"Silly girl, what a silly girl! Ling'er, you stupid girl! ”

Chen Feng's eyes were glazed, and tears kept overflowing his eyes.

"Brother Feng!" Zi Yuerong was extremely worried, her beautiful eyes moved, and she hurriedly comforted: "Brother Feng, maybe Sister Ling'er is not dead." Think about it. You were brought back to life by someone, maybe that great power can also save Sister Ling'er. ”

"Impossible." Chen Feng shook his head dumbfoundedly, "Ling'er, she is not a martial artist, her death is like the birth, old age, sickness and death of mortals, it is the natural embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth, and if she wants to resurrect her, she can't even be a god." ”

To be precise, Chen Feng originally lured demons into his body, which caused the meridians to dry up, and many of the meridians in his body were torn apart by the violent demonic qi. After all, the nine death holes have all been opened, and the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa" is really terrifying, and after killing the enemy, he has to die. That violent demonic qi can directly erode and abolish the meridians. Just imagine, otherwise, it would be possible for Chen Feng to live for five hundred years.

In other words, as long as the depleted meridians could be revived, Chen Feng could be resurrected. Therefore, Chen Feng is not considered a death in the true sense. The path of the warrior is to go against the sky, and finally become a god with martial arts and live with heaven and earth.

However, Ling'er is an ordinary person, and even the gods are helpless in her death.

"That's not necessarily, Brother Feng, you often tell me that there is no end to martial arts, and there is a mountain and a mountain high. There are also many kinds of gods, and as far as I know, the martial gods who are proficient in the heavenly path of reincarnation and the dao immortals who are proficient in the heavenly way of life both have the ability to bring people back to life. Brother Feng, you should cheer yourself up again, you have great potential, and you may not have no hope of becoming a god. Zi Yuerong comforted, looking at Chen Feng's grief-stricken appearance, she was very sad in her heart.

"The Heavenly Way of Life? Reincarnation Heavenly Dao? Chen Feng's dull gaze moved slightly, and he wondered: "What is the Heavenly Dao of Life and the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation." Isn't the Martial God mastering the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth? What is the Heavenly Dao? ”

"The way of heaven should be controlled by the law, such as in the fairy realm, it is said that there is a true immortal who has mastered the way of thunder, and his strength shocks the past and the present, and he enters the endless abyss, causing thousands of evil spirits to disappear." Zi Yue Rong said, "The attack power of the Thunder Heavenly Dao is extremely terrifying. If it is the Heavenly Way of Life, then it is still possible to bring people back to life. ”

"Is that really the case?" Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes were even more puzzled: "Rong'er, where did you hear this rumor?" You've just come to the Heavenly Martial Realm, and I've been here for three or four years, why haven't you heard of it? ”

"I don't know." Zi Yuerong's eyes were a little confused, and she said leisurely: "Brother Feng, you may not believe it. Since I was a child, there have been some inexplicable memory fragments that appear in my dreams, which are very strange. For example, the formations of Peach Blossom Island are mostly transformed from the middle and high-level formations in memory. I don't know if the so-called Heavenly Dao of Life exists, but I feel that those memory fragments are very real. At the beginning, Ling'er and I also thought that Brother Feng had passed away, but there is great power that can save you, in other words, Sister Ling'er may not be hopeless. ”

"Hey, Rong'er, I want to be quiet for the past three days." Chen Feng was upset. I didn't listen carefully, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

……

In the far east of the Tianwu Realm. There are many rich cities there, which are extremely prosperous and powerful. In the endless and vast area, a huge thunder light enchantment envelops hundreds of millions of mountains and rivers like a heavenly dome, this is the immortal realm. The time of existence of the Immortal Realm is much longer than that of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Once upon a time. When the Heavenly Martial Realm was still a barren land, the Immortal Realm already existed.

Although the Heavenly Martial Realm and the Immortal Realm are in the same Heavenly Realm, however, the two are very different. Fierce beasts in the Heavenly Martial Realm are rampant, and the bad environment is bad. It's almost impossible to see spirit animals. However, the fairy realm is full of spirit beasts, and it is simply a fairyland-like existence.

There are a lot of spirit beasts in the fairy realm, all kinds and levels, colorful cloud birds with five-colored feathers, three-eyed tengus, golden armor turtles that defend against extreme metamorphosis, etc., many spirit beasts are descendants of ancient divine beasts.

For example, the golden turtle has a pure Xuanwu blood in its body.

However, it is said that Xuanwu is one of the four elephants of the ancient divine beasts, and although it is missing, however, countless planes have its legends.

It is recorded in ancient books that the snake is witty, smart, and good at collecting money. The turtle belly and back have hard armor, the head and tail and limbs can be retracted into the armor, resistant, extremely long-lived, people use turtles for divination, yarrow, collectively known as turtles. The texture of the turtle's back is called the turtle text, and the tortoise shell is burned during divination, and the cracks are seen according to the cracks, and the blame is taken for the auspiciousness.

Chu Ci. Far Travel" notes the clouds: "Xuanwu, the name of the god of the north". "Historical Records of Heavenly Officials" said: "Beigong Xuanwu, void, dangerous". "Rebuilding the Weishu Collection" Volume 6 "Hetu": "The Black Emperor of the North, the god name Ye Guangji, is the essence of Xuanwu".

Guangdong water god

According to the theory of yin and yang five elements, the north belongs to water, so the northern god is the god of water. "The Biography of King Liang of the Later Han Dynasty": "Xuanwu, the name of the god of water". "Rebuilding the Weft Book Collection" Volume 6 "River Map": "The Seven Gods of the North actually begin with the Dou, the north of the town, and the main wind and rain." Rain is needed for the growth of all things, and water can extinguish fire, so the water god attribute of Xuanwu is quite important to the people

Xuanwu vision and faith.

Qu Dajun's "Guangdong New Language" contains: "I Guangdong Duo Zhenwu Palace, with the ancestral hall of Foshan in the South China Sea as the largest, called the Rizu Temple. It is like wearing hair without a crown, serving the emperor's clothes and building a Xuan flag, a golden sword is erected in front, a turtle and a snake, coiled left and right. According to the official book of Gaitian, the Black Emperor of the North Palace, the essence of Xuanwu, or the ancestor of Han Gao. The Cantonese worship the Red Emperor and worship the Black Emperor, and the Black Emperor is located in the North Pole and the South is ordered. The water of Nanming is born in the North Pole, with the North Pole as the source and the Nanming as the commission. Those who worship the Red Emperor are appointed with their water smelting commission, and those who worship the Black Emperor are also the source of their water. I Guangdong solid water country also, the people of the people in the tide of the salt, long in the light tide, so not with the fashionable Jiaowu with the change, people know for the Red Emperor's work, do not know for the Black Emperor's virtue. The corpse of the family is blessed by the household, although the ceremony is not compatible, and the reason why the Cantonese people report the book is also. (Volume 6 "Zhenwu" article) can be seen as an allusion to Xuanwu as the god of water. In ancient times, the turtle was a symbol of longevity and immortality, and could guide the flow of qi. The Biography of Turtle Ce Lie" contains clouds: "The old man in the south uses the turtle to support the bed, and he is more than 20 years old, and the old man dies, and the bed is moved, and the turtle is not dead." Turtles can conduct qi guidance". "Hug Puzi" contains: Chengyang Xuan Jian hunted when he was young, fell into the empty mound, was hungry, and saw that there was a big turtle in the mound. Counting and turning, impermanence, opening the mouth and swallowing the breath, or lying or looking up. Thrifty also heard that the turtle could guide, but he tried to follow the turtle's actions, so he did not go hungry again." Again. The first of the seven houses of the North Palace Xuanwu is also known as the South Dipper. "Star Classic" cloud: "The six stars of the Southern Dipper, the life of the Lord Son of Heaven, and the position of the Prime Minister." Jin Ganbao (survived around 316) "Sou Shen Ji" quoted Guan Zhi as saying: "Nandou is destined to live, and Beidou is injected to death." Worship Nandou can increase longevity. This is very attractive to emperors, bureaucrats, and ordinary people who pursue immortality. In ancient China, the stars in the sky were divided into seven star regions: "Three Walls" and "Four Elephants". The so-called "wall" means "wall". "Sanyuan" is "Ziweiyuan", symbolizing the imperial palace; "Taiweiyuan" symbolizes the administrative body; "Tenshigai" symbolizes a bustling market. These three walls are arranged in a triangular pattern around the North Star. There are "four elephants" distributed around the "three walls": "East Canglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, and North Xuanwu". That is to say, the astrological sign in the east is like a dragon, the astrological sign in the west is like a tiger, and the astrological sign in the south is like a big bird. The stars of the north are like turtles and snakes. Since the earth revolves around the sun, the stars in the sky also change with the seasons. Every evening at the turn of winter and spring, the dragon appears; At the turn of spring and summer, Xuanwu rises; At the turn of summer and autumn, the white tiger shows its head; At the turn of autumn and winter, the Suzaku rises. Like the other three spirits, Xuanwu has also been transformed by the 28 constellations in the world: Fighting, Bull, Female, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall. In ancient times, people interpreted Xuanwu in the following ways, "Xuanwu" means turtle. ”。 Volume 44 of "Taishang Huang Zheng Zhaiyi" calls the Northern Xuanwu Xingjun as: "Dousu Tianmiao Xingjun." Niu Su Tianji Xingjun, female Su Tiannu Xingjun. Void Su Tianqing Xingjun, Dangerous Su Tianqian Xingjun, Room Su Tianxiao Xingjun, Bisu Tianshi Xingjun. As for its image, the "Daomen Tongjiao Must Use Collection" rolls seven clouds: "Northern Xuanwu, Taiyin is born." Hypocritical surface, turtle and snake table shape, wandering in the nine places, dominating all souls, coming from my right. "At the same time. Taoism also uses it in alchemy terms, such as the "Yun Ji Qixi" volume 72 quotes the "Ancient Scriptures" The four gods of the pill said: "Xuanwu, the northern non decane water black mercury also, can be soft and strong." "Sutra" cloud: goodness is like water. Non-lead, non-tin, non-stones, etc., water is the god water in the east of the river, born in the first place of heaven and earth, to the medicine can not be temporarily abandoned, can nourish all things, so it is called Xuanwu. Xuanwu's value increased in the Song Dynasty and was personified, which was inseparable from the emperors of the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were legends of Zhenwu and Tianpeng as the generals of the sky. In the first year of the Tianxi of Weizhenzong, an incident happened in the military camp. In the seventh volume of "The Origin of Things": "The battalion has seen the snake, and the sergeant has built a real martial arts hall because of it." In the fourth month of the second year, the spring spring hall side, inexhaustible, the people who are sick and diseased, drink more and heal. When Zhenzong heard about this, he issued an edict to build a view on the spot and gave the name 'Xiangyuan'. This is about the earliest Zhenwu temple in China. The first volume of the Xuantian God's Revelation records such a story:

Emperor Xuan recited the Tao single-mindedly, and then felt that the Yuqing Holy Ancestor Zi Yuanjun taught Wuji the Tao. Yuan Jun told Emperor Xuan and said: Zi Ke crossed the sea to travel eastward, and under the wings, there are mountains from the dry to the traces, circling 50,000 miles. The water is out of the earthquake palace. If you have Tai Chi, you will be born as a mountain. It should be determined that the extreme wind is too peaceful, and the emperor cliff is two days, there are seventy-two peaks and thirty-six rocks. The son can enter the mountain, choose among the peaks, and those who rush to the high purple sky live in it, and they should be the deed and too harmonious. After the ascension, five hundred years old when the heavens, the dragon and the Han two tribulations in the hair and feet, the true essence of the detachment, return to the roots, the upper for the three realms of the auxiliary ministers, the lower as the ten great sages, the fame of the billions of eons, and the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon together, is its fruit is full. After the end, Yuan Jun ascended to the clouds and left. This story is still seen in the third volume of "Taishang Said Xuantian Great Sage Zhenwu Ben Divine Mantra". From its plot, it can be seen that Emperor Xuan's "teacher" is called "Ziyuanjun". According to Taoist calling habits, the high-standard female fairy party is called "Yuanjun", which shows that Ziyuanjun is a woman. The text of "Xuantian God's Revelation of the Holy Record" adds the phrase "Yuqing Holy Ancestor" before Zi Yuanjun, which can not only show Zi Yuanjun's status in the Taoist fairyland, but also show that she is the female fairy of the heavenly realm. This "Yuan Jun" is regarded as the "Holy Ancestor", which shows the prominence of her status, and she lives in the "Yuqing" realm, which seems to belong to the large family under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shi Tianzun. From a rational standpoint, the story of Emperor Xuan's apprenticeship is of course a manifestation of belief psychology, and it is difficult for us ordinary mortals to find Emperor Xuandi's academic records from the graduate school of Immortal University in Yuqing Shengjing. However, this information at least provides a useful clue for us to trace the question of how the Xuanwu belief intersected with the Dan Dao lineage during the popularization process. Considering the "Daozang", there is a scripture called "Ziyuanjun Teaching the Tao and Transmitting the Heart Law" (hereinafter referred to as the "Heart Law"), and the title is Changsheng Yin Zhenren Note. Since it is a "note", it means that its scriptures already existed before Yin Changsheng, according to the Taoist saying, Changsheng Yin Zhenren, also known as Yin Zhenjun, or Ying Zhenjun.

The ancients divided the 28 Nakshatras into four groups, namely the Seven Nakshatras of the Canglong in the East, the Seven Nakshatras of Xuanwu in the North, the Seven Nakshatras of the White Tiger in the West, and the Seven Nakés of the Vermilion Bird in the South. This is a reflection of the totem worship of the ancestors in ancient astronomy. The ancestors regarded the dragon as the chief of the scale insects, the phoenix as the king of birds, the tiger as the chief of the beasts, and the turtle as the king of insects, and the four were collectively called the four spirits. As early as in primitive societies, the four spirits had appeared in different tribes as a form of totem worship. On the bronzes of the Shang Dynasty, the family emblem decoration with these animals as the clan name often appears, which is a reflection of totem worship.

Around the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to the beginning of the Warring States Period, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and turtles were regarded as "divine beasts of the four directions", and became the gods in charge of the four directions and blessed the four directions. The four spirits are worshipped as a whole representing the four directions, which is the product of the combination of the clan totem worship, auspicious worship and spiritual worship of the ancestors, among which the dragon and phoenix totem are the symbols of the magnificent national integration of the Chinese nation, and the turtle and tiger may be a unique totem created according to the thrilling war.

It should be added that before the Han Dynasty, Xuanwu was only the image of a turtle. After the Han Dynasty, the Xuanwu in the tile dang, murals, brick carvings, and tomb stone carvings also added the image of the snake on the basis of the turtle, which is due to the fact that people found that the turtle in the turtle (also called the tomb turtle, the snake turtle) likes to eat snakes by nature, and often carries the snake. Therefore, the simple turtle was changed to the image of the turtle and snake entwined and the two heads fighting, so as to highlight the brave spirit of the Xuanwu snake eater to eliminate evil. At the same time, the tortoise and snake are entangled, and the turtle and snake spirit show another world of Chinese culture. The ancestor of Xuanwu, or pushing the Yellow Emperor, or pushing Fuxi, or pushing Jiang Ziya, is another kind of totem.

……

The Immortal Realm has existed since ancient times, and due to the protection of the Thunder Light Enchantment, there are few attacks from evil spirits and fierce beasts. The overall strength of the Immortal Domain is extremely strong. The forces in the fairy realm are even more intricate and extremely complex. Large and small, there are many sects.

Among them, there is a sect called Baihua Palace, which is a sect of women cultivating immortals, and the sect is extremely powerful. (To be continued......)
