Chapter 5: The Legend of the Day
As soon as night fell, the beautiful Peach Blossom Village fell into a dead silence.
Hundreds of households, none of them lit the lights, none of them went out, and the whole village fell into darkness and dead silence.
Qin Shou found that he was thinking too much, what Ye Qiuling said about sleeping with him was really just sleeping with him.
She slept on the bed, Qin Shou slept on the ground, accompany, sleep!
Qin Shou was a little speechless: "It turns out that this is what you mean by sleeping together." ”
Ye Qiuling looked innocent: "Yes, otherwise Brother Qin, what do you think you mean?"
Qin Shou muttered in a low voice: "I thought it was some kind of island country action movie or something." ”
Ye Qiuling: "Island country action movie?
Qin Shou: "This ...... It's hard to say it clearly in words, but when I'm free in the future, I'll teach you by hand. ”
Ye Qiuling nodded seriously, "Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it, let's swear by high-five." ”
Qin Shou couldn't cry or laugh, "It's not necessary." ”
Ye Qiuling said very seriously: "In our clan, high-fives are the most solemn oath, and it is an oath to the ancestors. Once a promise is made, it must be done, otherwise it will be punished by the heavenly thunder sent down by the ancestors. Brother Qin, if you don't swear by me with a high-five, do you want to regret it?"
Qin Shou: "I regret it......?" I'm afraid you'll regret it. ”
Ye Qiuling patted his chest and promised: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will never regret it." ”
"That'...... Just give it a high-five. Qin Shou shrugged his shoulders indifferently, anyway, he was very willing, and it was not him who would suffer when the time came.
Ye Qiuling happily stretched out his slender jade hand and erected it in front of Qin Shou.
With a smile, Qin Shou stretched out his right hand and patted it gently.
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded,
"Roar!"
This roar shook the heavens and the earth, as if a prehistoric giant beast woke up, looked up to the sky and roared, shocking hundreds of miles, and soaring into the sky.
Qin Shou was even more shocked and his blood boiled, his eardrums trembled, and he almost lost his hearing.
Qin Shou was startled, but was stopped by Ye Qiuling, and pressed his mouth with his index finger, making a silent movement.
Qin Shou was confused, and he really wanted to open the door to see, what was going on outside?
But seeing Ye Qiuling's sincere eyes, he knew that this woman would definitely not harm him, so he could only hold back his curiosity, not speak, and quietly listen to the movements outside.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The roar was followed by one violent tremor after another, and the earth shook violently, and the whole house shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Is there an earthquake?" Qin Shou was shocked, but soon, he realized that something was wrong, this vibration had a frequency, one after another, like the sound of footsteps.
Thinking of the earth-shattering roar before, Qin Shou couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be ...... Is it really the prehistoric beast that has awakened?"
Until this moment, Qin Shou finally understood the reason why Ye Qiuling wanted to sleep with him.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Hoo ......"
Suddenly, the wind blew.
A great darkness flashed through the air, obscuring the entire village and the moonlight.
"Roaring ......"
A long howl shook the nine skies.
A huge black shadow walked out from behind a high mountain, the light was too dim to see the face of the black shadow clearly, but those eyes, like two blood moons, shot out two red and demonic gazes, fierce and monstrous.
However, none of them approached the village, but left silently after making a circle around the village.
Heaven and earth have finally returned to peace!
Elder Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that his hand was still on Qin Shou's mouth, and quickly took it back, blushing his cheeks, and said, "Brother Qin, you can speak now." ”
Qin Shou naturally had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, "Those just now...... What is it?"
Ye Qiuling: "Those are all desolate beasts. ”
Qin Shou: "Desolate Beast, what is Desolate Beast?"
Ye Qiuling: "The desolate beast is the remnant of the desolate wilderness. They were born in the era of the flood and should have been extinct in ancient times, but because of the particularity of this island, they survived. Because of this, the desolate beast cannot leave the island, and if it leaves the island, it will die. ”
"The Flood Era, the Ancient Era?"
The more Qin Shou listened, the more mysterious he felt, "So, you didn't let me go out in the afternoon, just because of these wild beasts?"
Ye Qiuling nodded and said, "Desolate beasts are generally dormant during the day and active at night. When you go out at that time, the sun will set, and if you don't come back before dark, you will die at the hands of these beasts. ”
Qin Shou: "Listen to what you mean, as long as you hide in the village, you will be safe?"
Ye Qiuling shook his head and said, "Not only in the village, but on this island, as long as there is a place where the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the wild beasts dare not approach, and they are all safe." ”
"Peach Blossom!?"
Qin Shou then remembered that the entire village was full of peach blossoms inside and outside the village, could it be that there was something strange in this?
"Is there anything special about the peach blossoms on the island?" Qin Shou asked.
Ye Qiuling said with some pride: "The peach trees on the island have all been cast by the ancestors of our clan, and they have strong prohibition and attack power, and the desolate beasts dare not approach. ”
Qin Shouhu said suspiciously: "But I touched those peach trees during the day, and nothing happened." ”
Ye Qiuling: "The prohibition of the peach tree will only be launched against the desolate beasts, not the human race." So, no matter how you touch it, as long as you don't cut down the peach tree, you'll be fine. ”
Qin Shou asked, "What if you cut down these peach trees?"
Ye Qiuling's expression was serious: "Brother Qin, you must not cut down these peach trees. ”
Qin Shou smiled: "I just asked casually, don't worry, I won't have nothing to do to cut down the peach tree, I still have to rely on it to save my life." I mean, what happens if somebody cuts down a peach tree?"
Ye Qiuling said in a deep voice: "The tree is on the island, and the tree is destroyed and the island is sinking." ”
Qin Shou's heart jumped: "So serious?"
Ye Qiuling nodded and said, "This is all passed down from generation to generation in our clan, and there is absolutely no mistake." ”
Qin Shou: "Who is the ancestor of your clan?
Ye Qiuling shook his head and said, "I don't know." The ancestors have passed away for many years, and the people in the clan don't know how many generations have died, and in our generation, basically nothing is known. ”
After hearing this, Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I guessed right, there is a great danger on this island. Those desolate beasts, they are afraid that no one can stop them, no wonder the pursuers of the Nine Emperors did not chase and kill here. ”
Taiqing Heavenly Monarch: "It's not just a desolate beast, there is also a powerful prohibition on this island. ”
Qin Shou: "Ban, what forbidden?"
Taiqing Tianjun: "Just now, Ye Yatou said that there was a ban on the peach tree, so I spread out my divine sense and probed the nearby peach tree. Ye Yatou is right, these peach trees are actually spiritual roots, containing huge spiritual power, and some people have planted these peach trees according to a certain formation, forming a large array, blocking the entire island and isolating it from the world. ”
Qin Shou seemed to have realized: "That's why there are so many desolate beasts on this island that should be extinct. Therefore, the people in this village all speak the ancient gods. Because of this formation, they have cut off contact with the outside world?"
Taiqing Tianjun: "That's right, I think I've roughly guessed the origin of this island." ”
"Oh?" Qin Shou's eyes lit up, "Do you know the origin of this island?" ”
Taiqing Tianjun: "If my guess is correct, this island should be one of the three legendary immortal islands, Fusang Island." ”
Fuso Island?
Qin Shou suddenly thought of the records about overseas immortal islands and Fusang trees in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and subconsciously said, "Don't tell me, there are also Fusang trees and golden crows?"
Taiqing Tianjun said curiously: "How did you know about the Golden Crow God?"
Qin Shou was speechless.
First the god of war Xingtian, and now it is the Fusang tree and the golden crow, how does he feel that he has jumped into the story of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? But he is very sure that this is not a dream.
It's just so weird.
"I guessed casually. Qin Shou casually found an excuse to perfunctory the past, and did not tell Taiqing Tianjun about the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
In fact, Qin Shou still has some doubts and reservations about Taiqing Tianjun so far.
After all, Qin Shou's current understanding of the outside world was all learned from the mouth of the Taiqing Heavenly Monarch, and whether it was true or false still needs to be verified. Moreover, the Taiqing Heavenly Monarch pulled him into this whirlpool for no reason, saying that he wanted to use his hands to collect the fragments of the golden shield and reforge the golden shield. And what about the recast of the golden shield? What does he want to do?
I don't know.
Qin Shou didn't know anything about Taiqing Tianjun now, and he didn't even know his purpose, so he had to be vigilant. This is a habit he has developed in his five years as a police officer.
Taiqing Tianjun didn't dwell too much on this issue, and continued: "It is rumored that in the era of the flood and famine, the patriarch of the Jinwu clan in the demon world cultivated to the god realm, and it was a disaster for the Nine Realms. In order to save the common people, the patriarch of the Sun Clan, the star god Kuafu, fought with the Golden Crow God for ten days and ten nights, and finally killed the Golden Crow God, but Kuafu himself died of exhaustion, and his body sank into the sea and turned into an island, named Fusang Island. His weapon, the Star Scepter, turned into a peach forest, protecting the descendants of the Ri Clan who lived on Fuso Island. ”
Qin Shou listened to the words of Taiqing Tianjun, and compared with the description of Kuafu's day-by-day account in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, although there are some discrepancies, they are still roughly the same.
This made Qin Shou more and more confused.
In China, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a well-known book, which records many ancient mythological stories, such as Xingtian Dance Ganqi, Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Jingwei Reclamation and so on.
However, no one has ever known who is the author of this strange book?
In the past, Qin Shou was just a mortal, thinking that the records in the Book of Mountains and Seas were all fictional and imaginary. But now, Qin Shou found that this was not the case, and the records in the Book of Mountains and Seas seemed to be true.
Could it be that the person who wrote the Sutra of Mountains and Seas was also a practitioner? He knew the Nine Realms and the history of the Nine Realms, so he compiled these histories into a book with slight modifications?
The mystery in Qin Shou's mind was getting bigger and bigger, if his guess was true, then where was the cultivator who wrote the Sutra of Mountains and Seas now? Is it still hiding on Earth, or is it dead, or is it hiding somewhere in the Nine Realms?
People don't do meaningless things, and that person must have his purpose in compiling the Book of Mountains and Seas. What is his purpose?
There are too many mysteries to figure out.
