Chapter 3: The Separation of God and Man
"I ...... Where is this? As he became conscious, the young man sat up from the wooden couch with a spirit, "Green turtle, human face? ”
With a faint pain in his brain, the young man shook his head vigorously, closed his eyes for a while, and then opened his eyes again, and found that he was covered with a set of green shirts.
It is a wooden house, divided into two entrances, and the wooden door enters a living room, and the back of the living room is separated by a beaded curtain from the bedroom, and the interior of the room is very simple. The young man was lying on a wooden couch in the living room, covered with straw mats, and in front of him was an eight-square table with a clay teapot and tea bowls. On the left side of the living room is a bookcase, supplemented by the four treasures of the study, and on the right is a closed wooden window. There are two cloud and fog maps hanging on both sides of the wooden window, and there are inscriptions under them, and the handwriting is beautiful.
"Goo~~~" There was a belly sound from his stomach, and after touching his stomach, the young man moved his eyes to the teapot on the Bafang table.
"Gollum, Gollum!" Creeping to the table, the young man lifted the teapot and aimed it at the spout to make a slam of water.
"Hee-hee-hee!" Just when the young man was feeling happy, there was a burst of exquisite laughter behind him.
The young man's body stiffened, slowly put down the teapot, and turned his head to look behind him. Behind him, there was a slender girl, the girl was petite, with a melon seed face, bright eyes like water, wearing a lake blue embroidered dress, and a pink long skirt on the bottom.
The maiden wore a blue square crown on her head, which was extremely wide. The girl's face is small and her head is narrow, which looks very inappropriate, and her face is immature and fair, as if a child is wearing an adult's hat, and her appearance is extremely cute.
Seeing the young man's stunned expression, the girl seemed to feel even more amused, and raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, laughing wildly. It's just that the wide crown on her head could only barely be supported by a bun, but now she was laughing and leaning forward and flipping back, and the crown suddenly leaned forward very unceremoniously, covering her forehead, eyebrows, nose, and even half of her face, and the exquisite laughter came to an abrupt end.
"Hahaha!" Now it was replaced by the young man laughing.
"Don't laugh!" The girl hurriedly straightened her crown and scolded with her cheeks puffed out.
"Hahaha!" Looking at the girl's embarrassed appearance, the young man laughed even louder.
"Goo~~~" At this time, the young man's stomach rang again very inopportunely, making his face flush and stop laughing.
"Hee-hee!" The embarrassment of the young man made the girl feel that she had won back a city, and her anger showed slightly, but she did not dare to make fun of the young man loudly again, so as not to make herself ugly again.
"Hey, this is for you to eat, so you won't be hungry again!" The girl was like a trick, and took out a plate of melons and fruits from behind her and put them on the Bafang table.
"Oh!" The young man hesitated slightly, reached out and took the fruit plate, picked up a fruit and took a small bite, and found that there was nothing unusual in his body, so he devoured it, although his mouth was full of juice, he did not forget to thank him, "Thank you for the fruit......"
The fruit brought by the girl melted in the mouth, was sweet and delicious, and a plate of melons and fruits was eaten by the young man in three or two bites.
"Anything else?" The young man stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said meaningfully.
"No, you...... It's really delicious! I'll have to eat these for at least two days! The girl was slightly stunned.
"Can you compare with me?" The young man glanced at the girl, pursed his lips and said, "It's a pity that the turtle ......ran away."
"You still dare to fight Xiaoqing's idea!" The girl raised her eyebrows, crossed her hands on her hips and snorted angrily, "By the way, now that I've finished eating, it's time to report my name, are you a god or a fairy?" ”
"God, immortal?" The young man was in a trance, and a fragment of memory floated in the depths of his mind, "I seem to be called ...... Nie Li! Neither a god nor an immortal, but a man! ”
"People? No way! Reach out and show me! The girl's thin willow eyebrows furrowed, rolled up her long sleeves, stretched out two jade fingers, and gently put them on Nie Li's wrists.
"Hmph, you're really not human!" With just a light touch, the girl slapped Nie Li's wrist away again.
"You're not human!" Nie Li glanced at the girl angrily, "I'm not human, what is it?" ”
"Your body already contains the laws of heaven and earth, although you don't know that you are a god or an immortal, but you can never be a human!" The girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm not human anymore? So, I've died and become an immortal? Nie Li muttered, and then asked, "Is this the Heavenly Realm?" What is the difference between gods and immortals? ”
"This is indeed the Heavenly Realm, but it has not yet reached the Heavenly Court. God is an immortal with a priesthood, just like me! The girl lifted her chin and pointed to the unsuitable crown on her head.
"Oh, Nie Li has seen the goddess official, I don't know ......" The young man settled down and bowed.
"My name is Xi Yao, hehe!" Xi Yao smiled, "It seems that you have just become an immortal, and now there are more and more immortals in the human world, and the heavenly court can't arrange it." It is estimated that after a while, Heavenly Court will open a new immortal realm to arrange for you people! ”
"Xi Yao? Beautiful name! What kind of official are you in Heavenly Court! Nie Li rolled his eyes and asked curiously.
"I know a little about pharmacology, and the Emperor of Heaven has ordered me to control the Holy Light to take care of the Divine Tree!" Xi Yao said proudly.
"It turned out to be a tree farmer...... Nie Li muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say!"
"Nothing, nothing!" Nie Li saw that the girl seemed to be in a state of madness again, and hurriedly shook his hand.
"Nie Li, let me ask you, the human world ...... What does it look like? Aren't there a lot of mortals, and do you have a lot of people to talk to on weekdays? Xi Yao asked as she walked to the Bafang table, holding her chin in her hands, and her eyes sparkling.
"I remember very few things...... I only remember that I had two brothers-in-law, one named Gao Yan and the other named Long Sheng...... There are ......" Nie Li sat down, sorting out the fragmented memories with a blurred gaze, and slowly narrating.
"Woooooooooooo That Yang Ye is really bad! Nightshade is so pathetic! Xi Yao wiped her eyes with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help but be curious, "What happened later, what happened later?" ”
"Later, it seems that there are many more things later, but I can't remember!" Nie Li spread his hands and said distressedly, "Then, I don't know how to come here!" ”
"You mean, you used to have the name of the Three Righteous Warriors of Qiu Chi?" Xi Yao frowned and groaned for a while, then clapped her hands with a smile, "I probably know why you became an immortal!" If a monk in the human world wants to become an immortal, he must cultivate merits, and you, a righteous man, should have many mortals in the world to gather merit and belief for you, so you only became an immortal after you died! ”
In fact, neither Xi Yao nor Nie Li realized that the current human world is still the Shang Dynasty, and the Jiang and Yang States that Nie Li said are the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there is almost a thousand years before and after. Seriously calculated, Nie Li should be regarded as a future person. However, don't say that Xi Yao doesn't know yet, even if she knows, she won't take it to heart.
It is only because the laws of time and space in the heavenly realm are different from those in the human world that some immortals can go to the past life and the future and control some of the laws of time and space. As long as the basic laws of heaven and earth remain unchanged, there will be no major changes in the history of this fairy sword era, and a few tributaries will not affect the stability of the laws of the world.
In fact, this is also the particularity of high-end time and space, and the Immortal Sword Era that Xu Mo initially entered still belongs to the low-end task world because he only has contact with the human world.
"Am I really dead?" Nie Li raised his hand to look in confusion, he vaguely felt that what Xi Yao said was not right, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"You're not dead, you're an immortal!" Looking at the young man in a trance, Xi Yao puffed out her cheeks a little uneasily.
"Thanks for the fruit, it's time for me to go!" Nie Li came to his senses, stood up, and pushed open the door.
"You ......" Xi Yao stretched out her hand, but she didn't know how to speak.
"...... here" After pushing open the door, Nie Li's eyes suddenly widened. He had been in the room, the windows were closed, and he had never been able to see the outside world. Now that I see the scene in front of me, I suddenly feel like I'm in a dream.
Nie Li's eyes were a boundless blue sky, and many hanging boulders were like islands floating on the sea, with high and low levels and thousands of shapes. These floating islands are large and small, and white clouds float between them.
On some large islands, there are even cascading waterfalls that fall into the streams of the islands, stirring up a mist of water, and in the sunlight, a small half-curved rainbow hangs over the water. Most of the floating islands are bred with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals, and the sound of insects and birds is refreshing and beautiful.
In the middle of these floating islands is the Celestial Sacred Tree, which is several kilometers in diameter. The wooden house where Nie Li was located was also a small floating island, and there was a small flower garden in front of the wooden house, planted with colorful medicinal herbs. Nie Li, who had been thinking about the Xuanwu Xiaoqing who had made the turtle soup, was lying on the edge of the flower garden and resting, with a big bubble blowing in his huge nostrils.
"It's beautiful!" Nie Yue walked to the edge of the island and found that the floating island was surrounded by an invisible soft circle of light.
"This place belongs to the lower layer of the heavenly realm, and these floating islands are all formed by the giant rocks adsorbed by the divine tree, and they all have the divine power protection layer of the divine tree on the outside. You should be careful, don't wear out of the protective layer, there is a fierce wind in the outside world, which will cause harm to a new immortal like you. Xi Yao's voice came from behind Nie Li.
"And how do I leave?" Nie Li asked in a daze.
"Hehe, when you came, Xiaoqing carried you on your back, you always wanted to eat it, and now it is estimated that it is not willing to carry you away!" Xi Yao clapped her hands happily and laughed, "Actually, you don't have to leave in a hurry, you can wait here for Heavenly Court to arrange your duties before leaving." ”
"Aren't all the immortals of Heavenly Court here?" Nie Li asked curiously.
"Heavenly Court is on the upper level of the Divine Tree, this is the middle of the Divine Tree, and I am the only one!" Xi Yao chuckled and shook her head, with an imperceptible loneliness on her face.
Actually, Xi Yao didn't explain a sentence to Xu Mo. Seven days in heaven, a thousand years on earth! The celestial realm and the human world in the Fairy Sword Era are located in two different dimensional interfaces, and in addition, the Fairy Sword Era also has the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm and other small realms, and the speed of time is different. Even if the upper layer of the Heavenly Realm where Heavenly Court is located and the lower layer where Xi Yao is located, the speed of time flow is not the same. The seven days here in Xiyao are equivalent to three days in the upper layer.
"But I'm not always alone, and other gods come to me all the time! At that time, there will be someone to talk to me just like today! Looks like someone is coming tomorrow! Xi Yao seemed to remember something, and her beautiful little face bloomed with a bright smile, like a blooming epiphany, which made Nie Li couldn't help but look stupid.
