Chapter 4: Antiquity
Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate.
According to ancient legends, when the universe was first born, it was like a round chicken, and everything was chaotic, and then I don't know that hundreds of millions of years later, there were great gods Pangu and Nuwa who came out of nothingness, among which Pangu's eyes were closed and then a zhang long, which lasted 18,000 years, grew into a peerless giant, punched chaos, and broke the universe.
After that, the clear qi rose and turned into the sky, and the turbid qi descended into the continent, and at this moment, Pangu was dying because of the chaos that broke through the chaos, and finally died generously, and after death, the last breath out of his mouth turned into wind and clouds;
The left eye becomes the sun, and the right eye becomes the moon;
The hands, feet, and body evolved into the mountains and mountains on the vast land;
The blood becomes rivers, rivers, lakes, and seas;
The veins and muscles became fertile soil and covered the ground;
The hair became the stars above the firmament;
The hair on the body becomes flowers and trees;
Teeth, bones, and bone marrow are turned into deposits, and sweat is turned into dew and rain.
After the formation of heaven and earth, Nuwa was saddened by Pangu's death, hid in the ocean, and fell into a long sleep.
After that, all things evolved, and life such as insects, animals, birds, and sea objects gradually arose from creation, multiplied, and filled the heavens and the earth.
After a long time, Nuwa woke up, stepped out of the sea, and saw the flourishing creatures in the world, and was overjoyed, so she took the appearance of herself and Pangu, pinched the clay to shape, blew air, and made playthings, which she called 'people'
When it was, the heavens and the earth were full of wilderness, and from time to time a chaotic miasma seeped out from the depths of the earth, and no matter what kind of life was disturbed by it, it would become bloodthirsty, aggressive, and ferocious;
Or become languishing and lethargic like death.
The great god Nuwa did not want the life she created to lose its nature, so she created a peaceful place with her divine power and kept people in captivity.
In that peaceful township, the fruit trees are ripe in ten days, and the rice can be harvested in ten days, and human beings live in it in natural peace and worry, and slowly open up their wisdom, consciously know how to dress, build houses, create language and writing, and create a splendid civilization that other lives do not have!
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a blessing that can be enjoyed forever.
Although Nuwa is born with divine powers, she always has a lifespan, and in the end it is difficult to escape the fate of death, and as soon as she dies, the peaceful and happy land that has lost her protector will immediately fall apart, and tens of billions of human beings, who have been carefree since the birth of the population, and live happily and peacefully, suddenly fell into a desperate situation like purgatory.
Fierce beasts, birds of prey, demonic hunting of psychic creatures, chaotic miasma, winter, insect pests and other disasters caused by nature... I don't know how many terrible causes are enough to cause the extinction of the human race.
Fortunately, although human beings do not have the sharp teeth of beasts and the strange magical powers of demons, they also have their own unique strengths, that is, Jiukai Spiritual Intelligence and a huge number.
At the time of crisis, the sages were born one after another, the first sage Shennong tasted a hundred herbs to make a poisonous miasma, a bear refined a hundred gold to become a killing weapon, and then there was the great sage Li Erguan who naturally operated and created a mystic;
Chi You learned the magic of demon psychic and obtained witchcraft, saw the unique breathing and culling methods of fierce beasts, and achieved the art of physical training;
Xia Qicai's bloodline of powerful demons and beasts dissolves in the human body, changing his personality and changing his life... All kinds of esoteric methods were endless, and finally let the human race gain a foothold in the wilderness before it perished.
After the continuous progress of human beings, and created some wonderful spells, treasures can suppress the chaos and miasma, the scarce race gradually by building a city to live again become huge, and slowly spread, and then after countless times, endless twists and turns of the refining actually formed a different skin color, hair, different languages and characters of the race, creating the east, south, west, north four continents of civilization.
At this time, Thirty-three and Shi Enlightenment lost the protection of the Buddhist temple enchantment technique, and were surrounded by a chaotic miasma, if it wasn't for taking the precious pill early to prevent it, I am afraid that they would have lost their minds long ago.
However, the human race always has an innate fear of chaotic breath, smelling the eternal miasma at the end of the nose, mixed with rotten wood and withered grass, saying that it is not fragrant, saying that it is not smelly and strange, even if he feels that there is no discomfort in Lingzhi, Thirty-three still can't help but shiver.
And felt the strange enlightenment of the child on his back, but at this moment he had no intention of paying attention, only caring about using his spirit to observe the movements around him, all the way along the river to subdue demons and eliminate beasts, open the forest and open the path, until the sun sunset in the west, the sky was dark, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and landed on a flat boulder near the water.
"The wilderness, the night is a hundred times more dangerous than the day, and we will rest here tonight." Taking a deep breath, he gently placed Thirty-Three on the ground and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Then I'll go around and collect some firewood and grass to make a fire." Thirty-three Wenyan tried hard to move his stiff body, and said with low eyebrows.
"That's not necessary." Shi Juewu shook his head when he heard this, took out a brocade bag from his arms, opened the yellow silk rope wrapped around the mouth of the bag, and felt out a crystal clear, high-pitched glass lamp.
After that, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to swallow a mouthful of the moist air in the forest, and after his stomach bulged slightly, his Adam's apple moved, and he drank, "Hmph." At the same time, a slender line of fire erupted from his mouth, swept over the lamp, and lit the glass lamp.
Suddenly, a ball of fire was born out of nothingness, and with a slight warmth, it enveloped the three-foot radius on the white stone by the riverside.
Looking at the little flame on the wick, Thirty-three couldn't help but show admiration on his face, and blurted out: "It's a good treasure that this little bean-sized flame can give birth to such light and heat." ”
Standing the glass lamp gently on the white stone, Shi Juewu smiled and said: "A glass cup engraved with the 'Light Mantra' is just a treasure.
It's just that heaven nourishes all things to restrain each other, no matter how fierce and difficult the beasts and monsters are, unless they enlighten their minds, they must be afraid of the fire, and it is indeed much more convenient to walk in the wilderness realm at night with such a lamp. He sat cross-legged under the lamp.
His words were understated, but it was difficult to hide the smugness in his tone, and the thirty-three on the side hurriedly continued to compliment after hearing this: "Donglai Maitreya, senior brother is too humble, the light mantra is one of the most difficult nine methods to practice in the eighty-one mantras of my interpretation, and it is difficult for ordinary people to perform it by themselves, let alone engraved on the utensils.
Your glass cup is almost a magic weapon, how is it not a treasure. He also accompanied a smiling face while speaking, and sat opposite the enlightenment.
"Senior brother, you look at Mu Ne, but you have a clever mouth." Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Shi Juewu's mouth unconsciously, and he took out a small pale cyan jade bottle from his arms and threw it to Thirty-three, "In this bottle is the 'Doom Pill' soaked in the 'green light dew', two drops of dew with a pill medicine can make ordinary people not feel hungry and thirsty for a day and a night, you can use some." ”
"Yes." Thirty-three respectfully folded his hands in response, pulled the cork of the jade bottle, sniffed the faint aroma of herbs, raised his head and swallowed the pills and steamed dew, and immediately felt that his hungry stomach became much more comfortable.
Comfortably relieved, he rubbed his stomach, and was about to compliment the enlightenment a few more words, but found that the Buddha on the opposite side had closed his eyes and fell into meditation, so he stopped talking with interest, and thought silently in his heart: "This enlightenment and enlightenment are not enough, and after getting along for a long time, they can also half-truths and half-truths reveal a bit of humanity."
But in the end, there are cultivators, who eat my sycophants, and they can restrain the heart ape for a while, but it is also rare...", silently lying under the lamp, and also closed his eyes.
Although there are strange sounds of 'squirming and squirming...' from time to time in the surrounding dense forest, and every once in a while there are either high-pitched and piercing, or low, and terrifying demon roars appear, but the three-foot glass light is like a solid wall, protecting the enlightenment and the thirty-three nights of peace.
At dawn the next day, the two of them left early and continued the unknown journey, just like that, thirty-three people crossed the mountains and mountains behind the enlightenment, crossed the river and crossed the river for more than ten days, and when they were hungry, they filled their hunger with pills, and when they were thirsty, they drank two drops of jade dew, and they didn't know how many demons and beasts they met along the way, and finally came to the foot of a towering mountain.
At this moment, the bright golden robe of Shi Juewu has long been dirty, and the moon-white monk's robe worn inside exudes an unpleasant stench, and the whole person has changed from a monk sitting on the altar in the wind and clear moon to a beggar.
And he is all in this embarrassed appearance, Thirty-three is naturally even more unbearable, the monk's robe that was originally simply wrapped directly around the body has long become a strand of dirty cloth, tied under the crotch to cover the shame, and the upper body is directly naked, revealing a lot of scars.
