5.25 The ancient ancestors, the flood and the secrecy

However, what Wu Chen doesn't understand is what is abstinence for?
So he asked, "Shopkeeper, I still don't know something." β
"Please."
"Since Our Lady of Yushan can cure the disease, and you follow her to settle in Yushan, have you ever been better?"
"Of course." The middle-aged man subconsciously touched his cheek: "Look at me, do you have symptoms of half demonization?" β
"Therefore, if you abstain from the desire of the tongue, the demonization disease will not recur." Wu Chen understood. Just like the 'taboo' in traditional Chinese medicine, although some diseases are cured, if you eat a certain food, they will recur. That's why there is a taboo.
"It's nature." The middle-aged man nodded solemnly. Looking at the expression, I think of my poor sister again.
Wu Chen asked some things related to Cliff City, and the middle-aged man also answered them one by one.
After talking about it, everything that should be understood has been clearly understood. If you don't understand, you can only wait to find the answer slowly. Anyway, the flow of time in Cliff City is very slow, and Wu Chen has time.
The guests gradually approached the door, and the middle-aged man said goodbye and left. Leave Wu Chen to pour himself a drink.
Soon, all the colored wine of the pottery was drunk by Wu Chen alone. Wine with this degree is about the same as red wine. Drinking too much can also be intoxicating. Wu Chen seemed to be sitting alone, but in fact, he had been communicating with the four major gods in the cave mansion quickly. Pieced together the information learned, the outline of the whole event gradually became clear.
Regarding the original intention of Our Lady of Yushan to do this, Wu Chen felt. Healing is one thing, and harvesting believers is the other. As for which is more important, it depends on what angle you look at. From the perspective of the ancestors, it is of course the most important thing to be able to save lives. From the perspective of Our Lady, faith should be more important.
The ancestors and the Virgin took what they needed. There is no right or wrong. Or good and evil.
Wu Chen felt that the ancestors and today's human beings should be different. Because they are stronger. Compared to humans, it's like the difference between a wizard and a Muggle. Or the difference between ancient martial arts masters and ordinary people. Wu Chen used to read ancient books and often used this word to describe someone's bravery: cracked tiger and leopard.
Now that I think about it, the ancestors could really do it!
Wu Chen felt that the reason why the ancient ancestors were so strong should be the era in which the ancestors lived. The aura is abundant, and the strange beasts are entrenched.
The peripheral nerves of the Father are like the radiation after a nuclear war, all over the ground (Pangu: Lao Tzu's cranial nerves don't want money, but?) οΌγ If you are not careful, you will be 'radiated infection' by the peripheral nerves of the Father, and even directly attach to the body. That's right, these peripheral nerves from the Father are what later generations will call them: ancient spirit runes.
Because of the different shapes, in order to facilitate differentiation and memory, the ancestors used ancient spirit runes. Engraved on animal bones and bronzes. It became an inscription that later generations saw. The reason why these ancient and mysterious patterns have lost their magical effect is because it is as if radiation has a half-life. The peripheral nerves of God the Father have also been diluted and worn out over time. So the divine power is not there. Naturally, the runes became symbols and imprints with only symbolic meanings.
Of course, this is all Wu Chen's imagination (it is so world-class).
Whether this is the case or not, there is no way to test.
As mentioned earlier, divinity is divided into human and animal nature. Whether it is Nuwa's deliberate division. Or natural differentiation, in the final analysis, human nature and animal nature both come from Pangu. Thus, the fusion between them is possible. This is the first reason why people will be infected with demonization after eating demon beast meat.
You can drink with a clay mustache. There is only one Wu Chen in the entire cave hall. The rest of the drinkers share a hΓ© (pottery pot) with several people, which is warmed and drunk in small sips. After all, they can only drink three bowls a day.
Anyway, the people who come only drink and don't eat. Whether the hostess is there or not, these people will not care. No one paid attention to the lack of a hostess (would Lao Tzu think about those snapping things?). οΌγ Wu Chen finished drinking, said hello to the boss, and quietly walked out of the cave hall. Get ready to visit the Cliff City.
The entire city is built around a crater in the crater, carved into the walls.
There is a wide circular stone path flanked by caves where people live. Doors, windows, and corridors were also opened to let in the light of magma and fire. If he hadn't known in advance that this was an ascetic city, Wu Chen would have been confused by a peaceful atmosphere.
The ancestors were generally powerful and powerful, and there were many colorful tattoos on their bodies. Obviously, these tattoos and future tattoos are completely different concepts. Because Wu Chen had already felt the terrifying energy from the tattoo.
These are all ancient sigils spread out of the ancient spirit runes. The Engraving is made up of arcane circuits, representing a terrifying divine power from the Father God Pangu.
The combat power of these people is very impressive.
If you can recruit it......
Isn't there some jumper? Shaking his head, he drove away divergent thoughts. When I looked up, I saw a majestic stone sculpture of a woman. I found the plaque of 'Coming to the Cave' from the grotto behind the stone carving, and then I looked at it, and it seemed to be a ready-to-wear store.
Facing the stone wall of the entrance, the cave is carved with a statue of a goddess. The shape of the entire cliff statue is like a solemn and solemn shrine.
In this era, sericulture has not yet appeared. The ancestors mostly wore sackcloth. There are also people like Wu Chen who are dressed in fur hunting clothes, and most of them belong to the category of vulgar barbarians (Wu Chen: ...... οΌγ Different from the ramie in Wu Chen's impression, the stone walls on both sides of the cave are crawling with vines. Judging from the vines stained in a pool of clear water in the hall, the material for weaving linen cloth is these blue-black and glowing vines.
"Clothes?" The sound comes from behind. Wu Chen turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful girl, sticking out her head from the window sill made of hewn walls. Outside the window is the crater, what is she climbing out for?
"Well, make clothes." Wu Chen hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull her, but the girl flew up. Grabbing a vine, he jumped into the cavern.
Wu Chen stretched out his head to look. No wonder, vines grow on the inner walls of the crater. Layers of volcanic rock walls are entrenched, dense and endless. The vines that enter the cave hall from the cloisters and windows are only a few.
"You're new here, aren't you?" The girl put down the basket and took a hemp rope from her waist for Wu Chen to measure.
"Hmm." Wu Chen nodded and followed the girl's request. Stretch out your arms. "What are these vines called?"
"Stone Fire Vine."
"Where does it lead?" Wu Chen asked with a seemingly casual smile.
"Leads to ......," the girl subconsciously stopped, "why should I tell you." β
Wu Chen lowered his voice and said, "Is it leading to the next layer?" β
The girl hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth. After a long time, after making sure that no one was passing by outside the door, the girl's eyes rolled wildly, and then she stared at Wu Chen again: "How do you know?" β
"I smell meat." Wu Chen gently stretched out his hand and wiped off the remaining oil stains on the corners of the girl's mouth. "I've heard that the crater is heavily fortified and can't communicate with each other, but there must be some hidden passages that can lead to the next level, right? Because the next layer does not appetite. So you can come back when you're full of food and drink. β
The "......" girl's constantly changing expression was obviously guessed by Wu Chen.
"Alright, alright, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Wu Chen smiled: "How can I go to the next floor?" β
"Actually, I can't go to the next floor." The girl told the truth: "The stone fire vine can only hang down to the border of the second layer. However, there was so much food on the second floor that those people threw it away when they couldn't finish it. Throw into the volcano. Some of the food happened to get tangled in the vines and I picked it up and ate it. β
"Huh?" Wu Chen was stunned: "Since that's the case." Why aren't you demonized? "If the cliff city is the first layer, what is forbidden is appetite. She ate the food on the first layer, why wasn't she demonized?
"Food." Wu Chen suddenly woke up.
The demonization disease is because he ate the flesh of ancient demon beasts. For example, Wu Chen's Kui beef. However, if it weren't for the meat of the ancient demon beast, it would be non-poisonous if you eat it! Wait, in that case, why do you want to imprison these ancestors layer by layer?
When the ancestors of the first layer go to the second layer, don't they need to abstain?
There are many thoughts. A flash of inspiration struck.
"Collect!" Wu Chen blurted out.
"The master is saying that this Yushan ghost mother collects greed through layers of imprisonment?" Murong Kai also understood.
"Exactly." The more Wu Chen thought about it, the clearer it became: "Every layer of the imprisoned city is actually a container. Or simply call it a pocket. When the pockets are silted. The greed that can't be dissolved, when it accumulates to a certain extent, the ghost mother will devour all these greeds! And when the container of her own body can't fit it, she will use the method of giving birth to expel greed from her body! β
"So, it's the ghost mother herself who is greedy." Chu Qiushen sighed: "I really thought she was a Holy Mother who saved people from danger." β
"How do I get to the next floor?" Wu Chen suddenly asked.
The girl, who was busy remeasuring him, shook her head: "No one knows. Perhaps, the person who sent you here knows. β
"Ghost!" Wu Chen suddenly woke up. How to forget it. By the way, this guy will appear in the crater, it seems that he is just trying to bring people in! And the original meaning of the ghost is not to be eaten by the tiger, but to become the servant of the tiger, luring others to be eaten by the tiger!
Intriguing.
Isn't this crater also a dangerous 'tiger's mouth'?
"When he led me down, he was eaten by a flying tiger." Wu Chen gestured and said.
"Flying Tiger?" The girl obviously knew: "The divine beast that guards the cliff city." His name is Qiqi. β
Poor!
One of the four murderers!
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Qiqi looks like a tiger, the size of a cow, has wings on its back, likes to devour people, and will start eating from people's heads, an ancient beast!
There are also records in ancient books of snow-white hair and two pale golden dragon horns on the forehead. It is said that when Qi Qi sees someone fighting, he will eat the righteous and reasonable side; When you hear that someone is loyal and honest, you go and bite off that person's nose; I heard that if someone does evil, he will hunt and kill wild beasts for gifts.
Everywhere leads to evil.
An ancient beast!
The one who guards Cliff City is one of the four murderers, Qiqi!
Needless to say, according to previous experience, only by killing this fierce beast could Wu Chen go to the next level. Otherwise, you will be like a ghost, and you will be swallowed alive by the poor! And it's eating from scratch!
"How can I meet Qiqi?" Wu Chen asked again.
"......" The girl raised her head in surprise: "Everyone is scared, but you want to see it?" β
"yes, I'd like to meet it." Wu Chen smiled harmlessly. (To be continued.) )
