Chapter 429: Tengu Eats the Moon

Under normal circumstances, the stone wall is opaque, and only the cyan surface can be seen, but at this moment, a vast and boundless world appeared behind the old monk.

Lin Xuan couldn't describe what he saw in words, he could only approximate the world to a transparent ice crystal, but inside the ice crystal there were countless suspended objects of different shapes, including huge objects similar to spaceships, individual individuals like astronauts in white spacesuits, and red objects like seemingly blazing meteor fireballs. In the background of a qiē object is a dark blue canopy, the color of the cosmic starry sky, which usually appears in the set of films taken after astronauts move away from Earth.

"What's that?" Lin Xuan couldn't explain, just subconsciously muttered to himself.

"That's the world I'm guarding against." The old monk replied in a low voice.

Lin Xuan couldn't get the answer he wanted from this simple answer, he took a deep breath and let himself stand more firmly.

The blue world made him dizzy, as if he was about to stumble into the world if he looked at it for a while.

"Kill him, kill him!" The cultivators clamored.

"Now, this qiē is going to be handed over to you, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe more and more that you are the real Dongfang Zhizi, a great man who recreates an era and opens up the world. In this world, the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high, the good deeds are one mile, and the evil runs through a thousand searches, with my wisdom, I can no longer solve this huge contradiction, only you...... Only you ......" a relieved smile appeared on the old monk's face.

Lin Xuan knew that the other party had entered the dying moment of returning to the light.

"You haven't told me what is going to happen here - who are we? What the hell are we fighting for? Where exactly did this come from? Lin Xuan roared anxiously.

For a moment, he felt like a recruit who had been forcibly pushed into battle, and although he had a gun in his hand, he didn't know which direction to charge. The shape on the battlefield is getting more and more severe, and if you waste time, you will make a big mistake.

"We are the guardians of the earth, and a qiē practitioner is not for the sake of self-wealth and glory, but to dedicate his body and mind to the gods and Buddhas and the general public. The reason why I have gone on a killing spree with them today is because in my eyes, they are no longer cultivators, but beasts who only care about their own desires. Remember, humans can't be friends with wild beasts, and hunting the same kind of people as a last resort can solve the problem. The old monk replied in a deep voice.

The appearance of the old monk gradually reached the appearance of his early twenties, all the wrinkles on his face were smoothed, and his eyes also had youthful vitality.

"How wonderful, this beautiful world, my body is awakened again. How nice it would be if life could start all over again, not from a hundred to one, but from one to a hundred. The old monk sighed happily and desperately.

At the end of the light is the sudden death, which is the essence of all animals, and no genetic medicine can change it. Moreover, as the old monk said, the age of human beings grows from one to one hundred, which is in order; From one hundred to one, it is a backward order of degradation. One positive and one negative, the meaning represented is very different.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand again, wanting to touch the old monk.

He wanted to help the old monk stop this rapid decay process, but he couldn't do anything to deal with this unprecedented chaotic scene.

"Don't touch him." The black man's voice sounded behind Lin Xuan.

"He's going to die, is there a way to save him?" Lin Xuan asked.

"No, you can't save him, that's his life. When true death comes, not even heaven and earth, time, or visible light can escape. The mouth of death devours a qiē, including the whole of the world, both visible and invisible. The black man said.

"You mean black holes?" Lin Xuan asked.

"More terrifying than black holes, generally speaking, European and American scientists call them 'tengu', based on the ancient Chinese folk tale of 'tengu eating the moon'. In that story, the ignorant folk artist regards the 'Tengu Lunar Eclipse' as the most plausible explanation for the 'lunar eclipse', but never thinks about why the 'lunar eclipse' occurs. What is the 'tengu' in ancient mythology? Hehe, human beings always think that they know a lot of things, but on the contrary, what they think they know is exactly what they don't know, everyone stands on the bright side of knowledge, and completely ignores that knowledge also has a dark side. Any problem must be looked at in two parts, only looking at one side, listening to and believing, and it will only bury one qiē. The black man said.

Lin Xuan's wisdom was enough to understand what the black people were saying, because in many Japanese legends, the "tengu" functions like a "black hole" in modern cosmological theory, and it can devour a qiē in a rage, which is unmatched. To put it simply, "Tengu Eating the Moon" is equivalent to a strange celestial body similar to a "black hole" devouring the moon and then spitting it out.

In that process, the "tengu" is not a "dog", but an unknown celestial body.

In these mysterious cosmic phenomena, human imagination has been exhausted, and it is impossible to re-deduce the survival mode and activity laws of "tengu" with theories other than "black holes".

In fact, the people of the earth have not given up thinking about "tengu eating the moon".

In 2283 BC, Mesopotamia already had the world's earliest record of a lunar eclipse, followed by the Chinese record of a lunar eclipse in 1136 BC. Ancient Chinese and African folklore believed that a lunar eclipse was a "heavenly dog swallowing the moon", and that gongs and drums had to be beaten to drive away the tengu. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng had already discovered part of the principle of lunar eclipses, he believed that the earth went to the front of the moon to block the sun's light - "the rush of the day, the light often does not match, and the earth is also hidden, which is called darkness, in the stars the stars are faint, and when the moon is in the moon, the lunar eclipse." ”

In the 4th century B.C., Aristotle inferred that the Earth's shadow was round as seen during a lunar eclipse and that the Earth was spherical. The ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus in the 3rd century BC and Ibaches in the 2nd century BC both proposed a lunar eclipse to determine the relative size of the sun, the earth, and the lunar system. Iba Valley also proposed to measure geographic longitude by observing lunar eclipses at the same time in two places far apart. In the 2nd century, Ptolemy used ancient records of lunar eclipses to study the movement of the moon, a method that continues to this day. Before the advent of rockets and artificial Earth satellites, scientists used to observe lunar eclipses to explore the Earth's atmospheric structure.

A lunar eclipse is something that can be proven by modern physics and materialist theories, but when we talk about a "lunar eclipse", we can't talk about it without mentioning "tengu". Because of the special geographical characteristics of the island, the Yamato people of Japan have made a very in-depth exploration of the mythical animal "Tengu".

In Japanese, there are two types of fetishes: Chinese-style tengu and Japanese-style tengu. Often, kanji also writes "tengu" as "mangubo", and is one of the most well-known yokai in Japan. The "tengu" recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a fox-like animal, and is called "tenhu" in Japan. In Japanese mythology, the tengu has a bright red face, a high nose, a bit like a gibbon, and holds a fan, and is very tall. It lives deep in the mountains, and it has the power to make humans feel terrible. At the same time, it has a pair of huge wings on its back, which can freely soar in the sky, attacking cultivators and demons and monsters like a flying eagle grabbing a rabbit.

The world-famous "Tengu-no-ji" is Japan's Kurama Temple, which is located in Kurama Honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Japan, and was founded in 770 A.D. by the famous monk Jianzhen Venerable Master Kanto, called Matsuo Mountain Kongo Life Temple, and later built a hall by Fujiwara Ise people in the fifteenth year of Enryaku, and then ordered Emperor Kanmu to build Garan on a large scale, and appeared in the Japanese history books "Pillow Grass" and "The Tale of Genji". However, it is a pity that Kurama-ji Temple has been repeatedly disturbed by mysterious fires in its long history, and the ancient books that recorded the whereabouts of the "tengu" in the temple have disappeared, and most of the buildings in the temple are now restored during the Showa period. The temple is famous all over the world for the legend of the tengu, and is revered as the temple that guards the onimon gate of the capital.

When Lin Xuan traveled in Japan, he visited Kurama Temple twice, and according to Japanese customs, he stayed at the Linxi Inn behind Kurama Temple.

It is said that practitioners of the Tao can see the tengu roaming around Kurama-ji Temple in the reflection of the stream at night, hunting evil spirits all night long.

To this day, Kurama-ji Temple in Japan still houses a statue of a tengu.
