Chapter 15: The Past of the Dragon and the Hideous
Qinglong leaned back in his chair lightly, looked up at the sky through the wooden window, and fell into the memories of the past. "The origin of everything begins with the fact that mankind has not yet established civilization. ”
"At that time, it was called the Hongmeng era, the world was chaotic, and human beings were still like wild beasts. At that time, there was a sacred tree named Jianmu, which could lead to the Six Realms. So occasionally there are things that happen when things cross borders. There was a divine beast named Hideous that came from the divine realm to the human world. Fierce and ferocious. When no one in the world can cure it, it will run rampant and disturb the world. When the Bell Mountain Divine Candle Dragon passed by the world, he saw the beast that was doing evil in the world and subdued it. And take it back to Zhongshan and keep it with you like a pet. The beast stayed with the candle dragon for a long time. It was subtly affected by the candle dragon, and the anger on its body gradually disappeared and became docile. ”
"But one day, the candle dragon disappeared in Zhongshan, leaving the beast alone in Zhongshan. There have also been cases where candle dragons have gone out to parade and left the beasts to guard them. Therefore, he cleaned Zhongshan every day, looking forward to the return of the candle dragon. It climbs to the top of Zhongshan every day and looks into the distance, hoping to see the candle dragon returning. But it just watched so lonely, I don't know how many hundred years have passed. One day it finally couldn't take it anymore and began a journey alone in the Six Realms in search of the Candle Dragon. When it came to the world, it found that the world was different from what it used to be. Now the world is no longer chaotic, day and night are regular, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the four seasons are distinct. Human beings have evolved in this comfortable environment and have begun to have civilization. All thanks to Lord Fuxi and Lord Nuwa. They were originally brother and sister, but later married to reproduce humans. Lord Fuxi trained livestock, taught people to fish and hunt, and other merits are countless. He traveled through the Six Realms through Jianmu, painting what he saw and heard as a totem, which is a dragon that has been inherited in China for thousands of years. ”
When Fu Xi first saw the fox that was looking for the candle dragon, he felt that the divine beast in front of him had an unusual aura. There is not only the immortal energy that has been cultivated in Zhongshan for many years, but also the anger that it has not completely erased. When Fu Xi saw the lonely it wandering in the Six Realms and wandering in the human world, he was worried that if this divine beast couldn't find the candle dragon, it might run wild. If it endangers the world, it must be a catastrophe. And it is destined not to find the candle dragon, because the candle dragon has turned into day and night wind and rain and the sun in the sky in order to liberate the world from chaos. It is destined to be disappointed, and the day when it is completely disappointed may be the day when the hardest time in the world comes. Fu Xi wants to protect the human world that has just begun to develop, but Fu Xi is a human after all, his lifespan is limited, and he can't wait for the day when he goes wild to subdue it. Now he has no name in subduing him, and he is just a poor puppy looking for his master. On the day of Fu Xi's death, he looked at the dragon totem hanging on the bedside, and his heart was full of worry. He was afraid that the Chinese civilization that he and Nuwa had so hard founded would be destroyed, so he closed his eyes forever in deep worry. He did not choose reincarnation after his death, but returned to the place where he was born, Razor, in the form of what is now called a spirit body. Start your own cultivation in Razor. Slowly, he cultivated himself into the form of a dragon, possessing the power of a dragon. But he is a spirit body after all, and once he leaves Razor, his power without a physical body and without a source of energy will definitely weaken. At that time, if the vicious suddenly goes berserk, he will not be able to defeat it without Razor. So he chose to live in symbiosis with the later Yellow Emperor. Integrate with the essence of the Yellow Emperor, so that the Yellow Emperor has the power of Fu Xilong. He became a living spirit being. ”
"When he was in Zhongshan, he cleaned every day, and he didn't get rid of this habit when he wandered in the world, and he wanted to clean up wherever he saw evil in the world. But because of its terrible appearance, people thought it was malicious and tried their best to drive it away. He was very aggrieved and was attacked by people. Finally, it died alone in the grief of not being able to find the candle dragon and the misunderstanding of the people. It was only after its death that people slowly realized that the hideous had no malicious intentions, but they could no longer find it, because it had slowly turned into dry bones in a lonely corner. When they saw it again, people didn't recognize it because it had turned into a demon. The thoughts of the candle dragon and the resentment of people are fused with its essence to form the fierceness of the spiritual body. The hideous in the form of the spirit body is no longer the hideous that has been reformed in Zhongshan. Now the only thing that is fierce is the longing for the candle dragon and the resentment of people. Its mind began to become deformed, and it thought that it was it that had been subdued by the candle dragon because of its misdeeds in the world. Now, as long as it turns the world upside down, the candle dragon will probably appear to stop it. And so it did. ”
"I want to make the world miserable, who made them treat themselves like that at that time. However, at that time, there were various mysterious descendants of Fuxi Nuwa who used their mysterious power to stop the hideous, and it was a protracted and tragic war. Gradually, he found that he had no physical body as a support, and his strength slowly weakened. So it began to look more frantically for opportunities to slaughter civilians. After the death of a civilian, some strong thoughts or resentments will merge with the essence to form a spiritual body. The Hideous eats spirit bodies to maintain their strength and form. But if you want to fight people, you can't rely on it alone. So it traveled to the Six Realms through Jianmu, recruiting a large number of spiritual bodies and various divine beasts, and using them as weapons to crusade against people. It even gave the gluttony of the Soul Hatred Integration, who was fighting against humans, and found a divine beast as a physical body. ”
"Then why doesn't he forcibly occupy a physical body to make his power stronger. The dean asked puzzled.
"With the restraint of the flesh, it cannot exert its full strength. The relationship between the physical and spiritual bodies is mutually supportive and mutually restrictive. The spirit can strengthen and control the body, and the body can maintain the spirit. But the body restricts the spirit, and the spirit cannot allow the body to go against the laws of nature. At that time, it was extremely demanding power, and only if it was strong enough to conquer that group of spirit bodies, and only when it was strong enough could it accomplish everything it wanted to do. Besides, it can also sustain itself by consuming spirit bodies. ”
"Then in that case, how did you defeat it in the end?" the dean asked puzzledly, since the physical body can restrict the spirit, how can the human beings who have the physical body defeat the group of spiritual bodies.
"Don't worry, let me speak slowly. The elderly are slower, little kids. Qinglong said flatly.
Call me a little brat... It's been over forty years since someone last called me a little brat... But this monster who doesn't know how many thousand years of life is really qualified to call me that. The dean was a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, after all, they were right......
"Because it has recruited a lot of spirits, they will gradually lose their power, so it has sent out a war letter asking for a final battle. At that time, we originally wanted to wait for the strength of the spirits to weaken before crusading against them, but they were too brutal and massacred the people on a large scale. So there was the next battle in the Arctic. Now it is said to be the North Pole, but at that time it was actually the foot of Mt. Bell or the entrance to Mt. Bell. We rushed there for the last battle. It was also chosen to prevent the war from spreading to other living beings on earth. ”
At that time, the leader was the Yellow Emperor, who had the power of the dragon, and he led the strong men of the world and his own family to fight against the Hideous. Due to the limitations of the dragon's strength and the Yellow Emperor's physical body, the battle was still very close at the beginning, and the balance of victory was even a little biased in favor of the fierce side. After all, the climate there is just too harsh. ”
Later, the Yellow Emperor suddenly comprehended a move or method. He can release his spiritual power in a short period of time, and let the spiritual power surround the physical body, which is equivalent to putting a layer of spiritual armor on the physical body, making people become a quasi-spiritual body. In this way, there is not only the support of the human body as an energy source, but also a strong fight. It is a good balance between the mental and physical constraints. It's just that this method has a great loss of mental power, and the maintenance time is not very long. Having mastered this method, humanity began to go on the counteroffensive. The final battle has finally begun. The ordinary soldiers fought for a day and a night before all fell, some were seriously wounded, and some died of mental exhaustion. Their sacrifice was exchanged for the collapse of the spirits recruited by the Hideous. After all, such a strong battle consumes mental energy, and they have no energy source to replenish. Later, in order to survive, the spirits also began to kill each other and prey on each other. ”
"These are just mortal battles. In another place. We four divine beasts fought with the four fierce beasts for three days and three nights, and I was the only one who was still breathing and surviving. And the dragon and the monster fought for five days and five nights. The battle between spirit bodies that can last so long is already a battle between gods. In the end, because of the hard support of the Yellow Emperor's body, the dragon narrowly prevailed. But Long Zai didn't have the strength to collect the hideous essence fragments scattered in the air and seal them, so he had to let it float in the air at the foot of Zhong Mountain, in the North Pole. ”
"After the war, the Yellow Emperor used the Soul Binding Bottle to collect the essence of the Four Divine Beasts and the Four Fierce Beasts. The four fierce beasts were divided into three places to be sealed, and the three divine beasts possessed the animal flesh and guarded it in the sealed place. The reason why I wasn't allowed to guard the seal was because I was waiting for the dragon soul that kept reincarnating. ”
"Why don't you choose to take possession of someone else's body and live forever, just like you. The dean asked puzzledly, how many people want to live forever now! What kind of dragon has to participate in reincarnation, now it's okay. Become a little kid who doesn't know anything!
"Reincarnation is not for everyone. There is reincarnation in the human world, and there may not be other worlds. And is it really a good thing not to die? I don't think so. The monster could be resurrected at any time, and it would be difficult to win again without more power. And the essence is in reincarnation again and again, through the tribulations and frustrations in reincarnation, happiness and joy continue to become stronger. That's the strongest thing about people. ”
Not forgetting not to die is what ordinary people dream of. And what do you get when you're the only one who gets that power? It's an infinite number of times to fall in love with someone else and then the lover leaves you forever. Leave you who will not die, and you will remember it forever. Life is not reincarnated, then joy, anger and sorrow are reincarnated in your eternal life. It's okay to say that the most unbearable thing may be eternal loneliness.
"My mission is to wait for each generation that has the dragon soul so that they can practice well. Sometimes I won't be involved in his life and let him hone it, and sometimes I will take over and train him. This time, I chose to train the Dragon Soul because technology has developed rapidly in just one or two hundred years, which makes me feel uneasy. I'm afraid that someone will awaken the sealed beast through high technology and regenerate the scattered beast. So I took over this reincarnation, wanting to train a qualified warrior. ”
"Wait, wait, you want to raise a warrior!?Then how did he become like this!?" the dean couldn't help but complain.
"There was one thing I didn't expect. ”
"What didn't you expect?"
"The state has made compulsory education..."
