Chapter 81: From the Remains to the Gap

Looking back at the origins of civilization, the past can be roughly divided into two stages: the Age of Legends and the Age of Letters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo what is the point of change in these two stages? Because there is the Book of Songs, the Book of Shang, the quotation of ancient history in the Three Legends of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Sima Qian's Historical Records, even the most conservative Han Confucianism will go back to the Xia Hou era - even the three emperors and the five emperors are convinced by the curious mind.

In the time and space that Zhang Lu crossed over, the era of letter history had regressed to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it was necessary to wait for the oracle bones of Yinxu to resign, before it could be pushed to the Zhongshang, which was all legends before, and there was no definite evidence - mainly the evidence of the text, scholars believe that before the Zhongshang, Chinese civilization had been produced, but because they could not find the words at that time, who dared to pat their chests and say that there must be Xia, or even the three generations of Yao Shunyu?

But this time and space is different, the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East became immortals more than 15,000 years ago, and the witnesses are still alive - although they are alive in another form - you can't say that they are not in the era of faith and history at that time. It's just that as far as Zhang Lu knows, there was basically no writing at that time, or there was no mature writing, and there were only some simple inscriptions. It's like these deeds he saw in the Gu Immortal Remains.

These simple depictions are not systematic, and they cannot be reversed from the language system of the time, just like when he asked An Qisheng about Gu Immortals, the other party said that there was no grammar in the Gu Immortal era, but there was a inheritance. Zhang Lu was confused at the time, since there is no grammar, just some symbols, how can the inheritance be passed on, and then it can be interpreted and deciphered by the immortals of later generations?

Now he finally understood that the depictions themselves were difficult to understand, and it seemed that they could not express anything, but as soon as he looked at them, infinite thoughts came into his mind. He couldn't help but think of a witty saying of Zen Buddhism in later generations: "Don't set up words, don't teach outside the teaching, point directly to people's hearts, and become a Buddha by seeing nature." ”

Each carving contains powerful and rich ideas, and the cultivation of the Gu Immortals is directly transmitted to the hearts of future generations - probably the reason why the Eastern Princes and the Western Queen Mother were able to restore part of the immortal Dao inheritance without a teacher is because of these ideas. Of course, they had to ascend to the Heavenly Realm before they could come into contact with the relics of the Gu Immortals here, and at the beginning of their cultivation, they probably came into contact with the relics of some earthly worlds.

There are not too many carvings on the cave wall, Zhang Lu has a rough glance, there are only twenty or thirty places, most of them are like the word "one" that he first saw, and there are simply one or two, and occasionally there are more than three carvings that are aggregated together, and there are only four at most. Each depiction is like an ancient book—or more accurately, a secret book of cultivation—but if you look closely, you can see the essence of it.

Of course, if a mortal came here, he would probably be directly overwhelmed by the surging thoughts, and it would be very difficult to get to the end. It's like taking a copy of "Advanced Algebra" to an ancient Confucian scholar, most of the words in it are recognizable, and they are completely inexplicable when connected, not to mention that there are so many mathematical symbols that you can't understand at all......

A word suddenly popped up in Zhang Lu's head - wordless heavenly book.

What is recorded in the wordless book of heaven is the method of cultivation, because Zhang Lu has achieved success in cultivation and has become an immortal, so he can understand one or two of them, so that he will not be at a loss and have no clue. But he is only a junior high school student who has just mastered elementary algebra, and it is not easy to read "Advanced Algebra" quickly. It is estimated that the relics of the Gu Immortals that the Eastern Princes and the Western Queen Mother came into contact with in the mortal world are just some elementary school arithmetic and junior high school elementary algebra content, and they will have to wait for Kunlun to finally open the pages of "Advanced Algebra".

Although Zhang Lu had just ascended to the Heavenly Realm, under the painstaking teaching and cultivation of Pei Xuanren, An Qisheng and others, he had a relatively solid foundation, and he was supplemented by the knowledge of later generations, so he was able to interpret the cultivation from a new perspective. Therefore, he estimated that he could read one-tenth of the remaining Kunlun relics, and the other immortals would be able to understand four-five tenths at most. No one can chew these inheritances thoroughly, so the Queen Mother of the West will firmly dominate Kunlun, and only give a pillar of incense time to figure it out at a time, and the immortals will line up to ask for a view.

In fact, if you gather a group of immortals and do research together, you may not be able to dig out more things. But when they came to this Tianfeng World, the two old immortals cherished their brooms and easily refused to show them—do you think that an immortal can come and watch it? Even the Jade Emperor and they only put it in once, and the other immortals can be imagined. Zhang Lu was still stained with the light that should be extinguished, so that he could come to see the time of a pillar of incense under the introduction of the Jade Emperor Zhang Jian.

There is also a second point, that is, the immortals lack the enterprising spirit, and feel that the heavenly world is free and easy, which is enough, so even the two masters did not see the heavens to come over to do research.

Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh, this Gu Immortal relic was obtained by this vote of this Immortal, it was really a pearl......

He carved the past one by one, and countless thoughts poured into his mind, but only one-tenth of what remained. Over time, if you think about it carefully, you may have something to gain, but at this moment, I'm afraid you can't understand it. As for the remaining eight or nine out of ten...... Unless he comes in and takes a look at it again after he has learned something, he can't save it at all, and he just passes through his head.

When all the carvings are finished, and then glance at the incense in his hand, there is not much left-the Queen Mother of the West is really pinching a little bit and letting people go, really hateful!

Among those thoughts, most of the relevant cultivations also had some images of Gu Immortals, which were similar to what Zhang Lu had seen in the remains of Tianzhu Mountain that day. But there is no part where the snake body giant god breaks through the sky to attract meteorites, and there are no large groups of dinosaurs fleeing around...... Liu Lei learned that trick, probably because of its unique origin, not in Kunlun.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Zhang Lu's tithe-twelve, not one-twelve, Liu Lei's get, according to the different endowments and qualities, different immortals should have their own different perceptions. Therefore, that trick was only learned by Liu Lei, and other immortals, even the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East, may not be able to use it.

Zhang Lu sighed lightly, and was about to turn around and leave-after all, it was someone else's thing, and it would be rare to promise to let you take a look, is it really not to leave? But at this time, the corner of his eye occasionally swept over a corner, and he caught a glimpse of a dent—

The surrounding stone walls are not flat, it may be naturally formed, or it may be chiseled by man, but I didn't think about leveling it, there are many potholes, there are many potholes. But this dent seems to be different, Zhang Lu thinks that this shape, why does it look a little familiar to me?

If you have doubts, then move over and observe closely. He was now clear-headed and sharp-minded, and he soon remembered what this dent looked like...... But at this moment, without the drive of no intention, the five orbs on his wrist suddenly scattered, and then they recondensed in front of him—that's right, that was the original shape of the five-colored stone obtained in the ruins of Tianzhu Mountain that day!

When he was stunned, the five orbs were combined again, restoring the shape of the five-colored stones in the past. Zhang Lugang shouted in his heart: "Don't be in the groove, I have only been refining it with great difficulty!" I saw the five-colored stone suddenly fly towards the dent, and then it was firmly inlaid into it. Immediately, an extremely clear image went straight through Zhang Lu's mind.

Zhang Lu was stupid on the spot.

The maid of the Queen Mother of the West, Jade Bird, waited outside the cave, estimating that the incense had burned out, and after a long time, Zhang Lu still did not come out. She couldn't help but feel a fire in her heart—sure enough, she was a new immortal who had just ascended to the sky, and she dared to disrespect the queen mother so much, and she didn't keep her promise!

Then she saw that the new immortal was not in the remains, but in the door of the remains, sitting on the ground, his eyes blank and his expression dazed, and the incense stick was inserted in the ground in front of him, and only a small piece of charred incense was left. The blue bird let out a long breath: Fortunately, this guy still understands the rules, probably shocked by the content of the ruins, so he sat at the door and was stunned.

is also stunned, if you are stunned in the ruins, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the queen mother in front of you, even if you are outside the door, the queen mother shouldn't blame it.

stepped forward to greet him twice, and Zhang Lu suddenly woke up, so he followed the blue bird to leave the road. Zhang Jian was still standing leaning on the giant car, and the Queen Mother of the West was by her side, quietly waiting for Zhang Lu to come out - the two immortals, who didn't seem to have anything to say.

As soon as she saw the blue bird's face, the Queen Mother of the West asked, "Where is the late return?" The blue bird quickly explained, saying that the newcomer was probably shocked by the content of the ruins, so he stayed at the door and was stunned - he should have stayed in the ruins for half a pillar of incense, and did not overtime. Zhang Lu also bowed down to apologize to the Queen Mother of the West.

Zhang Jian asked with a smile: "It seems like this, if you have something." "I've been there before, but I didn't react as much as you, you must have got some new information. Zhang Lu nodded, but then replied: "If you have gained, there is nothing to say." Zhang Jian didn't ask, but said: "Each has its own fate, and each has its own way." Then he asked, will you go back and digest it for a while, or will you come with me to meet the gap again?

Zhang Lu said that I had been thinking about it for a while just now - otherwise I wouldn't have delayed the time and forgot to come out in time - anyway, it is not a matter of a moment to digest what I have gained from the remains, let's go and see what the gap is like first.

Zhang Jian immediately said goodbye to the Queen Mother of the West, summoned Zhang Lu to get in the car and ride with him, and then went straight to the gap in the sky. Let's say that the heavenly world, the desolation and recklessness, has existed naturally since ancient times, or whether it was specially opened up by the Gu Immortals, no one knows. I only know that when the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East ascended to the sky, there was - if there is no sky, how can it be said to ascend to the sky? Later, the immortals used their magic power to open up a small world in which they lived, just like the original heavenly world was divided into many single rooms. However, these single rooms are still one in the concept of time, but they are independent in the concept of space, and there is no juxtaposition. As long as the immortals want to cross through any single room, it is a very simple thing - of course, the premise is that the owner of the single room allows you to enter.

According to Zhang Jian, there are more than 3,700 immortals in the heavenly world, and the number of open up worlds is basically the same - there are also two immortals such as the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East, but they are really rare - a total of 121 gaps in the sky have been discovered, the largest of which is in the stone clock world where Qiongshu lives - that is also the first place where the gap and the sky gap were first discovered.

When I got to the place, only half of the Stone Bell World remained, and the other half was in chaos, just like the situation in most of Zhang Lu's own small world. Zhang Jian said: "This is all destroyed." "It has always been easier to destroy than to build, although it has been eliminated from the invasion of this world, after all, the gap in the sky is still there, and there is no doubt when there will be overflow, so Qiong Shu adheres to the laziness of the immortals, and does not start the reconstruction work - if I just finish building and is destroyed again, isn't it useless to do it?

The so-called gap in the sky is in this chaos. Zhang Jian didn't dare to order the car to drive there—it took me time and effort to create these things, and if I was just in time for something to overflow and destroy one or two, it would be so frustrating—I walked with Zhang Lu and the two immortals alone. Zhang Lu looked at it and saw a huge gap in the chaos, like an erected human eye, and like a taut curtain that was naturally formed by a knife in it.

Although Zhang Lu did not deliberately change his appearance, but in different time and space, he really can't guarantee that he is in the sky, and in the mortal world, the size and length are exactly the same. Just according to its own unchanging premise to estimate the scale, this gap is about 30 zhang, which is higher than a 312-story building.

In fact, there is no difference between the inside and outside of the sky, it is a vast and chaotic sky, like a night sky without stars and moons, but the senses can naturally perceive the separation between inside and outside. Zhang Lu stood in front of this gap in the sky, and the image he had obtained after losing the five-colored stone in the Kunlun ruins just now resurfaced in his mind......
