Chapter 76: There Are Seven Yellow Flowers in the World
The cicada stands on the top of the mountain.
The mountain at his feet was mostly cracked.
"According to what Jackdaw said, there should be a piece of eternal cold jade and Chaotian Que at the bottom of the lake, but it is not mentioned that there is also a head. β
"Jackdaws don't necessarily know. Su Qi stared at the peak of the Changhe River, which was densely covered with complex formations, and the entangled aura obscured the mountain, "He was surprised when he saw Guanghan Palace. β
"There is demon blood in the demon valley, and there is the first demon relic, this head is likely to be the first demon's......"
Su Qi nodded, "I am afraid that there is only the first demon who can reincarnate into a demon spirit land after death, but its skull body still has such a powerful demon energy." β
Jian Cicada thought about it and frowned, "But such a big treasure, we can't take it out!"
Su Qi glanced at him, "I'm more curious about who put this head in the Guanghan Palace, if it's a sword immortal...... He had already won that battle, so why didn't he take Chaotianque? And if he didn't want people to get this head, wouldn't it be easy to destroy it with the means of a sword immortal? If he wanted to bury his opponent, no one would choose to throw his head in a river, right?"
"There is also a big problem with this river, it can corrode my Buddha's hand......" Jiancia looked up at the rushing river, "The Buddha's light is known as the inviolability of ten thousand laws." β
"The river flowed out of the mountain. β
Su Qi pointed to a mountain in the distance, it was the shortest one around, the top of the mountain was hollowed into a cave, like a volcano, and the river rushed out of the hole.
The cicada kicked a stone away, "Go over and have a look!"
As we approached, the sound of the river became more and more deafening, and the mountain was bare without trees or grass.
"This place has been breached!"
Su Qi looked at the edge of the cave, the stubble gap in the rock was sharp, "Someone made this δΈͺοΈ hole from the sky." β
"They went down from here. Jiancia pointed to a few footprints, looked at them again, and said, "It's not too high." β
"Go down and have a look. β
Jian Cicada grabbed Su Qi's arm and jumped down.
The wind was howling, and the two of them fell to the ground, surrounded by nothing but some gravel, and there was a cave in front of them, pitch black, from which the river meandered out.
"Somebody's hurt here. Su Qi pointed to a stone not far away, the blood on which had not yet dried up.
Jian Cicada got closer and sniffed, "It's from the human race, and there is no demonic energy." β
The two of them continued to walk, the cave was a little dim, but the river emitted a faint clear light, reflecting on the stone wall, a little cold.
After turning a corner, and walking another hundred and eighty steps, the ground was in disarray, with gravel, broken swords, blood, everywhere.
"Traces of the battle. Jian Cicada picked up a severed sword and gestured twice, "This sword is of good quality, it can be beaten like this, the other party is very strong." β
The sword array in Su Qiling's sea fluctuated slightly.
"There are still some remnants of sword intent. β
"What's that?" the cicada suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the riverbank in front of him.
Su Qi looked over and was stunned for a moment, there were seven small yellow flowers growing on the riverbank, which were crystal clear and transparent under the clear light of the river.
It was the first living creature they saw when they came down.
"That's a flower?"
The two of them were already a little allergic to flowers, and quickly retreated.
After waiting for a long time, Su Qi said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong......
His aura converged, "This flower has not yet become a demon." β
The two of them cautiously stepped forward.
The flower has seven petals, slender and long like willow leaves, with two lines in the middle, and the stamens are bright and delicate, without a trace of fragrance.
The cicada squatted down and reached for it.
"Don't move!"
Su Qi grabbed him, his face surprised, "I remembered what this was." β
"This is the flower of the world. β
"What?" Jian Cicada looked surprised, "In the world, there is a flower called that?"
"Yes, I always thought it was a legend," Su Qi circled around the yellow flower twice, "Seven petals, no fragrance and no taste...... This is indeed very similar to the human flower in the account. β
Su Qi explained, "This flower originated from a story, according to legend, there was a monk of the Taoist couple died unexpectedly, turned into a ghost into the underworld, he in order to save his Taoist couple, he took her corpse straight down to the nine springs, wanted to bring the soul of the Taoist companion back to the world, but was rejected by the Difu Prince, desperate, he returned to the world, when he planned to bury the Taoist couple, he accidentally found three yellow flowers on the mountain, he picked it off, put it into the mouth of the Taoist couple, unexpectedly, the woman was resurrected. β
Later, this flower was called the flower of the world, which means that even the ghosts of the underworld can be pulled back to the world. β
"Is there really an underworld?" Jian Cicada touched his head, looking suspicious.
"Probably not, just stories. Su Qi shook his head and looked at the cicada suspiciously, "...... Difu, don't you Buddhism also say this?"
"In Buddhism, it is hell, which is different from the underworld and the underworld in Taoism, and there are some Buddhist sects that do not believe in the existence of hell," Jian Chan pointed to himself, "For example, like me, I don't avoid eating and drinking, and I don't respect the precepts, if there is really hell, I guess I should go down." β
Su Qile is happy, this monk has no taboos for eating meat and drinking alcohol, and the prohibitions of Buddhism are afraid that most of them have been violated.
"According to what you say, this human flower can resurrect the dead, and we won't take it away?"
"These flowers of the world...... It's best not to pick it indiscriminately," Su Qi frowned, "I always feel that this flower is a little strange, the head of the heavenly demon is in this river, and the demonic spirit is prosperous, how can it give birth to a flower in the world?"
"Because it was planted by man. β
Su Qi and Jiancia quickly turned around, and the Qingzhi Sword was immediately unsheathed.
Behind him was a young man, ordinary-looking, very short, with a five-colored ball floating on his head, quite polite, saluting Su Qi and the others, with an apologetic face.
"I'm sorry for the sudden sound. β
"When did you follow us?" said Jiancida's tone was not good.
"I saw you when I was outside, but I was far away, I was a step too late, and I jumped down before I could greet you, but I was still fortunate enough to see your Buddha's hand, Zen Master, which was extremely powerful and opened my eyes. β
The boy spoke slowly.
Jiancia touched his bald head, his expression was soothed, and there was a hint of pride, "Of course!"
Su Qi frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"Wanfa Sect Chen Wanli. The young man touched his sleeve and took out a token to show Su Qi.
"You are Chen Wanli?" Su Qi had heard of this name, the Taoist genius of the Wanfa Sect, who entered the Divine Mind at a young age, although he had few achievements, but his reputation has always been spread outside.
The boy nodded.
"What do you mean by that?"
"This earthly flower does not really resurrect the dead, its function is to gather souls, in 10,000 years ago, it was actually called the soul gathering flower. β
Chen Wanli walked closer, squatted in front of the yellow flower, and stretched out his hand to caress the petals, "Although the Heavenly Demon is dead, someone has planted a human flower here, most likely to gather the soul of the Heavenly Demon." β
