Volume VII, Chapter 143, The Age of Human Civilization
After Zhang Guo heard this, he couldn't hide his disappointment, but his emotions came and went quickly. Spread out his hands and quipped: "Yes, I'm a bad old man, I haven't gained faith for a long time, when I was still an immortal, the world passed my jade dragon into a donkey, I am an old donkey fairy." ”
Xiao Jiang turned around and said, "Elder Zhang Guo, call your dragon over, it's too slow to fly like this." ”
Fang Tianmu got up and wanted to catch the three of them and fly forward, Xiao Jiang was startled, and stopped him three times in a row, but he didn't have time, but Fang Tianmu floated in the air unharmed.
"Huh?" Zhang Guolao observed Fang Tianmu's body, "You are also an immortal?" Which way is it? ”
Before Fang Tianmu could reply, he immediately fell back on the back of the snow deer, he realized that there was a fault between himself and the energy of nature here, if he was in the human world, he could rely on his ability to continuously absorb and transform the energy of the natural world, but here, the natural energy was too primitive and heavy, and his ability could not transform it into his body, and the natural energy here was essentially different from the natural energy of the human world, he could only consume his own stored energy, but after the energy was exhausted, he could not replenish energy from nature, and could only eat through this channel, But what was here, like the grape, was full of natural powers, and if he ate it, it could be worse, so he had to keep his strength in case he needed it.
Zhang Guolao was puzzled: "It's strange, you are not an immortal, why can you fly?" In Zhang Guolao's cognition, there seems to be no concept of cultivation, Fang Tianmu also figured out that the era of human civilization is an era of non-cultivation that belongs to the human race, so the gods or immortals here are actually not immortals in the real sense.
The crystal dragon pulled the car and flew over, much bigger than everyone expected, everyone sat in the car, after the crystal dragon flew, the push back was full, but the wind did not appear in the car, everyone only felt that the pictures were gliding around them, and there was no sense of shuttle in it.
The speed of the dragon car is a hundred times that of the snow deer, and it has bypassed Wufeng Mountain in a single smoke.
Zhang Guo didn't give up, and asked why Fang Tianmu could fly, could it be that there is a new divine realm in the world, and their Fang Immortal City has been forgotten and abandoned?
After Wufeng Mountain, there is Han Xiangzi's unruly cliff, after the unruly cliff, there is a big fault in the natural energy, as if the world on that side is more ancient, the right side of the unruly cliff is Zhong Liquan's cloud house, and on the left is the yin and yang version of Uncle Cao Guo, which seems to be the god's residence of the immortals, or a fief.
Xue Zhongqiao looked at the scene above her head and was fascinated, Fang Tianmu followed her gaze and looked up, and found that a moon palace appeared in the sky at some point, Xiao Jiang said: "Sister Chang'e lives above, but she is indifferent to the world and never comes into contact with the immortals below. ”
Zhang Guolao said: "She doesn't dare to come down, you see." "An arrow suddenly shot out from the side of the sky, directly penetrating the Moon Palace, and a large number of stone bodies of the Moon Palace were peeled off, and after that, it began to recover slowly. Zhang Guolao continued: "This woman, without going through calamity and cultivation, his husband Hou Yi shot down the barefoot fairy toad, the toad had a fairy berry in his mouth, Hou Yi returned home, and after he finished explaining the aftermath, he ate the fairy fruit and became an immortal, but his mother Chang'e stole the fairy fruit, ascended to the immortal on the ground, and came here. The Jade Emperor was furious about this matter, and belittled the barefoot fairy out of the fairy city and became a wanderer, in order to punish Chang'e, he brought Hou Yi to this fairy world, and told him when to shoot Chang'e to death, and allowed him to become an immortal, look, he has been shooting until now. ”
Fang Tianmu was very interested in the Jade Emperor in his mouth, and asked, "Jade Emperor, where is you now?" He believes that this so-called Jade Emperor should be a god in the true sense of the word in the era of human civilization.
Zhang Guolao sighed and said: "We little immortals, where do we have the qualifications to see the Jade Emperor, and he has not come forward until now. ”
"Then where did you know about the Jade Emperor in your mouth?"
Zhang Guolao was stunned for a moment, and recalled: "It is said that all immortals have a head, called the Jade Emperor, and we all came from people who ascended to immortals, so I think so." ”
Xiao Jiang shouted at Xiao Bai and drove the jade dragon to fly forward.
"Slow!" Zhang Guolao stopped her, grabbed Fang Tianmu's shoulder and asked, "Tell me young man, why are you able to fly, are you an immortal in the world now?" ”
Fang Tianmu replied no, and at the same time asked Zhang Guolao, what is the Li Zhi Realm, Zhang Guo Lao pointed to the front and said: "That is the Li Zhi Realm, we little immortals can't enter, and we have to practice for hundreds of millions of years." ”
"And where is this?" Zhou Xiqin asked.
Zhang Guolao said: "Penglai, this is Penglai Immortal Realm. At the beginning of the chaos, the earth is just a square piece, the Jade Emperor holds the four sides of the sky, like a cloth bag, covered outside the earth, became a ball, the so-called heaven is round place, it is so, the four sides of the sky each cross a point, a total of four points, respectively, East Penglai, West Kunlun, South Zhu, North Zhaoyuan. That is, under the Heavenly Palace, the four immortal realms, and the lowest immortal realm, you see that Li Zhi realm, it should be the upper layer. Only by accepting the faith will we have immortal power, and every time the faith accumulates to a certain extent, we can fly out of the Penglai realm, go to the world to bring blessings, accept worship, and after the immortal power is used up, we will return to the fairyland, waiting for the next opportunity to accumulate faith. ”
"It's a pity," Zhang Guolao continued, "Two thousand years ago, mankind's belief in the gods began to weaken, and they discovered what to call it." Science's things, they rely on that thing, and actually completed what the immortals can do, the use and control of nature, so that more people don't believe in us anymore, they even say that the earth is not square, but round, three thousand years, human beings go to the heavens and the earth, omnipotent, and even fly to the outer universe, to the heavenly god realm where the Jade Emperor is located, to this point, the Jade Emperor still did not come forward, alas, the immortals.... I can't get out of the fairy world anymore. ”
Fang Tianmu remembered that when he was in the Heavenly Palace with Mu Ziyun, he had such a guess, outside the era, there was a "hand", which was creating an ideal world, perhaps it was disappointed in the previous era, and it created a civilized era with only human beings and no way of cultivation. But it did not expect that human beings have terrible creativity and infinite possibilities, relying on themselves, to complete the use of nature, and gradually become the master of the civilized era, the Jade Emperor who has never appeared may be the "hand", why did it not choose to change this situation, but acquiesced in the decline of the "immortal", probably surprised and satisfied with the results of the human being able to control the era by itself, so it removed the influence of the "immortal".
Unexpectedly, humanity finally destroyed itself.
Xue Zhongqiao asked, "Three thousand years ago, no one believed in immortals?" ”
"No," Zhang Guolao said, "We have weakened from immortals to culture, human beings have recorded us in the story, as the memory and symbol of the nation, human beings, themselves are still weak, when disasters and diseases come, they will eventually have faith, when there is a desire, they will also ask God to worship immortals, and our eight immortals, was enshrined in a small coastal city with the same name Penglai, people did not come to worship us with special desires, but we regarded it as a cultural thing, so, the next thousands of years, The beliefs that our eight immortals have obtained are all very few, and there is no chance to go to the human world again. ”
"Is there no immortal who can still save enough faith?" Xue Zhongqiao said curiously.
Zhang Guolao said angrily: "Of course there is, God of Wealth, Yue Lao, the faith obtained by the two of them has risen instead of falling, and they have become frequent visitors in the world. ”
"And then?" Zhou Xiqin actually expected the ending in her heart.
Zhang Guolao said: "Seven thousand years ago, human beings launched a war, and they, in fact, have been peaceful for two thousand years, when the war started, we saw the scene of the world, because at that time, suddenly there are countless beliefs poured into our bodies, no matter which immortal, have been begged and called, human beings finally lost in their own conceit and ambition, in three days, human civilization returned to the primitive era, when they were dying, they finally surrendered to nature, and began to cry for the blessing of the gods, I saw the world, it was a dream that I still feel scared and shocked, and then, we never went out again, and we have been staying in the Penglai realm, how is the world now. ”
Everyone didn't know how to answer this matter, in Zhang Guolao's cognition, the world is just the world, he didn't know that pigs and dogs could go to the sky and escape to the earth, let alone that a cultivator could move mountains and seas with a wave of his hand...
Fang Tianmu expressed his heart and said: "It has long been changed, it is useless to tell you, you can't understand that the era of human civilization is the most failed era, it has only existed for seven thousand years." ”
"Child, you didn't live in that era, it... It may not be as rich or wonderful as you are now, but.... The days when human beings are in control of their own destiny are happy, and the little people, who are always fighting, have countless thoughts in their minds, and a bowl of rice can bend them, but their shoulders can still support a country, a sky, I have not seen your time, but I believe that no era can compare with the freedom and strength of human beings in this era. ”
Xiao Jiang was a little anxious, and urged: "Don't say it, I'm going to go to the front to find Xiaobai." ”
"Xiaobai hasn't come back."
"Hey, he didn't show up here with you..."
"Oh, yes, too... I forgot. ”
