Chapter 29: A Flower That Thinks It's a Cicada
Lord Chenghuang said: "All things are born in nature, and the law of pregnancy is the law." Some lives require a lifetime of effort to transcend the worldly and embark on the path of monasticism. β
"However, some beings are born with knowledge, and they are born with the ability to contact the laws of the Great Dao, and there are often great supernatural powers that are accompanied by the birth of the world."
"There is one thing in it, called the golden cicada, which is the pride of this kind of sky."
"However, the golden cicada also has a catastrophe in its fate, one catastrophe and one catastrophe. Some shed their shells, went through hardships, and became immortals. There are also those who failed to survive the tribulation of the avenue and fell. β
Xu Yuan thought thoughtfully: "So, it was a certain golden cicada that kidnapped those children?" β
Master Chenghuang ignored Xu Yuan and continued: "This kind of spiritual creature bred by heaven and earth is full of treasures, even the cicada shell that has been shed is a treasure of heaven and earth, whether it is alchemy or refining, everyone can't ask for it. β
"Of course, if the opportunity is enough, this cicada will also give birth to spirituality."
"There are many ways to do this, some of them are born of spirits of their own accord, and some of them are born of spirituality after being inhabited by others and taking over the nest of magpies."
"One of them is the spirituality of plants invading cicadas, inhabiting them, and being born. This thing is cultivated into refinement, and it is called a golden cicada flower! It has the body of a cicada, but on the head of the cicada it grows dense fungal bodies, like cordyceps. β
"When this flower is born with Lingzhi, it does not think of itself as a flower, but as a golden cicada. He absorbed the power of the cicada, and inherited some of the talent inheritance and supernatural powers left by the cicada, and was born extraordinary, but because he was just a flower, his potential was very limited. β
"It's okay if you don't see the road ahead, but the partial golden cicada flower can see the cultivation avenue, and it is only one step away from getting it, how can you make them willing?"
"In order to break through the limits of their own potential and truly turn into a golden cicada, they will do everything they can. The first step is to fill your flesh so that you are not what it seems. β
"But the golden cicada flower has very high requirements for the flesh, and it needs the softest and purest parts of the young creatures, such as ...... The pure heart of a boy and a girl! So...... Those children may have already ...... Killed! β
Rao is a fairy figure like Lord Chenghuang, and he has already gritted his teeth in the end.
There is no doubt that if the golden cicada flower can be found, the city god will definitely retaliate against the other party.
After all, those are all children under his rule, and they are all people who should be protected by him.
After hearing this, Xu Yuan trembled, only to feel that the golden cicada flower was really vicious.
"Where is it!" Xu Yuan's hands seemed to tremble.
Not fear, but anger.
Where are the flying stars?
Kill this demon to comfort the spirits of more than a dozen children in Zhoujia Village!
However, Lord Chenghuang did not answer.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "I can't find it." β
"What? Can...... You're a city god! Xu Yuan was incredulous.
But whatever happened in this area could escape Zhang Zhenren's spiritual sense, but it would definitely not be able to escape the Heaven and Earth Hearing of the City God.
Because he is a local city god who is sealed by heaven and earth and recognized by Daye, he has the natural power of heaven and earth.
Even if it was an existence like Zhang Zhenren, who was stronger than the City God's Dao, he could only set up a formation to isolate the City God's eavesdropping.
But it can't be so that the city god can't be noticed.
These are two fundamentally different states.
"Have you ever heard of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the three-star cave of the slanting moon?" Lord Chenghuang asked.
You also have Journey to the West here?
Xu Yuan almost blurted out, but fortunately he stabilized, he shook his head.
Lord Chenghuang said: "The most famous golden cicada in this world is said to have become an immortal, this is a famous sentence he left. Lingtai Fangcun Mountain refers to the Purple Mansion that stands in the sea of every monk's knowledge. And the three-star cave of the oblique moon is to say......"
"Wait, Lord Chenghuang, where is Zhihai?" Xu Yuan pointed to himself.
"Your cultivation is shallow, and after you build a foundation, the natural sea cave will be opened." Chenghuang Ye said, "The three-star cave of the slanting moon is the word 'heart'. It is intended to instruct the younger generations of monks, cultivate with their brains, and comprehend with their hearts. β
"However, there are other solutions to this sentence."
"For example, some short-sighted golden cicadas think that this is a hint that they are sucking people's brains and eating people's hearts, so as to improve their cultivation."
"But there are also people who have comprehended one of the golden cicadas' natural powers through this sentence, and thus opened up their own Fangcun Mountain and Sanxing Cave, which is known as the worldly cave and the boundless realm - mustard in the tree!"
"The mustard seeds in the tree are equivalent to opening up the void, and have the effect of storing and hiding. It needs to live in a certain grass and tree creature, but there is something but not really there, it seems to be true and false, like a dream, it is a great supernatural power. β
"Once you hide in the mustard seed in the tree, the heaven and the earth have no sense, although they are in this realm, they are as if they are not in this realm."
It's hard to find!
It's no wonder that even as a city god, he has never found any trace of the golden cicada flower in the past ten years.
Unless the other party takes the initiative to get out of the mustard seed in the tree, no one will find it!
β¦β¦
Call!
When he woke up from a dream, Xu Yuan's brows were already locked.
The situation is becoming more and more complicated.
There are more and more unsolvable problems.
It seems that it is no longer realistic to start from the perspective of the murderer of the child's disappearance case back then. The golden cicada flower that the city god couldn't find, and Xu Yuan couldn't find it.
Now we can only go back to the clue from the beginning.
Over thereβthe identity of the Drought Fish!
Although there is no clear relationship that indicates that the drought is related to the golden cicada flower, the monstrous resentment, coupled with the time and place of the formation of the drought fish.
Zhoujia Village!
Ten years ago!
More than a dozen missing children!
A drought with a grudge strong enough to disperse the clouds and rain!
Who's to say there's no connection?
Perhaps, if we solve the drought problem, we will also solve the natural and man-made disasters ten years ago?
"Travel." Xu Yuan opened his eyes and spoke, "The reason why you were able to escape ten years ago was because you were carrying the incense candle stick you took out of the City God Temple. With the protection of the city god, the demons dare not act recklessly. β
"That disaster has nothing to do with you, and you shouldn't bear the white eyes and abuse of the villagers for it. After this incident, you should go to the City God Temple to worship the City God, and tell the world about it, and the City God should be your master! β
Zhou You froze in place, his eyes red.
He immediately knelt down.
The same is true for traveling parents.
In their eyes, Xu Shenxian just slept for a while, but he seemed to have insight into everything. At the same time, it saved the traveling family.
The so-called "talk to the people of the world and listen to it, and the city god should be the master for you", isn't this just a return to the innocence of the traveling family.
He is not a disaster star, nor is he living in place of anyone's survival qualifications, it is the blessing of the city god that allows him to travel around and survive.
His life is a wonderful miracle, and he should not be blamed in any way, nor should his parents grovel and stand up for the rest of their lives for these false beliefs.
"Thank you Xu Shenxian, thank you City God!" Zhou You's father and mother cried bitterly, hugged Zhou You, and the family cried into tears.
At this moment, they saw a light.
A light called hope.
Looking at Xu Yuan's figure, Zhou You sighed from the bottom of his heart...... Such a person, who dares to say that he is not a living immortal?
