Chapter 14, Holy Water Gate
What kind of scene is there in the Holy Water Gate? Jiang Xiaoyu was very curious and looking forward to it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The stone old man's mouth moved, and the wishful orb emitted a green light, forming a light gate.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood outside the light door and looked inside, it was pitch black inside, and there was a tiny bright spot in the center of the pitch black.
The old man smiled slightly, pointed to the tiny point of light, and said, "Young man, that is the holy water pool, where we are going. ”
With his hands folded, the old man in stone muttered a few words, and a shiny tooth boat about seven feet long and more than two feet wide appeared in front of them.
He jumped lightly, got into the bare boat, and said, "That place is surrounded by a void of nothingness, and we can't reach it without the ship of time." Come up, come up and we'll go." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the ship of time that was taller than himself, and was very embarrassed, the old man Shi was a god, and he jumped up with a light jump, but he was a mortal, and he could jump so high.
He jumped up with all his strength, less than three feet off the ground, far from the ground.
When the black loach saw him jump, he also learned to jump, and when he counted the height, he jumped a foot higher than him, but he still couldn't jump.
The old man stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "I'm an old fool, I forgot that you are mortals in the flesh, I'll help you!"
After saying that, he waved his hands up slightly, and Jiang Xiaoyu felt a great force dragging his body and pulled him towards the boat.
After the old man took Jiang Xiaoyu and the black loach onto the boat, he said, "Let's go!" The ship of time slowly entered the light gate.
As soon as the ship of time entered the light gate, it suddenly sped up, Jiang Xiaoyu's body fell backwards involuntarily, and at the critical moment when he was about to fall into the darkness, the old man Shi pulled him.
After the old man waited for him to stabilize, he said, "Young man, you better sit down." Your face is pale, and the ship of time is now like an arrow from the string, and I am afraid that you will not be able to stand steadily, and I will be frightened. You see the black dogs are lying in the boat. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu did choke enough just now, but now that the ship of time is stable, although the speed is fast, it is not enough to scare him, so he does not sit down, and still stands on the boat.
Looking around, there was a dark silence, and there was a very familiar feeling, which was a little unfamiliar, but very realistic.
This feeling is like sailing in the sea, the ship of time is a flat boat in the ocean, the difference is that the boat on the sea, you need to chop the waves, and the driving is much slower, and the ship of time flies very fast here.
The ship of time has been traveling for a long time, and the holy water altar in front of it is still the same size as the one in front of the light gate.
Jiang Xiaoyu was very surprised, so he asked the old man stone: "Old man stone, the ship of time is flying so fast, and it has been flying for a long time, why does it look like it hasn't moved, what kind of place is this? I think it's much bigger than the sea in our village." ”
The old man laughed and said, "Young man, compared to here, the sea in front of your village is like a grain of rice in a cauldron, and it is 80,000 miles long and wide. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu snapped his tongue and said, "Eighty thousand miles, isn't that the end of the sky, old man Shi, when will we be there?"
The old man said: "Young man, you are laughing, where is the end of the world so good? I can't reach it for ten or eighty thousand miles! Don't be impatient, we'll be there later." Have you ever heard of such a phrase? 'The end of the world' means that what seems far away is not as far away as we think, and besides, we are not 80,000 miles away from the Deep Water Tan, and 80,000 miles is the size of this void realm. ”
When Jiang Xiaoyu heard him say this, he was not so worried, and said: "Old Man Shi, do you know where this 'Void Void Realm' is, whether it is in the sky or underground, I think it is underground, otherwise how could I reach out and not see my five fingers, it is like being in an altar that has been sealed." ”
The old man said with a smile: "Young man, don't look at me as an immortal, from heaven, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, this place, I don't know where it is, there are many places, not only have I not been there, I have not even heard of it, such as the Lingshui Gate, not you said, I don't know what it looks like inside, even in the heaven where I think I am, I have not been to every place." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Old Man Shi, are you telling the truth? Innocence is so big, and you have never been to so many places for a heavenly immortal?"
The old man glared at him, and said: "Look at what you said, you have called me an old liar, why am I lying to you, there is a sky outside the sky, didn't you ask me yourself? Where did the Pangu gods come from? Everything in heaven and earth is inseparable from the life of the father? Who do you say is the father and mother of the great god Pangu, and who is the father and mother of his father? In the vast universe, whether it is a man or a god, it is just a speck of dust. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Old man Shi, it's me who is too talkative, don't take it to heart, the 'universe' you said, what the big truth, although I don't understand, but I think what you said is right, you are a fairy." My father and mother said that the gods in the sky are all good, and mortals can only survive if they are blessed by the gods. ”
The old man looked at him deeply and said: "Young man, whether it is in the sky, on the earth, or underground, there are good things there, and there are bad things there, just like the yin and yang of heaven and earth, they always appear in pairs, and what is needed is the harmony of yin and yang, so that all things can survive and grow." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu asked: "Old man Shi, you said that between heaven and earth, what is 'yin' and what is 'yang'? What is the harmony of yin and yang? Why can all things grow when yin and yang are harmonized?"
Because the old man has not spoken for nearly a thousand years, he can't speak freely like this when he is in heaven, and as soon as the conversation box is opened, he can't hold it.
When he saw Jiang Xiaoyu asking, he said happily: " Young man, let me give you an analogy, in the big senses, the universe is yin, the sky is yin, the earth is yin, the sun is yang, the moon is yin, in small terms, there are many more, for example, people are divided into men and women, men are yang, women are yin, for example, in the case of fish in the sea, there are also yin and yang, male is yang, female is yin, put on other living creatures, the same is the same, male is yang, female is yin, and then take the inanimate thing, for example, the fire that you mortals use to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables, it is yang, and the water that washes rice and vegetables is yin; as for this harmony of yin and yang, you can survive, let me give an analogy, only men and women are combinedYou have never seen a combination of a man and a man who can give birth to a child, and neither can a woman and a woman. It is also true that it is placed on all things. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Old man Shi, I have a question for you, you said that the combination of yin and yang can give birth to all things, so the combination of water and fire, if the fire is big, the water is gone, if the water is big, the fire is gone, and it can't give birth to all things, what does this say?"
He smiled and said, "Young man, you said that you are wrong, it is precisely in this way that all things can be generated, think about it, in a raging fire, can there be living things? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Old man Shi, you are wrong, the sea is full of water and no fire, don't big and small fish live well?"
The old man said with a smile: "Young man, I am not wrong, in fact, there is fire in the sea, and it is the thickest fire in heaven and earth, you saw it but did not think of it. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said strangely: "Old man Shi, how is that possible, if there was a fire in the sea, it would have been extinguished by the seawater a long time ago." ”
The old man said: "All you think about is fire, the fire in the sky, you didn't expect that the seaweed in the sea can't grow if it doesn't get sunlight, so the small fish that live by eating seaweed can't survive, and if there are no small fish in the sea, the big fish that live on small fish can't survive." Therefore, there is fire in the sea, and the sun in the sky is the source of fire. If you think about it, isn't that the truth? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Old man Shi, you are right, I forgot the sun, I only thought about the fire burning on the ground, so what is the matter with the combination of men and women, and then having a small life?"
The question he asked seemed very ordinary, and it really stumped the old man stone.
The old man Shi has been an immortal since he was a child, living in the heavenly realm, for thousands of years, he has not been married, and he has never eaten fireworks in the world, and he has not seen the actual situation of the union between men and women, and it is not easy to tell lies.
Therefore, the old man stroked his beard for a long time before he continued: "This problem needs to be very complicated, and it needs to start from the fact that all living beings on the earth are divided into several categories, this human being alone is very complicated, how is this human being combined, I will tell you later, we have arrived, it is important to do the right thing first." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu came to his senses, the boat of time slowly stopped, the old man Shi had already left the boat and went to the holy water altar, and the black loach also followed.
Jiang Xiaoyu stood on the boat and carefully looked at the Holy Water Altar, its size was about the same size as the island in the Seven Star Island.
In addition, there were black stones and green trees on that island, but this altar was bare and grassy, and there was no light on the island, but it could be seen, which was also what he did not understand.
Seeing that the old man was urging on the shore, Jiang Xiaoyu left the boat, went to the altar, and came to the altar.
He squatted down and touched the ground with his hand, and there was a warm feeling, not like it was made of clay, not like it was made of ordinary stone, nor like it was made of black stone.
What could it be made of? He knew and could imagine everything, but he still didn't expect it, and when he looked up, he saw that the old man had already walked away, so he quickly got up and chased after him.
