Chapter 181, the source of all sources
In a trance, the ground under everyone's feet stopped, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and a hazy light appeared in front of them, followed by a loud roar in their ears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first thought of everyone was the sound of the pillar wall collapsing, and Yao Chongzhong held the axe above his head to block the broken fragments of the pillar.
After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, there was no sound of the shards of the pillar hitting the axe, and no shards of the pillar were seen around.
The black loach cautiously poked out half of its head to look around, it looked around for a while, and said, "Brother Yao, the surrounding walls are still there, but they haven't arrived, but they don't look the same as before." ”
The wall is not there, but the loud sound is still there, this is a real sound, not an illusion, where did the sound come from?
Yao Chongzhong put away the axe and looked towards the source of the sound, immediately stunned.
The black loach exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! What a curtain of flowing water!"
The huge roar that everyone heard was from this great waterfall, and they were at the lower end of the waterfall, which was hundreds of feet high and surrounded by smooth and straight walls on all sides.
Yao Chongzhong took a closer look at these high walls, and they were not made of those pillars, but were made of some delicate and smooth objects, without a single bulge or recess on them.
After raising his head for a long time, his neck was a little sore, and the black loach shook his head, looked around at the high walls, and said, "Brother Yao, Xiao Yu'er, where did those high pillar walls go? These high walls don't look like they're made of pillars." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "Black loach, it seems that we are no longer in the underground realm, but in another place. Of course, you can't see the pillar walls. ”
The black loach smacked his lips and said, "Little fish, I heard you say this, we have reached the earth boundary, but this is not like the earth boundary, but the bottom of a flowing water curtain, and there is no door to be seen everywhere, nor is there a hole to be seen, and we fell from above?
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "This is not the lower realm of the underground realm, it is likely to be the junction of the lower realm of the earth realm and the lower realm of the underground realm. Black loach, have you forgotten? The lower realm of the underworld is the bottom, and the lower is the top, and the pillar walls seem to be piled up on top, but in fact we are going down. ”
The black loach was surprised: "Little Yu'er, you say this, we are in the lower realm of the lower realm of the underground realm, and there is still this place, isn't the underground realm the bottom of the three realms?"
Logically speaking, the lower realm of the underground realm is the lowest level of the three realms, in this way, everyone should be the junction of the lower realm of the earth realm and the lower realm of the underground realm, it really doesn't look like it here, Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, he couldn't understand, and he couldn't answer the words of the black loach.
Yao Chongzhong said: "At the beginning of chaos, there were no boundaries and boundlessness, and there were no three realms, so there was no up and down. Heaven and earth are the foundation of the three worlds, the heavenly one is clear, that is, the emptiness, which can accommodate the stars, the sun and the moon, so it is called the heavenly boundary; the earth, that is, the turbidity, that is, the solid, can accommodate the mountains, rocks, grass and trees, and is called the earth boundary; the remaining place, it is impossible to distinguish the turbidity, there is real in the air, there is emptiness, the real and the empty are intertwined, and the mixed air flows during the period, and it is listed as the underground realm. However, due to the fracture of the Heavenly Pillar, the Three Realms also collapsed into two, one is the Three Realms of Qingming and the other is the Three Realms of the Netherworld. ”
The black loach said: "Brother Yao, there is one thing I don't understand, that is, before the Pangu Ancient God opened the heavens and the earth, the heavens and the earth were originally chaotic, why are they divided into turbidity?
How to explain this to the black loach? Yao Chongzhong couldn't find a suitable word for a while, the turbidity was naturally separated, and it had long been contained in the chaos.
The question asked by the black loach, even if it was answered by the Pangu Ancient God, it might not be able to be answered, Yao Chongzhong's expression was a little tangled.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought of a good thing, compared with the beginning of chaos, very similar, he said: "Black loach, my idea is that unsplit chaos is like an egg, or a duck's egg, there are egg whites in it, there are egg yolks, it is born like that, if you say why it looks like that, you can only ask the hen or the duck, they may not know." ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's analogy is not very appropriate, but it is enough to solve Yao Chongzhong's embarrassment, the black loach did not bite the question, and then asked, where did that chaos come from? Where did the Pangu Ancient God come from?
The messy things should be put aside first, or the most important thing is to deal with the current affairs.
Yao Chongzhong said: "The things between heaven and earth are complicated and general, even if Xuantian Niangniang is here, she may not be able to explain it clearly, and the way is clear, let's put it first." Speaking of the Three Realms, up to now, in fact, it is only roughly divided; in the case of the Underground Realm, it is still divided into two, and the Earth Realm and the Heavenly Realm are the same, not a whole piece; or take the egg as an example, the current Three Realms are like broken egg shells, divided into many pieces. Having said all that, I mean, the place we are in now is probably still in the Nether Underworld. ”
The black loach said, "Brother Yao, are we going the wrong way? When we were in the Pillar Forest, we should have gone west, not into the Nine Pillar Forest. ”
Yao Chongzhong thought for a while, the words of the black loach were not unreasonable, the Nine Pillars Forest might not be a right path, he took out the Ruyi Orb and opened the gate of the Heavenly Realm, he wanted to go to the Heavenly Realm to inquire about the situation.
Half an hour passed, Yao Chongzhong came back from the Heavenly Realm, and the news he asked was that they had not gone the wrong way, there was no way to the west of the Pillar Forest, and if they went further west, they returned to the Underground Realm Boundary Ditch.
There was also a piece of news that surprised Jiang Xiaoyu and Black Loach, the towering curtain of flowing water in front of them called "The Source of Ten Thousand Sources", the origin of all the water sources between heaven and earth.
The rivers and lakes all come from here? Jiang Xiaoyu and the black loach couldn't help but take a look to see if the water here was the same as the water in the earth's boundary.
It looks the same roughly, Jiang Xiaoyu put his hand into the pool, picked up a touch of water, felt smooth and delicate, put it to his nose and smell it, it is slightly different from the seawater well water, there is no fishy saltiness, and there is no earthy smell.
I don't know how it tastes, Jiang Xiaoyu put the water to his mouth, he wanted to taste it, but before he could take a sip, there was a coughing sound next to him.
Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head to look, and the black loach's tongue stuck out of the elder, coughing and sneezing.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xiaoyu splashed the water in his hand and walked up to the black loach and asked.
The black loach took a few breaths and said, "It's not in the way, but it's a little uncomfortable to choke on the water." ”
"I won't grab water from you to drink," Jiang Xiaoyu teased: "You drink slowly, such a big pool of water is enough for you to drink." ”
The black loach said: "Little fish, it's not what you think, I just licked the water, and before I could drink it, I was choked." ”
"If you're in a hurry, you're in a hurry, it's not a big deal, I don't blame you," Jiang Xiaoyu stared at the black loach's face and said, this guy just likes to be poor, and just as he wanted to say more, he noticed that something was wrong.
The black loach doesn't have a single water stain on its mouth, even its hair and whiskers are dry, which is not right, even if it just licks the water, it should leave some water droplets.
Yao Chong looked at his hands again, they were also dry, there were no water stains at all, there was no wind here, and it was not a hot day, so the water stains would not dry so quickly.
Yao Chongzhong picked up a handful of water from the beginning, and then splashed it again, there was no water stain on his hands at all, and the water in the pool did not touch his hands at all.
Yao Chongzhong walked up and said, "Little fish, black loach, you don't have to try again, the water here is different from the water you have there." We still go inside, and after the source of all sources, we have reached the boundary of the earth. ”
The black loach was surprised: "Brother Yao, do you want us to enter from here?"
Yao Chongzhong said: "Black loach, you heard it right, it is the passage to the boundary of the realm. ”
The black loach took a few steps back, withdrew from the edge of the pool, and said, "This deep pool is so deep, we fell into it, and we don't know where we are." Maybe it's the bottom of the river, maybe it's the bottom of the sea, or maybe it's the bottom of someone else's well. People say, 'The frog at the bottom of the well', we went, and we became 'the man at the bottom of the well', the 'dog at the bottom of the well'. ”
He shook his head and added: "It's still dead, I'm not going, I'm not going." ”
Yao Chongzhong didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "Black loach, in your opinion, where should we go from?"
The black loach looked up at the high wall and said, "Brother Yao, we should go up to the high wall, there must be the right side on it." ”
Yao Chongzhong said: "The high wall is hundreds of feet high, there is no road on it, and there is not even a place to climb, how can we go up?"
The black loach said: "Brother Yao, you are teasing me, you can take out the Ruyi Thunder Axe, make it bigger, and we can sit on it, or ask the Netherworld to build a ladder, and we can also go up." ”
Yao Chongzhong said: "Okay, I'll rely on you, let you sit on the axe and go up to see the situation." If there is a road, we will go from above, not here. ”
After he finished speaking, he stood the Ruyi Thunder Axe next to a high wall, hugged the black loach, and then chanted the incantation.
The Ruyi Thunder Axe quickly grew and rose upward, and when it reached a hundred feet, the axe disappeared along with the black loach.
Jiang Xiaoyu was startled and said, "Brother Yao, where is the black loach? ”
Yao Chongzhong pointed to the end of the high wall on the opposite side and said, "Little fish, you don't have to worry, isn't that a black loach? ”
At the top of the high wall opposite, a black dot appeared, and the black dot quickly became larger, and when it was closer, Jiang Xiaoyu could see clearly, it was the black loach, which was holding an axe at this moment, screaming.
Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly walked over, and as soon as the axe fell to the ground, he took the black loach.
