Chapter 21: The Origin of Emperor Liu
Qi Xuansu came back to his senses from a trance.
Catkins are the seeds of the willow tree, and after this willow seed takes root, it absorbs the entire blood lake, and eventually grows only as a willow seedling.
Qi Xuansu was almost certain that this should be the prototype of the Emperor Willow in the Ghost Country Cave Heaven.
Who planted a seed and finally bore fruit?
Considering that not long after the reconstruction of the Daomen, Emperor Liu already existed in the Ghost Country Cave Heaven, so it is likely that it is still Yao Zu's handiwork.
It should be that after Yao Zu completed the germination of the seeds here, he transplanted the emperor willow into the cave heaven of the ghost country.
It can be seen that Yao Zu not only regarded Lingshan Cave Heaven as a utility room, but also conducted various research on creation here. It has to be said that Yao Zu is worthy of being one of the founders of the Daomen Creation Project, and many of his achievements still play a very important role today.
Yao Zu created Emperor Liu, and then used Emperor Liu to seal the Yin and Yang gaps in the Ghost Country Cave, and Emperor Liu absorbed Yin Qi and thrived, and finally gave birth to Xiao Yin.
In other words, there is also some kind of connection between Emperor Liu and Lingshan Cave Heaven.
However, there is one thing that Qi Xuansu has not figured out, since he entered the Lingshan Cave Heaven, he will enter this trance state from time to time, and then he will see the story of the past, what is the principle?
Could it be that this is some kind of Yao Zu's backhand?
Wrong.
Yao Zu had no motive to do so.
Later geomasters had no incentive to do so.
Who would have such a motive?
Qi Xuansu immediately thought of someone.
Celestial Master.
Qi Xuansu is not unaware of his own value, and now he is also the number one person in the Daomen, it is not too much to say that the future is immeasurable, the key is that Qi Xuansu has a certain neutral color, at least not as strong as the Daomen Sanxiu.
Under this premise, the Heavenly Master does have such a motive, although Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao have formed an alliance to fight against the Taiping Dao, it does not mean that Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao are good enough to wear a pair of pants, and the rice is still eaten in separate pots.
The Heavenly Master agreed so happily this time, not only lent the "Returning Lantern" to Qi Xuansu, but also took the initiative to help Qi Xuansu defend against Wu Luo.
The Heavenly Master is not Qi Xuansu's white-bearded grandfather, let alone Qi Xuansu's own grandfather, he will not help Qi Xuansu for no reason, he must have something to seek.
Empathy, if Qi Xuansu is in the position of a heavenly master, how should he win over a young man who has doubts about the earth master?
Since this young man wants to know the truth, then give him the truth, but if he can't give it to him all at once, it will seem fake, too deliberate, and he will inevitably have doubts. So let him find it himself, just give appropriate help, let him find out the truth himself, and he will naturally make a choice.
That's what it means to go with the flow.
It can be inferred from this that this special miracle "seen in a trance" is very likely to be given by the Heavenly Master.
The Celestial Master wants to use the "Returning Lamp" to illuminate the way forward for Qi Xuansu?
In the eyes of Qi Jiaoyao on the side, there is not much difference between trance and contemplation, that is, Qi Xuansu has been in a daze, so he stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, shook it vigorously, and asked, "Are you evil?" What a lot of evil this must be, so that the Creation Martial Arts can be tricked, it shouldn't be the 'Nine Yin Netherworld Venerable'."
Qi Xuansu slapped Qi Jiaoyao's hand away and asked, "Do you know Emperor Liu?"
"Of course I do." Qi Jiaoyao said, "It's the big willow tree planted in the Ghost Country Cave Heaven to absorb yin qi."
Qi Xuansu asked again, "Since you know the existence of Emperor Liu, do you know the spirit of Emperor Liu?"
In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't have much hope, after all, Xiao Yin's existence is very special, and unlike the three major yin things, most people don't know about her existence, let alone understand it, but Qi Jiaoyao once again surprised Qi Xuansu and gave a fairly definite answer: "You know, the first generation of Emperor Willow Elves died due to Gu Immortals' invasion of the Ghost Country Cave Heaven, and the cause of death of the second generation of Emperor Willow Elves is unknown, and now it should be almost the third generation, right?"
Qi Xuansu was shocked, not only because Qi Jiaoyao knew about the Emperor Willow Elf, but also because the Emperor Willow Spirit actually had three generations, so Xiao Yin was actually the third generation.
Immediately afterward, Qi Xuansu immediately thought of Xiao Yin's immortal body, and then asked, "But I heard that as long as the Emperor Willow who exists in the Ghost Country Cave Heaven is immortal, the elves born from the Emperor Willow will continue to be reborn from the Emperor Willow, how can there be a saying that there are three generations of Emperor Willow Elves?"
Qi Jiaoyao sneered, "It depends on how you understand it. It is true that the Emperor Willow Elf will be reborn from the Emperor Willow, but every time it is reborn, it will make the Emperor Willow Spirit return to its original state, and all the memories will not exist, which is equivalent to starting over, so is she still her? You should know that even if a person's innate temperament remains the same, because of the difference in acquired experience and age, the final personality and ideas will still be very different, so they should be divided into three generations, which is equivalent to three different individuals."
Qi Xuansu was a little afraid, fortunately he didn't let Xiao Yin encounter too much danger, if he really let her start over, not to mention how to explain to the three major yin things, even if he himself was at this level, he wouldn't be able to get through.
In addition, if Xiao Yin, Emperor Liu, and Lingshan Cave Heaven still have such a relationship, then he took the initiative to let Xiao Yin protect his Dharma, would something unexpected happen? Especially since he hasn't told Xiao Yin the real situation.
Qi Xuansu had a bad premonition in his heart, but now, he couldn't have any remedy, so he could only comfort himself that Xiao Yin was still sensible and obedient, and he would definitely stay honestly and not move.
As for whether Qi Xuansu believes it or not, only he knows.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also realized one point: "Qi Daoyou, what kind of position did you hold in the Dao Sect in the past, not only were you able to get the permission of Jianxiu Mountain and enter the Lingshan Cave Heaven, but also knew so many secrets?"
Although Qi Jiaoyao was wearing a mask and couldn't see her expression clearly, Qi Xuansu still felt that she seemed to smile rather secretly, and then said: "Now, we are grasshoppers on a rope, so I won't hide it from you, I am actually the assistant of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and I have followed the earth master for many years, so I know these things, and I have obtained the authority of Jianxiu Mountain."
Qi Xuansu didn't have any doubts, the assistant of Wanshou Chongyang Palace was essentially a secretary, a typical lowly and powerful position, and knew many secrets that were difficult for ordinary people to know, which was difficult to compare with the feudal officials who were far away from the center.
Seriously speaking, Qi Jiaoyao's move is somewhat similar to Chen Shuhua's, it is nothing more than that Chen Shuhua is even worse, colluding with foreign enemies and completely betraying the Daomen, while Qi Jiaoyao did not collude with outsiders, not to mention betraying the Daomen, but just making mistakes. But if you really want to be caught, the consequences can be imagined.
Qi Xuansu didn't believe it all, nor did he disbelieve it, let alone mention the relationship between this place and Emperor Liu, but said, "Let's keep going."
It's just that Qi Xuansu didn't ask, and it was Qi Jiaoyao's turn to ask: "You suddenly mentioned Emperor Liu, does this have anything to do with Emperor Liu?"
Qi Xuansu knew that Qi Jiaoyao was not easy to fool, and he understood the truth of treating each other with sincerity, Qi Jiaoyao said so much, he couldn't hide it, so he had to say, "I saw in a dream that someone planted a seed here, absorbed the blood of the lake, and finally grew into a willow tree, I suspect that this is the origin of the emperor willow."
Qi Jiaoyao is very good at grasping the point: "Who planted the seed?"
"What do you say?" Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically.
Qi Jiaoyao said casually, "It must be Yao Zubei, who else can it be."
Qi Xuansu said, "Then we see something similar."
Qi Jiaoyao pointed out, "This dream of yours is quite strange, are you also the reincarnation of a great witch? Are you really the Yao family?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and didn't say anything, so he made a fool of himself.
The two of them each had their own secrets, so Qi Jiaoyao didn't ask to the end, and said, "Let's go on, it's not far from where Wu Zhen is buried."
Qi Xuansu sighed with emotion, "Wu Zhen, who is said to be able to manipulate souls."
Qi Jiaoyao said, "Although it was the Ancestral Heavenly Master who defeated the four great witches from the front, it may not be the Ancestral Heavenly Master who killed the killer in the end, from this point of view, it is likely that the Heavenly Master killed Wu Zhen who had been seriously injured by the Ancestral Heavenly Master.
However, before he died, Wu Zhen still struggled and left this projection. In my opinion, this projection is not simple, and it may be a mark left by Wu Zhen."
Qi Xuansu remembered the relationship between "Xuanyu" and the eleven witches, the six immortals of the Daomen and the eleven witches of the Wujiao are two completely different systems, if they are forcibly corresponded, it is probably that: Wu Peng corresponds to the autopsy immortal, Wu Xian and Wu correspond to the earth immortal, Wu Yang corresponds to the heavenly immortal, Wu Luo corresponds to the immortal, Wu Xiang and Wu Gu correspond to the human immortal, and Wu Zhen corresponds to the ghost immortal.
The brand of a ghost?
The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen.
The thoughts of ghosts and immortals are divided into thousands, one thought and one world.
This inevitably reminds people of many legends, such as being reborn from the sacrificial rebirth, or possessing an old-timer, grandfather, and so on.
If this speculation is true, then doesn't it mean that Wu Zhen is an "old-timer" who has no host?
But what does the projection left by the Heavenly Master mean? It can't be said that the Heavenly Master also fell into the Lingshan Cave Heaven, this is obviously impossible.
Could it be the means left by the Heavenly Master to suppress the witch truth? Let Wu Zhen's imprint forever be in the endless cycle of the last battle in his life?
This is not surprising, Wu Luo and Wu Xian both have their own back-ups, and they have successfully returned, it makes no sense that the other big witches have no back-ups. It should be that their hind hands have been destroyed, for example, Wu Ji was transformed and suppressed by Yao Zu, naturally he could not be resurrected, and Wu Zhen's last thought was trapped by the Heavenly Master.
Qi Xuansu said, "If your speculation is true, then we have to be very careful, if we accidentally release Wu Zhen, I'm afraid it will be very tricky."
Qi Jiaoyao said: "You are wrong, even if we don't provoke the imprint of Wu Zhen's thoughts, but there are still Wu Zhen's remains, which is also difficult to deal with."
"I don't know if it's a cold, or the third stroke, in short, today is an uncomfortable day, top-heavy, shallow-rooted, thick and hollow in the tip of the mouth."
