Chapter 88: Solar Eclipse
According to Qi Xuansu's observation, most of the immortals have spirituality and can respond to the outside world to a certain extent, rather than being completely dead, but this kind of spirituality can hardly be called wisdom, and naturally it cannot give birth to elves.
Qi Xuansu suspected that Wu Niang was born from the spiritual combination of part of the remnant soul of the female fairy and the spirituality of the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans", so she was no different from a human.
The "Returning Lantern" belongs to the kind of higher spirituality, almost similar to "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven" and "King Su". To be honest, Qi Xuansu would rather have a lower spirituality of these immortals, because in the case of realm cultivation not up to standard, the higher the spirituality, the more disobedient they are, and the "Returning Lantern" often ignores Qi Xuansu.
This is also the reason why Jiang Dazhen decided to give the "Seven Birds and Five Fire Fans" to Qi Xuansu, and replaced them with other immortal objects, Qi Xuansu couldn't use them.
This time, the "Hidden Lantern" apparition most likely has nothing to do with Qi Xuansu, but to give Wu Niang a face. Qi Xuansu even thought that if there were elves in the "Guizang Lantern", he predicted that Wu Niang would become an immortal in the future, which was to make friends in advance, hoping that Wu Niang would help him become an immortal in the future.
At this moment, Wu Niang poked Qi Xuansu with her finger to bring him back to his senses.
Qi Xuansu looked at Wu Niang, and Wu Niang snorted at the "Gui Zang Lamp".
I saw that although the "Guizang Lantern" was lit, there was nothing in the light, and it was just normal lighting. Not to mention that Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang can have night vision, let's just say that this corridor is bathed in sunlight, where can there be lighting.
Qi Xuansu understood at a glance that this was waiting to add lamp oil.
Lamp oil is divine power.
If the "Guizang Lamp" is a living person, it is estimated that it will also be said: When I used to follow the Heavenly Master, I ate eight meals a day, and I never worried about the lamp oil, and I followed you boy, I was hungry for nine meals in three days, and I had to take the initiative to ask for lamp oil, I don't say that you should not have such a thing, as far as you kid sees this little eyesight, and expect me to take care of you, you are beautiful! Do you really think that you are the Supreme Dao Ancestor who came into the world and the Xuan Sage was reincarnated?
Qi Xuansu injected divine power into the "Returning Lamp" and added lamp oil. The light emitted by the "Returning Lantern" changes accordingly.
First, there was a round of sun, and it was shining brightly.
The sun is round, and then a faint shadow suddenly appears on the western edge of the sun's circle.
The shadows are getting clearer.
It is said that the more you draw, the darker it becomes, and this is the case at this time, as if someone is constantly using an ink pen to trace the outline of the western edge of the sun, so that its lines become darker and thicker.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sky gradually turned black, and in the black sky hung a round of sun, which seemed to be extraordinarily bright, and like the unreachable wellhead sitting in the well and watching the sky.
Then the shadow began to expand, and it was only then that it could be seen that the shadow was essentially a circle, and at this time it was like two circles beginning to coincide, and the overlapping part blocked the light of the sun and became a pitch-black shadow, and the circle that blocked the sun could only see the overlapping shadow part, and the part that did not coincide with the sun was invisible.
The sun spots and halos were all gone, and the sky had completely darkened, as if it had come to night.
The coincidences deepened, the shadows expanded, and the sun gradually changed into the shape of the moon. Gradually, the sun changed from the moon to a sickle, and soon only a bright arc remained, just opposite to the bold black line at the beginning.
Eventually, this bright arc also vanished, leaving only infinite darkness and dead silence.
The black circle finally covered the sun completely, and finally revealed its full true face. Of course, Qi Xuansu knew what it was: "Tengu Eclipse Day."
Wu Niang said, "It's not over yet."
Sure enough, the change of the sun continued, the shadows did not stop, and the complete darkness was only short-lived. Soon, a golden edge of light appeared around the black circle, which was the light of the sun behind it.
The shadow appears from west to east, and the shadow leaves from west to east.
This time it was the outline of the western edge of the sun, and first a dazzling gold edge appeared, as if it were the same pen, but it turned into a glowing gold, constantly deepening this golden edge.
The next process is just the opposite of the previous one, and the shadows continue to recede
Gradually, the rays of the sun appeared, first like a sickle, then like the moon.
The sky brightened up, from the dark night when you couldn't see your fingers to the deep blue that was faintly visible, like at dawn. c0
Eventually, the sun dispelled the shadows and shone brightly, and the world returned to light.
It's just that compared with the previous sun, the current sun has undergone "nirvana rebirth", and it seems to be brighter and clearer, and there is a feeling of washing away the lead.
The picture of the "Returning to the Tibetan Lantern" came to an abrupt end, and the wick lit by Wu Niang was also extinguished.
Qi Xuansu had some kind of enlightenment and fell into deep thought.
Wu Niang asked, "You seem to see something?"
Qi Xuansu replied, "We have been investigating the Shadow Tide before, I can't figure out what the black sun means, and even think of the dark sun symbol of the killing apostle Cirela, and now I finally understand that it is not a black sun, and it has nothing to do with Cirela, the symbol of the black sun is actually a solar eclipse."
Wu Niang said thoughtfully, "The solar eclipse is a form of the sun, so we can determine two things, the Shadow Tide is indeed related to Kukulkan, and the solar eclipse also confirms Kukulkan's current state of self-care. It makes sense that Kukulkan needs more divine power because he is too busy to take care of himself."
Qi Xuansu said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the legend about the Paitti pyramid probably means that after the sacrifice is successful, the sun will be destroyed and the world will fall into darkness. Judging from the process of the solar eclipse just now, the moment when the sun is completely engulfed by shadows, is it like the destruction of the sun? The darkness after the sun disappears, is it like the so-called world is in darkness?"
Wu Niang's face changed slightly: "The premise of this legend is to obtain the artifact of the Payiti royal family, open the pyramid, and make sacrifices. Could it be that all of our previous assumptions were wrong? In fact, Kukulkan has already obtained the artifact and sacrificed it, which is why he has entered this state of slumber."
"At this time, Kukulkan is not too busy to take care of himself, but has entered a special state, undergoing a wonderful transformation, and when he sees the light of day again, he may be a catastrophe of immortals."
"Shall we go in again? If Kukulkan is too busy to take care of himself, as if he was seriously injured and dying, then the two of us really don't need to be too afraid. But if Kukulkan is in a kind of transformation, it is difficult to say, interrupting his transformation may not make him suffer a heavy blow, but it will definitely completely anger him, even if we have the backing of Daomen, we can't scare him. At that time, I can say that you will probably be able to save your life, and you will be more than lucky."
Wu Niang's meaning is very clear, that is, to seek stability, retreat for the time being, and then go to the report door to make plans.
Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment: "I don't see it that way, maybe things haven't come to this point yet."
At this time, Wu Niang had lost her usual state of being out of the wind and fire, she was very serious and calm, and asked, "What do you think? It's a matter of life and death, don't hide it, and make it clear."
She added, "I am entrusted by Jiang Hedao to ensure your safety, if you can't convince me, I won't allow your next behavior." c0
Qi Xuansu said, "Wu Niang, if it is really as you said, Kukulkan is undergoing a kind of transformation, can it be understood as our retreat?"
Wu Niang thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, indeed."
Qi Xuansu continued, "When we are in retreat, the first thing we need to do is to find a Dharma protector or open a formation to make sure that we are not disturbed. Because once you are disturbed, it is very dangerous to lose all your efforts at least and go crazy at worst. But now we have gone all the way, this palace does not have any formation prohibitions, let us go to the most core dormitory position, and we have not seen any decent protectors along the way, only one sun guard, you were easily refined to death by Wu Niang, isn't it too hasty? Even if we don't come, what if Ichichel calls?"
Wu Niang was stunned, this was something she didn't consider.
Qi Xuansu continued, "If it is true that Kukulkan can become a Tribulation Immortal after undergoing this transformation, then he should completely seal the temple and mobilize all his protectors at the same time
Wei was stationed here, and even invited one of his most trusted immortals to sit here in person until he succeeded. No matter what the cost, it will be worth it for the outcome of becoming an immortal."
"Just imagine, if someone from the Dao Sect is expected to become a Tribulation Immortal, then what will happen to the Dao Gate? I'm afraid that several immortals will be dispatched to protect them, open various formations, and even impose martial law on Yujing and some areas of Kunlun Daofu for a short time to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Even if the conditions of Kukulkan can't be compared to those of the Daomen, they shouldn't be so rudimentary."
I have to say that these words really convinced Wu Niang.
Wu Niang had to admit: "You're right, this is indeed too strange, logically speaking, it should be the goddess of stars and moon Chuck Chell who is blocking us here, but Chack Chell is not here at all. Could it be that Ikhchel has come in, and Chakchel has gone to meet the enemy?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "No. According to this hypothesis, if Chakchel guards the goal, then even if Ichichel attacks the kingdom of God in Kukulkan, Chakchel will not leave this place to take the initiative to face it, but will only fight Ichichel in front of the goal. Daomen teaches us to grasp the main contradiction and focus on the overall situation, and the main contradiction at this time is whether Kukulkan can become a catastrophe immortal, rather than repelling foreign enemies. What Chakchel has to do is to hold the palace, not defeat Ichichel, as long as Kukulkan succeeds, the other losses are worth it, and Ichichel has nothing to worry about. The ancient gods have lived for so many years, and they will not understand the truth of turning the tiger away from the mountain, attacking the east and west, and losing the big because of the small."
"Because of this, I deduce that Chuck Chel is not being transferred from the mountain, but that he is not here at all. In other words, the current Kukulkan Palace is undefended."
"Either Chuck Chell had other ideas and betrayed Kukulkan. Either Kukulkan can't even trust Chakcher, and plays an empty city plan. Either Kukulkan is really too busy to take care of himself."
Wu Niang sighed when she heard this, "The water of the ancient gods is still deep."
