Chapter 5 Dugutai, the mayor, and the past
Early in the morning, Liang Nanshan was woken up by Husheng, Husheng: "Brother Nanshan, let's go on the road early after eating." Liang Nanshan replied with interest. The breakfast was very generous, but he didn't have much to match it, and he began to feel very unhappy about the trip.
hurriedly filled his stomach, and sure enough, Husheng began to lead Liang Nanshan on the road, only the two of them.
Husheng: "Don't worry, Brother Nanshan, the mayor of the town is very good." Obviously, Liang Nanshan didn't listen to this speechless words, he knew that he had no qualifications to be dissatisfied at all, after all, all this was provided by others, but emotions were not so easy to control.
Speechless all the way, Husheng: "Brother Nanshan, look ahead!"
Liang Nanshan heard the words and looked at them, and there were two stone walls in front of him that were as straight as swords, probably the two that he saw on the top of the mountain. Two stone walls break through the pool and plunge straight into the sky, the pool, there is no wind and no waves, completely black, there is a very heavy feeling after looking at it for a long time, and it seems to have a kind of magic. Liang Nanshan believed that Jiushi would probably jump down, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.
There is a stone platform between the two walls, and the passage of the stone platform is connected by suspension bridges on both sides, but one of the suspension bridges is broken. There seemed to be a man sitting cross-legged on the stone platform.
Liang Nanshan: "That's?"
Husheng was silent for a while and slowly spoke: "The stone platform in the middle is called Dugutai, and the one sitting on the stone platform is the mayor. ”
Although Liang Nanshan's first feeling was that the person was the mayor in their mouths, he was inevitably shocked when he heard Husheng say it himself, in his imagination, the mayor was an official position, not what he looked like in front of him.
Husheng: "Brother Nanshan, you saw the suspension bridge." ”
Liang Nanshan: "I saw it." ”
Husheng: "You can follow it to the mayor." ”
Liang Nanshan: "You won't go?"
Husheng shook his head and said, "I won't go." Come over here, Mayor Mare is waiting. Liang Nanshan went alone to meet the man sitting on the Dugu platform.
The drawbridge is long and will rock around when you walk on it. Liang Nanshan felt that if he fell, the consequences would be very serious. Finally, with great perseverance, he ascended to Dugutai.
The old man's hair was white, and his sackcloth was brown over his body. The old man sat here cross-legged, and when he approached, he felt that he was like an unclimbable mountain, as if it had survived forever, lonely and lonely.
Just when Liang Nanshan didn't know how to look at the mouth, the old man: "You can sit down." His voice was hoarse and old, and he definitely hadn't spoken for a long time, and he said that he had been talking for a while. Liang Nanshan sat down as he was told.
Dugutai, two people, one ancient and one young. Although the old man's momentum is majestic, it is more of a unity with the Tao, just like the peaks of the mountains in nature, calm and majestic.
Liang Nanshan: "Do you have something to look for me?" Unconsciously, Liang Nanshan's attitude towards the old man was very respectful, and the old man smiled and said, "Why be so restrained. Feel free to do it. "Liang Nanshan didn't dare to be really casual.
The old man looked at Liang Nanshan, and between his eyes, Liang Nanshan felt like seeing the starry sky, vast and boundless. The old man retracted his gaze and said, "There are some old things I want to talk to you about. I don't know if the little doll is interested in listening. Then he looked at Liang Nanshan with a smile, Liang Nanshan: "The younger generation naturally listens." Old man: "That's good." And so a story slowly flowed out of his mouth.
Old man: "I'll get straight to the point, this place is a place of repression." ”
Liang Nanshan continued: "Suppression?"
The old man nodded: "Suppression." The other suspension bridge you see is the one you came from when I came. After a pause, he said, "This is the way I left." Liang Nanshan did not answer and waited for the following.
Old man: "Back then, a group of 'evil spirits' came from a certain space, but they were still found here by the pursuers, and because the pursuers couldn't bear to destroy them, they changed to suppression. This is where you are. ”
Liang Nanshan: "Was it a long time ago?"
Old man: "Haha, it's been a long time, and it's been so long that the sea can change mulberry fields." Liang Nanshan was already in a cold sweat, and asked cautiously, "What about you?"
Old man: "You little baby, what are you afraid of, I didn't say that I had seen that era, it was the past that we recorded in the classics." Asked, "Do you think I'm old?" Liang Nanshan gradually relaxed when he saw the old man so casual, and said, "You are not old, you are too old." ”
The old man laughed when he heard the words and said, "Not old, not old, I am only a hundred years old." Although Liang Nanshan was sitting, when he heard the old man's words, he almost stumbled into the pool.
The old man continued: "Look at this pool, below that is where the repression is located. Liang Nanshan looked at it and asked, "Those things are very powerful?"
Old man: "It's very powerful, there have been two pollutions." ”
Liang Nanshan: "Pollution?" The old man nodded: "Pollution means that some people have escaped from the suppression and caused chaos in the world." ”
The old man continued: "The first time the scale of the university is relatively large, and many classics record this event. ”
Liang Nanshan suddenly became interested and said, "Do the classics still exist in the world?"
Old man: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas knows, it records a small part of that disaster. Liang Nanshan was speechless, and the old man: "It may not be true, but it happened." After the outbreak of pollution, our veins and the worldly veins began to pick up the pieces, which is why those things are now invisible. ”
Liang Nanshan swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You mean, those divine beasts, monsters or something were captured by you and then sank into this black pool?"
Old man: "You can understand it this way. ”
Liang Nanshan: "What about another time?"
Old man: "That time was set off by those fish who slipped through the net back then. ”
Liang Nanshan: "What happened the second time?"
The old man looked reminiscing, and then said, "The second time was decades ago. ”
Liang Nanshan began to be a little suspicious, and the old man continued: "This time, because of the cooperation with the people in power at the time, it was quickly extinguished. ”
The old man sighed: "Although it was extinguished in time, I didn't expect it to have such a far-reaching impact on the people of this land. The result is contrary to the original intention. ”
Liang Nanshan: "What impact?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It's okay not to mention it, it's okay not to mention it." It was a bit overdone at the time. Liang Nanshan didn't continue to ask any more questions, and continued to sit upright.
The old man thought for a while and said, "What do you think will be the result if you continue to suppress it like this?"
Liang Nanshan thought for a long time and said: "It is very likely that there will be times when it cannot be suppressed. ”
The old man nodded and said, "That's true, as the rules of the stars are gradually improved, the situation will become more and more troublesome. Liang Nanshan didn't know what he meant for a while, and the old man: "Do you still remember the pursuers I said?" Liang Nanshan nodded.
Old man: "At that time, the pursuer came here because the rules of the stars were not very perfect, and he had the opportunity to return to his ancestral land, but after all, he couldn't let go of this place and stayed. A number of approaches have also been taken. ”
Liang Nanshan asked curiously, "The pursuer is yours?"
The old man: "It can be said that he is the ancestor of our lineage and the manifest lineage, but he clearly said that he is not from this place after all, and future generations are not allowed to worship him as the ancestor." ”
Then continued: "But he met some people. There are Lear, Sakyamuni, etc., and some spells have been circulated to show the pulse. Liang Nanshan couldn't believe his ears at this moment, and said after a long time: "Then the Taoism in history came from that chaser?"
Old man: "What's more, the entire Chinese civilization can be regarded as built by him." ”
Liang Nanshan didn't know what to be shocked at this time, and now he was numb, and the conversation that changed the three views was destined not to have too many associations.
Old man: "He is imitating the system of his ancestral land to guide the direction of Chinese civilization." ”
The old man sighed slightly: "Alas, it is inevitable that Jie Chen, like him, will eventually look for the same kind." ”
The old man continued: "But that kind of system is too burdensome for the stars, and he fought against the rules of the stars on his own, but after he died, this civilization began to collapse. ”
Liang Nanshan: "But I think that the approach of our ancients is very in line with the way of nature." ”
The old man shook his head: "For mortals, if they are all so in line with nature, the kind of system he built will not be broken, the key is that there is a group of people who ask too much for nature but the return cycle is too long, that is to say, once a cultivator has achieved cultivation, it will take a long time to return to nature." ”
Liang Nanshan now feels like he's a little out of the dust. The old man didn't care at all, and said, "After all, this planet is too small to support that kind of system. ”
The old man: "He had already calculated that there would be today before the immortal left, in order for future generations to have enough ability to continue to stick to his responsibilities, he retained a number of heavenly treasures and some cave heaven and earth blessings with his strength, so that his successors have the resources to practice." But now these things are about to be exhausted, and the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is gradually losing its effect due to the influence of the rules of the stars. ”
Liang Nanshan: "What should I do in the future?"
Old man: "Don't worry, don't worry, he also expected that there would be today, so he left one thing down and asked to use it when the rules of the planet were about to be perfected." That is, in this day and age. That's why I'm here for you. After speaking, he looked at Liang Nanshan.
Liang Nanshan: "Why can you use it now?"
Old man: "When a person is strongest, he will not care about some weak things, and the same is true of the rules of the stars, if the thing he left behind is used when the rules of the stars are very weak, it will lead to an estimated disaster." ”
Liang Nanshan is a young man of the 21st century, and the above things have distorted his fragile three views.
The old man gave Liang Nanshan time to think, and said after a while: "That thing can send a person to his ancestral land, as for the purpose, I believe you already know." ”
Liang Nanshan asked, "Then why don't you send more powerful people? I'm just a very ordinary person." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "It will be a catastrophic blow for the cultivators of our world to arrive in another world, because after arriving, they will be baptized by the rules of that side. This is also the warning he left back then, but ordinary people have no problem, and unless they are as strong as him, they can not be destroyed by the replacement of rules. ”
Liang Nanshan was just a very ordinary member, and he didn't believe that he would be chosen to do such an important task.
Of course, the old man knew what he was thinking, and said, "It is very likely that you in the future have influenced the present and the past, and throwing a stone into the water will spread all around, and it is very likely that time will be the same. ”
Liang Nanshan seems to have an understanding, but this kind of endless cycle is very far-fetched.
The old man said again, "Did you pass through a grassy forest when you came?" Liang Nanshan nodded.
Old man: "There is a formation left by him under that grass, and the two horses are also trained according to the method he left, and that grass has determined that you are the one!"
Liang Nanshan: "But I don't feel any different. ”
Old man: "That formation is not allowed for anyone except the people from our town and that person plus two horses, but of course only if we open the formation." Liang Nanshan didn't ask again.
The old man looked at the sun and said, "Let's get here today, and you can go back and say goodbye." ”
Liang Nanshan: "What if I choose not to go?"
The old man smiled and said, "You will go." Then he closed his eyes and recuperated, Liang Nanshan pondered for a long time, and then got up to say goodbye. At this time, the old man spoke: "Hurry up, maybe I will activate that thing at any time." Liang Nanshan nodded and set foot on the way home.
