Volume 1 Chapter 17 The High Heavenly Throne
"The Throne of the High Heavens...... I'm not a member of the wandering gods, I was captured by them. Zhang stayed up all night and endured the pain of wearing his shoulders, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I'm just an ordinary person, lie on the haystack and fall asleep, and wake up here." ”
He didn't lie to this "cellmate", in fact, Zhang stayed up all night and really didn't think that the Shaking Lantern Sect was coming at him, but the previous conflict in the drunken wine shop, he did expose his ability to see through the illusion in this dream of the sleeping king, and even he wondered if it was because of this that the Shaking Lantern Sect imprisoned him here. The girl's words aroused his curiosity, and he realized that this man knew far more about the Lamp Shaking Cult and the ethereal wandering spirits than he knew about it.
All the information about the Shaking Lantern Sect came from the Shaking Lantern Sect disciple who disguised himself as the voice of the fat monk after waking up from the dream, and even made him suspect that Sun Ganlu was fake for a while, until he secretly confirmed it in person later, which also made him doubt the voice of the heart. But for some reason, he secretly felt that most of what the Lamp Shaker had said to him was probably true, completely unreasonable, and just a gut feeling.
Now the girl in the cell next to him, although Zhang can't look at her all night to tell whether it's real or fake, it is the source of his increased understanding of his current situation.
This group of lantern-shaking sects shouldn't weave an illusion to fool themselves and accompany themselves to chatter, right?
Zhang stayed up all night with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it was only a moment's work, and he said, "This girl, what do you call it?" Stay up late in the lower Beihai country. Can you tell me who these Lamp Shakers are? ”
"My name is Hongjiang." The girl's voice was clear and beautiful, and she seemed extremely calm, "You should have heard of the Six Thrones of the High Heavens, right?" ”
After receiving the boy's negative answer, the girl fell into a moment of silence, "You're not a monk?" ”
Zhang stayed up late and said helplessly: "I said at the beginning, I'm just an ordinary person." ”
The girl named Hong Jiang didn't respond, but Zhang stayed up all night and felt that she didn't seem to believe her statement, and then he heard Hong Jiang say: "The Six Thrones of the High Heavens are the six wandering gods who have existed outside the territory in an unknown era, and they have unimaginable power, but because of one emperor, two kings and three religions, you have always heard of this, right?" Because of the existence of these forces and big people in the world, this world can avoid falling into their clutches. The High Heavenly Throne is a god-like existence, without good or evil, or even a purpose, but it can have an impact on our world. That's why there are countless people in the world with different purposes to believe in and sacrifice them in exchange for a response, this is the Youshen Sect, which is naturally an evil species in the world, and everything they do is only to satisfy the dignity they believe in, and it is the evil that must be eliminated by all the famous families on the mountain. ”
Hong Jiang rarely seemed to say so many words in one breath, and after a slight pause, he continued: "The group of madmen who shake the lamp sect believe in Ba Yu and Tai Sui in the Six Thrones. ”
Zhang stayed up all night and had already heard of the sleeping king Tai Sui, but it was the first time he heard the name Ba Yu.
"Can you worship two wandering gods at the same time? Is this the same as a person who believes in the Buddha and worships the Taoist? ”
Hong Jiang said: "It's completely different, there is no good and evil right and wrong on the High Heaven Throne, but it is a completely unimaginable existence that cannot be looked directly at people, so the three sects also have different names for the existence above the high heavens." In addition, even if they believe in the same throne, such as the group of perverts of the Shaking Lantern Sect and the Hoo Sect, they all believe in Tai Sui, but they are mortal enemies who want to fight to the death when they meet. There will also be fights between the Wandering Gods Cults who believe in different thrones, which may be a sign from the heavens, suspecting that the thrones may be hostile to each other, but it does not prevent some Wandering Gods Cults, such as the Shaking Lantern Sect, a group of blind people, who believe in two different thrones at the same time to sacrifice in exchange for strength. ”
Zhang stayed up all night digesting this unheard of information and asked cautiously, "Sacrifice in exchange for strength, don't you need to practice?" ”
As if thinking of something, the girl's calm and clear voice carried a hint of cold seriousness, "Any sacrifice to the throne has to pay a terrible price, and even life is often the slightest price among them, the sins and terrible things that the Wandering God Sect has committed, you can't imagine. I don't know what you've been through, and I don't know why you've been caught in this altar of the Burning Lamp, but I advise you never to have anything to do with the people of the High Heaven Throne and the Wandering Gods. ”
Zhang stayed up all night and was amused by this girl's serious preaching, "Hey, hey, I just escaped from a few years of miserable days, and finally met a warm-hearted big brother who took me to dart to beg for a living, but Lu Su's sleeping kung fu was brought to this Tai Sui dream by this group of neurotics, can this still be involved?" You can't blame me for this, can I? ”
Then he told the girl about his experiences in the past few days, and after listening to them, the girl asked, "You say that you can see through the truth and falsehood in this dream of the sleeping king?" ”
Zhang stayed up all night and hesitated, and said frankly: "Yes, I don't know why, but as long as I look at it carefully, some illusions will show their true colors and become disgusting insects, and the shackles on my hands are like this when I wake up." But not everything, like this cell door or this rock wall, no matter how hard I try to tell the difference, it won't react. ”
Hongjiang said: "Zhang stayed up late, let me ask you again, are you really not a dependant of the throne?" In this Tai Sui dream, unless you are the top master of the Three Sects and the Heavenly Supervisor, only those dependents with the power and supernatural powers of the throne can be able to distinguish the delirium and illusion in the dream of the Sleeping King, not to mention that you are still a mortal, this is absolutely unreasonable. ”
The young man was a little angry and said unhappily: "What did I lie to you about?" My friends don't know where they are yet, and I have to find a way to save them. The lantern shaker said that if you stay here for a long time, you won't wake up. I've got to find them and figure out how to wake them up together. ”
The two fell silent for a while, and Zhang stayed up all night and suddenly asked, "Red... Girl, how did you get caught by the Lamp Shaker Sect? ”
Hong Jiang let out a burst of laughter like silver bells when he heard this, "Just call me Hong Jiang, and I wasn't caught by the people of the Shaking Lantern Sect, I came in by myself, have you heard of the Heavenly Prison Division?" ”
Zhang stayed up all night trying to recall, and finally vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard his father mention it, and asked in a not very sure tone: "It seems to be a yamen of the imperial court?" ”
"Yes, I am a member of the Heavenly Prison Division, and the Heavenly Heavenly Division is responsible for observing those beings above the heavens in the human world and avoiding contact with the human world. And I'm here to track down something. It's just that I fought with a great elder of the Shaking Lantern Sect before, and I made a mistake, and I woke up and was locked up here. ”
Zhang stayed up a little skeptical and said, "In this case, the Heavenly Supervisor and all the Wandering God Sects are in a hostile relationship, right?" Then why didn't they just kill you? ”
Hongjun didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all because of the boy's suspicions, "Because I disguised myself as a member of the throne. And any of the dependents of the High Heavenly Throne is far from being comparable to making some sacrifices to these beings in exchange for power. ”
She paused, "...... Rather, it is directly under the gaze of the heavens. In other words, these high heavenly thrones are subordinates in the human world, similar to some kind of master-servant relationship. And this group of crazy people with twisted hearts and personalities, their fanaticism for those existential beliefs is beyond your comprehension, so pretending to be a dependent of a certain wandering god is a life talisman. ”
Wandering ...... Throne ......
Zhang stayed up a little tired and closed his eyes, everything that happened after falling asleep was too weird, far more than he knew, but he had to deal with it carefully at the moment. At this time, he had a vague thought in his mind, but he was not sure.
He said, "I have a wisp of sword energy. ”
Hong Jiang didn't seem to react, and the boy took a breath and started the story from the burning village a few years ago, until he fell into the ghost tomb by chance, including a group of pit ingots who successfully escaped, and went to Ping'an County to stay in the deserted village of Lishanyuan with Xu Darttou.
After listening to the young man's experience, the girl over there fell into silence for a long time, Zhang stayed up all night and was apprehensive, he had an intuition, that is, that tomb was related to the existence of these high heavens, if that so-called innate sword qi was really a gift from a certain wandering god's family, then it seemed that many things made sense.
This is the only possibility that he summed up after thinking about it.
The girl suddenly said, "Zhang stayed up late, do you want to practice?" ”
