Chapter 30: Heavenly Eyes
The five-colored light was very soft, not dazzling, and was refracted from the depths of the cave, and this vision made Ying Zheng hesitate.
Jing Liang is currently missing, and it is estimated that it has nothing to do with this five-color light, and he threw Jing Liang down just to protect himself, but Yingzheng categorically couldn't do it.
But as he continued to move forward, the fear of unknown dangers gradually increased, and he knew that even Jing Liang's good kung fu was gone, and he was a gift at best.
Having settled down, Ying Zheng suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to move forward.
After walking around a corner again, Ying Zheng suddenly opened up, and Ying Zheng came to a spherical space with a diameter of about five zhang.
The surrounding rock walls are very layered, pressed one by one, and are illuminated by five-colored lights, reflecting an intoxicating artistic conception.
In the middle was a high platform made of stone, on which was placed something resembling a bird's nest, from which the five-colored light emanated.
Ying Zheng was stunned by the scene in front of him, and unconsciously walked towards the light source in the "bird's nest", and most of the fear in his heart dissipated.
When I walked up to the "bird's nest", I saw the light source of multicolored light at a glance.
It was a grain-like object, about the size of a fist. Looking at the material, it should be made of stone, faintly glowing with soft five-colored light.
Ying Zheng had never seen such a thing, let alone a name, so he instinctively leaned over and observed it carefully.
Ying Zheng raised his hand to pick up the glowing stone, hesitated, but put his hand down again, and as soon as he put his hand down, he raised it again.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Is it possible that as the monarch of a country, you can touch other people's things casually?"
The sound is like a bell, breathtaking, I don't know if it's the special structure of this space, or because of what, Ying Zheng only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he quickly retracted his hand.
Looking up, there was an old man standing opposite, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Ying Zheng straightened up, steadied his mind, and looked at the old man carefully.
The old man was all white. White clothes, white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, fairy wind bones generally stand not far away.
Ying Zheng politely arched his hand and said: "Since the seniors know the widow, they have offended a lot, and I hope to forgive me." Dare to ask the seniors' surnames? β
The old man in white put away the Wei Ling just now, and said calmly: "Since you are a person from outside the world, your name is naturally not important. I just stopped you, and it was also for your own good, you can't touch this thing now. β
"Oh?" Ying Zheng frowned and asked, "Dare to ask the seniors, what will happen if you touch it?" β
"Hair loss, broken teeth." The old man in white said with certainty, "Within a month, the body will definitely festering and dying." β
Ying Zheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Widow...... Under recklessness, fortunately the seniors blocked it, otherwise ......"
"Hehe, the posterity just now is not as sensible as you." The old man in white said.
Ying Zheng knew that the old man in white was referring to Jing Liang, and hurriedly asked, "That person is a friend of the next, what's wrong with him, is it okay?" β
"The old man didn't listen to him, and touched the divine stone." The old man in white said slowly.
"Huh?" Ying Zheng took a step back, feeling a little weak in his legs.
"However, the old man has put him to sleep and taken the antidote." The old man in white still said slowly, "Rest for one night, and you'll probably be fine." β
The black line on Ying Zheng's face, there is an antidote, you didn't say it earlier.
"Dare to ask the seniors, what is this, how can it be so domineering, it will make people touch it and die?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
The old man in white still said unhurriedly: "This glowing multicolored divine stone, even a three-year-old child knows what it is, but you came to ask the old man." β
"Five...... Color...... Shenshi ......" Ying Zheng raised his head suddenly, his pupils tightened, "Could it be?" β
"Hahaha...... the old man in white laughed, "Yes, this is the legendary multicolored divine stone in ancient timesβNuwa Stone!" β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Ying Zheng suspected that he had heard it wrong, or he was drunk last night and hadn't woken up yet. How did I accidentally get into the mythical story?
"Are you doubting what the old man said?" The old man in white asked unhappily when he saw Ying Zheng's blank expression.
"Oh no." Ying Zheng came back to his senses and arched his hand and said, "The juniors don't dare." β
"That's fine." The old man in white shook his head and said, "It's no wonder you. In today's world, people only take ancient events as myths and stories to listen to, even if they see it with their own eyes, it is especially difficult to believe. β
Seeing that Ying Zheng was silent, the old man in white continued: "This divine stone is sleeping here, there is no colorful light emitting before, and the hole on the outside is also closed, so it is difficult for outsiders to find it. Today, the old man came to check, opened the hole, and just woke up the Divine Stone, unexpectedly, the two of you broke in one after another. Since it is such a coincidence, it is also a godsend, and I will tell you the story of this sacred stone, and you can also listen to it as a story. β
Ying Zheng saw that the old man in white was kind and could tell stories, so he also relaxed, and said, "The younger generation listens. β
The old man in white said leisurely: "The colorful divine stone, commonly known as the Nuwa stone, there are nine remaining in the world, this is only one of them, in myths and legends, it is said that it is used by Nuwa Niangniang to make up for the sky." But legends are legends after all, and the descriptions in them are not comprehensive and complete, and there are many distortions. Only the fact that Nuwa Niangniang has used Nuwa Stone is true. β
Ying Zheng nodded, listening very seriously.
"And Nuwa Stone is just a general term for this kind of colorful divine stone in that era." The old man in white continued, "Its real name is called 'Tianmu'. β
"Tianmu?" Ying Zheng muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Not bad." The old man in white still spoke slowly, "According to legend, the Heavenly Eye was made of extraterrestrial meteorites, which are rich in extremely high energy and extremely magnetic. If it is in a normal state, it is no different from a normal stone, but if it is activated, it will glow with different lights. What you see now is the state in which it is activated, and this state is also the most dangerous time, because these strange lights contain anomalous light that can kill people, and the closer you get, the stronger the radiation. β
"Radiation?" Ying Zheng heard this term for the first time, and at the same time unconsciously took two steps back.
"Hehe, even if you retreat farther, those rays of light have already entered your body." The old man in white smiled and said, "Before you leave, take a special antidote, and you'll be fine." β
Ying Zheng felt a little relieved, but he no longer dared to look at the divine stone, for fear that the abnormal light would damage his eyes.
The old man in white stroked his beard and continued: "Tianmu is named because of its origin and shape, but its deep meaning also has the meaning of the heavens peeping into the mortal world. β
"I see." Ying Zheng said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng no longer thinks it's a myth. Something made from meteorites contains anomalous light and magnetism, which is normal.
"These celestial eyes are not made by nature, they are made because they are used for another purpose." The old man in white said slowly, "And it is a great use for people in this world. β
"Big use?" Ying Zheng asked with some urgency, "What is that for, and who made it?" β
"The use is naturally to save the world, and Nuwa Niangniang has already used it back then, but the process and method are not as mythical and legendary. As for whether Tianmu was created by Nuwa Niangniang, it is unknown. The old man in white said.
"What did Nuwa Niangniang do with Tianmu?" Ying Zheng asked solemnly.
"Hehehe, this is a secret of heaven, the old man doesn't dare to say it at will." The old man in white smiled and said unhurriedly: "It's better for the old man to ask you a few questions, and you can think of the answers yourself." β
This sounds familiar.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Senior, please speak." β
"Jiuding is currently gathered in the Qin State, right?" The old man in white asked instead.
Ying Zheng didn't expect that the old man in white suddenly asked about Jiuding and was stunned.
But Ying Zheng knew that for the real people in front of him, there was no point in concealing it, so he immediately said: "Jiuding is indeed placed in the Qin State at present. β
"Where do you put it?" The old man in white asked.
"Lu Mansion." Ying Zheng's answer was very simple.
"Have you already seen Jiuding?" The old man in white asked again.
"I've seen it, but the younger generation has a lot of doubts in their hearts." Ying Zheng said.
"Are the nine tripods intact?" The old man in white asked.
"It's in good condition, it's like it's just made." Ying Zheng said.
How to write the word "Ding" in Jiuding? The old man in white spoke faster and suddenly turned to ask.
"The top is a purpose, and the bottom is ......"
Wait, purpose?
Ying Zheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror.
"Eye!!" Ying Zheng said loudly, "Could that purpose mean ......?"
"Hahaha......" The old man in white laughed, looked at the colorful divine stone and said, "It's really smart, yes, that eye refers to the heavenly eye, this is your own guess, but it is not the old man who leaked the heavenly secret." β
Ying Zheng's heart suddenly sounded a chaotic drum.
Shock, doubt, dazed, overwhelmed and other emotions made Yingzheng no longer calm. Tianmu and Jiuding have such a deep relationship, so if you know more about Tianmu, you will naturally know more about Jiuding.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming his mind, Ying Zheng asked: "In this way, Tianmu and Jiuding should be one, right?" β
The old man in white shook his head and said, "What really works is Tianmu, Jiuding is just a necessary carrier to activate Tianmu. β
"Forgive the younger generation for being stupid, I still haven't guessed what the purpose of Tianmu is." If you can guess it in a few words, what kind of ancient heavenly machine is it, Ying Zheng said this and was eager to let the old man tell him the truth.
"Peeping into the sky will inevitably pay a certain price." The old man in white paused and said, "Are you sure you want to continue to ask?" β
"This ......" Yingzheng didn't know what price to pay, and where he dared to ask again.
"That's fine." The old man in white shook his head with a wry smile and said, "We seem to have met by chance, but in fact it is providence. β
Ying Zheng looked at the old man in white with puzzled eyes, in Ying Zheng's eyes, this old man was unfathomable, but he was really a little nervous.
The old man in white saw Yingzheng's confusion, and said: "Since you have guessed that Tianmu needs to use Jiuding to play a role, and the old man controls Tianmu and you control Jiuding, then it is destined that there will be a cooperation between the two of us, either a transaction, or a ...... Fight. β
The old man in white's voice suddenly turned cold, giving people an irresistible feeling.
Ying Zheng calmed down instead: "The predecessors are masters of the world, so there is no need to fight." Jiuding is the thing of all the people in China, Daqin is also obtained by chance, if it can really benefit the world, it is to offer Jiuding hands, it is not impossible. It's just that I want to know the reason for this, and I can go back and give an explanation to the Qin people. β
The old man in white squinted his eyes, twisted his white beard, walked a few steps to the left, and walked back again, looking thoughtful.
"Then it might as well be like this." The old man in white said, "If you hand over Jiuding to the old man for nothing, you will not only lose the identity of the old man, but also make you unwilling." Besides, the old man is old, and many things are powerless, so it is better for you to replace the old man, find the eyes of the sky, and merge with Jiuding, and benefit all beings, what do you think? β
"This ......" Ying Zheng never expected that the suggestion made by the old man in white would be like this.
"The old man knows that it is a bit hasty to let you make a decision at once." The old man in white said, "The old man has given you a night to think about it, and tomorrow morning, no matter what your decision is, you must come here." If you agree, you can return to Xianyang with your friends. β
Another deep meaning of the old man in white is that if Yingzheng does not agree, it is not certain whether he can see Jing Liang.
Ying Zheng really needed time to think, and then said: "Then since the predecessors have this will, it is the luck of Ying Zheng's three lives, but the stakes are very high, and you can think about it later." I will retire today. β
"Wait." The old man in white raised his hand, "Next." β
A red shadow was thrown out of the hand of the old man in white.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and then looked at the palm of his hand, which was a red pill the size of a fingernail.
"Don't forget your antidote." After speaking, the old man in white had already turned around.
"Thank you, senior." Ying Zheng arched his hand, exited the hole, and walked towards the place where he had tied his horse before.
After Ying Zheng left, a person stepped out from the back of the circular cave.
I saw this person bow to the old man in white and say, "Master." β
