Chapter 400: What will the world look like in a thousand years?
"Is it true that the Taoist is emotionless?" The woman was dressed in white and looked directly at him, "Or is it that the knot we left in the Dao Chief's heart before, no matter what we do, we can't untie it?" ”
"Rebuilding a ghost town, thanks to the spiritual power of yin and yang, is considered a work. If you are willing to guard the ghost city again, in order to ensure the smooth condensation of the underworld and the underworld, and not be interfered with by gods, Buddhas and demons, it will be another achievement. Song You still had such a soft and indifferent tone, even because he had been sitting on the high platform for a long time, he was a little weak, "The foot has nothing to do with humanity, so this exchange is also sincere." ”
"Wan Jiang is just helping the Taoist, not helping the humanitarians, just like Wanjiang is here to play the qin, and he just wants to solve the boredom of the Taoist."
"I don't seem to want to."
"It seems that the Taoist still doesn't believe in our sincerity......"
The woman's eyes lowered for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she was much calmer and said with a smile: "That's it, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, and if you exchange it, you exchange it...... It's just that the Taoist wants us to guard the ghost city in the world now, so what about the other exchange we talked about with the Taoist before? The dispute between the Taoist and the heavens, doesn't he need our help? ”
"I am very grateful to be able to guard the ghost town and benefit the yin spirit."
"Wan Jiang has another idea."
"Please."
Song said with a salute.
"What we said before, another exchange, or the same, when many years later, the Taoist needs to use us, and needs an ancient power to help the Taoist compete with the sky, we will use the fox ancestor to cut off the tail and the hundred years of longevity to borrow the power of the ancient power, help the Taoist to help, go all out, life and death without regrets, if we are lucky enough to survive with the Taoist, the Taoist only gives us half an elixir."
The woman also stared straight at him, her eyes deep and calm, and she paused as she spoke:
"As for the ghost city in the world, it's only been more than ten years, and we have been in Changjing for ten years, and we have waited for hundreds of years before Changjing, and we have to burn it for another hundred years, and I don't care about another ten years of boring.
"As long as the Taoist chief opens his mouth and asks us for help, like old friends, we are willing to guard here for the Taoist for ten years, until the underworld is condensed, without asking for anything in return.
"It's just that in this way, we don't have time to leave the inheritance, so we have to invite a few of the remaining juniors of my Yuezhou fox clan to come here, and Wan Jiang will hand over the inheritance of cultivation spells to them, and after more than ten years, Wan Jiang will leave this place, still help each other, fight with the sky, and have no regrets in life and death."
In that moment, the Daoist's gaze also flickered.
It was the Sanhua Niangniang who had run to his feet and squatted down at some point, and when she heard the words, she also sat upright and stared at the fox in a daze.
"How?"
The woman stared straight at him.
"I've been underestimating the past ten years. The reason why the Heavenly Palace is so helpless is not all because of the mana of Zaixia, but more because Zai Xia has a legal advantage in this matter, and as soon as we leave, Tiangong will inevitably find some way to snatch the power of the priesthood of the underworld. The ghost city needs the yin and yang spiritual power to maintain its operation, and it also needs to assist King Yue Shenjun to resist the pressure. Song You was silent for a moment before he said, "When you help heaven and earth successfully condense the underworld, you will present a whole elixir of immortality in the next step, and then you can slowly leave the inheritance of the fox clan and seek the path of the nine tails." ”
"The Taoist is really ruthless......"
"I have also been sincere with my feet."
"That's it, I originally said that I would meet the Taoist chief again in Yangdu, but now it seems that there is no chance." The woman lowered her gaze and looked at the ground, "But it's okay, if you can't ask for the sincerity of the Dao Chief, it's not bad to ask for an immortal and a nine-tail, maybe it's easier than the original." ”
"On the day of the condensation of the underworld, the elixir of immortality will be offered."
"Or just half a piece!"
"Why?"
"That Chang Yuanzi doesn't know, doesn't the Dao Chang know either?" The fox looked at him with a grin, "What's the difference between eating one and eating half and eating ten?" ”
"Reasonable."
Song You nodded calmly.
Although the national teacher is extremely smart, after all, the Tao is meager, he doesn't know the things of the ancients, and he can't touch the way of heaven, so he naturally doesn't know that the way of heaven has long been forbidden to live forever.
The national teacher also wants to practice the Ten Furnaces of Immortal Pill and seek longevity for ten thousand years.
Yes –
The immortality sought by the national teacher is 10,000 years.
But he didn't know that the Heavenly Dao did not allow immortality, and it had already cut off most of the immortal paths in the world, even if he found a new path of immortality, it would be cut off again for hundreds of years or thousands of years at most.
Eating one will live for hundreds of years, eating half will live for hundreds of years, and ten will only live for a few hundred years.
The difference may be, but it's not huge.
Song You wasn't sure for a while, the fox demon only asked for half one, whether it was the reason or not.
"Thank you."
"It's just an exchange, the Taoist chief has asked for the underworld, and we have asked for immortality, how can we talk about thanks?" The fox demon's voice was still calm, but it was much quieter, and he paused for a while before saying, "But when Wanjiang is seeking immortality, he often thinks about a question. ”
"Please."
"Daoist, you say, in the world a thousand years later, which dynasty and generation, and what kind of world will the world be like at that time?"
"Have you thought about a thousand years later?"
"yes." The woman said, "In fact, not only people have civilization, there are history books, and we demons also have them. It's just that demons and humans have different ways of remembering history. ”
“……”
"When a person writes about major historical events, he can write a book in ten years, a basket in a hundred years, and a house in a thousand years, which may not be enough. But in the history of demons, there is only one book for a thousand years. ”
The woman said and smiled slightly:
"With the character of the Taoist, if you come to read the history books of the demon, I think the Taoist will find it very interesting - in the history books of the demon, the time span is very large, and when Wanjiang read it, it only took two days to read it for thousands of years. It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, the nobles in the world died and had to be buried with living people, and even the gods in the sky had to be sacrificed with living people or human heads.
"Sometimes I think about it, although they were both ruled by the emperor then and now, they are not much different, but they are like two completely different worlds from now. So Wan Jiang often wondered, what will the world become like in a few hundred thousand years? ”
"Maybe it will change more than it was a thousand years ago to the present." Song You said.
"Really?"
"After cultivating the nine-tails, you can see it yourself."
"Nature." The woman's eyes were in a trance, "It's just that when I think that the world at that time has become new, it is a different dynasty, the world sings different poems and rhythms, and has different cultural habits, and when I think that I want to go to that strange era to see that world, look around me, but I can't find an old person, I feel a great loneliness." It seems that when the late river first opened his wisdom, he walked alone on the empty field. Wan Jiang still remembers that it was dusk. ”
"There's a tail under your feet."
"Yes."
The woman smiled slightly and saluted: "Wanjiang will guard this place, please let the Taoist leave." ”
"Farewell."
The woman looked at them in silence.
When the Taoist turned to leave, and gradually walked away, and the cat at his feet looked back at them as she walked, and when she was also far away, she withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and pondered on the spot.
“……”
The woman opened her eyes and didn't say anything, only exhaled.
"Hoo ......"
The bluestone piano platform in front of him dissipated with the wind, and the guqin also turned into green smoke and scattered in the air.
The woman turned around, only took one step, and turned into the eight-tailed fox demon body, she no longer looked at the Taoist in the distance, bent down and jumped, stepped into the air, and in a blink of an eye she reached the edge of this ghost city in the world - it was far away from the center of the ghost city and belonged to three different directions with the mansion of King Yue Shenjun and the empty temple of Buddhism.
The fox demon has eight tails and sits upright.
Then his eyes were closed—
"Bo Bo ......"
Behind him, a seed sprouted, broke through the soil from the almost illusory land, and grew rapidly, growing into a huge plum tree in the blink of an eye, with lush branches and leaves, as if to shield the fox demon from the wind and rain.
Almost at the same time, the eight-tailed fox turned into a stone sculpture from the bottom up and sat here.
……
Two days later, in the empty temple.
The monk came here with a wooden cane, weak and coughing.
The two big ghosts were still with him.
As early as when Hezhou returned to the county and relieved the demon plague patients, he spent too much life, and when he walked to Fengzhou, he was not far from the end of his life, and he had been in the ghost town for more than half a year, and he had already run out of oil and dried up.
The temple is also small, only large enough to accommodate one person.
The monk almost stooped in, and after an explanation to the two great ghosts, he put the wooden staff upside down, and sat down cross-legged.
Take out the rosary, close your eyes and bow your head, and recite the scriptures silently.
After reciting the scriptures, the rosary suddenly fell.
The monk's head also hung deeply.
“……”
The incense and wish power of heaven and earth came from all over the world, and also from the ghost city, and the yin spirit instantly forged a divine body for him.
The monk walked out of the small temple again, his face calm.
When I looked back, there was only one body in the temple.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
The monk waved his hand in that direction.
Suddenly the flesh turned into a statue, as if it were made of wood, without a mouth, nose, ears or eyes, as if it had not yet been carved.
The monk withdrew his gaze and walked away.
The two big ghosts also followed left and right.
……
Song You had already packed his bags, took the jujube red horse, and walked to the gate of the ghost city.
I don't know how many yin officials and ghosts will be sent behind him.
"Where is the Immortal Master going?"
"Travel the world, collect all the five lands by the way, and create a hell for you."
"When will the Immortal Master come back?"
"I'll come back on the day I condense the Underworld."
"Immortal ......"
"There's the sun ahead, don't send it far away."
Many Yin officials and ghost generals stopped, and there were countless ghost city Yin Spirits behind them.
Regardless of whether it was good or evil in life, and how meritorious it was, they all gathered here at this time, looking up at the Taoist.
The ghosts had different expressions, but they were all grateful.
Since the early spring of last year, when the Taoists first came here, they have seen everything they do.
Thinking about it carefully, the Taoist is neither a ghost nor has he ever benefited from it, and with his ability to reach the sky, he can not only be with the national teacher, but also walk with the heavenly palace, no matter which way he goes, he can rely on the underworld and countless yin spirits to obtain huge benefits, but he didn't, even if he left at this time, he walked so indifferently and freely, and he didn't even stay a few more days. Even the most stupid ghosts know what Taoists do. But even the smartest ghost can't necessarily figure out why he's the way he is.
Song You just stopped and turned around, and looked at the ghost town again.
The ghost city in the middle is about to be repaired, and the four halls of the mansion are temporarily set up, belonging to the underworld and the yin spirit, the outer edge is in three different directions, the god emperor stands at the door of the mansion, raising a glass and wishing him a distance, there is only a faceless wooden statue in the low temple on the other side, the fox demon turns into a stone carving, and is lonely and independent of the distance.
"Where's the fox tail?"
The voice of Sanhua Niangniang came from beside her.
During this year, in addition to entertaining herself, Sanhua Niangniang often went to play with the fox's tail when she practiced work, and it was said that she had a lot of fun, at least the fox's tail would eat what she caught.
"The fox's tail is naturally on the fox." Song You replied casually, and before many yin spirits were about to kneel down again, he turned around and left, "Let's go, Sanhua Niangniang." ”
"Oh!"
Sanhua Cat immediately followed him.
Jujube red horses and swallows also followed.
Behind him, King Yue Shenjun drank all the contents of the cup, and the monks sitting cross-legged in the ghost town closed their eyes, and even the stone statue of the fox seemed to open its eyes.
The sun outside is so bright and dazzling.
When I first went out, the sky and the earth were snow-white.
The pupils of the three-flowered cat instantly became a narrow vertical slit, and Song You also narrowed his eyes, and when he regained his sight in front of him, it was already a bright spring.
