Volume 1 The Back of Gods and Demons Chapter 9 Nuwa Mends the Sky

Jushan saw that this bowl was treasured by this master, and made a sound of gold and stone, I don't know what it was made of, and it was quite exquisite under the dirt, so I guess I could exchange some mutton to eat when I went out.

He said silently in his heart: Master, I have no disrespect, this bowl rolled in front of my eyes. He put the bowl on his body and pushed open the heavy stone door, but inside was a larger grotto, the stone wall was inlaid with countless night pearls, illuminating the grotto as bright as day.

As far as the eye can see, the top, bottom, left, right, front and back six stone walls are all exquisite murals. The story on this painting was also told to him by the master, and it was a bit familiar.

In fact, this magnificent mural can be roughly divided into two layers: the lower layer is painted with Dayu controlling the water in the world, and the upper layer is painted with Nuwa mending the sky in the divine realm.

Jushan remembered the vision of the words in the cave in front of him, so he repeated the technique and began to recite aloud again. He learned those Buddhist classics scattered and couldn't remember them clearly, but he never forgot the "Tao Te Ching" he just read on the road:

"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless world; The Mother of All Things...... The five colors are blinding; The pentatonic tone is deafening; The five flavors are refreshing; galloping and hunting, making people mad; Rare goods, people are in trouble. It is to take the saint as the belly and not for the purpose, so go to the other side to take this ......"

After he finished reciting the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, he found nothing except shaking off some dust in the hole and coughing a few times.

But this time, Jushan was not restless. He sat cross-legged in meditation and calmed down and thought: the way out of the grotto in front of him is in the scriptures, so the way out here must also be in this painting. It seems that if you don't read the story in this painting carefully, you may not be able to get out.

The layout of this mural is neat, magnificent, but painstaking. The picture is from the bottom to the top, from the human world to the heavenly court, meandering away, those landscapes are realistic and smooth, the characters are vivid, and the colors are extremely luxurious: golden gold powder, vermilion cinnabar, azure malachite, the painting is exquisite and expressive, I don't know how much effort was spent.

Jushan didn't dare to slack off, looking at the past one by one, as if he was flipping a picture scroll history book, and each picture was a playback of an epic, which made him want to stop. The picture grew taller and taller, and his diminutive stature could no longer reach those subtleties.

He used the secret technique of "gecko swimming" in yoga kung fu and climbed all the way up along the mural.

Let's take a look at the story in this painting with him:

Originally from the Yellow Emperor after the dragon ascended, the lord of the Middle Earth was passed down from generation to generation, and when Emperor Zhuan Xu succeeded to the throne, the celestial phenomena were different: the sun and the moon were combined, and the five stars were aligned. This was followed by several years of heavy rains.

For a time, the rich Middle Earth became a country of Wanli Ze, and the people did not survive even more. Kun used the "water barrier method" (note: simply put, it is to protect the river and castle with earth and rock, and let the water) protect the upper castle, but after nine years, the water control failed, and he was killed in Hayama. Emperor Zhuan also sent his son Xi (si) Wenming (note: Dayu's name) to continue to control the water.

Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu, and later it is said that he was born in the body of Gonggong. After many years of obscurity, the demon clan finally accumulated a strong strength again, and resisted the oppression of heaven and the world together with the co-workers, and with the help of two trolls, Wuzhiqi and Xiangliu, the Zhuan Xuan was defeated one after another.

Finally, when Dayu controlled the water, he dug out the divine hibiscus jade in the dragon of the Furong Peak of Yandang Mountain, and paid tribute to the heavenly court, so he invited the gods of the heavenly court to help. That Wuzhi Qi is an old ape with great powers, but he cherishes his hair and often goes to the puddle with oil in the lake to bake oil - to maintain his hair.

The Tongtian Sect Master and the gods designed an ambush in the lard swing on the shore of Hongze Lake, and severely damaged Wuzhiqi. Later, he chased and killed all the way, and finally asked for a "mountain moving technique" and killed him on the coast of the East China Sea with Guishan Town; And Xiang Liu, who had the body of a hydra, was besieged by Yang Jian, the Four Great Heavenly Masters and others, and borrowed the Divine Soldier Blazing Flame Bow and Cold Soul Arrow to shoot off the nine heads, and finally killed them on the shore of Dongting Lake.

Heavenly Court and Zhuan Xuan broke the demons, and the co-workers were injured by the Yuqing Sword of the Yuan Shi Tianzun and fled to the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "What bullshit Sanqing, I am Kyushu Zhengshuo, the descendant of the ancient snake clan!" If Lao Tzu had jade, how could he be defeated! Since the heavens will not allow me, what use do I want this day to have? "Anyway, I hit my head and died without going to Zhoushan.

This Buzhou Mountain is one of the five pillars of the Heavenly Court of Middle-earth, the Heavenly Pillar collapsed, the sky tilted to the northwest, the earth fell to the southeast, the sky cover (note: the sky cover is both the ceiling of the world, and the ground of the heavenly court) leaked out of the big hole, the heavenly river fell from the sky, flying straight down 30,000 miles, it is really the Milky Way falling into the world!

Although the magnificence of this scene can be described in words, in this way, the monstrous flood is even more surging and irresistible......

At this time, most of the divine power of the gods has been exhausted, and there is no jade to replenish, there is nothing to be done, and this prosperous world is about to be destroyed...... If the human world is destroyed, the heavenly realm and the underworld will no longer have essence and blood to support them, and the prosperity of the eyes can only be destroyed in one fell swoop, and the three realms will also end up with it......

The Tongtian Sect Master remembered a person, and hurriedly flew to the foot of the Holy Maiden Peak of the Great Snow Mountain, and recited the apocalypse mantra: Heaven and earth are abnormal, and the avenue will fall! This awakened the ancient goddess Nuwa Niangniang. When Nuwa saw that the sky was leaking and the earth was flooded, she sighed: "Oh my mother, I am too good at making it!" ”

Seeing the Tianhe rolling down and flowing endlessly, even if Dayu who controls the water below does not go home for the rest of his life, he will not be able to cure this natural and man-made disaster. The height of these five heavenly pillars is precise and neat, and one is missing, so in a hurry, where can you find it again?

Nuwa remembered that the Ten Thousand Year Divine Turtle Clan had been sent to the Wuji Sea to carry five immortal mountains for violating the laws of heaven: Daihe, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Penglai, and Yingzhou. The tortoise has thick limbs and can stretch freely, perhaps supporting the canopy. But legend has it that the turtle was fished by the prince of Lombal and eaten by the people. And the rest were not enough to exchange relays, and they were all crushed to death by Xianshan in the end. After the five immortal mountains were deserted, the 10,000-year-old Divine Turtle Clan was extinct, but apart from their turtle feet, I don't know what else in the world could support heaven and earth!

The gods were at a loss, and the Dragon King of the West Sea suddenly said, "Maybe they are not extinct!" ”

"Where are they now?" The gods asked hurriedly.

In desperation, the old dragon king finally "betrayed" his friend who had lived in seclusion for many years, and told the gods where the last two turtles were hidden.

As a result, the gods gathered at the foot of Mt. Turtle on the coast of the East China Sea. The male turtle laughed miserably: "Friend, but it's also used to betray!" Haha, I can't imagine that the people in the world still have to rely on our two long-lived old turtles, it's ridiculous, ridiculous......" He saw that there was nowhere to escape, and when he came out of the hole, he crashed into the hole, left his beloved wife in the hole, and died alone.

The old dragon king cried outside the cave: "The foolish brother is ashamed of the two, and he is shameless to see each other!" But all living beings in the world are up to two people! "Draw your sword and kill yourself...... was hit by Zhenwu and saved his life.

The male turtle closed his eyes and sighed: "Alas, the old dragon king doesn't have to be like this, this is the fate of ten thousand years." The tens of thousands of turtle eggs laid by my wife and her are buried inside, so there is no need to disturb them...... My leather armor is very thick, and I just wish that the knife I could use would be faster! ”

Nuwa Niangniang couldn't bear to do it, Tongtian had no choice but to shoot, Qingping sword split the sea water in the sea - cut off the turtle head, and when the turtle head flew in the air, she thanked: "So fast!" Thanks a lot! Nuwa tearfully cut off the four feet of the turtle and used it as a "heavenly pillar", which supported the canopy again, but where the canopy was broken, the water of the Tianhe River was still rolling......

Nuwa rode through the hawthorn and arrived at the entrance of the ruins. This ruin is the whirlpool of the infinite sea - the legendary sea water returns, and the sea water on all sides will eventually flow into it, and there is no wind on all sides, and there is an undercurrent surging, only the hawthorn can be reached.

Nuwa sank to the bottom of the ruins tens of thousands of feet deep, and finally fished out the five-colored stone, but she was still pressed by the water of the Infinite Sea and vomited several liters of blood.

The gods worked together to activate the true fire of Samadhi and help her refine the five-colored stone and repair the canopy. For forty-nine days in a row, the gods continued to relay and exhausted their supernatural powers, which made up for the leakage of the sky and resealed the leakage of the heavenly river. The reed ash left by refining the five-color stone is mixed with weak water to form a resting soil, which is used to mend the sky and seal it at the end. (Note: This is the earliest concrete in Middle-earth, Nuwa brand concrete.) )

The great cause of mending the heavens was finally completed, and this day happened to be the twentieth day of the first month. In order to commemorate the feat of the great god Nuwa and the gods, the gods of the Three Realms and the people of the world set this day as the Heavenly Piercing Festival, and the folk customs tied a pancake with a red rope and hung it in the house.

Heavenly piercing is the meaning of the heavens being pierced, in order to warn future generations: the Three Realms were also on the verge of destruction. Terran, it is not easy to be born, don't be too much! Too much, damned by God!
