Chapter 147: The Turtle of Ten Friends, Building the Hades
The Turtle of the Ten Friends.
Tang Ping flipped through the ancient books, and through the description of the candlelight and the clues on the ancient books, he probably guessed the identities of the ten turtles on the mysterious mountain.
That's the Tortoise of the Ten Friends.
The ancients said: The tortoise of ten friends, one is called the divine turtle, the second is the spirit turtle, the third is the turtle, the fourth is the treasure turtle, the fifth is the Wen turtle, the sixth is the Xiao turtle, the seventh is the mountain turtle, the eighth is the Ze turtle, the ninth is the water turtle, and the tenth is the fire turtle.
The turtle was closely associated with the priest, who interpreted the lines on the turtle's shell to receive guidance from the gods, or to predict good luck and evil.
The Ten Peng Turtle is the divine turtle used by the Emperor of Heaven for divination, and after hundreds of thousands of years, life has been reborn from the turtle shell.
The mysterious mountain range, Tang Ping named it Wushan.
And the tribe on Wushan also probably knows something, and this tribe is called Daxi.
The Daxi culture disappeared 90,000 years ago, and it was a tribe that did not form a country, headed by the high priest, who was the head of the theocracy, and the sacrifice to the gods was the only activity of the tribe.
The purpose of the tribe's existence is for the gods, who receive offerings from humans to survive, and they also need a large number of believers.
Therefore, there is a certain reason why the Daxi tribe is interested in the Chu State.
"Hmph, want to pick peaches? See who wins whom. Tang Ping sneered.
The idea of the Daxi people is very simple, it is nothing more than to see that the development of the south is almost the same, and they want to come out to pick peaches.
The master is a master of traveling, and the sacrifices under him include dining and refining.
In terms of combat power, Tang Ping and Xiaoming Candlelight are not inferior to them, and if they dare to come, they will dare to die anyway. Of course, these people are estimated to be similar to God's fighting, and their combat effectiveness cannot be seen just from the surface.
Therefore, we still have to be very vigilant, and the root still appears above the ten tortoises.
It is useless to destroy the Daxi tribe, without a Daxi tribe, there will be a new Daxi tribe coming out in the future, and there will only be more and more enemies.
So at all, it is in the Ten Turtles, and how to take them down is the key.
Otherwise, it can only be said that it is a failure.
As for how to enter into it and successfully conclude the pact, this is another difficulty.
After all, that place doesn't accept outsiders at all.
And when you conclude the contract, the surrounding environment will fluctuate instantaneously, although it will be fleeting, but the master will definitely be able to react, and then you must be interrupted, after all, it takes time to conclude the contract, ranging from a quarter of an hour to half an hour.
So the most difficult part is here, and the others are secondary.
While Tang Ping was thinking, he unconsciously walked out of the palace and sat in the pavilion by the pond.
The bright moon is like a pearl, reflecting the dark lake water.
In the center of the lake is a jade toad, the jade toad looks up at the sky, its body surface is covered with the sun and the moon, and the same is true of the stone Weng on the other side.
Other than that, there was silence all around, the flowers were no longer blooming, and the birds and insects seemed to be asleep.
Only a young man in a white robe was thinking.
The young man has long hair like ink, eyes as bright as stars, his skin is not white, like the jade of the Jade Mountain, his teeth are neat, and his physique is tasteless.
Most places in this era were in a state of primitive tribes, and even if they were physically strong, they would inevitably have a short life due to living conditions and food.
Especially teeth, it is very rare for teeth to be used completely until the age of thirty, so people with straight and white teeth are also regarded as immortals, and straight teeth are a kind of fairy vision.
Just as Tang Ping was thinking about it, the surrounding environment suddenly lit up.
He looked up and saw that the flowers were in full bloom, and the peonies were blooming, and the sea of flowers was very gorgeous.
The light gathered, incarnated into a woman in white, with a gentle temperament, a beautiful appearance, and eyebrows like smoke.
"Peony? Why haven't you rested yet? ”
"I see that the Lord of God is worried, is there something troublesome? Also, is this sea of flowers beautiful? ”
"It's beautiful." Tang Ping nodded.
Most of these words are polite, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, after hundreds of years, it is also a little boring.
Emotions are the easiest to fade, and what remains eternal is only one's own way.
"There are troubles, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it."
"God can ask others, maybe others have a way."
"You're right, but who to ask?"
"Me." Peony smiled, and the brilliance of the moment even overshadowed the splendor of the sea of flowers.
"Why? What's in the matter? Tang Ping said in surprise, the peony gate is not out of the second door, in addition to cultivation all day long, is sleeping, do you also know this?
"I don't know what's going on yet, but maybe you can share it with me."
"Okay, you sit." Tang Ping pointed to the opposite position, "I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Okay."
Peony sat opposite, jade hands on her cheeks.
"I'm going to listen too!!"
A crisp girlish voice.
I saw that as soon as the black clouds in the sky closed, a black-haired girl appeared, her eyes were smart, her eyes were shallow, and her smile was like a colorful glow.
After years of cultivation, Yao Ji's appearance is no different from that of a mortal girl, and there were some visions before.
"Okay, you sit down too."
Tang Ping doesn't care, they have been companions for many years, and there is no secret to say so.
Calculating the time, he is also more than a thousand years old, and this amount is still there.
Tang Ping told the story of the incident.
Of course, it is naturally inconvenient to say that this involves their own fundamental secret, and knowing this secret is not beneficial to them, but will lead to death.
I just talked about the difficulty of infiltrating and the difficulty of making the relevant arrangements later.
"Have you figured out a way?" Tang Ping quipped.
"I thought of it."
"Really?"
"Sure enough." Peony didn't sell it anymore, and said the plan in his heart, "Since the god said that there are no outsiders in that place, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave." What about the grass and trees? ”
"Are you going to go over? It's also too dangerous. ”
"Me?" Peony shook her head and said, "The little girl can't do it. ”
The specific reason is basically that the peony flowers are too conspicuous, belonging to the king of flowers, and the first thing that others definitely notice is the peony.
And the more important thing is not this, people who know the Chu State know that the peony is the divine flower of the Chu State, the flower of the gods, and many mortals regard the peony pattern as a symbol of the house and settle down, which is the architectural feature of the Chu State.
Only the peony flowers of Chu can bloom all the time.
Let Peony go undercover in the past, wouldn't it tell others that the Chu State sent a traitor?
"Who are your candidates?"
"Do you remember the epiphany god back then? This demon is the most suitable. ”
Back then, the epiphany was the one that always bloomed, and it could bloom all over a city overnight, and it couldn't be killed no matter how much it was killed.
If it weren't for Tang Ping's mouth with Tianxian, the nature of this demon's life changed, from blooming all year round to blooming once a year, and it was still late at night, which greatly reduced the strength of the Epiphany God, otherwise I am afraid that many people would have to die to solve it.
"That's good."
"There are clouds in Wushan, maybe its cloud qi can be absorbed by Yao Ji, which can also solve the problem that Yao Ji has no cultivation method."
Until now, Yao Ji has not had a definite method of cultivation. As atmospheric beings, many things are void to them, and there used to be Dan Qi to absorb them, but now it is not much use to transform into shapes.
Yao Ji said, "Yes, as long as I don't take the initiative to expose it, they won't find out about me." ”
The essence of the cloud is the cloud, and naturally it will not be noticed by people.
"Understood, I'll go to find Epiphany later, and as for Yaoji's matter, I'll talk about it when Epiphany comes back from inquiring about it."
I don't know which barren mountain and wild mountain the epiphany grows in, this is not a problem, just let others find it.
"Thank you Peony, it seems that I still underestimate the heroes of the world." Tang Ping solemnly thanked.
"The Lord used to ask us a lot, but he didn't ask us all these years." Peony looked a little lonely.
"Really? No, you think too much, go back and rest first, and talk about it tomorrow if you have something. ”
Tang Ping sent the two away.
He was the only one left in the pavilion.
In fact, Peony is right, he does reduce the opportunity to contact people.
I don't know the new generation, and the new generation doesn't know me.
The main thing is that he has lived too long, Tang Ping has lived for a thousand years.
I once remembered the frogs, Zhang Qi, Xiong Ying and the old man Gongsun I knew when I was at the end of the day...... I can't remember the names of the rest.
These people are the ones who really see their own joys and sorrows, not the cold gods of the present.
Looking back on the past, there is the longing for the old people, the happiness of the enemy, and the relief of some regrets.
Although he is the lord of the underworld, he is powerless in the face of complete death.
True eternal life is what all human beings seek all their lives.
The glory of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors has not disappeared with the passage of time.
Tang Ping doesn't have contact with people, and he doesn't want to let himself have too many feelings, watching the people around him leave one by one, sooner or later, he will lose his corresponding emotions like watching a sea of flowers, and turn into cold stones.
That's why he rarely comes into contact with strangers.
With the passage of time, Zhang Wulang, Peony, Du Yu, and Yao Ji are estimated to leave, and Tang Pingke will really become a loner at that time.
Is it really a blessing to live forever?
Of course, for the current Tang Ping, this is indeed the case.
However, the premise of immortality must be leisurely, otherwise without leisure, immortality will be meaningless.
Early morning.
The morning sun is rising, the morning fog has not yet dissipated, and the temperature is a little cold.
There is a nameless barren mountain somewhere in the mountains, there is a flower among the weeds, the flower buds are closed, and the weeds next to it are all nutrient with it, and it seems that it has no status.
Tang Ping suddenly appeared here, saw the flowers at a glance, and said, "Wake up." ”
Chrysostom and jade words, the epiphany is in full bloom.
The beauty of epiphany is no less than that of peony, but peony is noble and atmospheric, epiphany is a little more demonic, and it itself cannot be put on the table, and it is at best a second in the script.
"Transfiguration."
A green light appears above the epiphany, and the green light converges into a human form.
It was an extremely ugly man, with messy green hair like a chicken's nest, brown bags protruding from his face, like a nodule at the root of a tree, and his skin was dry bark.
"Sinners worship the gods." The voice that came out was an old woman.
"Huh? Substitution? Tang Ping was surprised.
"Yes, the previous one is gone. Although the sinner inherited his memory, he was not alone. ”
The epiphany race claims to be immortal, but in fact it is the resurrection of the body, and the soul is not the same person, but only inherits the memory.
Tang Ping opened his eyes, and at a glance, he did verify what Tan Hua said, it was not the original person, but an old woman, who just looked like a man.
"Well, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions......
Tang Ping said the plan and added again: "If this matter is successful, you will be allowed to bloom all year round in the future, and you will be given a divine position." ”
"Thank you to the gods, the sinners will go to the soup and fire, and they will also fulfill the instructions of the gods!"
The god of epiphany knelt down and swore that she knew that this was the only chance to turn over, and if she didn't cherish it, she might have to be with the weeds again.
The next day, the epiphany god was ready to go to the Wushan area.
After that, there was one more flower near Wushan.
This flower is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is still a long way from being discovered and cultivated.
The nail is planted, and the information will come from time to time, and Tang Ping handed over this matter to Xiaoming Candlelight, anyway, they urgently need to get the news of Shun and the second concubine.
Tang Ping's life calmed down again.
The number of yin and yang soils, populations, resources, and gods has grown steadily, and so have the cultivation.
The progress of the Feather Flying Ascension Sutra's Dining Xia chapter exceeded 30,000. The Canghai Candle Flame was refined by the Ten Thousand Fire God Mantra, and its lifespan was increased by five hundred years.
Tang Ping roughly calculated, and now the total life span is 2,450 years.
He is 1,000 years old, and he has 1,400 years to live.
"Come again to the fire and phoenix fire of the Chu country."
Tang Ping found a way to stabilize the life of the brush, that is, to constantly absorb the flames, and there was no other way.
Underworld.
Ghosts don't see the earth, and people don't see the wind.
The earth, which no mortal can reach, is actually a place where ghosts live.
Underworld.
This place is dark all year round, like the evening when the sun has just set, the gray sky, and the bloody moon.
The tone of the whole underworld is grayish-black, and the inhabitants have gray faces, some have no heads, some have no hands, and some have a deep scar on their necks.
This is a ghost.
Ghosts are also known as ghosts and geistels.
After death, the soul dies within forty-nine days, but there is a certain chance that it will become a ghost, and the ghost can live for up to eighty-nine years.
Generally, it is difficult for people to become ghosts at the end of their lives, and the probability of people dying is relatively high.
As the population of Chu increased, so did the number of ghosts and gods in the underworld.
The population of Chu has exceeded 100 million, and the ghosts of the underworld are at least 30 million.
Looking down from the sky, majestic cities rise from the ground.
Ghosts live in it like living beings in the sun, and there are many homeless ghosts roaming the land and killing each other.
The ghosts here are not only from the Chu State, but also many enemy soldiers who died in battle, as well as some savage tribes, and alien races in the deep mountains and old forests.
The more ghosts there are, the more they die.
When a ghost dies, it will turn into yin qi and return to the underworld.
The concentration of yin qi in the underworld is getting higher and higher, even exceeding the limit of the environment, and the yin qi is the filthy qi of heaven and earth, which means that something terrible is about to happen.
Rumble!
On this day, there was a violent shaking of the whole underworld.
The city fell, and many ghosts and gods were wiped out on the spot.
In the yin soil, one by one, big monsters with strange appearances and a height of 100 feet crawled out.
They have a violent personality, eat ghosts, and are not afraid of injury, no matter how many injuries they have, as long as they eat ghosts, they can recover.
The number of demons in the underworld is increasing, and it has alarmed the gods of all sides at once.
"It's not good, hurry up and report to the Divine Lord!!"
