Chapter 9: The Path and the Four Pillars
An hour later.
The modified off-road vehicle soared wildly in the barren field, and the heavy roar of the power furnace drove away the small beasts along the way.
"Why? Why do you say? Why did Tahish become the 'sign' of a great man? ”
Zhao Qianjun sat in the driver's seat and spittle, stepped on the accelerator, the car drove as if it was about to fly, and the sour Gu Jiancheng was about to cover his mouth and nose.
"Yes, Lao Tzu knows that he is lucky, the empire has not had a dependent who has been watched by the stars for a hundred years, and this identity alone can allow him to ascend to the sky and directly enter the upper realm of the empire."
"But can dependents and road signs be the same thing?! Do you just say he's worthy! ”
"The founding king of the royal family, when he went to this realm where birds don't to open up a kingdom and work all his life, didn't he just spread the name of the stars, and wanted to become a beacon of the stars? As a result, he didn't succeed until he died, and he got the identity of a dependent. He, Heath Arthur, is good, and he goes straight to the sky in one step! ”
"You say, what is he Hiss Arthur worthy of being a great man who has placed the traces of his own existence on the [Sign]?"
"Phew! What about the [stars] that are said to be high, great, and public? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in the stars anymore! Lao Tzu wants to switch to the command of [Ten Thousand Armies]! ”
The Host is the other of the Four Pillars.
Gu Jiancheng: (a''one)
This damn fat man is endless?
The sour smell overflowed so much that he almost covered his mouth and nose.
On the one hand, he had to endure the dead fat man's chatter and sour words, and on the other hand, he had to hold on to the handle of the car to make sure that he did not bounce more than a meter up and down the car.
"Do you know how to drive! Can you stabilize it? Gu Jiancheng finally couldn't help it, and said angrily, "No, let Lao Tzu come!" ”
Zhao Qianjun was stunned for a moment, and then said with some grievances: "The surname is Gu, you brothers are all bastards!" The eggs that I envy hurt so much, can't you let me take a car to vent?! ”
Gu Jiancheng was incomprehensible.
This fat man can accept Hiss as a star favorite, but he can't accept Hiss as a landmarker or anything in any way.
What the hell is this "road marker"?
"If you want to speak, make it clear!" Gu Jiancheng didn't have a good breath and said, "I don't even know what the Dao mark is, you expect me to empathize with you?" ”
"Uhhh
With a piercing and sharp grinding sound, the off-road vehicle drifted sideways to a halt, leaving two deep ruts.
The fat man who braked on the emergency took a long breath and calmed down a lot.
He lit a cigarette and sighed:
"Only in front of you will I develop a sense of pride in being knowledgeable."
Gu Jiancheng's smile gradually became kinder.
The fat man hurriedly spoke:
"At the end of every complete path stands a god. Whether it is the Warlock Path or the Star Path, going back to the ancients, you can find the original source, the difference is only that the source of some paths is dead, and some are eternal. ”
"For all spirits, the path is to embark on an extraordinary path, but for the gods, it is the 'anchor' to stabilize themselves."
"The more powerful the gods, the farther away from the earthly world, in order not to get lost in the boundless [Origin River], the weak gods establish their own divine kingdom, the powerful ancient gods choose to spread the path, the more creatures that embark on the path, the stronger they are, the more stable the anchor they maintain their bodies."
"Usually embarking on the path is equivalent to becoming a dependant of that old god, and the Hiss we discussed last night is one of those ......"
Speaking of Hiss, the fat man's face showed a little tangled and said,
And the road sign ...... Let's use an analogy, if the average family member is a classmate of the son of a distant cousin and neighbor, his mother, the road sign is a proper son. ”
"In some weak kingdom of gods, that is the Holy Son, one man below ten thousand people."
"Heath Arthur was chosen as a landmark, and in our empire, it is the equivalent of an immortal bird in a nest of pheasants."
The metaphor is very good.
Gu Jiancheng instantly completed his empathy and said indignantly: "He really deserves to die!" ”
I originally thought that dependents were already the limit, but I didn't expect that there was a pro-son project above.
"Who?" The fat man hadn't reacted yet.
"Hiss!"
"Oh, he really deserves to die!" The fat man was greatly relieved and praised Gu Jiancheng's lost knowledge.
"Is there any harm in this thing?" Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked, "It sounds like becoming a sign of the gods, it doesn't feel like a good thing, didn't the instructor say that the gifts of the gods are clearly marked, and sooner or later you will have to repay them with your soul?" ”
Although he didn't know exactly what the road sign was for, he was roughly clear about the meaning of the road mark.
He now couldn't agree more with the fat man's words, and that was "Hiss on his ground".
The favor of the stars can be interpreted as good luck.
But the magnitude of the road mark is not explained by good luck.
For the gods, there is no point in looking at and giving away.
Something important must have happened to Hiss, so important that even the supreme star did not hesitate to choose him as his own guideline, and he had to be under control at any time!
This made Gu Jiancheng a little panicked.
Hiss Why?
With him, does he have a handsome, handsome, empathetic, intelligent and lovely brother?
"That's right!" The fat man nodded, "That's what the instructor of the training camp warned us about at the beginning, but this is the first half of the sentence, except for the second half of the sentence 'Great One'. ”
"Did you say that?" Gu Jiancheng said suspiciously.
"Yes, but you fell asleep in the second half of the sentence, and I saw it." The fat man said calmly.
Gu Jiancheng: (a''one)
That's the disadvantage of being a "classmate for many years"!
"There is a limit to the path, and the limit depends on the god who is the source."
"Weak gods seldom reveal their path to the public, because once a creature reaches the point of approaching them, the divine war begins, and in order to secure the throne, they must find a way to deal with those who are close to them."
"There are not a few spirits who have usurped the divine position through this way, and the source of the warlock's path has changed several times."
"In the same way, there are not a few gods who use signs to harm others."
The fat man spread his hands and said,
"This thing goes both ways, and you can't distinguish between good and bad alone."
"Becoming a sign of those weak gods, or some evil gods, is mostly beneficial for a while and harmful for a lifetime, but the powerful ancient gods are another story, especially the [Four Pillars] in the 'Great One'."
"Because they are too powerful."
"Each of them has gone too far and too far in the path under their feet, so far that even the gods cannot reach them, and they are themselves miracles that cannot be replicated."
"In the most popular legend, the Lord of the Stars chose the former between 'Exalting the Stars' and 'Standing High in the Stars'."
"The difference between one word and one word is a world of difference - those who hold up the stars bear the life of all souls!"
"You should have heard the legend of [the stars save all souls], in fact, it is not a legend, but a reality."
"The Great Supreme Stars have imprinted their own Tao and Reason into the [Long River of Origin] and communicated with the vast stars of the endless universe, which is a feat that no other 'Great' can interfere with! He single-handedly suppressed the 'Great Tide of Silence' that lasted for countless eons, ended the cycle of harvesting on the other side, and completely saved all beings in the world. ”
"If it weren't for Him, you and I wouldn't be sitting here, because countless worlds would have ushered in the Age of Great Destruction 10,000 years ago!"
"That's why even though the stars never accept any faith, the world still 'obsessively' pursues the way of the stars!"
The fat man was stunned word by word, his expression was extremely serious, and there was no hint of joke.
"He saved the world at the cost of eternal sleep, and became an anchor for the stability of the realm, and the world chased after him, and became his anchor for stability!"
The reason why the Four Pillars are recognized and revered by all souls is not only because they have enough "power to sustain the world", but also because they are willing to sustain the world! ”
He spoke impassionedly, and at the end his face was red, and his expression was excited and proud.
Gu Jiancheng didn't know where his pride came from.
Didn't this product just threaten to break away from the embrace of the stars and switch to [Hosts]?
In order to combat the arrogance of the fat man, he asked a very concise question.
"What about [Great Abyss]?"
The fat man opened his mouth slightly, his arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he became dumb in an instant.
If the stars saved all spirits at the cost of losing their freedom, then where is the Great Abyss, which is also the Four Pillars, and what has He done?
Why is it that the deeds of the Four Pillars, who are also the Four Pillars, have not been spread among the mouths of the world like the Lord of the Stars?
Seeing that the fat man was speechless, he couldn't say a word for a long time-
Gu Jiancheng vaguely understood something.
Is this why the supreme star chose Hiss as the road marker?
He must have wanted to know where his former comrades had gone.
And why are the heroes of the past being forgotten by this world?
Gu Jiancheng rolled up his cuffs, and his right arm was bare in the sunlight outside the car window.
The mark of the ancient snake, which had scared him yesterday, suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
The stars chose Hiss as a signpost, but what about themselves?
I don't know if it's an illusion......
He seemed to see the ancient snake in his palm winking at him.
When he looked again with his eyes wide open, he found nothing.
The sun rises from the far other side of the wilderness.
The dust kicked up in the air was visible through the sunlight.
A strange and familiar sleepiness gradually swept over him, engulfing him.
The fat man on the side was still whispering that the King of the Great Abyss might not be the [Four Pillars] at all, otherwise how could this world forget such a great existence as the Lord of the Stars......
He felt a little noisy.
I thought it would be better to take a nap.
If this time it was still the same dream, he wanted to know what the name of the blonde girl possessed by him was.
"That's right!" The fat man seemed to think of something, and said in an excited tone, "There is a legend that [Great Abyss] is known as the king of evil gods and the lord of demon gods, carrying all the hells and abysses, and you say that his merits ......"
His voice stopped abruptly.
The morning sun gradually rose, and the young man in the passenger seat fell asleep with his eyes closed against the window.
Zhao Qianjun scratched his head, muttered a few words, slowly started the off-road vehicle, and drove towards the rising sun in the distance.
This way, the car drove very smoothly.
