013, the land of immortals (II)
Wangxian City has been established for 400 years, and unlike other places in Ba Yuan, there have been no wars and natural disasters for such a long time, and the 700 miles of land under its jurisdiction far exceeds any city in Ba Yuan. With a population of more than 30,000 and more than 10,000 demon slaves, it is quite a small country outside the world, and the city lord's mansion is almost a royal palace.
Instead of listening to the introduction, it is better to take a walk and take a look by yourself, from Xianyin Village all the way into the city, the tiger baby has roughly figured out the outline of the world in the small world. There is no altar here, and the so-called "immortal family" high above the fairy mountain is the gods of the world, and they have everything in this world.
The nearly 100 monks living in the west of the city who hope to ascend the immortal mountain are the people closest to the gods, and the city lord rules the world on behalf of the immortal mountain, and the identity of these people is similar to that of a priest, and the city lord is the high priest. In the eyes of the city lord, ordinary people do not need to know the truth of this world, they only need to know everything that the gods tell them.
The tiger baby finally understood why the Hongtian City Lord was more worried than surprised when he saw him. Because according to the ancient legends of this place, their identity is regarded as the immortals who descended into the world, which is an accident that no one expected.
The immortals who descended into the world represent a more noble and mysterious identity. The arrival of Huwa and the others is likely to break the pattern of the human world that has been formed here for hundreds of years, change many things, and also make Hong Tian afraid of losing many of the things he has enjoyed in the land of Wangxian.
As for the master standing behind Hong Tian, who has at least achieved great cultivation on the Immortal Mountain, his vision should not stop there, he should also hope that the portal of this Jedi will be opened, but he will also feel some fear, at least he may worry that he is no longer the absolute master of this world, or that some unknown secrets will be revealed.
Since there are inhabitants, cities, and immortal mountains in this small world, it is not a borderless land, so far. Huwa and the others still acted as guests, just trying to understand what kind of world this was first, and why did the Cave Heaven Enchantment opened up by the Immortal Family become like this after a thousand years?
The huge castle lord's mansion is located in the middle of the castle outline, and unlike many buildings on Ba Yuan, which face south and allow for light, this building faces east and faces the direction of the rising sun. There is a high platform in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, which just covers the scene inside the palace gate, and this is also the place where ordinary people stop, and their daily footprints cannot cross the boundary on both sides of the high platform.
There is an open space in front of the high platform. The layout is the same as many of the castles on Ba Yuan, but the open space is large enough to accommodate thousands of people to sit loosely. This is the place where the Immortal Yuan Conference is held every three years, and the high platform is not an altar, but a place where the masters on the Immortal Mountain guide the teachings of the Immortal Yuan.
When the fairy fate conference was held, teenagers from all over the country could only kneel on the ground, and could not look up at the stage. Patriarch Hecheng once quietly raised his eyes to look at it, but he didn't see anything clearly, only to see a divine light on the high platform. Frightened, he quickly knocked his forehead on the ground and kept pleading in his heart.
The people outside the venue did not dare to approach when they saw the honor guard of the city lord, and it was the same when they arrived in the city, and the people knelt down on the spot from a distance instead of running over to watch. It's not that they don't have curiosity, they don't dare to offend.
Nearly 100 monks living in the western part of the city also did not show up. Only their servants stood behind the door and quietly looked curiously. The opening of the door to the small world should have brought the hope that the local people had been waiting for for a thousand years, and it was somewhat unusual for these people to not show up to greet them. It seems that someone apparently gave the order. Leave no one else in contact with guests for the time being.
But Hong Tian also underestimated the cultivation of the tiger baby, and the tiger baby sat in the car to unfold the Yuanshen world, and the scope of exploration was very wide. You can perceive a lot of movement around you. Sure enough, in the west of the city, there were monks gathered in the house in twos and threes, and they were discussing in private.
They already knew that a mysterious guest had come to the land of immortals, and they were speculating about the identity of the guest. In fact, there is no need to guess, all kinds of discussions point to the same answer - the immortals who descended from the fairy world to the world. The city lord has ordered them not to show up for the time being, so as not to disturb the distinguished guests from the fairy world, and all matters related to the reception of distinguished guests are entrusted to the venerable elders on the immortal mountain.
Although they can't make contact with the distinguished guests for the time being, this team has come all the way from outside the city, but there is no way to hide people's eyes. In particular, the magical car and the two snow-white horses are particularly eye-catching. Even if he is a master of cultivation, he has never seen a horse when he was born here, and those two white horses are regarded by many people as divine beasts in the fairy world.
Huwa also found a lot of interesting things in the west of the city. For example, people here raise bamboo chickens, and they don't let the chickens run around, so people outside can't see them. The yard is large, and there are special chicken pens in it, and the hard bristles on the wings are also cut off to prevent the bamboo chickens from flying away. Raising chickens is to feed food, and you can also catch insects as feed, and these do not have to be done by the monks themselves, and their own slaves do it for them.
Huwa couldn't help but secretly wonder if the masters on the Immortal Mountain had already arrived, and were waiting for them in the City Lord's Mansion. He guessed correctly, after bypassing the high platform, there were already more than ten monks standing in front of the city lord's mansion, and a middle-aged man was clustered among them......
The people who are waiting here are all masters from the Immortal Mountain, and the one in the center is the Yunqi Immortal. Yunqi is draped in a red pattern, it should be the most exquisite costume in the land of Wangxian, his cultivation has been completed in five realms and nine turns, and he came forward to salute all the distinguished guests with a spring breeze, and said that after getting the news, he rushed from the fairy mountain, and has been waiting here for a long time.
There are also twelve other monks who come with Yunqi, all of whom have the cultivation of the Five Realms, looking at the position they stand and the qi and machine sensing around them, they should have practiced a certain formation together, and they can set up a formation to deal with strong enemies at any time, and they also hide the magic weapons they carry under their robes, and it seems that they are still wary of these uninvited guests of the tiger baby.
They didn't write down the cultivation in their heads, why could the tiger baby see it so clearly? Maybe it was because the situation in this closed world was relatively special, or they didn't need to pay attention to the convergence of their aura on weekdays, even if they didn't deliberately release the mana coercion, they could roughly distinguish it from the ordinary fluctuations of divine qi.
Although wary, there was no tension between the two sides, and they seemed to be enthusiastic, and the host was even a little too enthusiastic. The banquet of the City Lord's Mansion has been set up, and there are not only bamboo chickens, but also eggs that are forbidden to be eaten by mortals, and there are also skinned beasts that are roasted fragrantly.
The Hongtian City Lord specially introduced that this is a white-faced beast that is a specialty in the Immortal Mountain. The fur is very rare and has a lot of oil, and it is very fragrant when roasted. Sure enough, it was the handiwork of the fairy family to entertain distinguished guests, with chickens, eggs, meat, and even wine. The sake here is different from that in Ba Yuan, slightly cloudy but very sweet, and it is a method of sake brewing that the locals have developed themselves over a long period of time.
Brewing wine consumes a lot of food, and even in Ba Yuan, it is usually a sacrificial thing for the gods, which is rare for ordinary people to enjoy, and it is of course even more precious in this place of immortals. Such hospitality is also a testament to sincerity.
Yunqi Immortal Chang chatted and laughed at the banquet, and expressed a warm welcome to Huwa and others on behalf of the masters on the Immortal Mountain, thanking them for opening up the closed world and bringing hope to the world, and briefly introduced the history of the land of Wangxian.
In ancient times, six immortal families joined forces to open up this small world. It first started 1,500 years ago, when there were only two immortal families, and then four companions joined one after another, and after nearly 500 years, it had its current scale a thousand years ago. Later, these immortal patriarchs flew up to the immortals one after another. Only legends have been left in the world. Due to its age, the Land of Immortals did not even leave their names.
Even the names of the six ancestors have not been handed down, which is enough to show that the immortal family inheritance here was once cut off. It's not that there are no descendants who continue to practice the Immortal Law, but for a long time. No more Dacheng monks appeared. Eight hundred years ago, the last Dacheng monk may have foreseen this situation before he sat down, and he left a batch of inheritance jade proverbs for future generations, recording many secret methods with the idea of the gods.
The jade is a high-grade magic weapon, and the information infused into it with mana can last for 10,000 years. However, every time it is read, it will dissipate one point, and future generations need to continue to inject mana into it in order to maintain the inheritance of divine thoughts. But this can only be done by a monk of Dacheng.
There is a jade proverb that records the secret method of opening the portal of the small world, and later generations have repeatedly read the inheritance, and have made many attempts with their own cultivation, but there is no way to open the portal again, and the divine thoughts remaining in the jade proverb gradually and completely dissipated.
For nearly three hundred years after that, the land of Wangxian was in a state where the immortal inheritance was on the verge of being cut off, and no one could break through the Dacheng cultivation. After the death of the previous generation of monks, the descendants did not receive wise guidance, and the inheritance gradually declined.
At the beginning, the six Immortal Family Patriarchs brought into the small world, including their disciples, the servants around them, and the descendants of their descendants, totaling about hundreds. At the time of the decline of the immortal law inheritance, the descendants were able to thrive in this cave enchantment without wars and natural disasters, and after a thousand years, it had the current scale.
About 400 years ago, there was a monk in the land of Wangxian, who was the Ancient Heavenly Ancestor. The Ancient Heavenly Ancestor obtained the last batch of jade Zhen left by the Ancient Patriarch and the inheritance of the divine thoughts that had not completely dissipated, and became the master of the Immortal Mountain. At that time, the conflicts between the various ethnic groups in the land of Wangxian began to appear and spread, so he went down the mountain to teach the immortal method and lead the people to pacify the world.
After the world returned to stability, the ancient heavenly ancestor ordered his disciples to gather the people to build Wangxian City, and he himself returned to the immortal mountain to live in seclusion. Now the monks in the land of Wangxian can be said to be the descendants of the ancient ancestors. The Ancient Heavenly Ancestor also told the world that if he broke through the cultivation of the Six Realms, he was expected to ascend to the Great World of the World, the hometown of the legendary immortals, and the monks here were convinced of this.
Yunqi's cultivation has been completed in the five realms and nine turns, and as long as he survives the test of the last "Heavenly Tribulation", he can fly to the immortal, so he has also become the principal of the immortal mountain today.
Yunqi's introduction did not contain more information, nor did it answer the doubts in the hearts of Huwa and the others, and the monk was more interested in the outside world. Now that the portal has been opened, what else is needed to ascend through the Heavenly Tribulation, just go out directly, and the outside is the place he has been yearning for, the goal of cultivation.
And the actual situation may disappoint the masters on the Immortal Mountain, and at the same time, it may also ignite more expectations for them.
Huwa didn't lie, and truthfully introduced the situation of the "big world on earth" with divine thoughts, which is indeed the hometown of the ancient immortals, but it is not the real fairy world, and it is also the world, where many mortals live, but it is much more vast and complex than this small world, and there are all kinds of turbulence and disputes, different dangers and wonderful.
The cultivators of Xianshan were completely attracted by Huwa's story. It is very difficult to change a person's inherent knowledge, they still think that cultivating to the Six Realms is to become an immortal, and the great world of the world is a broader immortal realm, where mortals and immortals are together, full of all kinds of unknown dangers and great opportunities. There, you can verify the cultivation of a higher realm, and finally ascend to the more mysterious Emperor Country Divine Land like the six ancestors in ancient times.
Next, the conversation got to the point, Yunqi represented the monks of the Immortal Mountain, and discussed with everyone about the exchanges between the two worlds. He was very happy to say that the long-closed land of Wangxian urgently needed to open the door to accept and see everything in the big world of the world, but he also made a clear request - he didn't want people from the outside to interfere with everything in the small world. (To be continued......)
