Chapter 275: Totem Falls
Jishan, Jinji Valley.
The mountains are surrounded by greenery and shrubs. There is a wind blowing, a piece of petals fly away, tactfully and finely broken, such as butterflies flying, chaotic red dots, constantly flying and fluttering in the sky above the Golden Rooster Valley, bursts of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Bi Fang slowly raised his head, looking for the wisps of fragrance, looking out the window, his gaze suddenly became long and far-reaching, and his voice was faint, as if he had returned to the past years.
"There is not a single sand or stone in the base mountain, but the soil is as dense as rammed, which is better than sand and gravel.
There are many warm jades in the soil layer on the south slope, which makes the already dense soil more solid. Only the plants and trees that already exist here can grow from the inside out.
Without the blessing of the power of the totem, we can't even cultivate the spiritual field. ”
Shui Hao and Twilight were visibly stunned, they could hardly imagine that the mountains accumulated from the soil would have such a texture.
"Then how do the other branches live?" Tu Shan Huanhuan couldn't help but ask out loud.
In the Shenze Continent, the mountains are beautiful, and the rain is abundant, and the Dharma practitioners mainly use spiritual rice to satisfy their hunger except for a small amount of meat.
Tu Shan Huanhuan saw that in the Golden Rooster Valley, all the old and young were skinny like a forest, with vegetables on their faces, and even some children picked up soil and ate, so he knew that what Bi Fang said was true.
It's just that she wonders if the other branches are the same, especially the surname Li in the Ancestor Peak.
"They ......," Bi Fang snorted coldly and said angrily, "how can they compare to ours." The surnames Zou and Tu are still able to wrap their stomachs, while the surnames Li and Jiang are brocade clothes and jade food. ”
"At the beginning, the four of you were also disliked by the surname Li, and you were also deprived of your surname, why is the treatment so different?" Tu Shan Huanhuan was stunned. Even though she had already guessed that the circumstances of the various branches were not different, she did not expect that the difference was so great.
Bi Fang sighed and said in an astringent voice: "Thousands of years ago, when we still had totem favor, the clansmen used the power of totems to cultivate enough spiritual fields in the four peaks. It's just that there is no water source in the base mountain, and only relying on nectar from the sky, the yield of the spiritual field is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
At the beginning, our various branches were deprived of their surnames and enslaved by the surname Li. Since then, the work of cultivation has been done by the four of us.
At that time, the various branches were also oppressed by the Li surname, and the treatment was not as different as it is now.
The ancestors of our lineage, because they directly accused the surname Li of being ungrateful, they held a grudge. Therefore, in addition to farming, we are also responsible for collecting the morning dew. ”
"In other words, you are not only responsible for their food, but also for their drinking?" Tu Shanhuan said in a hateful voice, "They are really a big shelf. ”
Bi Fang took a deep breath and nodded: "We are in the same vein as the strength of the surname Li, and there is no other way.
Although there is no water source in Jishan, the morning dew is very sweet. In particular, the northern slope of the valley is full of exotic flowers and plants, and it is said that drinking morning dew there can cure all diseases. ”
Shui Hao and the three of them looked at each other, and Shang Fu had also mentioned the northern slope of Jishan at the beginning. It is also said that, according to legend, it is full of exotic flowers and plants.
Bi Fang was in a trance, and said in a quiet voice: "Suddenly, one day, the flowers on the north slope withered, the grass withered, and strange trees like snakes broke through the ground.
For a time, rumors swirled. Some people say that it was a disaster descended from the totem star in the nine heavens, while others say that it was something that happened to the seal here that made it like this. ”
"Seal?" Shui Hao exclaimed in surprise.
Bi Fang glanced at Shui Hao and the three of them strangely, and said, "The excuse for the ancestor of Chiyou to come to Jishan was to guard the seal. In the Jiuli tribe, there has always been a record that the emperor led the twelve lawmakers to seal the nine fierce beasts of the ancients, and Jishan was one of the sealed places. ”
"What's so strange about the strange trees there?" asked Twilight.
"The strange wood is twisted like a snake, without branches and leaves, that's all. Seeing the urgency on Twilight's face, Bi Fang couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "You also know the strange trees on the north slope?"
Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but was intercepted by Shui Hao: "My brother is naturally interested in those strange things. Elders don't have to care, let's move on. ”
Bi Fang glanced at Twilight Deep and said slowly, "Since then, the clan has regarded it as a forbidden place, and only some ignorant children will occasionally go there to play. ”
"At that time, there was a young man in our vein named Bi Mo. The child was withdrawn by nature, as his name suggests, and he was very quiet on weekdays. The northern slope was sparsely populated, and it became a frequented place for him.
One day, he came to the North Slope again. But I found that among the strange trees, several strange flowers had grown.
According to the records of the clan, the flowers are as white as snow, and the fragrance hits people, and when they are smelled from afar, they are light and light, and they are well-versed. ”
"Like snow!" Shui Hao and the three of them slowly read out the name in their hearts.
Shang Fu once said that there are different flowers on the north slope, which bloom for thousands of years, and there are only a few flowers at a time. If you eat it, you can sense the power of the totem. After mutual induction with the totems of the Nine Heavens, he gains the power that is not weaker than that of the Dharma.
"Although we were not as miserable as we are now, we were also short of food and clothing. Bi Mo was a young man, so he ate all the flowers.
Not long after he didn't want to eat it, he sensed the position of the totem star above the nine heavens. Lord Totem not only lowered the power of the totem, but also lowered his own will. ”
Bi Fang held back his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "At that time, Bi Mo had wings on his back, just like the ancestor of Chiyou.
It was also at that time that we learned that we could not do without the totem, and the totem of the Nine Heavens could not do without us. ”
"How is this possible!" said Twilight Huo Ran as she stood up, stunned.
Shui Hao and Hu You'er on the side were also shocked on their faces, and they looked at Bi Fang in disbelief.
At first, the people didn't believe it either. It's just that Bi Mo not only has the power of totem, but also the will of totem, which can't be questioned. ”
Bi Fang looked up to the sky and sighed, his voice faint.
"After the fall of the holy beast, because of the power of people's faith, they were able to preserve their souls from extinction, and thus parasitize on the stars.
It is also from that moment that they have shared weal and woe with people, one prospering and one losing.
People gain powerful totemic power by inducing each other with totems, and totems also need people's faith power to maintain their souls. ”
"What do you mean, the totems above the Nine Heavens will also dissipate?" Shui Hao asked thoughtfully.
"When we look up at the starry sky, we often see a light passing through the sky, which is very beautiful. ”
"You mean a meteor?" Tu Shan Huanhuan frowned and spoke.
Shui Hao and Twilight looked at each other, and they already had the answer in their hearts, but it was too shocking for the two brothers to believe it.
"Those meteors are the totems who have lost the power of faith. Those bright lights are the despair of their souls in reluctance and indignation when they fall. ”
