Volume 2 Three Bodies and Four Wisdom Bodies 0097 The Palace of the Emperor of the Mushroom
Passing through the canopy of the giant mushroom tree, I saw that the fungus stalk below was thick and straight, and many of them were even bigger than the giant trees on the mountainside of the Six Poison Island.
From time to time, huge tree holes appear on the stipe, surrounded by artificial circular platforms, which are very spacious, and there are wide suspension bridges connecting to the circular platforms around the other stipe tree holes.
The suspension bridge is staggered between the trunks of the giant mushroom trees, intertwined into a net, and the circular platforms and tree holes connected to them constitute the living space of the mushroom spirit.
Many dignified and elegant mushroom spirits, or in and out of the tree hole, or leisurely walking on the suspension bridge, saw Honggu coming with a cigarette, and all quietly saluted.
The understory is a swamp, where there is no water, and the phosphorescent mushroom meadow is overgrown with fireflies, and the microspore bats sometimes dive into the puddles, sometimes fly leisurely to the water and meadows, and some fly to high places, shuttling between the suspension bridges, which is really dreamlike.
Because the living space of the mushroom spirit is on the trunk of a tree, the understory is completely natural, and there are almost no artificial buildings.
The red girl took the cigarette and circled down to a height close to the understory, flew flat for a while, and then began to spiral and rise again, until it almost touched the canopy, and suddenly turned towards the thickest tree in sight, and finally landed on a circular platform closest to its canopy.
After such a spiral descent and ascent, the crowd almost got a full view of a town.
This giant tree seems to be the center of the whole town, and the platform they landed on is the commanding height of the whole town, although it is spacious, but there is no movement, the suspension bridge leading to the platform, there are soldiers guarding, seeing Honggu coming, do nothing, still strictly guard the post.
Honggu said: "This is a palace of my father, because it is close to the imperial city, so the construction is very regular, which can be called a model of the town of Fuling." With the exception of this mushroom and the six plants around it, all other areas are inhabitable by civilians. I'll show you around the palace before heading to the town. ”
Of course, the circular platform is also part of the palace, but apart from the height and area, it is not significantly different from the other platforms, so it is worth visiting the space inside the tree hole.
The entrance of the tree hole is arched, the door is decorated with glaze, there is a glazed plaque at the top, and there are a few large characters in mushroom script on it, Xu Yibing looked up and read: "Jones Palace." ”
Honggu was stunned for a moment and said, "Huh, do you recognize Fu Wen?"
Xu Yibing said: "When I was in the Candle Mushroom Forest, I bought the Curse Wheel Solitaire in the Formation Diagram Workshop, and I flipped through it in my spare time, and I also learned a little about the mushroom language. ”
Yu Yunluo said: "I heard the owner of the Xiulou of the Firefly Candle Mushroom Forest say that after the Divine Witch Dao monk settled in the Candle Mushroom Forest, the spells used gradually evolved into the mushroom text, and I thought that the mushroom text evolved from the original Divine Witch Dao spell text, but it turned out to be the text of the mushroom spirit." ”
Honggu smiled and affirmed her understanding.
Entering the tree hole, the inside is very spacious, divided into two layers, the upper layer is a circular platform built along the edge of the cave wall, a round hole is vacated in the middle, and a pool is facing the bottom, countless filaments glow with a soft light like moonlight, stretching out from the pool, some are intertwined with each other, rising upward, passing through the circular hole above, and some are spread out flat to cover the ground in the tree hole, illuminating the whole tree hole.
"No wonder it's called Jones Palace. Seeing those glowing filaments, Xu Yibing was relieved.
Honggu said: "This pool is the essence of this giant tree mushroom, and if the Jones stretched out in it is not left alone, it will form sclerotia many years later. ”
When Sima Chengzhen saw this pool, he couldn't help but think of the Tangquan Palace built by the Tang Dynasty royal family on Lishan Mountain, and said, "This palace is a bathhouse, right?"
Honggu nodded and said, "Well, members of the royal family often come here to bathe, and the pool water can improve our cultivation." ”
Sima Chengzhen praised: "Your mushroom spirit is very good, the royal palace even has a civilian area, although the Tangquan Palace of the mortal Tang Dynasty also has many palaces, but civilians are not allowed to live in and out." ”
"Mortal royalty is selfish. Honggu smiled, "I always hear you mention the mortal world, after you successfully go out, you want to take me to see it." ”
"Because we were all born in the mortal world, if it weren't for the spiritual portal of the master's sect, we would have to set foot in the spiritual realm, not to mention that we would have to cultivate a jiazi, and wait for the ascension. Sima Chengzhen hesitated for a moment, "When we get out of the Six Poison Island, we must first complete the mission of the spirit world before we can go to the mortal world, but we also have to sail to the west, or to deal with the invasion of the hidden capital." ”
"It's okay, I haven't been to the spirit world either, I'll help you complete your mission, and by the way, I'll travel all over the world. Honggu smiled, "Let's go upstairs and have a look." ”
Ascending the second floor from the stairs, the first thing you see is the filament that rises up through the circular hole in the middle, and when you look up along the filament, you can see that the dome of the tree hole is full of exquisite murals, stretching out all the way around, and going down along the wall, it turns out that the second floor of the ceiling and the surroundings are full of murals, which seem to tell some history of the mushroom.
In fact, there are also frescoes on the first floor, and they saw it when they went up the stairs, but they lacked the caisson on the dome, so it was far less impressive than the second floor.
"These murals seem to record the history of the mushroom spirit, right?" Feng Luqi saw the vicissitudes of history from these murals, she had seen many murals of the Romans recording history, and was familiar with the rules of painting.
Honggu nodded and said: "Yes, these paintings start from the zenith, and record the history of the mushroom spirit from top to bottom, and the one in the middle of the zenith is our primordial mushroom spirit......"
Aunt Hong told the story, and everyone listened to her tell the history recorded on the mural while watching the mural, and felt the vicissitudes of the world for 48,000 years.
The caisson tells the story of the birth of the mushroom spirit and the history of its development in ancient times, until the establishment of the mushroom spirit empire.
The murals on the wall are divided into two layers, the upper layer describes the war between the Mushroom Spirit Empire and the Six Poisonous Spirits, and the lower layer describes the process of the Mushroom Spirit opening up the Hutian, and the history recorded by the two layers of murals is at the same time.
After talking about the murals on the second floor, Honggu took everyone back to the first floor and told them about the content of the murals on the first floor, mainly the history of the first generation of mushroom spirits who moved to Hutianhou, although it is 30,000 years old, but it is peaceful and peaceful, and there is no shadow of war.
It's just that with the growth and increase of the Nebula Mushroom, and the growth of the population, Honggu's family is gradually unable to rule so many territories, so they fully decentralize their power and hand over all other mushroom continents except this mushroom continent to other princes to govern with full authority, and they only need to respect Honggu's family as the royal family forever.
Even on the Nebula Mushroom Continent, this system was forced to be implemented, as no single family had the ability to govern an entire continent.
This system has taken about 20,000 years from its emergence to perfection, and it sounds very much like the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty in the mortal world, thinking of the princes fighting for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Sima Chengzhen and others couldn't help frowning.
Sima Chengzhen said: "Aren't you worried about wars between various fiefdoms? The Zhou Dynasty in mortal history was this kind of system, and as a result, the vassal states annexed each other, and the wars continued for many years, and the people suffered unspeakably. ”
Honggu said in surprise: "How can this be? Twenty thousand years ago, when this nebula mushroom grew to one-third of its current size, we gave the pioneers full autonomy, and now this system is still used on so many nebula mushroom continents, and there has never been a war between the fiefs on the same mushroom continent, let alone between different mushroom continents." ”
Feng Luqi said: "I hope you can enjoy peace forever." ”
"Thank you, even if there is a war, it can't happen between the mushrooms. Honggu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What you can see in this palace is the baths and murals, so I'll take you to visit the town outside." ”
