Chapter 236: Worldly Questions
Ning Shu moved towards the stern of the boat, wiped the rain on his face with his hand, looked at Xu Yuanxin and said: "No matter what happens, there is a cause and effect, there is a boat, there are naturally guests, there is a pursuit, there is a destination, we are the guests on this boat, and the river temple across the river is our destination." ”
"I don't think we're the only guests visiting, it's a bit too vulgar to wait for thousands of years just on our heads."
"Since there must be a master when you visit, who is the owner of this place?"
Or ...... The old river god in front of us was a visitor to this place, just like us. ”
Xu Yuanxin's skin was originally very fair, and there was a pitiful look under the paleness at the moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings.
With her intelligence, how could she not understand what Ning Shu meant, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was too terrifying, and she said softly: "So this is the purpose of you getting on this boat?"
Ning Shu nodded and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." ”
"And...... We don't seem to have any other way. ”
Although this is helpless, it also reveals a kind of tenacity, and this tenacity makes Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin both choose this most adventurous way.
You must know that after getting on the boat, the fate of the two may not be in their own hands. Because in front of them is the old river god in a strange state, and all around them are the weak water of the vast heavenly river.
Unable to be down-to-earth, he can only hold the sword in his hand for peace of mind.
Ning Shu was holding the long sword, while Xu Yuanxin was holding the young man's fifty strings in his hand.
The three-pillar fragrance in the ship is not long, but looking at its burning trend, I am afraid that it will not burn out until it reaches the opposite shore.
Floating on the endless water, there was no greeting, no talking, only quiet to the eerie atmosphere, the rain slapped on the face, blown by the wind, a little cold and biting.
Feeling the slight tremor coming from the contact part between the girl and his body, Ning Shu asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid?"
"No......" Xu Yuanxin explained a little stubbornly: "I just feel a little cold." ”
"Aren't you shaking too?"
Hearing this, Ning Shu was stunned, and immediately found that the fingers on his lap were also trembling, and there was a hairy tremor on his back.
It's not just because of fear, it's a bigger part of it because of a nervous thrill.
It's like knowing in advance that something of particular interest is coming, or the feeling of someone with a fear of heights standing on the edge of a cliff.
If you want Ning Shu to give an example, it is probably a bit like the feeling before the Taifu assessment and when he climbed the ninth floor of the meditation tower.
"I know, when I secretly went to the palace to watch them cultivate when I was a child, I also felt this way. Xu Yuan thought for a while and said, "This seems to be a kind of tension of secretly doing bad things. ”
"We're not doing anything bad on this trip. Ning Shu looked at the river in front of him and said helplessly.
Now there is really no door to heaven and earth, and even the inspiration king who set off in advance of the two of them can't see his figure. Ning Shu had a feeling that their ship might not have moved the whole time.
Although he said that he was not afraid on the surface, whether it was Ning Shu or Xu Yuanxin, there was a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
This sense of unease comes from the temple across the river.
Even though the fog on the river now makes it difficult for them to see the opposite scene, the scene they saw before they got on the boat has always been etched in their hearts.
This is the power of the gods, which can be imprinted in people's hearts at a glance, and such a means has reached the sky.
However, Ning Shu had walked on the edge of life and death, experienced many illusions on the meditation tower, and unconsciously went to the legendary Yellow Spring, so he didn't care much about such a means of slander, even if the temple was rooted in his heart at this time, but if Ning Shu was willing, he would be able to break it with a sword in the next moment.
The reason why he didn't move at this time was because he wanted to crack the secret of the old river god in front of him.
Why did he become like this?
......
......
The Inspiration King stood on top of the flower basket with his hands in his hands, looking at the vast water and frowning.
Although he seemed to be in good shape, only he knew that the shadow of that temple was already entrenched in his heart, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not erase it.
What he had said to the old river god on the bank of the river was that he disdained to cross the river in this way, and on the other hand, he wanted to expel the shadow of the temple in his heart.
It's just that the longer he floats on the surface of the river, the clearer the shadow of the river temple becomes.
The King of Inspiration himself is the god of the Heavenly River.
He has been affiliated with the Canglong clan since he was a child, practicing all the way, entering the demon palace, learning the demon law, although he is not as peerless as the prince of the demon clan, but he is also a leader in the 100,000 mountains, and later he abandoned the demon clan method, and resolutely devoted himself to Shinto, and did not decline, but became more powerful.
He understood what it meant for the river temple to manifest in his heart.
As I said before, how can we believe in others if we are both gods?
And this forcible manifestation in the heart is obviously to suppress the divine throne of the King of Inspiration and make him surrender.
This was terrible, and the Inspiration King would not allow such a thing to happen, but there was nothing he could do.
So he frowned.
He came all the way to this place from Immeasurable, just to win the inheritance of this place, and the Heaven Swallowing King in the storm is his own brother, so he does not hesitate to let go of his hatred, just to be able to get the inheritance.
The King of Inspiration didn't know what the inheritance here was, but based on the information recorded by a stone tablet in the Tongtian River and the information sent back by the King of Heaven Swallowing, he concluded that there must be a great supernatural power here.
Not many people know about the pre-flood period, but he is one of them.
And the reason why he let that boy go for the time being was because he had a feeling that this boy would be a key to unlock the inheritance.
Just like using the power of the stars to open the Sacred Lake Inheritance, a key may be used for a second time.
But he was also afraid of what existed in the river temple on the other side, and with his realm, he could already sense that in this illusory world of the flood period, there must be someone behind the scenes.
The King of Inspiration is desperate to reach the other side, although he has the magic weapon of the Demon Emperor to carve runes so that he will not be swallowed by weak water, but if he indulges the imprint of other gods in his heart, he is afraid that before he reaches the other side, his divine power will collapse.
......
......
Ning Shu and Xu Yuanxin looked ahead side by side, not daring to relax at all, because they didn't know what would happen in the next moment.
The old river god went out and killed people, or capsized the ship, or something even stranger happened.
Anything is possible.
Because the two of them don't have any initiative in their hands at the moment.
"We should take the initiative. Ning Shu shook his head and said, "I don't like to put the right to choose in the hands of others, it's too uncomfortable." ”
"Will this save him?"
Xu Yuanxin knew Ning Shu's plan, but she thought that she would implement it when she went ashore, but she didn't expect that the young man would act now, whether it was success or failure, the risk would be great in the future.
"Will you sail?"
"Why didn't you ask me if I was sure?"
Ning Shu didn't expect the girl's thinking to jump so much, he thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to sail a boat, but I see that others have sailed a boat." ”
......
......
Smoke curls.
A purple butterfly flies in it.
The wings above the purple butterfly were exceptionally bright at this time, which was the power of faith that had crossed more than ten miles through wind and rain.
Since this old river god was just a body without a divine soul, Ning Shu wanted to use the water and soil he had once protected to try to awaken a little divinity of the old river god.
This is not his whimsical idea, but the only reliable plan he came up with after listening to Xu Yuanxin's various stories about the gods in the past.
It is rumored that in ancient times, when Shinto was still flourishing, the life of the gods was locked with the worldly beliefs, and the gods were born when the beliefs gathered, and the gods were destroyed when the beliefs were scattered.
The old river god has sheltered the wind and rain for hundreds of years, how can there be no tie in it?
When the purple butterfly fluttered up, the layer of clear light belonging to the wind and rain ferry enveloped the entire flat boat.
And the old river god, who had been facing away from Ning Shu and the others, like a sculpture, finally had a little different movement.
He turned slowly and looked at the incense burner in the boat, although his eyes were still empty, but the gloom like a dead man had subsided a lot.
Ning Shu saw that this method had achieved results, and it was even more useful than he expected, and he couldn't help but strengthen the idea in his heart.
He closed his perception heaven and earth, and then dispersed all the power of faith he had collected in those days when he was exterminating demons in Nanlian Village, and in just a few breaths, he transformed from an immortal monk to a Shinto person.
This is also the strange spell he cultivated, and later he cultivated a complete Yuan Shen Law, if not, just like the inspiration king, the demon law and the divine law can only be left in one of them, and they cannot coexist.
Ning Shu looked serious, turned around towards the bow of the boat and asked, "Dare to ask the river god, there are demons who cross the wind and rain and make waves and bring disaster to the world, do you know?"
"That river demon takes people's lives and destroys people's homes, can you get rid of them?"
"The wind and rain across the ten-mile realm are all living in grief, wives and children are separated, families are ruined, people are struggling to make a living, it makes your people have enough of torture and humiliation, where were you at that time?"
Although Ning Shu was not roaring and shouting, his voice was a little hoarse when he hadn't finished his three sentences.
Because these three sentences were asked on behalf of the people of Nanlian Village, and they were also used to the beliefs of the people of Nanlian Village.
These were the voices he heard when he stood in the storm.
The voice was countless times more desolate then than it was now.
The sentences are bloody, and the words are tearful.
Such a worldly question, ask the gods, ask the heaven and the earth, at this moment, Ning Shu will replace all living beings to send a message to this river god who has enjoyed the wind and rain for a hundred years.
