Chapter 2, Section 77 The Past Comes Again
At that time, Lin Feng and You Boqi met on time, and the two didn't say much, and under the cover of night, they headed towards the Ao Ling Palace. The lights on the Withered Giant Tree are still brilliant, but after the last battle, the leaves of the tree have fallen off a lot, revealing more of the sky. Lin Feng still remembers the night when he first saw the Withered Giant Tree, when he was a prisoner, but Yun'er was still by his side, and Granny Li had not passed away, and the road ahead was confusing, but also full of hope. And now, Lin Feng only felt unspeakably helpless and lonely.
The two of them stalked in the dark for a long time, and You Boqi finally stopped. Lin Feng saw an inconspicuous small door not far away, and a listless guard was guarding in front of the door. The two walked over, and the guard only glanced at the nameplates of the two of them, and let the two pass without asking anything. Entering the small gate, there is a long, damp and narrow stone road. There was no one else here, so You Boqi had a ride or not to say something to Lin Feng, all of which were old things about his life in the Xuanyi clan before.
After walking for about half an hour, Lin Feng was a little puzzled, "Why is it not an upward passage, it feels like it is going down." ”
"This passage for repairers needs to go around the tree half a circle before going up. You Bozi explained.
After another cup of tea, the two came to a stone wall. When the white light of the firefly branch shone on the veins of the stone wall, Lin Feng only had time to scold "Damn", and his body was sucked in by a beam of green light.
It's still the huge tree hole, or the towering stone wall engraved with "Ao Ling Yongchang", but it's all around it. It seems that the vicious fight between Granny Li and Huang Zu almost ruined this place.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to Brother Lin either. You Boqi looked a little helpless.
Lin Feng really didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why are you like this!?"
"Don't blame Brother Qi, I asked him to do it. "It's actually You Boyun's voice.
Lin Feng was dumbfounded, and followed the sound to see that You Boyun and Xiao Sheng were standing at the bottom left of the stone wall.
"Yun'er..."Lin Feng was speechless for a while, he had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"Looks like she's completely successful. Xiao Chang sighed, "Ms. Huang Zu, do you see, is it still possible for his pulse technique to be broken?"
After a moment of silence, a woman's voice rang out, "Yes, but with my own strength, it will take a lot of money to completely remove this pulse technique, and if she takes the opportunity to attack, we will have no way out." ”
"If so, she's really made a good move. Xiao Sheng said, approaching Lin Feng.
"What the hell are you talking about, what the hell are you hiding from me!" Lin Feng was originally very angry, but when he heard a few questions and answers from Xiao Sheng, Yun'er and Huang Zu, he became surprised.
"I think, it doesn't matter if you say it now, since she no longer controls you, she should have no fear, but..." ”
"What? Fucking say it, Lao Tzu is like this now, what burden can he have!" Lin Feng was anxious.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry, we are also forced to do it, Yun'er can't say it well, you better listen to Xiaosheng tell you carefully. You Boyun walked over and gently grabbed Lin Feng's arm. Lin Feng was saved by this, and the haze that had been deposited in his heart for a long time immediately melted away, and it seemed that as long as these hands were there, nothing else mattered.
"Ahem... Then I'll tell you everything you want to know. But before that, listen to me tell you a story, a story about the origin of this world. The young man looked around at the huge roots of the trees around him, and began to speak.
Three hundred years ago, there was a big tree outside the county town called Jiashui County, and under the tree lived a woman named Li Xian, whose husband and children were arrested and went to the border pass, and she was the only one who lived in a few thatched huts under the tree, looking forward to the return of her relatives every day.
But I was looking forward to it, but what I was waiting for was the news that my relatives had died on the battlefield. Li Xian cried bitterly for two days and one night, and by the next night she could no longer cry a single tear, and she decided to die with them.
Li Xian took out the prepared white silk, hung it on the beam, gently put his head in, and closed his eyes. At this point, she instinctively felt that there was one more person in the room. Very few people come to the hut, so who could it be so late? Li Xian opened his eyes and saw that it was actually a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. When the woman saw her looking at her, she said to her, "My name is Huang Zu, and I am the tree god of the tree behind your house. I see that you have a lot of spiritual roots, and you are really pitiful, so I have come to enlighten you. I can teach you the pulse technique, as long as you practice it diligently, you can become an immortal in the future, how about it?"
Li Xian saw Huang Zu's body floating in the air, and expected that what he said was true. She was already discouraged, but now she had the arrival of immortals, and she had a sense of life. Even though he knelt down and bowed nine times, he followed Huang Zu to practice wholeheartedly.
Li Xian is talented and intelligent, and he can endure hardships, and his achievements are making rapid progress, which is very satisfying to Huang Zu. Therefore, in addition to teaching Li Xian the pulse technique, Huang Zu also taught her literacy, painting, planting and other skills. The relationship between the master and apprentice is getting better and better, and the more they get together, the more harmonious they become.
Suddenly, Li Xian found that his master Huang Zu frowned, his expression was in a trance, and he couldn't help but care about the inquiry. Who knew that Huang Zu was a little embarrassed. Li Xian is a person who came over, and immediately guessed eight or nine. Unable to resist Li Xian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Huang Zu still told her about his admiration for an immortal named Chang Zuo.
This immortal named Chang Zuo passed through Jiashui County and saw this spiritual tree by the river, so he fell down the clouds and came to take a look. After meeting Huang Zu, the two exchanged a lot of cultivation experiences. The body of Huangzu is a tree, mainly based on self-cultivation and self-enlightenment, but Chang Zuo travels all over the world, and has rich experience. The two talked for seven days and seven nights, and Huang Zu was completely impressed by Chang Zuo's knowledge and understanding. In addition, Chang Zuo was described as dignified, steady and elegant, and Huang Zu secretly had feelings in his heart. Love for a lifetime, no matter how difficult it is to get rid of, the more you don't want to think about it, the more you don't miss it, the more you miss it, so that you don't think about tea and food, and you look haggard and confused.
After listening, Li Xian decided to help the master fulfill his wish. She secretly stole the psychic cicada that Chang Zuo left for Huang Zu, sending a signal that she was in danger. Chang Zuo rushed back when he heard the news, and Li Xian told Chang Zuo about Huang Zu's intentions.
It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and Chang Zuo refuses because he is used to a carefree life. And Huang Zu had actually discovered Li Xian's small movements, and he didn't stop them, and he had been watching from the dark. Seeing that Chang Zuo was about to leave again, he didn't know what year or month he wanted to see him again, so he mustered up the courage to stand up. She looked at Chang Zuo speechlessly, and just asked for a long time, "When will you come again?"
Chang Zuo seemed to be a little unbearable, and said: "As long as you practice the pulse technique diligently and understand the truth, although the world is vast, you will meet again if you have a fate." According to Chang Zuo's thoughts, he felt that as long as Huang Zu truly realized the Tao, this feeling would naturally disappear. However, he underestimated the magic of language and the madness of women. Now that Huang Zu has hope, she can no longer meditate and cultivate, and the slightest mistake and frustration will make her thunderous. The demons are quietly growing.
Soon, Jiashui County transferred a new county order, and the new county order had a prodigal son who had been obsessed with cultivating immortals since he was a child. He heard in the market that Li Xian, who lived in a thatched hut outside the city, knew how to do pulse techniques, so he immediately rushed over and pulled three boxes of greeting gifts, hoping to worship Li Xian as a teacher.
Li Xian asked Huang Zu for his opinion, but Huang Zu didn't bother with these at all. Li Xian took it upon himself to accept the county commander's son, but only taught him some fur. Unexpectedly, among the three boxes of gifts sent by the county commander, Li Xian accidentally found a strange book, which recorded a lot of pulse techniques and pulse arrays, although most of them were fake, but some of them were true.
After Li Xian read it, he didn't know much about it, so he dedicated the book to Huang Zu. After Huang Zu got this book, he went into retreat for more than three months and mastered those pulse array techniques. She found that although one of the pulse arrays was powerful, it was very vicious, and she needed to absorb the essence and flesh of others to enhance her own strength. At that time, Huang Zu's conscience was still clear, and he no longer cultivated this evil array, nor did he pass it on to Li Xian. Although Li Xian was dissatisfied, he did not dare to force it.
One day, the county commander raised his own son to show off his flying skills to a group of flattering younger brothers, but unfortunately fell off the cliff and died. Those attendants were so frightened that they ran back, adding fuel and vinegar to put all the blame on Li Xian's head. After hearing this, the new county magistrate was very angry, and felt that Li Xian was a god who deceived the people with evil words, and ordered her to move out of this place. Li Xi did not comply. The county magistrate sent someone to her house to drive her away. But those officials were Li Xian's opponents, and they were beaten to the ground in two or three strokes. The confused county order followed the master's advice and sent people to burn Li Xian's house and Huang Zu's main tree with fire in the middle of the night. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, Huang Zu was completely enraged by Li Xian's words.
That night, the county commander dreamed of a woman in Chinese clothes who said to him very angrily: "If you want to kill me, I must make you pay!" Since that day, there have always been people dying inexplicably every night in Jiashui County. The death was so tragic that the county commander saw the body of the deceased, covered his face with his sleeves, and fled in panic. More than 40 days later, the county magistrate finally fell insane, described as withered, and only rolled in feces and urine.
Huang Zu's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and even she feels incredible. She was ready to use the evil array to scare and scare the county order. But after she absorbed the essence and blood of those officials who had come to set fires, her skills improved greatly in a short period of time, and she couldn't stop anymore, and more and more people were killed.
For some reason, Chang Zuo noticed something unusual. He rushed back to Jiashui County, found Huang Zu, and persuaded her not to continue. But Huang Zu's strength at that time was no longer below Chang Zuo, she intended to show it in front of Chang Zuo, and the two of them fought while talking.
The two sides launched a pulse battle outside the city of Jiashui County. After all, Chang Zuo is a veteran who has traveled all over the world, even if the strength of the pulse spirit is comparable, he is more skilled and refined than Huang Zu in the use of pulse techniques. One hundred and ten rounds came and went, and Huang Zu saw that he was at a disadvantage, even if he had Li Xian by his side, he would definitely lose. Huang Zu was annoyed and ashamed, and the demons in his heart suddenly rose, and he used the pulse technique to rain down the storm. This is the last killer weapon she has prepared.
After a while, except for Li Xian's thatched hut and big trees intact, I saw that the places within a radius of more than ten miles and the county town of Jiashui had fallen into an ocean. The people struggled and cried in the flood, but Huang Zu took advantage of the situation to move the pulse array and absorb their essence and blood.
Chang Zuo saw that the catastrophe was cast, sighed, took out an artifact from his arms, and threw it into the sky. The artifact shot out a thousand rays of light, illuminating the entire heaven and earth in an instant. Suddenly, the flood receded, the sun was shining, and the world was full of life again.
Huang Zu and Li Xian were stunned by the sight in front of them, and they couldn't imagine how this was done at all. You know, it's easy to destroy something, but it's even harder to restore it to the sky than to ascend to the sky.
Chang Zuo didn't hide it, telling them that he had just sealed the place with an artifact. Within the realm of this artifact's creation, he could do whatever he wanted, and he could easily defeat them.
However, Huang Zucai absorbed a huge pulse spirit, although he was intimidated by the artifact, he was extremely unwilling in his heart, and said hatefully: "Maybe I really can't fight you, but I have spent so much effort, you want me to stop just by saying a word, it's really wishful thinking!"
Chang Zuo said majestically: "You have made a big mistake, but you are still obsessed, then don't blame me for not being emotional." ”
When Huang Zu heard this, he smiled sadly: "Do you know what all this is for? It's not all for you! Even if I am at fault, it is still your fault in the final analysis!"
Chang Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, and then said solemnly: "A mistake is a mistake, wantonly poisoning living beings will definitely violate the way of heaven." The world is not about what you want and what you get. There is still something to be done gradually, but if it is not your fate, you will take shortcuts, and you will not end well..."
Huang Zu said angrily: "Shut up, what kind of heavenly principle is the cycle of heaven and earth." If the heavens stand in my way, I will destroy them, and if the earth will stop me, I will destroy them. I don't want much, don't you understand!" she roared hoarsely, and gathered the veins of her whole body to strike at Huang Zu. This blow is not trivial, and it really has an earth-shaking force.
Chang Zuo sighed lightly, and in the face of the overwhelming attack, he only gently pushed forward with his right palm. The space three zhang away in front of him cracked like ice chips, cracks like crazy vines, and in an instant, they enveloped Huang Zu's vein. Chang Zuo twisted his wrist and twisted it like a twist, easily churning Huang Zu's strongest blow into pieces. Raise your left palm again, and push it again. Huang Zu felt as if he was frozen in ice, and he couldn't move for half a minute.
Li Xian saw that such a powerful blow from his master Huang Zu was easily defused by Chang Zuo, and he thought that his words were true, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Chang Zuo ignored her first, turned around and flew into the air, opened his arms, closed his eyes and meditated. Just watch countless shadows rise from the original site of the county seat of Jiaxian, and then continue to shoot into the main tree of Huang Zu. He followed Chang Zuo to the top of the tree and sat down cross-legged.
In a few moments, in the sky, on the ground, and in the water, all those creatures who were lucky not to be drowned by the flood gathered over. They include hundreds of thousands of birds that originally lived on the big tree of Huangzu's body, fish swimming in the water, and various surviving insects. Humans and beasts alike were all killed by the flood and the pulse arts, except for Li Xian and one of her greyhounds.
Chang Zuo slowly stretched out his index finger and concentrated on it, and these insects, birds, fish and crabs actually lost their feathers, carapaces and scales, and gradually turned into human shapes. With another finger, countless faint shadows that had just flown into the big tree fell like a torrential rain, and quickly disappeared without a trace when they touched the newborn humanoids. These figures are the first group of people who can only survive in this vein realm. Chang Zuo reshaped the bodies of insects, birds, and fish, and summoned the souls of the dead in Jiashui County to move into their bodies, so that the people were both human, and some of them retained their natural habits as fish, birds, and reptiles.
After Chang Zuo finished this, he looked at Li Xian and Huang Zu, and said thoughtfully: "God has the virtue of a good life, as long as you are self-disciplined and reform from now on, I don't want to live and kill more." As he spoke, he waved his hand and untied Huang Zu. Huang Zu only felt that his whole body was crisp, and he sat down on the ground softly. Chang Zuo took out a turquoise bracelet from his arms and threw it into the water, and the bracelet grew into the water. In an instant, a giant python with a clear green body sprang out of the river.
"This is an oyster snake, and if you do any more wrongdoing, it will come out and devour you. If you are dedicated to goodness and help people live, one day it will also allow you to get out of the veins. After speaking, Chang Zuo pointed to Huang Zu and Li Xian again. The two of them, along with the grass hut, shrank rapidly, until they were the same size as those people. When they looked at the giant python again, it was really shaped like a mountain, and its mouth was like an abyss, and it really wanted to devour the two of them, and it was indeed as easy as a palm. The python demonstratively swam in the water and then "poofed" into the water.
After Chang Zuo arranged everything, he turned into a golden light and broke through the air. However, at this time, he did not go out of the pulse realm, but went to a place to place the artifact. Because the continuous operation of the Pulse Realm must be supported by the Artifact Pulse Spirit, he must place the artifact in a safe and proper way. Chang Zuo chose an island in the Shenxin Lake basin, not far from the withered tree. There, he built a temple out of artifacts and placed them in the deepest part of the temple. As for the secret words that can enter the temple to obtain the artifact, Chang Zuo divided it into two parts, and engraved them into the minds of the ancestors of the Ao Ling royal family and the silver rohu royal family with pulse techniques respectively. The people of the Silver Rohu royal clan have the secret language to enter the temple and crack the mechanism of the temple, but in order to enter the temple, they must be members of the royal family of Orling. Only by combining the secret words of the two tribes can they realize the ultimate secret language and finally find the artifact.
After building the temple, Chang Zuo Daxian left with confidence. Li Xian and Huang Zu tried all kinds of methods to break out of the pulse realm, but they were all in vain. Moreover, whenever Huang Zu activated the evil pulse array to absorb the essence blood of the thunderbolt, the oyster snake would immediately appear and devour her. As soon as she stopped, the oyster snake stopped pursuing. After several times, Huang Zu finally gave up the idea of fighting and began to seriously think about what Chang Zuo had said. She and Li Xian tried to pass on what they knew to the people.
As a result, the people learned a unified language, and learned various skills such as weaving, refining, farming, and building houses. They also established their own tribes in various places according to their own ethnic groups and living habits, forming different societies and cultures. The vein realm has slowly become what it is today.
