Chapter 393: The Land of the Nine Secluded Places
Lin Sen wandered around the universe at will, and when he saw those non-human civilizations, he was still a little unaccustomed to them.
Now that the Blue Star Alliance has spread across nine universes, its influence is gradually expanding, from the initial violent rule to the governance of civilization.
Due to the different cultural beliefs of different civilizations, Lin Sen could not implement the rules set by Lin Sen at the beginning, which is why he sent his children, and now they are doing well, and everything is developing in a good direction.
The essence of man, god, immortal, Tao, civilization, and the world......
This is the question that Lin Sen is thinking about now, Lin Sen found the ruins of the Heavenly Court, put them all away, and went to the ruins of the Immortal Realm, where there was nothing.
Looking at the empty void, Lin Sen left, and when he left, seven figures appeared.
"Why are we avoiding him?"
"We can't stop him from discovering the truth, but our identity doesn't allow us to help him, so it's better not to see him. ”
After the two of them finished speaking, the others nodded one after another, and the seven figures disappeared again, and Lin Sen didn't notice it at all.
Leaving the void, Lin Sen came to the most mysterious place in Kyushu - Nine Shadows.
Nine shades refers to the lowest place in the world, and the fairy world is corresponding, saying that the sky has nine heavens, the earth has nine earths, "nine shadows" is a quantity word, the word "quiet, dark and hidden".
The nine characters in the Nine Shadows are only because they are the largest number in the singular number of numbers and the most noble in the number, so they have the meaning of "limit".
Jiuyou is not in any universe, he is the bottom of Qianzhou, Lin Sen also knew about this place before, but he didn't care.
It's a dark space with a lot of bumpy terrain and even more rugged mountains.
Grim as the ridge of Sichuan, high as the rock of Lushan, not the famous mountain of the Yang world, but the dangerous place of the Yin Division.
There are ghosts and monsters hidden in thorns on both sides of the road, and there are evil demons hidden in the stone cliffs, and the noise of beasts and birds can not be heard in the ears, and ghosts and demons can be seen in front of you.
The wind was blowing, and the black fog was long.
The wind is blowing, and it is the smoke coming from the whistle of the divine soldiers, and the black fog is thick, and it is the sneaky spewing out of air.
There are mountains, peaks, mountains, caves, and streams;
There are spirits in front of the shore, and there are gods and demons under the mountains. Wild ghosts are collected in the cave, and evil spirits are hidden at the bottom of the stream.
is so eerie and terrifying, even Lin Sen feels uncomfortable, this is the real underworld, a completely dark world.
This space is not small, equivalent to a universe, there is a big mountain in front of it, called Yin Back Mountain, "Back Yin Mountain" is what Taoists call "Void Danger Cave" or "Void Danger Mountain", which is a place of pure yin and no yang.
There are 2918 hells behind Yinshan, and all things in Qianzhou have to go through the judgment of Senluo Hall before deciding the wheel of life and death, so the Hades Palace is called "Senluo Palace", that is, the meaning of "Vientiane Senluo".
Later, the prefecture of Kyushu was built based on this.
Suddenly talking about the Nine Shades, it was a bit abrupt. Many people have rarely heard of it, but they still start from mythology, trace back to the source, and find out, its source is related to the return to the ruins.
Returning to the ruins is also known as "returning to the void".
Legend has it that the bottomless valley of the sea, the place where all the waters meet, according to mythology, the rivers of the world, the universe, and even the water in the heavenly galaxy finally converge into this primitive and mysterious bottomless pit.
However, the magical water in the ruins does not increase or decrease in the slightest because of this, because it is the heart that connects the upper universe (fairy world) and the middle universe (heavenly court).
Guixu and Kunlun are located in the east and west of the Zhongzhou area respectively, Kunlun has disappeared now, and Guixu only exists in legends.
"Liezi Tang Wen": "In the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know hundreds of millions of miles, there is a big gully, but there is a bottomless valley, and below... In addition, the confluence of the sea and the mountains......
There are five sacred mountains in "Guixu", that is, "Daiyu", "Yuanqiao", "Fanghu", "Yingzhou", "Penglai", each sacred mountain is 30,000 miles high, and between the mountains is 70,000 miles.
In fact, it used to be the five sacred mountains of Kyushu, but later Kyushu was separated, and the five sacred mountains became five Dao stars, and the ancient monks were all on the mountain, and mortals lived under the mountain.
In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Feng Zen Book", the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou are vividly depicted, and they are not groundless.
Therefore, King Qi Wei and King Yan Zhao sent explorers to the sea to seek sacred mountains, Qin Shi Huang toured the east to seek medicine, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited immortals.
According to historical records, there are often sea markets on the north sea surface of Penglai City, which are dispersed into gas, gathered and formed, ethereal, and unpredictable.
Those good deeds used the illusory magic of the sea market to deduce the legend of the three sacred mountains on the sea, depicting a vivid and vivid fairy world that the world yearns for.
And these worlds are actually real, and the reason why they are at sea is because the sea is vast, more like a big screen.
The monks of the five Dao Stars wanted to contact the Ancestral Star, so they projected in this way, hoping to guide the monks of the Blue Star to find them.
However, the ancient inheritance was severed, the boundaries of the nine universes became more and more distinct, and the immortal realm appeared, so there were fewer and fewer immortals in Blue Star.
In addition to this, there are two places in the mortal world, the hidden capital and the black water.
The secluded capital is called the capital of the underworld. "Chu Ci Summoning Spirits": "The soul returns, and you have no place in this secluded capital." ”
Wang Yi's note: "The secluded capital, the underground and the soil are also governed." The underground netherworld, so it is called the hidden capital. ”
Song Wenying's "Jade Pot Qinghua" Volume 6: "Shangqing Daolu Jiang Daoyuan is the public knocking on the hidden capital, begging for the gods." ”
The ruler there is called Tubo, and the place where Tubo rules is called Youdu. "The secluded capital, the underground and the back of the earth, the underground and the underworld, so it is called the secluded capital. ”
The Houtu mentioned here is the land god mentioned above, and Houtu is also known as Tubo in the netherworld.
Regarding the situation of Youdu, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea" says: Within the North Sea, there is a mountain called Youdu Mountain.
Black water flows from there, and there are black birds, black snakes, black panthers, black tigers, black unkempt tailed foxes on it.
Tubo looked terrible, holding nine ropes in his hands, with sharp horns on his head, and bloody hands on his back, chasing people quickly, with three eyes, a tiger's head, and a body like an ox, and treating people as delicious.
The land god, who had already been personified, became very terrifying after entering the Netherworld, and returned to the form of a beast.
Tubo is unfamiliar to many people, but he also has a name, Houtu.
Tubo is the doppelganger or incarnation of Houtu, in the hidden capital, he is the image of a strange beast that combines tigers and cows, her magic is comparable to that of a saint, and she was the one who became the master at the beginning!
As for Heishui, the name Heishui has been seen in classics such as "Shangshu Yugong", "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Notes on the Book of Water", and "Notes on the Bracket". Among them, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the most recorded, and the record of "Yu Gong" is the most valued by the academic community.
The black water theory in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is indeed noteworthy, but this famous "geography witch book" repeatedly renders the mysterious river of black water.
Second, the black water described in this book can be found in a total of 15 records, and although it is impossible to summarize the "geo" of the waterway, we can sketch a rough outline of it.
From the source, the black water comes from the mountain of the secluded capital in the North Sea!
From the northwest corner of Kunlun or Kunlun Hill, from the mountain of non-ginger in the great wilderness. Its starting point is the underworld of the West Pole.
And the underworld here is Kunlun, not the Nine Shadows, but both are related to the Nine Shadows, which shows that this river is not simple!
