Chapter 671: Into the Abyss (30)
The lamp, the fire, the lighting, the sacrificial utensils, as early as Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci, Summoning the Spirit" have been recorded: the blue paste is bright, and the stirrup is wrong. However, the flame of this broad bean is a metaphor for other meanings, containing a sense of spirituality and hope, expressing people's mourning for the dead.
In the days when Qinglianzi escaped to the dream world, she also traveled to many places in the dream world, among which she went to the temple ruins mentioned before, which has been abandoned for many years and is one of the few artificial ruins in the dream world, where Qinglianzi found the thing about the black light.
The ruins and broken walls all over the ground, from the bricks and tiles scattered around, it can be seen that it should have been a temple before, but this temple is a little strange, not a monk or a Taoist, the statue of the god of worship fell to the ground and only half a body, four-legged, six-legged, many animals snuggled on it to lick it, this kind of god has not even seen the well-informed green lotus seed, I can't help but be a little strange, speculating that the dream world once had its own civilization, so it also formed its own religion? But after looking at the remaining wood carving decorations on the edge of the window, he decisively rejected his idea, because from the perspective of craftsmanship, it implies a lot of hollowing and polishing skills, which is obviously the real world of human beings, so it means that this is also built by foreign humans, why build such a strange temple here? There are still such strange gods enshrined? Qinglianzi thought for a long time, guessing that there were a lot of gods and totems worshiped in ancient times, maybe it was established by some human beings who fled here in exile.
The area of the ruins is not large, but the workmanship is very exquisite, when I found that Dugu Wu here was devoted to the practice, there was no talent of Qinglianzi to read the knowledge of ten thousand families, so there was no conclusion, and Qinglianzi is three religions and nine streams of everything, from the small ruins to see a lot of things, those only a little trace of wood carving, the decoration of the eaves, the murals on the moss-covered stones, you can conclude how brilliant this place was once feelings.
Qinglianzi stayed in this ruins for a long time, wiped off the dust and moss, after careful speculation on the murals found a very strange problem, that is, almost all the murals have a strange palace lamp pattern, the lamp is engraved with an inverted triangle eye, this is a strange thing, since the ancient temple murals, the description is auspicious clouds, the pattern of all living beings worshiping, in order to express the wish of the gods to be worshipped, although the temple has built the form of the temple, but there is no bronze bell, no religious classics, all the murals have the same black palace lamp figure, so strangeใ
After escaping to the dream world, Qinglianzi knew that he would not be able to get out for a while, so he simply had nothing to do, so he carefully studied this ruin, the main purpose was also to get out, Qinglianzi saw that this was built by human beings, since there were humans who had been here before, then there might be a way to get out, because looking at the craftsmanship of this temple, it is very exquisite and not like it was built in a hurry, so the builder must have carefully planned, people can go out maybe they can also go out, Qinglianzi showed the craftsmanship of the rivers and lakes, and started the restoration of the murals, hoping to find out the clues, at least figure out what is going onใ
Because too much time has passed, the work of restoring the mural is very slow, and the progress is very limited, and the only thing that is obtained is some unbelievable content, according to the description on the mural, Qinglianzi judged that this black lamp should be a terrible thing, the casting technique is not yet known, but it can gather the absurd selfish desires and ideas in the minds of all beings in the world, with the effect of turning ideas into reality, and it is a negative product of using human distortions and desires, this kind of thing is really unheard of, unseen, and I don't know whether it is true or false, Qinglianzi is well-read after allAfter thinking for a long time, everyone suddenly vaguely remembered that this thing was very similar to a Buddhist treasure in the hands of the Buddha recorded in the Buddhist classics.
Everything is very strange, Qinglianzi continued to check the three flavors, and gradually found some other things about this thing, such as the mural has shown that this black lamp was subdued by the Buddhist master for some special reasons, of course, the mural expresses a tall man who can't see the figure of the tall man holding a black lamp, a face of righteousness, making a generous and righteous appearance to protect in front of everyone, and the Buddhist monks on the opposite side surrounded the man, depicting a picture of the more than the less, bullying the weak, and then, this lamp seems to have been done by the Buddhist disciples, the mural is too old, it is really difficult to restore, it can only be seen that this lamp is not as good as beforeIts worshippers wept bitterly, kneeling on the ground, the black lamp was suppressed by the Buddhist monks with supreme supernatural powers, and then made a crescent lamp twist, through the content of the mural, it seems that the black lamp will complete a thing every time it is lit once, and as long as there is a lamp twisted in the hand, then you can extinguish the fire at any time, so that all the hard work of the black light is in vain.
"Light it up, extinguish it?" Chu Xunyu was stunned, although he had known about the twist of the lamp for a long time, but he had never heard that this lamp could be lit, last time because of Yan Shang's matter, he always thought that this lamp had some evil doors, which could tempt others to go on the evil path, but he didn't expect it to be lit, so he told Yan Shang about it, hoping that Qinglianzi would solve his doubts.
Qinglianzi couldn't help but smile contemptuously after listening to Chu Xunyu's description, and said coldly: "This kid you said is just a dull person, his consciousness is not strong, and his selfish desires are too great, and he has been tempted by such evil things. Hatred and other negative emotions give them a chance to take advantage of it, and then go down the evil path, saying that it is related to this black light, but it is too much to elevate themselves, this lamp is not an extraordinary thing, it is very good to be able to light it, and being tempted by it is also inferior, which can only show that they are useless. โ
According to the description on the mural, you need to promise something to light this lamp, and you can light it up after the black light agrees, and I don't know what will happen after it is lit, but Chu Xunyu also put forward his own opinion, since this black light is not an idle thing, then what can you promise to light up this thing? soul exercises? or what kind of natural treasure?
Qinglianzi shook her head and told Chu Xunyu that according to the mural painting and what she thought, the conditions for lighting it up may not be fixed, but whether you are willing to "sacrifice your most precious things".
"Sacrifice?" Chu Xunyu was very puzzled.
"Hmm. Qinglianzi nodded, "My understanding is this, the key is whether we are willing to sacrifice our most beloved things, if a beggar, hungry for a few days, suddenly has a bowl of hot rice, then this is his most important and precious thing, then promise this bowl of hot rice can light the lights, but if it is a rich emperor, sitting on the world, then even if the thousand bowls of delicacies and seas to promise is useless, unless he can give up his most beloved emperor, so it does not matter the size of the promise, but whether he dares to sacrifice." โ
"That's it!" Chu Xunyu suddenly realized, then he remembered the willow spring Yujun on the top of Mount Tai, she is not good at words, the most precious thing is that the relatives of the master are about to ascend to miss her, but because of the "truth" reason that the public loss is difficult, a bunch of people said something that should not be said, and finally made himself have mixed feelings, and he couldn't let go of this thought, this thought is her most precious thing, and then, she cut off a part of the brain to make a secret realm, and retained this thought, it should be like this.
"What about the lamp twist?" Chu Xunyu asked again.
Qinglianzi continued, according to his own understanding, the lamp twist is actually a very chicken thing, according to the mural description, once someone lights up the black lamp, and the descendants leave the lamp will be extinguished, the lamp twist is useless at this time, only the promise himself to come back to the black lamp to wake up the flame, and then you must hold the lamp twist yourself to extinguish the flame, others can not be found. Hearing this news, Chu Xunyu really couldn't laugh or cry, do you want to tell those people in black to take the lamp twist to cut off the black lamp they dreamed of? This is equivalent to letting a snake devour its own tail, it must be an impossible dead cycle, what is the use of such a chicken lamp twist?
Qing Lianzi could tell Chu Xunyu so much, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, this is just my personal speculation based on the things that I can't see clearly on the mural, maybe it's not like this, you have to have confidence." โ
Chu Xunyu nodded silently, and then asked: "Ancestor, according to the agreement, I will also fulfill my promise after you tell me these things, tell me, how to identify those dream things." โ
