Chapter 185: Sunset Village
The village on the shore of the floating sea is called Rixi Village.
Although it is a village, it occupies a lot of land day and night. Because of the long coastline and good scenery, there are many people who come here to play, and this Rixi village is now about the size of three Yanjiao. And there is a long road from the low mountain forest where the four people converge to the entrance of the village. The four of them walked all the way, Di Yu Dabao hid in the dark, Ah Lu and Dong Junqin whispered in private, and Nangong Lu was very bored by being incognito.
Finally, I walked down the low mountain, and at this time, I saw a large orange-red circle slowly moving upward from the end of the sea, illuminating the sea surface like a gold and silver treasure. Subsequently, the sea fog was dispelled by the sun, and the three big characters of Rixi Village appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Nangong Lu "touched the scene" and couldn't help but say to the three of them: "Do you know how the name Rixi Village came about?"
Three: ......
To be honest, Ah Lu and Dong Junqin have both passed through Rixi Village, and even passed by many times, but the two have never really entered.
Dong Junqin knows that the name is taken from the local scenery: "Rixi Village is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset on the sea in the Central Plains. Therefore, it is called day and night. ”
Nangong Lu nodded, this statement is the explanation of the local government. But for him, who has been to the village three times, the name has a more interesting origin: "But I've heard another way of saying it. Rixi means evening and dusk. It is said that when the sun sets again at dusk, a new day begins in the world under the sea, and the people of the village turn into fish and return to the sea. ”
When Ah Lu heard this explanation, he immediately wondered: "Become a fish?"
Nangong Law: "Yes, turn into a fish." “
However, Dong Junqin dismantled the stage very shamelessly and said: "Then may I ask the prince of Nangong, you have entered Rixi Village three times, can you see any people who turn into fish and return to the sea after dusk?"
Nangong Lu laughed a few times, and then immediately changed the conversation: "By the way, do you know why the floating sea is called the floating sea?"
Dong Junqin shook his head helplessly, and threw out a sentence: "Whenever the sun rises and sets, when you look at the sea from Rixi Village, you will see a piece of water hanging in the air, and there is no support at all below, so it is called floating sea." However, many Xuanmen Taoist priests came here to verify that in fact, this floating island is because the sunlight and the unique underwater plant color of the floating sea overlap, which will form a completely peculiar color. In addition, at sunrise and sunset, because of the temperature, there is a flocculent mist on the sea surface, which looks like a piece of water hanging in the air from a distance."
Nangong Lu originally wanted to say something interesting to ease the tense atmosphere, but he didn't expect Dong Junqin to be truthful and too boring: "Dong Junqin, don't be so rigid! Moreover, the rumors I heard are completely different from you, the water floating on the sea. The floating tweed in the word floating sea originally referred to a boulder floating in the sky, on which lived an immortal, the immortal main water, discharged the water that the stone could not hold into the mortal world, and the immortal water gathered into the sea. Therefore, it is called the floating sea. ”
Di Yu listened to the two of them talking one by one, and suddenly remembered something. Di Yu should not use spiritual power, for fear of disturbing the "chasing soldiers" behind him, so Dabao said for him: "Di Yu asked, is that boulder a stone like a mountain?"
Nangong Lu nodded proudly when he heard the question: "Look, there is indeed such a statement!"
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said that he seems to remember that there is still a floating sea in this Rixi Village, which seems to have something to do with the Shengsheng Stone." Oh, it's not a living stone, it's something to do with Chongyun. ”
Dong Junqin: "Chongyun?
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said that it was about many years ago, when the mortal realm had just been established, and there were not many mortals, so there were not many people. One day, a little spirit who had become an immortal reported to the heavenly realm. When Yang Shen checked his records before becoming an immortal, he mentioned that he had passed by a seaside village before his death. He said that there were no people in the village, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled who had difficulty walking, and the young and strong people had left the village and migrated elsewhere because they were not adaptable. “
It turned out that when the mortal world was first established, the flesh that the Yin and Yang God gave to mortals was much stronger than it is now. That little spirit felt strange, let's not talk about the old and weak, what's the matter with this sick and disabled? So he stayed and asked, and when he asked, he learned that there were monsters on the sea opposite this village.
And these monsters are a floating mountain on the sea hundreds of miles from the village. The monsters on the floating mountain eat young children. Although the village has organized several demon suppression operations, let alone demon suppression, even Fushan has only been seen but no one has ever actually reached it.
The villagers had no choice but to slowly move to live elsewhere. And those who can't leave, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled stay, and live a day-by-day life.
This little spirit also wanted to help them, but the mountain rock was hidden by the thick fog, and it was really difficult to find. With his cultivation, he searched for it several times in vain, and finally had to give up.
After Xiao Ling ascended to immortal, he saw so many powerful immortals in the heavenly realm, and remembered this unfinished matter, so he asked the Yin Yang God to send someone to investigate. Even if no one lives in that village after that, it would be a good thing to destroy these youkai alone.
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said that it was Chongyun who was sent by the Yang God Temple to investigate this matter at that time. ”
Chongyun came to the place that the little fairy said, and when he looked at it from front to back, left and right, he felt that there was a faint divine power on the sea. He guessed that the mountain rock floating on the water was the abode of a certain heavenly god, and it was about the time of the battle between gods and demons, when the abode was destroyed and a mountain stone fell to the mortal world. Later, after a period of time, the divine power in the mountain stone dispersed, and only then did it reveal a vague appearance in front of mortals. However, since it is a god-dwelling mountain stone, Chongyun is not easy to destroy on his own initiative. I had to go back and ask the god, and after receiving the order, I brought a few people back to destroy the stone.
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said that this kind of thing from the Heavenly Realm falling into the mortal world often happened in the first few years of the establishment of the mortal world, so at the beginning he only knew about it. However, one day, when he returned to the Yang Temple, he heard that Chongyun had been punished by the Yin Yang God, saying that he had rebelled against the demons. ”
Only then did Emperor Yu know that after Chongyun's investigation, he told the Heavenly Realm that there were no monsters on the mountain stone, so he only mentioned the destruction of the stone.
But who knew that the little fairy suddenly came to the interest one day and wanted to revisit the old place. When he returned to the village, he found that there were still monsters in the village.
This matter pierced the heavenly realm. The Yin Yang God sent someone to investigate again, only to find out that Chongyun did not kill those monsters, but only destroyed the stones. His reason was that those monsters were originally the same spirits as the little fairy, and the reason why they became monsters was because the Heavenly Realm failed to take care of its own things and let it fall into the still fragile mortal realm. The divine energy in the mountain stone attracted some mortal fetuses and spirits whose cultivation was still low and mentally incomplete, and this was the so-called monster.
So Chongyun gave them a way to survive and threw them into the bottom of the sea, hoping that the water of heaven and earth would slowly purify them. But looking at the results, there are still some youkai that have not been purified. “
When Dong Junqin heard this, he couldn't help but think of the back: "Could it be that the punishment given to Chongyun by the Yin and Yang God is to guard the Shengsheng Stone?"
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said yes. ”
Ah Lu: "In this way, we Chongyun are quite merciful. ”
Dabao: "Emperor Yu said that he would not agree with Miss Alu's statement. He said that when the Heavenly Realm established the Mortal Realm to divide the six realms, it was to ensure the order of all spirits in the heavens and the earth. And according to the original plan, with the reincarnation of the six realms slowly improving the dinner, the people in the six realms will be able to slowly know how to behave in the world. This is called every man having his own vocation, each having his own way. But those monsters that Chongyun let go, if they were born like that, it would be fine, but they were mutated because of the falling rocks in the heavenly realm. The variation in this case is not tolerated by the six realms. In this way, they cannot find their place, and can only be driven by instinct. And for those mortals who were harmed by it, wouldn't it be another dereliction of duty in the heavenly realm to let these monsters go. “
Ah Lu trembled when he heard this: "That Emperor Yu, you live on Dabao, and you provoke Dabao to be pointed at like that, what kind of position is this? According to your statement, Dabao should also die?"
Dong Junqin originally thought that Di Yu's words were a bit excessive, but he didn't expect Ah Lu to react so quickly this time, and he directly shut up Di Yu with a word.
Dabao heard Di Yu's inner thoughts, and said to Ah Lu with a low smile: "Ah Lu girl, I didn't expect you to be a ruthless person. ”
Dabao's praise, Ah Lu gladly accepted, and even did not forget to thank him: "If I were Chongyun and wanted me to agree to destroy those monsters, I would have to ask the immortal of the god dwelling to come down to accompany me, and then destroy those monsters." There are unjust debtors and masters, and all the spirits in this world were not created by your yin and yang gods, so why do you say that they shouldn't live and shouldn't live?"
At this time, Di Yu finally couldn't help but speak to himself: "Ah Lu, what I said just now, I thought Dong Junqin would say it, Nangong Lu would say it, but I didn't expect you to say it." You are born as a remnant soul, and you know the matter of the six realms of reincarnation best, but now that you have a long heart, why can't you see it? Think about it, if Chongyun killed those monsters at that time, their spirits would be purified by the Creation Stone, and then reincarnated in the world, and it would be a good start to be a man and a beast again. Isn't this just the right thing to set things right? However, Chongyun left the mistake behind. If those monsters do more wrong things like this, won't they be punished and punished when they die and enter the netherworld? In this case, who will pay the debt of their suffering? Or if they fall into the demon path and never return to the mortal world, who will be responsible at that time?"
What Alu said is reasonable, but Diyu's explanation is also reasonable. Alu does know the Netherworld, but perhaps after a long heart, she can't hear the word "death", even if she knows better than anyone else that death is not the end.
The four of them were silent for a long time, and at this time they happened to walk to the entrance of Rixi Village.
Looking at the heads of people coming and going, Di Yu sighed and said, "I'm not talking about these things to argue about who is right and who is wrong. After becoming a fallen god, I sometimes think back to the past. Whether it is a god or a demon or a monster, we have long been unable to tell what is right and what is wrong in these things we do. When I talk to you about this, I just want to say that Chongyun, the god, is a very soft-hearted lord. He thinks about things and does things too optimistically, or too ruthlessly. ”
After Di Yu finished speaking, he took Dabao to hide in the shadows again.
Ah Lu recalled Di Yu's last sentence, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I don't know if it's because she thinks she's one with Chongyun so she fights for Chongyun, or if Ah Lu really thinks that Chongyun's approach is right and is not convinced.
However, Dong Junqin heard the true meaning of Emperor Yu's words, which was a reminder: Chongyun's heart was too soft, so when he sealed Ning Xi in the Creation Stone, it was likely that he would also leave some hidden dangers because of his soft heart, and when they found the Creation Stone, these hidden dangers might evolve into a mistake that would affect human life.
Nangong Lu watched the two of them have a bitter face at the same time, and hurriedly enlivened the atmosphere: "I said, are we going to walk around the village now, or do we go directly into the water?"
Ah Lu: "Let's inquire about what Di Yu said first." ”
Nangong Lu didn't expect that he looked at Dong Junqin and motioned to him: Ah Lu is on a bar with Emperor Yu?
Dong Junqin was worried that Ah Lu really regarded Chongyun as his own and wanted to reverse the situation of those monsters he left behind back then, so he said in his heart: "Ah Lu, this matter has passed for at least 10,000 years, and we will go to Zhihe City later, so you don't care, right?"
Ah Lu pouted: "I didn't want to worry about it. However, if there are really monsters under the water, wouldn't we be able to use them to drag the people behind us?"
Dong Junqin: ......
Nangong Law: ......
Ah Lu's words are very reasonable, Dong Junqin originally wanted to let Nangong Lu change his appearance, and then Di Yu condensed a phantom of Ah Lu, and then lured them into the water together and dragged them down. However, A-law mentioned that if there were really monsters in the water, the matter would be much simpler.
So they followed Dong Junqin's habit and went into a teahouse to inquire about the news.
If you want to say that this Rixi Village is really a famous seaview village in the Central Plains, it has only been a while, and the teahouse is already overcrowded.
Ah Lu has never been here, and he is not afraid of eating in the teahouse early in the morning.
Dong Junqin and Nangong Lu were embarrassed, and said in unison: "This tea is not the other tea, this is the habit of the people in the southeast, they use breakfast to eat morning tea." ”
Ah Lu sighed embarrassedly, and then followed Dong Junqin into a good private room. Dong Junqin set up an enchantment around the private room, and the first few followers couldn't control them for the time being, and Nangong Lu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The three of them ordered a table of dishes, and Dong Junqin also picked expensive points, and in the end, even the shopkeeper came to Cai in person.
This business has made money, and some words are naturally much easier to ask. Dong Junqin gave a little talk, and the shopkeeper gushed all the old bottoms of Rixi Village. It's a pity that the three of them listened for a long time, but found that the law and order in the village were good, and there had never been any monsters eating people for hundreds of years. As for the floating island, although there is a legend, no one has seen it for a hundred years.
Shopkeeper: "Oh, it's not that no one has seen it, I remember that there is an old man in the village who seems to have seen it." ”
The old man looked at each other and decided to visit.
