Chapter 115: Little Hedgehog
"Mingyang Fairy, is this hedgehog Xiao Bai, could it be the Bai Daxian of the legendary Great Immortal Hall?" Jing Tai asked curiously.
"It can't be counted, Xiaobai can only be regarded as a little fairy, and he is also a little fairy who has just become a little immortal. "Mingyang Fairy is down-to-earth and generous, talks freely, and is not pretentious, and tells the two of them a secret.
It turns out that Xiaobai's hedgehog is not an ordinary hedgehog, but a hedgehog that is on its way to immortality.
In fact, the hedgehog is not a rare animal in the Northeast, but it is impossible to see a hedgehog in winter, because the hedgehog is to hibernate. Hedgehogs are isotherms because they cannot stably regulate their body temperature to keep it at the same level, so hedgehogs hibernate during the winter.
Hedgehogs are known to have hard spines all over their bodies except for their stomachs, and when they are in danger, they will roll up into a ball with thorns. Hedgehogs generally live in bushes, can swim, and are afraid of heat. Its form and docile personality are very cute, and some breeds are only slightly larger than the palm of the hand, so some people keep it as a pet abroad.
The hedgehog has a very long snout, and its sense of touch and smell is well developed. Its favorite food is ants and termites, and when it smells food underground, it digs a hole with its claws and then sticks its long, sticky tongue into the hole for a hearty meal. Because it preys on a large number of harmful insects, hedgehogs are beneficial animals to humans.
Unlike porcupines, hedgehogs cannot shed their spines. Because of his slow movements, he is sometimes run over by a high-speed car. The main predators of hedgehogs are carnivores such as martens, owls, and foxes.
When it finds something smelly in its environment, it chews it and spits it on its thorns to keep it smelly in the local environment to prevent it from being detected by predators, and also to make its thorns potentially contaminated with certain poisons to resist enemies attacking it. In fact, the hedgehog is a very withdrawn animal, living in the bushes, timid and easy to start, like quiet and disgusting, like dark and afraid of light, afraid of heat and cold. Hedgehogs are slow to move, and generally lie dormant at night. The hedgehog is a nest, hiding in the nest during the day and only coming out after dusk.
In general, hedgehogs tend to stay away from human areas and prefer to nest on the edge of wilderness or by streams.
However, this hedgehog named Xiaobai, because of the environment in which he lives, does not need to hibernate, and is even more capable than many cultivators. The reason for this is this altar, along with the surrounding formations.
"May I ask Fairy Mingyang, who is this altar worshipped?" Lao Wang asked a question that he had been asking for a long time.
"This altar is dedicated to the Houtu Temple, and the sacrifice is to the Houtu Niangniang. As soon as Fairy Mingyang said, the two suddenly realized.
Houtu is listed as one of the Six Emperors in the mythology of the Taoist system, and as opposed to the Jade Emperor ruling the heavens, she is the god who rules the earth.
The supreme god of Taoism should be the Three Clears and Six Emperors.
Taoist Sanqing originally refers to the three gods of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
Taishang Laojun's full name is Taiqing Realm Dachitian Daode Tianzun, referred to as Daode Tianzun, also known as Taishang Laojun, is the earliest supreme god worshiped in Taoism, or incarnated as Lao Tzu, and later due to the emergence of "one gas and three clears", from one god to three gods, Taishang Laojun is the third god of Sanqing. Lao Tzu, Lao Jun also.
The Six Emperors refer to the Central Jade Emperor, the North Pole Zhongtian Ziwei Emperor, the South Pole Immortal Emperor, the East Pole Qinghua Emperor Taiyi Rescue Suffering Tianzun, the Western Taiji Emperor Emperor, and the Mother Earth Chengtian to follow the example of the Earth Emperor and the Earth.
The Jade Emperor is the embodiment of the Three Qings. Sanqing and the Jade Emperor are like the first nothingness and then the wonderful, the first Wuji and then the Taiji, the first inaction and then the promising.
The Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Gods, the Emperor of the Arctic of Zhongtian Ziwei, the Star Monarch of the Great Emperor in the Ziwei Wall, who lives in Zhongtian and the suzerain of all stars.
Gou Chen Shanggong Emperor is composed of the four stars on the left side of the North Pole Emperor Constellation, located in the same North Pole, as the pivot of the heavens.
Houtu Emperor Land is just a statue in the center of heaven and earth, she is a goddess, known as the Mother Earth, and the Jade Emperor is called Tiangong. In the temple built for her, she was portrayed as a dignified woman, and the general population called her Houtu Niangniang. It is believed that the deity is the protector of agriculture for a good harvest, the god of fertility, and the god of the earth.
From the emperor to the common people, they all worshipped the god very much. Throughout China's history, large ceremonies were held every year to worship the deity, many times presided over by the emperor himself. Moreover, the earth gods must be the essence of the earth system of the five elements.
Legend has it that the world was originally chaotic, and when the world first opened, there was no earth. After Pangu opened the world and separated the chaos, those who floated lightly with the clarity of qi were the sky, and those who condensed under the heavy turbidity of the qi were the earth. Instead, a trace of the Five Elements Earth Qi that was bred in the chaos gradually became the soil of the resting soil, which evolved into the earth and formed the current continents!
According to what Fairy Mingyang said, in the great array, perhaps on the altar, there must be a piece of rest. It's just that ordinary people don't have the way to enter the formation, and those who enter the formation may not have the opportunity to see the altar, and they don't bother to do it if they have absolute strength. So no one knows where it is, and it should always be kept.
Jingtai frowned: "Although Xiao Ke doesn't dare to be arrogant, he still has this common sense and discernment ability, I'm afraid that this is no longer in the array." ”
Fairy Mingyang also glanced at Jingtai again, and asked politely with three points: "This young man, how did you know that the archway is no longer in the array?"
Jing Tai's face was solemn, and he said with a smile: "The Great Array is refined on the basis of the power of this resting soil, and the purpose is to maintain the power of the Five Elements and the power of the formation. After a long period of evolution, the soil has become the soul of the formation. And the sanity of the array soul is comparable to that of ordinary people. ”
Fairy Mingyang glanced at Lao Wang, both of them were shocked, and said, "Could it be it?" The eyes of the three people were fixed on the gray hedgehog Xiaobai.
Xiaobai didn't seem to sense any surprise, and still sniffed the smell in the air with the tip of his small black nose. And in the big array, the three of them will feel a vast ancient rhyme coming from it, just like the earth's virtue and calmness, fluctuating from the center of the formation to all directions.
Within the large array, several people felt suppressed by a huge force, and their whole bodies were unable to move at all, as if even their hearts had stopped beating at this moment, and the whole world was still.
I don't know how long it took, the light on the altar gradually dissipated, and it seemed that the energy in the infinite years had been greatly released at this moment, and the entire large array returned to calm.
