Chapter 4: The Beginning of a Legend (I)
The vast land of China is vast, boundless, and its end is unknowable.
However, thousands of miles of territory, the landform is complex, there is a blue sky and a white sun, a long sky, and three stars are the same as the light. There are many green peaks below, rolling and towering. On the rolling land, there are waterfalls and streams, and there are big rivers. There are also forest valleys and extremely cold glaciers. Of course, there is no shortage of wild places such as yellow sand and strange rocks, wasteland swamps, etc.
A bird's-eye view of this fertile land, abundant water and grass, abundant materials, countless rare and exotic beasts, and excellent treasures of feng shui abound. Human beings have multiplied for generations in a pleasant land with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it cannot be said that it is a paradise on earth.
On the land of China, the most prosperous is this Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the sea is famous for the market.
The sea of ruins is boundless, and it is a natural barrier, separating Zhongzhou from the four poles of the east and west, north and south.
The four poles have their own characteristics, the North Pole is a place of extreme cold, and the South Pole is a land of burning fire. The east pole is the land of the winds howling, and the west pole is the land of poisonous miasma and evil grass.
The Four Extremes Wilderness is very dangerous since ancient times, although it is said that there is a flood temple, ancient ruins, but it is also rampant, strange beasts go sideways. Even the humans who live there are a strange race that is different from ordinary people. All in all, in this magical continent, rare things can't be said for three days and three nights.
If you want to ask about the most widely circulated stories on this continent, you have to count the legends about the "great contemporaneity" of humans, immortals, and demons.
Legend has it that at the beginning of ancient times, the universe was scorching and self-contained, and everything in heaven and earth was in chaos.
The darkness is dark, and Feng Ji is only like an image. Light and dark, who is the first?
After tens of thousands of years of gestation, a god was born in the universe - the primordial spirit of the founding.
The founding Yuan Ling absorbed the Hongmeng aura of the universe and created the four magic formulas of "Purity, Spirit, Emptiness and Brightness". He also conceived four lives with his natal artifact, the Creation Artifact, and accepted him as a disciple. They are named Hongjun, Mingkun, Nuwa, and Lu Press.
The four disciples are known as the "Ancestors of Heaven and Earth" and the "Four Apostles of Chaos".
The first apostle, Hongjun, followed the founding spirit to practice the magic of clear characters.
Hongjun is the most diligent one of the four apostles of the founding Yuanling, he has extended the Qingzi magic trick to the extreme, so as to create his own "Taishang Sanqing" magic trick, after three thousand years of retreat on the Kunlun Mountain in the west, he broke through the barrier, and a peerless cultivation is invincible.
He led his disciples to create a realm of their own, named the Immortal Realm, and his disciples later founded the first sect of immortal cultivation in history, the Kunlun School.
The Kunlun faction specializes in recruiting extremely talented mortals in the world to open up the road to immortal ascension for mortals.
The second apostle, Mingkun, followed the founding Yuan spiritual practice to learn the spiritual word magic formula.
Mingkun is studious by nature and thirsty for talent, but anyone who has a heart to seek the Tao is his disciple.
He embraces all living beings in the world, and does not refuse those who come. For thousands of years, the number of disciples is the largest, and the total number of Lin Lin in the heavens and on the ground is tens of thousands. Among them, mountain spirits and wild monsters, ghosts, goblins and ghosts, anyone and everything, the cultivation exercises are even more strange, and there are many guys who go crazy and have strange purposes.
In order to prevent these apprentices from disturbing the order of heaven and earth, and in order to have a unified name, he imitated Hongjun to create his own realm and named tens of thousands of disciples "Demon".
Demons, Guang, Lin, and ghosts.
It means that there are many, miscellaneous and chaotic.
Mingkun took the name of "demon" to warn his disciples: although they come from different corners of this vast land of China, whether it is a mountain demon or an evil ghost, there is no difference between those who have been transformed, those who have not yet been transformed, and those who have half of their transformation and still have an animal head left.
Once you worship under the Mixed Kun Gate, you are a "demon", and from then on there is no difference in identity and grade.
As for the third apostle, the only female disciple of the founding Yuanling, Nuwa, has been sentimental since she was a child, and her temperament is very kind.
Nuwa followed the Founding Yuan Spiritual Cultivation with the Empty Word Divine Formula.
I never thought that the daughter's family always had to focus more on the affairs of the children's affection, and the gods were no exception.
Nuwa was concerned about the Fourth Apostle Lu Quan, and secretly fabricated two spirit sculptures according to his and her own appearance to express her lovesickness.
This spiritual sculpture is the ancestor of the later "man".
Human beings are shaped by the spiritual soil of heaven and earth, and burned to form with karmic fire. Nuwa used the qi of the 10,000-year-old green wood to warm the two spirit sculptures and feed them with pure brew in the fairy world, which is to have the spiritual root of the five elements in the human body, and the shape of a god, and her cultivation talent is unparalleled among ten thousand creatures. If you practice diligently, your chances of becoming an immortal are far greater than those of other living beings.
However, things in the world are very strange, and most of the great mistakes are caused by some inconspicuous negligence.
When Nuwa used karmic fire to shape people's physical bodies, she never thought that the power of this karmic fire left a small seed of karmic fire in the human soul.
This karmic fire also has a long history, and the karmic fire was created by the most prestigious disciple under the second apostle Mingkun Throne - the Daoist Leader.
In order to explore the ultimate truth of the universe, he broke away from the demon gate, formed his own faction, and embarked on a solitary path of asceticism.
Thousands of years later, he finally found the avenue, founded Buddhism, and became the originator of the Western Buddhist world.
Talk back about this karmic fire. The real name of karmic fire is Naraka, which is the fire of the red lotus. When Nuwa burned the human form, she found that the spiritual soil of the fairy world had to be burned by the most domineering red lotus karmic fire in the world, so she used Aoki to steal the red lotus fire and shape the human form. From this, it is a pity that the subtlety of the way of heaven is destined to be the creature closest to God and born with the sinful karma of God!
But she didn't expect that the karmic fire was a symbol of karma, and all the sins in the world would become the red lotus karmic fire.
Therefore, at the beginning of the birth of human beings, the seeds of seven emotions and six desires, greed, hatred and obsession were planted. Thankfully, man also possesses one-ten-thousandth of the divinity of the gods.
Divinity and sinful karma are intertwined in the human soul, complementing each other, and discarding each other, and the so-called complexity of human nature is probably like this!
Hundreds of years after Nuwa created humans, human beings, who claimed to be "descendants of the gods", demanded to create a realm of their own and named it the human realm. Although people have excellent talents, those who have not cultivated still cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
Fragile human beings have lost the protection of Nuwa in their own world, and were once slaughtered by the powerful forces between heaven and earth. However, the greed of human nature urges them not to be willing to be small and weak, and human beings try to be equal to immortals and demons.
It is because all along, human beings have respected the fairy world, and the wind of cultivation has never declined.
The two worlds of immortals and demons believe that human beings have such a desire to seek the Tao, and in line with the concept that all things in the world are the sons of the founding gods, they have also set up a sect of cultivation to pass down the method of cultivation for human beings to change their own destiny.
After tens of millions of years, under the original motivation of pursuing the same life as heaven and earth, coupled with the painstaking study of several generations, there are many capable people in the human world who can break the barriers of the Three Realms with their own cultivation and various magic weapons, step into the ranks of immortals and demons, and explore the Three Thousand Avenues together.
However, this path of cultivating immortals, although it may not be able to achieve great success, cross the barriers of the Three Realms, and transcend and ascend. However, it is enough to prolong one's own life, master the power of tyranny, and look at all things, so as to obtain a certain amount of fame, fortune and status.
These small successes, or the great power of soaring, are often unruly, and they feel that they are chosen by destiny and are destined to make a career.
Then it was to carry two or three disciples to choose a blessed land in the fairy town to open a mountain and establish a faction, recruit a wide range of virtuous people, for a time, attract many people to follow the example of a carp crossing the river, in just a few years, the whole world under the immortal sect sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Among them, there are also some bizarre sect organizations, or wanderers, who disdain to follow the crowd, and hide the essence and magic treasures of their lives in the treasure land of feng shui, waiting for those who are destined to discover and achieve a strange story.
So far, the thousands of years of time is a prosperous era of harmonious coexistence of people, immortals, and demons.
However, everything in the world has a reason for the rise and fall of prosperity.
Beneath the surface of peace, there is a turbulent undercurrent.
The cycle of cause and effect will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. Five thousand years later, that era of prosperity also declined because of an earth-shattering war.
During the war, the land of Shenzhou was full of blood, and the Three Realms were full of mourning. The immortals and demons were both defeated, the founding god should be robbed and ascended, the creation artifact was shattered into several pieces, Nuwa and Lu Pressure returned to hiding, and Hongjun and Chaokun were tragically sealed........
The Four Apostles of Chaos have since disappeared, and the Three Realms Passage has been sealed since then!
