Chapter 321: Beyond the Sword and White Cloud (3)
Qu Wuyi was stunned when he saw Mo Zhongqing, and he was also quite surprised: "As Qi Yan's apprentice, you haven't heard him mention anything about Jianmu?"
"Could it be the immortal pine in front of me? The family teacher never told me about Jianmu in person, but it was mentioned in the "Jianxuanlu", I thought it was a myth at the time, so I didn't look at it carefully, but what does this have to do with the soul rejuvenation flower?"
Qu Wuyi glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "This immortal pine can be said to be a building wood or not, but if this immortal pine dies, then the building wood will not be far from death, and now that filthy evil qi has been infecting Jianmu, as long as Jianmu dies, the Three Realms will wither and collapse in an instant, and your friends and relatives will all be infected by the evil qi and become as crazy as those werewolves today." ”
"Huh?"
When Mo Zhongqing heard Qu Wuyi say this, a thrill suddenly felt in his heart, and Huo Ran turned around and said, "Really?"
Qu Wuyi said: "It's true......"
Saying that, Qu Wuyi told a secret story about this building wood.
It turns out that at the beginning of Hongmeng, there were no three realms and six realms in the world, and all living beings also coexisted in one place. At that time, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, the turbid ones fell, the clear ones rose, mortals, demon clans and even many tangible things became the weakest ones, and those gods who were bound by the invisible body often fought endlessly because of their abilities, stirring up the world upside down, and there was no peace, resulting in the destruction of living beings, countless deaths and injuries, and the first to bear the brunt were mortals, demons and other tangible bodies.
At that time, there was a god named Taihao who sympathized with the misery of all beings, and finally tried his best to erect a sacred tree between heaven and earth called Jianmu. The mortals and demons are included one by one, and the branches of the building wood are divided layer by layer, from top to bottom, one is the heavenly realm, one is the human realm, and the other is the earth realm, and it is divided into twenty-eight heavens, six days in the desire realm, eighteen days in the color realm, and four days in the colorless realm. So far, the beings of the Three Realms have each been in a corner of peace, each performing its own duties, and there have been few disputes between heaven and earth since then.
Taihao also saw that mortals and demons have a very short lifespan, and often scatter their souls towards the twilight of life, so that the mortals and demons can escape into the earth after the physical death of the soul can be reincarnated as a human being, and the secret method is passed down so that mortals and demons can finally get rid of the six reincarnations through cultivation to get a glimpse of the heavenly realm. So far, the Three Realms and Six Realms have been in order, and Jianmu has been able to stand in heaven and earth for thousands of years.
At that time, there were also fairies who did not obey the control, not only did not want to live in Jianmu, but also could not see Jianmu dominance, and united to attack Jianmu, stirring up the world and the restlessness, people and gods were angry, Taihao could not see these fairies continue to wantonly destroy, and finally started a war with the gods in a rage. However, there has never been a winner in the war, although Taihao united his gods to drive away the hostile forces, but the divine power of all parties has already affected Jianmu, causing Jianmu to break its branches and leaves, and it was once in withering, and the beings of the Three Realms were implicated, and countless people were killed and injured.
In the end, Taihao and his gods used the remaining divine power to repair the building wood, and used the power of the origin to rejuvenate the dead wood of the building tree, and then sealed it away, isolated from the world, and eliminated the invasion of the gods outside the wood. But who knew that what Taihao did was just to prevent trouble, but he was unprepared for the hidden dangers in Jianmu, and the gods outside the wood destroyed the heart of Jianmu and did not die, and he watched the changes inside Jianmu every day and waited for the opportunity, and after a thousand years, he still gave them a chance.
The dispute between the human race and the demon race is their opportunity, and the gods outside the wood found that the two clans shared the nature of aggressiveness, profit, and greed, and they realized that they only sought immediate advantages and disadvantages, and had no faith at all.
It was also found that as long as these building creatures were destroyed, the building trees would wither on their own, so destroying the creatures on the wood was equivalent to destroying everything. These discoveries made the gods of the wood outside ecstatic and ready to move. Although their "true bodies" are not allowed to enter Jianmu, they perceive the talented and intelligent people in the two clans through their divine thoughts, and make heavy promises to these "strong people" respectively, demagoguery, so that the disputes between the two clans in the human world will eventually become more and more fierce, and the war will be endless every year.
It wasn't until three hundred years ago that Qi Yanzhi sensed the vision through the turbidity on the building wood. Only then did he resolutely leave the land of Jianmu, and the world provoked a great war between people and demons, and after the war, the remnants of the demon clan had nowhere to go, and Qi Yanzhi finally couldn't bear to exterminate the clan and returned to Jianmu and Qu Wuyi and Xiao Mu teamed up to open the land of Jianmu to accept the demon clan to enter, and now the so-called demon world is the original land of Jianmu.
At that time, Qu Wuyi and Xiao Mu had strongly persuaded Qi Yanzhi to stay in the land of Jianmu and not set foot in the world again, but Qi Yanzhi did not listen to the persuasion for a woman, and even never came back since. And now that the turbidity on this immortal pine is born again, it can be seen that the gods outside the wood have not changed their dead nature and have made a comeback in the dark.
Qu Wuyi's words made it difficult for Mo Zhongqing to digest them all, and after thinking about it carefully, he finally replied cautiously: "What the fairy means is that this immortal pine is the epitome of the entire building wood, and the building wood we are in will be reflected in this immortal pine if there is the slightest change?"
Qu Wuyi said: "Not bad." ”
Mo Zhongqing said again: "So, Fairy Qu wants to inform the family master of this matter after obtaining the Soul Restoration Flower?"
"Exactly, that's why Xiao Mu and I brought you here when we heard that you were the man's apprentice. ”
Mo Zhongqing said with a straight face: "In this case, then dare to ask why the fairy can't leave Jianmu? Is it because of the Tiantiao? Why can the family teacher go against the Tiantiao, but the only two can't?"
Qu Wuyi didn't think Mo Zhongqing asked sharply and straightforwardly, paused, and explained one by one: "We are not from the Heavenly Realm, but born and raised in the land of Jianmu, so we are not subject to the rules of Heaven, and we are not immortals who have become immortals through cultivation like mortals, but our actions are confined to this immortal pine. In the past, we didn't want to interfere with the balance of the Three Realms if we didn't leave Jianmu, but through the matter of the Dragon Wolf Tribe, it is not difficult to see that the gods outside the wood have already infiltrated the soil of Jianmu, so for the safety of the immortal pine, the two of us can't leave. ”
Mo Zhongqing's face was stunned, he didn't expect Qu Wuyi to answer like this, isn't he a native of the Heavenly Realm? Jianmu was born and raised? Not a cultivator to become an immortal? Could it be that these three people were born like this?
These questions made Mo Zhongqing difficult to accept for a while, and he was already a little foggy and at a loss for words. After a while, I heard Zhengyi Zhenren laugh and said, "Fairy Qu said it well. However, the top priority now is to find the Soul Rejuvenation Flower, let's go, if the poor road remembers well, the boundary that connects here, there is a tributary of the Lechuan River, and there may still be a remnant on its bank. ”
Mo Zhongqing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Isn't there only one tributary of the Lechuan River? And isn't that realm the ghost realm called the ghost realm in the mortal world? Even if you go, it is the place where the soul returns after death, how can ordinary people get there?"
A real person on the side seemed to see through Mo Zhongqing's thoughts, and paced and said, "Little friend, I know that you have all kinds of questions in your heart, let's explain them on the road when we have time." ”
As he spoke, he took the broken branch broken off from the old pine and poked it in the air, and he didn't see how laborious he was, so lightly, the half-cut branch actually disappeared into the air with a "bang", as if poking into some unknown space, and the other half was holding it in Zhengyi's hand.
Mo Zhongqing couldn't be surprised, he saw that a little light gradually grew at the branch that had not entered the air, and in an instant, no light was released, and then the broken branch was drawn again, but the branch was gradually lengthened, and after a while, an arc-shaped light hole slowly appeared in front of the three of them.
Mo Zhongqing looked at the outline of the distant scene in the cave, and looked at the real scene here, the inside and outside of the cave were completely different, and they couldn't help but look at each other in a daze, and secretly wondered: "Is it really the ghost world there?"
was brushing the white beards one by one, retracting the branches and inserting them into his waist, and said to Mo Zhongqing, who was stunned: "Little friend, don't move yet?"
"Wait. Zhengyi Zhenren, are you sure you want to go?"
Qu Wuyi stopped Zhengyi Zhenren, his eyebrows were worried, his eyes flashed frequently, and he seemed to have something to say.
"Poor Dao has been helped by Qi Xian Chang in many ways, so this time I will accompany Xiaoyou on a journey, besides, Xiaoyou is still Brother Mo's apprentice, rest assured, the two of us will go back as soon as we go, it won't be delayed for long, and I hope that the fairy will guard the door." ”
After speaking, he bowed his head slightly, and resolutely stepped into the door hole first. Mo Zhongqing saw that the figure of Zhengyi gradually disappeared into the distant view of the cave, and after thinking about it again and again, he turned his heart sideways, bowed slightly to Qu Wuyi, and hurriedly chased after him. And what Qu Wuyi never expected was that the two of them had just walked on the front foot, and the woman in a white shirt on the back foot fell from the top of the huge immortal pine and said: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, Qu Fairy, do you say yes, hehe......"
This tone is tactful and peaceful, if it weren't for the coldness in the words, it would really be the same as the sister next door, Qu Wuyi naturally has no sisters, and if she has, she must not be the uninvited guest in front of her, so when she saw Chongyu, her heart was shocked, and she frowned, subconsciously turned to the side slightly, and drove to block the doorway from the side and said, "Chongyu, how did you get in." Xiao Mu, he didn't stop you?!"
It turned out that Xiao Mu had just left alone, but it was like this.
Chongyu did not answer immediately, but looked left and right, feeling very fresh, leisurely walking, and seemed to be leisurely. After a while, Fang Cai looked at the door hole behind Qu Wuyi and took a look, and said: "Zhengyi is a little old man who actually hid here to recuperate, he really knows how to choose a place, no wonder the palace can't find him in the entire Kunlun faction." ”
"Where's Xiao Mu!"
Qu Wuyi ignored Chongyu when she saw it, and she felt more and more bad in her heart, her voice couldn't stop being a little sharp and even trembling slightly, she didn't dare to look at anything other than staring at Chongyu in front of her, for fear that she would be able to see the bloody reality in a blink of an eye.
The heavy Yu's laughter became more and more charming, pretending not to know: "Xiao Mu? Which Xiao Mu? Ah, is it that stupid pig with no one in his eyes and a face of frozen meat? If this palace says that he sent him to see the king of Hades, I am afraid that you will immediately fight hard?"
"Nonsense!"
