Chapter 269: The Seven Peaks of Yingzhou The Origin of Luo Han Guo
According to Jiang Lao himself, even he didn't know how many years he had been in Yingzhou, at that time, even Liu Bolun hadn't come, and he barely knew that his surname was Jiang, as for the name, it didn't matter what it was called, let's call himself Jiang Lao.
When we asked him why he was ferrying on this weak water, he just shook his head, and maybe he didn't know why. He only remembered changing a mountain every day, a reincarnation every seven days, and each ferryman had to receive a treasure as a reward, and he didn't know anything about the rest.
In addition, we also know an incredible thing, Yingzhou mainly has seven peaks, namely Chizhou Peak, Orange Island Peak, Huangzhou Peak, Oasis Peak, Blue Island Peak, Indizhou Peak, Zizhou Peak, each mountain peak presents a different color, is the hub of the human world to the heavenly realm, is the seven kinds of sunlight primary colors, and the place where we are happens to be Zizhou Peak, so the place where we can see is purple.
I was stunned by this information, no wonder Zizhou Peak is not purple except for a few of us living people, even the birds are purple, and I hurriedly asked Jiang Lao: "Why are there only seven colors here?"
Jiang Lao took another sip of wine, and then said leisurely: "Yingzhou is originally a space, a space created by the ancient powers of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, the intersection of the three worlds, the essence of the three worlds, the seven peaks represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the seven colors represent the light essence, all the mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning in Yingzhou are the epitome of the universe avenue, and it is the place where the heaven and earth vitality of righteousness, goodness and righteousness are located. ”
It's no wonder that since I came to Yingzhou, Lao Yu and I can feel the immensity of the aura, and in just over a month, my cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, I have only opened the meridians in my body at the beginning, and stepped into the primary stage of refining qi and transforming the element, and cultivated to the realm of the real human spirit, with several times the speed and physical strength of the original.
The meridians in the old lady's body also showed signs of loosening, and sometimes he couldn't control his strength at all, and he would receive the backlash of yin and yang, but with the old lady's medicine garden, even if he was injured, as long as he meditated, he could heal himself in less than an hour, and the purity of his vitality was by no means comparable to the world.
I believe that in less than a month, the meridians of Lao Zhi can also be broken through by the Yuan Qi and enter the human spirit stage of refining the Qi and transforming the Yuan, and at that time, there is no need to fly with the help of the Fu Mo Suo, and can directly use the Yuan Qi in the body to control the aura around the body, and in the real sense, I can fly as I want without borrowing any external power, and I am only one step away from this step.
Since there are still six peaks in Yingzhou, you must go to see it when you have time. As soon as Jiang Lao heard me and Lao Yu say that they were going to go to the rest of the six peaks to have a look, he smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you think the rest of the six peaks are so easy to go?"
"What's the matter, do you still charge tickets?" asked Jiang Lao with a small glare.
Jiang Lao obviously didn't understand what the ticket was, so I hurriedly explained, "Jiang Lao, why can't the rest of the six peaks go?"
"There is a mountain god on the seven peaks of Yingzhou, each guarding a treasure. ”
After hearing this, I was puzzled, and asked, "Elder Jiang, didn't you say that Yingzhou counted the two of us as only six people, how come there are still six mountain guards?"
Lao Zhi was also puzzled, and at this time he waited for Jiang Lao's reply with a pair of small eyes.
Jiang Lao may have been addicted to drinking, so he took another sip and said, "That's right, before you didn't come, there were only four people in Yingzhou, and now there are only six of you." And those six mountain guardian gods are not human beings, but divine beasts, how can they be counted as human beings?"
Lao Yu and I suddenly realized that each divine beast guards a mountain peak, and it happens that the old lady is in Zizhou Peak, so isn't she too... Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Jiang Lao: "Then the old lady of Zizhou is the mountain guardian god of Zizhou Peak?"
Jiang Lao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, the old mother of Zizhou is the great god of guarding the mountain on Zizhou Peak!"
"Then what kind of treasure is she guarding?" Lao Qi was not interested in what the mountain god, but he was very energetic about the baby, and hurriedly asked Jiang Lao what she was guarding.
Jiang Lao looked at Lao Yu and said, "It's exactly what that drunkard Liu owes me, Luo Han Guo!"
"What? Luo Han Guo can still be a baby? You didn't play with me, we have everything in the world, ten yuan a catty. ”
Lao Qi couldn't understand why Luo Han Guo became a treasure, but I did think differently from Lao Qi, the Luo Han Guo in Jiang Lao's mouth should not be the nuts we often eat, it should belong to fairy grass and something like that.
Sure enough, Jiang Lao then explained: "Although I don't know what the Luo Han Guo in your world is, the Luo Han Guo on Zizhou Peak is the essence of the essence of the Yuan Ling, and it is incarnated as the image of the Luo Han sitting on the lotus, so it is the Luo Han Guo." ”
Lao Yu grew his mouth in surprise: "Lie down! Isn't that an Arhat statue, what good will it do if you eat one?"
I hurriedly touched the old man and signaled him not to talk nonsense, how can we be rude with the gods, we are highly educated people.
Jiang Lao straightened his face, stared at me and Lao Yu with blazing eyes, and said: "This Luo Han Guo was originally transformed by the Yuan Spirit of Heaven and Earth, and the cultivation of those who have opened the meridians has advanced by leaps and bounds, but those who have not refined the Qi Yuan and mortals must not smell it, the Yuan Qi is too pure, and the body cannot store and refine it, and it will be exploded by the Yuan Qi in an instant, and the soul will be scattered." ”
"It's... How can this monk fruit have such an effect?"
Lao Yu and I are looking at each other, I didn't expect that the Luo Han Guo guarded by the old lady turned out to be the essence of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Spirit, the heavenly treasure of the cultivator, no wonder even a half-human and half-immortal like Liu Bolun coveted it, and shamelessly went to steal it again and again.
Suddenly I remembered the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West, could it be that the description of Journey to the West is wrong, and it is Luo Han Guo instead of ginseng fruit?
"Elder Jiang, I don't know if you've ever heard of ginseng fruit?"
"I understand what you mean, Luo Han Guo is not a ginseng fruit, the ginseng fruit's real name is Cao Huandan, it is a spiritual root in the world, and this Luo Han Guo is a spiritual root in Yingzhou, and this Luo Han Guo is born by absorbing the aura of the Three Realms, the difference does not need me to say directly, whether it is ginseng fruit or Luo Han Guo are different roots and veins in different spaces. However, there is a fundamental difference between the two, it takes tens of thousands of years for ginseng fruit to ripen once, while monk fruit may ripen for thousands of years or decades. ”
Jiang Lao's words made me even more puzzled, and then asked: "Why? melons, fruits and vegetables all have a growth cycle, why is it only Luo Han Guo?"
Lao Yu also asked Jiang Lao while holding his nose: "Yes, why does it have such a personality? How many years does it bloom and how many years does it bear fruit?"
Lao gave me the same question, Jiang Lao took another sip of the wine in the gourd, and then said: "In ancient times, an Arhat who achieved the Buddha Fruit, when he passed through Yingzhou, he had compassion in his heart, and he couldn't bear to leave the Three Realms, so he turned his golden body into an ancient tree, which would blossom and bear fruit whenever the Three Realms were in turmoil, signaling to people, ghosts and gods to resolve it quickly, and the fruit on the tree became the image of the Dharma body of the Arhat at the beginning. The last time the Arhat tree blossomed and bore fruit was 3,000 years ago. ”
It turns out that this is the origin of the Arhat Fruit, it turns out that the Arhat Tree is an Arhat Golden Body has changed, then he is compassionate enough, how can he be promoted to the Bodhisattva and Buddha position without the Golden Body? If it were me, I would not give up the Golden Body, the Three Realms are chaotic or not, it is all the variables of heaven and earth, what fundamental problem can he solve by turning into such an Arhat Tree?
But this fearless spirit is something I admire, but admiration is admiration, anyway, I won't learn from him, it's too stupid!
Suddenly, I thought of something again, just now Jiang Lao said that there will be a big chaos in the Three Realms when the Arhat Tree blooms, so isn't there a big chaos this time After saying the question in his heart, Jiang Lao looked at the weak water river and thought for a while and said: "There will be a big event in the Three Realms where the Arhat Tree is enlisted, but the reality of the chaos in the Three Realms will definitely appear on the weak water river, because the weak water river is the intersection of the three worlds, but the Luohan tree has been fifty years old, and the weak water river has been empty and unchanging, which really puzzles me." ”
After hearing this, Lao Yu pouted and said: "What's so strange about this, legends can only be regarded as legends, have you seen with your own eyes that the Arhat tree was changed by Arhats?"
When Jiang Lao heard this, he just shook his head and didn't give a direct explanation, but I guess Jiang Lao probably heard it from somewhere else.
Lao Yu pouted his mouth and said: "Isn't this enough, the legend can't be fully believed, what can be seen and touched is reliable, isn't it Nangong!"
Think about it, too, legends can only be jokes before and after tea, and if the legends can be taken seriously, then the world will be in chaos! But today's amount of knowledge is really not small, enough for me and the old man to digest for a while.
But what does it mean to give that extremely treacherous smile just now?
