Chapter Seventy-Two: The Houtu Sorrow Wu Clan, Nuwa cherishes the living
Zhen Yuanzi said, "Could it be that the Styx Ancestor in the sea of blood?"
Niangniang said: "Exactly! After the death of the desolate creatures, their souls are helpless, and most of them are returned to the sea of blood, which is obtained by the ancestor of the Styx." As long as the desolation remains, the sea of blood will be there, and if the sea of blood does not dry up, the ancestor of the River Styx will not die. Previously, when he was trapped in Lingshan with the Blood Sea Great Array, he was taught a lesson by Daoyou once and was severely injured. If it were someone else, hundreds of thousands of years would never be restored. However, according to Candle Jiuyin, in just a short period of time, the Styx Ancestor has regained his strength with the help of the Blood Sea. Isn't it a headache for such a character?"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "The Styx Ancestor is strong, but under the Heavenly Dao, there is a great supernatural power to restrain him, so why worry about Niangniang?"
Niangniang smiled bitterly: "In the previous battle of the Sun Palace, the first few Daoists did not participate, so I guess I don't know. That Styx Ancestor, who has cultivated 480 million blood gods, if his true body is not solid, there is no supreme treasure to resist, and he is pounced on by it, his essence and soul will be sucked by it, and he will instantly become a shell. Not only that, but the power of his sea of blood and stained blood, Daoyou have also seen it, as long as a living soul is stained with a drop, the essence blood of the whole body will be returned to the sea of blood, and even the soul cannot escape. He cultivates this method, but he happens to be the great nemesis of my Wu clan, so we are really very jealous of him!"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "I think it is the reincarnation of the Wu clan, relying on the essence blood of Pangu, and reincarnating through the desolate land. If you are sucked by the blood soul, there is no possibility of reincarnation!"
Niangniang bowed her head and said, "Exactly." The number of my witch clan is limited. If you fight with him, you will never recover from how many you have been killed by him. Therefore, although my Wu clan suffered a great loss from the Styx Ancestor in the Sun Star, they did not dare to venture into the sea of blood, and this is the reason!"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Niangniang's worries, poor people know!"
Niangniang got out of her seat, gave a deep salute to Zhen Yuanzi, and said: "Daoyou has great powers, and he is an ancient Taoist. If the Wu clan is innocent on another day, please also ask Taoist friends to help us for the sake of our clan is a lineage of Pangu, and we will wait for the twelve ancestors and witches, even if they are crushed, they are also grateful!"
Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly stood up, and also returned the salute to the mother, and said: "This is a matter of duty, how dare you accept the gift of the mother?
After each sat down, Zhen Yuanzi asked again: "Dare to ask what is the ambition of Niangniang?"
Niangniang sighed and said, "The people of my Wu clan, the Yuan Shen is weak, and he is not worthy of cultivating the Great Dao. Although I was sincere and listened to the lectures in Zixiao Palace twice, I actually gained very little. Therefore, in this life, I do not hope to cultivate the Great Dao and attain mixed elements, but only hope to be able to manage the land of a continent, so that there will be no hunger and cold in the world, no hunger in the wilderness, and harmony among all ethnic groups, so that my wish will be fulfilled. If I can get rid of my Wu clan's worries again, even if I die, it will be enough!"
Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly stopped and said: "Niangniang is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you have such an unlucky remark! If the poor road has the opportunity, it will help Niangniang." ”
When the mother heard this, she thanked her!
The two talked about some trivial matters and realized the Tao. Zhen Yuanzi saw that it was getting late, and said goodbye and returned.
Later, Hou Tu Niangniang came to Wanshou Mountain several times to visit Zhen Yuanzi, so the Wanshou Mountain Immortals, from Zhen Yuanzi down, are slowly familiar with her.
Although Hou Tu Niangniang is an ancestral witch, she usually has a beautiful appearance, a noble temperament, and is approachable, and she is also polite to the disciples of Zhen Yuanzi, and never puts on the ancestral witch shelf. Therefore, up and down Wanshou Mountain, they have a very good impression of Hou Tu Niangniang.
But he said that on this day, Zhen Yuanzi was teaching the disciples, and suddenly felt something, explained a few words to them, and turned around and entered the back garden.
Walking to the gourd root, I suddenly saw a side bud that had grown out of the gourd root, which had already developed into a vine, and there was no flowering on it, and there was no melon fruit, which had just withered at this time and fell off from the main trunk on its own. Zhen Yuanzi took it in his hand and praised: "Sure enough, it is an innate spiritual root, and it knows the number of days." "But he took this vine and went out of the back garden.
Zhen Yuanzi said to the disciples: "Now there will be a big event in the flood famine. It is expected that it will take a long time for the division to go east. No matter what happens, no matter what scene you see, you must remember not to leave Wanshou Mountain! Xuansong, you must manage the mountain gate on behalf of the teacher!" Xuansong and all the disciples responded, Zhen Yuanzi came east because of leaving Wanshou Mountain.
Zhen Yuanzi drove the clouds all the way to the east, until he went out of the central and western continents managed by Hou Tu Niangniang, and came to the central and eastern continents of the luxurious corpse, so he no longer drove the clouds, walked and walked on the desolate land, and inspected the world by the way.
Extravagant than the corpse manages the tribe, but it is far less enlightened than Hou Tu Niang, but very narrow-minded. He respects the Wu clan and is obsessed with favoritism, whether it is reasonable or not, and when there is a dispute, he is towards the Wu clan. As for the other races, they are all regarded as ants, regardless of life or death. Therefore, within the territory, only the witches are praised. The other races all regard him as hatred, but their strength is not good, and they are helpless.
The people's hearts were unstable, and it was inevitable that rumors would spread that the corpse was a drought, and that wherever he went, he would bring drought and pestilence. It is also said that he is the corpse of a vicious beast, sucking flesh and blood, and is extremely evil. Among them, the latter statement is the most widely circulated and has the most listeners. Therefore, the name of the extravagant corpse passed down by this ancestor in later generations is probably not unrelated to this.
Zhen Yuanzi traveled all the way, and saw ten rooms and nine empties, and only the Wu clan stood out. The other ethnic groups either fled into the mountains to escape the world, or scattered and migrated to other tribes and continents, and the wider and more livable the place, the more wild and untraveled.
At that time, the desolation was so vast! Every continent was incomparably huge. Although the ordinary creatures of the Flood Wilderness are much stronger than the later generations, it is unimaginably difficult to migrate from one continent to another. Therefore, there are many people who are hungry and cold, and who die on the way. Zhen Yuanzi saw it along the way, and couldn't help but feel pity, and if he could help some, he helped some.
I don't know how long I walked, and before I knew it, I arrived at the field of Su Guang.
Although this place is also under the jurisdiction of the corpse, it is only the residence of Nuwa Niangniang. Although Nuwa Niangniang has the title of the lord of the demon clan, she has never been to the Sun Palace since Xihe bathing day. Therefore, although the witch has a gap, the corpse is not hostile to her. What's more, because Nuwa Niangniang is a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor and the junior sister of Sanqing, the affairs of Su Guang are mostly handled by Nuwa Niangniang, and the extravagant corpse rarely interferes.
Nuwa Niangniang is compassionate and has no prejudice against all ethnic groups. As a result, the land of Suguang became a place of refuge for other ethnic groups, which was completely different from the other places managed by the corpse of the Buddha, but it was very prosperous.
Zhen Yuanzi had not yet penetrated into Su Guang, and not long after entering the realm, he saw a fairy in the vast wilderness, who was staring into the distance. At that time, the wind blew the clothes, fluttering, and the demeanor was extraordinary, but the eyebrows were tightened, and the eyes seemed to be endlessly worried, a sullen expression, was it Nuwa Niangniang?
Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward and saluted: "Niangniang, don't come to be harmed?"
When Niangniang saw Zhen Yuanzi, she opened up a little and said, "It turned out to be Zhen Yuanzi's Taoist friend." I haven't seen you for a long time, but Daoyou has become more and more elegant and natural, and I haven't even noticed it when I come to the place around me. Presumably, it is the cultivation of the Dao Law, and it has gone to the next level. ”
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Niangniang praised it falsely! But it was Niangniang who was thoughtful, so she didn't know her old friend!"
Niangniang sighed and said: "Although Daoyou is in the wilderness, but his heart is in the Heavenly Dao, and Wanshou Mountain is a pure and blessed land, it is really a good life and enviable!"
Zhen Yuanzi replied: "Niangniang is in the flood wilderness, and her heart is also in the flood wilderness, and the poor road is admired. It's just that the mother said that I was not in the wilderness, which was unfair. In the previous Chiming Tribulation, what I did was not in the flood famine? Although there is no major event now, how can my mother know that my heart is not in the flood famine?"
When Niangniang heard this, she also knew that she had made a mistake in her words, so she hurriedly saluted: "But I lost my words." Forgiveness!
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "When I first met Niangniang before, Niangniang'e frowned and was sullen. Now I must be depressed in my heart, and I am worried about mundane things, so I lost my words. Poor Dao is naturally not to blame!"
When Niangniang heard this, she smiled and said, "Daoyou really knows me!"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Niangniang is worried about something, don't say it clearly, and the poor road can help Niangniang come up with ideas." ”
Niangniang sighed deeply and said: "Since the Chiming Tribulation, there have been many deaths and injuries in the wilderness, and in some places, there is not one in ten. This huge flood is becoming more and more desolate and lonely, and there are fewer and fewer living beings. ”
After a pause, he said: "After the calamity is calmed down, the demons and witches are divided, and the flood is calm and nothing serious. I thought that these infinite years would always make the living creatures recover. But it's a big mistake. ”
Because he pointed to the four wildernesses with his finger, he said: "Fellow Daoists, please see, these four wilderness lands are boundless and vast, but there are few living beings walking, and how desolate they are. The corpse is in charge of this large continent, and he is partial in everything, only caring for the people of his witch clan, and treating the creatures of other races as grass mustard. If this continues, I am afraid that after thousands of years, not only will the living beings not recover, but will become fewer and fewer. By then, all these beautiful mountains and rivers will become wasteland!"
Zhen Yuanzi took a deep look and said, "Niangniang is kind-hearted, which makes the poor Dao admire!"
Niangniang smiled bitterly and said, "If I have great magical powers and can solve this matter, it will not be too late for Taoist friends to come and admire again." It's a well-deserved one!"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "But it's not. It is necessary to know the principle of the avenue, it is difficult to know, and it is also difficult to act. If you don't have a prophet, you're probably doing something wrong. Niangniang can have this mind and thoughts, it is rare to be desolate, and she is admired by the poor, but it is not inappropriate!"
The mother smiled bitterly again, but there were no words.
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Niangniang has this heart, but do you still remember the words of the Dao Ancestor?"
Niangniang frowned and said: "The teacher has three thousand, and he has said a lot of words, I don't know what your friend is referring to, but which one is it?"
Zhen Yuanzi said: "It's not the mantra of the Great Dao, but when the Dao Ancestor accepted Niangniang as an apprentice, he once said a word, I don't know if Niangniang still remembers?"
Precisely:
First worry and two wishes for heaven to appear,
Compassion is created with one mind.
The epicenter wants the old cause and effect,
Chaos gourd vines are also needed.
