Chapter 113: Fire Cloud Holy Emperor
Huoyun Cave is located in the Huoyun Valley three hundred miles east of Haodi City, it is rumored in the world that the seed of the holy fire stolen by the Suiren clan from the heavens in the past was robbed and killed by the gods on the way, and the seed of the holy fire fell in this valley and melted into a cave. And because the holy fire is bright, it shines on the clouds of the high sky day and night, so that the fire clouds do not disperse, so the place is called the fire cloud cave.
When Shi Nian came to this holy land of the human race, he couldn't help but sigh for the wonder. The radius of the Fire Cloud Valley is only ten miles, and every grass and tree is red and translucent, and there are soaring hot flames, which is very similar to the legendary Flame Mountain.
The entrance of the Huoyun Cave is not big, it is the size of the ordinary door, the strange stone of the cave is red and translucent, the left side is in the shape of a dragon, the right side is in the shape of a phoenix, it is born into the earth, and the dark dragon and phoenix are auspicious.
Not long after Shi Nian, Leper Dog, and Bei Shu arrived at the entrance of the cave, an old man in red came out of the inside, who was one of the ten elders of Huoyun Cave.
"I've seen the Elders. ”
The harvest bowed slightly, Shi Nian and the leper dog did the same, and also hugged his fists and bowed.
The red-clothed elder smiled slightly, turned sideways to look at Shi Nian and said, "Come in." ”
Shi Nian nodded when he heard this, and raised his feet to step forward into the cave. The leper dog also wanted to follow in, but before he could take a step, he was dragged back by the thief.
"Wangwang! If you don't let me in, I won't enter, just grab my tail and do something!" The leper dog who was being caught by the tail and carried it upside down was full of unhappiness, and shouted at Shi Nian, who had reached the entrance of the cave, "Say hello to the old man for me." ”
When he was in the Valley of the Winds, he not only received the help and teaching of the Wind Elder, but also received a drop of true dragon essence blood from the Wind Elder's mount Dragon Horse, which has been used endlessly to this day.
"You don't get into trouble outside. ”
Shi Nian left a word of advice and entered with the red-clothed elder.
As soon as you enter the cave, the scene in front of you changes greatly, the surrounding flames are raging, and the red magma is bubbling up. It stands to reason that being in such an environment must be unbearable, but the temperature here is slightly higher than outside, and it is not uncomfortable.
Shi Nian suspected that the flames and magma around him were illusory, and he couldn't help but crouch down and reach out to touch it. It's just that before he could stretch out, he was caught by the elder in red.
"This is lava and earth fire, one of the most domineering flames in heaven and earth, even if the artifact falls into it, it will turn into slag in a moment, let alone **mortal fetus. ”
Hearing the words of the red-clothed elder, Shi Nian suddenly retracted his hand, and stroked his chest with a frightened face.
Seeing him like this, the red-clothed elder smiled, raised his foot and stomped on the ground, and the surging sea of fire suddenly branched out into a road that was a foot wide, and he carried Shi Nian forward while saying, "In the past, the seed of the holy fire was left here, and at the same time as the Fire Cloud Cave was created, such a sea of lava land and fire was also derived. After the sea of fire, we are guarding the scripture room, and inside, is the Holy Emperor Pavilion, which enshrines the statues of the two emperors of heaven and earth. ”
"Only the Two Emperors of Heaven and Earth?" Shi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said curiously: "What about Emperor Sui, why isn't his statue placed in the Holy Emperor Pavilion?"
The red-clothed elder shook his head and sighed, "Although the Fire Cloud Cave was formed in accordance with the will of heaven, and the Sui Emperor is also the trigger of heaven's will, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth for him to steal the seed of the holy fire, so even if he has great merits in the human race, heaven and earth cannot recognize his status in the human race. If the human race forcibly sets up a statue of the Suihuang God in the Huoyun Cave, it may be unlucky. ”
Shi Nian understood that for heaven and earth, the Suiren clan was like Zhu Rong and Gonggong, who launched the war more than a thousand years ago, and they were all poor pawns and victims. The difference is that Zhu Rong and Gonggong were artificially calculated, while the Suiren clan was calculated by the Heavenly Dao and destined to be the cornerstone of the rise of the human race.
If it weren't for that, with the Suiren clan leading the human race out of the primitive life of Ru Mao drinking blood, and the edification feats of controlling the flames, how could he end up with no corpse, not to mention that there was not even a statue of a god for future generations to admire after death?
The merits of Emperor Suihuang were not recognized by heaven and earth, but the human race was remembered and never forgotten. Although there is no statue of him in the Huoyun Cave, there is a corner in the hearts of the children of each clan to worship him, posthumously conferring the title of "Holy Emperor".
Shi Nian was silent, but his heart was full of doubts. When he first crossed to this ancient land, he thought that this was the period of the Three Emperors in ancient times, because there were also Suiren clans, Fuxi and Nuwa here.
But the longer he lived in this era, and the more he learned, the more he felt that he might have thought too much, and this place was not the ancient years of the earth, but another parallel time and space. Not to mention anything else, take the Suiren clan as an example, tens of thousands of years ago on the earth belonged to the Paleolithic Age, and the Suiren clan was the ancestor of the Paleolithic Age.
Archaeological findings show that the Paleolithic human beings were still in the primitive society of drinking blood, and it was at this time that the Suiren clan taught people to drill wood for fire and flint to make fire to initially master the use of flames, and since then from raw food to mature food.
In this world, the Suiren clan does exist, and its status among the human race is extremely high, and it is also the embodiment of fire. However, there is one thing, the fire of this world is not drilled out of wood by the Suiren clan, but stolen from the heavenly realm. The moment the seed of the sacred flame is left in the world, the world can hold the flame.
There are gods, immortals and demons here, and those who have attained the Tao can easily live for thousands of years, and they can also realize magical powers such as holding mountains and seas, catching stars and taking the moon.
There are so many parallels to the history of Earth that it's impossible to connect the two. Is it because some of the ancient books on the earth are incorrect, or are the two inherently different?
"What do I think of this?"
Shi Nian shook his head and smiled, secretly saying that he was really bored, even if he figured out that this era was the past of the earth, what could he do? There are no other relatives on the earth except for the eldest brother Shi Xingtian, it doesn't matter which time and space he is in, as long as there is a big brother, it is home.
At this time, the red-clothed elder had already led him through the sea of magma and fire, and a fork in the road appeared in front of him, and more than ten zhang to the right was the entrance to the stone room, which was thought to be the scripture room in the elder's mouth.
The road to the left is winding and long, and there is no end in sight, and it should undoubtedly lead to the Holy Emperor Pavilion.
Sure enough, the red-clothed elder took Shi Nian straight to the road on the left, turned left and turned right and walked for several miles, and a quaint pavilion built by the mountain appeared in front of him, and the three words "Holy Emperor Pavilion" were written on the plaque.
Before the two approached, the Holy Emperor Pavilion opened the door, and at the same time, a long-lost voice came from inside: "Child, you are here." ”
This voice was undoubtedly Feng Lao, Shi Nian was inexplicably excited, and left the elder first. After the entrance is a hall, which is only more than ten zhang in radius, there are five old men in red sitting on the left, four old men in red sitting on the right, plus one person outside, it is the ten elders of Huoyun Cave.
There are three stone seats standing in front of it, arranged in the position of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, among them, there are stone statues of zhang high standing on the left side, only the stone seat on the right side is empty. The stone statue on the left has a human head and a snake body, with a beautiful and sacred face, and it must be the emperor of the earth, Nuwa.
The central statue is also a human head and a snake body, and the facial features are the same as those of Feng Lao, although the whole body is made of stubborn stone, but in addition to being less angry, it is lifelike like a real person.
As soon as Shi Nian entered the cabinet, the central statue seemed to be resurrected, and he actually laughed. Shi Nian didn't care about him, knelt in front of the statue with a bang, knocked his head three times, and then looked up at the smiling statue and said: "Shi Nian has the expectation of a negative wind, causing trouble so that the predecessor of Thor died first, and then brought trouble to the human race, causing him to kill the eldest brother and lose his life, and it is really impossible to redeem a hundred deaths!"
Feng Lao has always cultivated him as an heir, not to mention teaching gossip magic, but also carving Hetu Bao to him for observation. He failed to give back to the Terrans as Elder Feng expected, but instead brought great danger to the Terrans, which made him feel guilty.
"I know all about you. The smile on Feng Lao's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Everything is the cause and effect of the predecessors, just like the predecessors of the Suihuang Emperor, you are just a fuse, no wonder you." ”
"But ......"
"This is the time that has passed, so don't mention it. Elder Feng stopped Shi Nian from continuing, his eyes swept over the ten elders seated below, and said, "I have invited you here this time to discuss with you. ”
At this time, the old man on the left nodded slightly at the statue of the old god Feng, and then said to Shi Nian: "Xiaoyou is extremely talented, has great potential, plus you have been bequeathed by the emperor, and the future is bright, the human race wants to send you to the Holy Fire Realm to practice, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants?"
"Holy Fire Realm?" Shi Nian raised his eyebrows.
"The Holy Fire Realm is a small thousand world of the Sacred Flame Seed, in which the spiritual energy is rich, the Dao marks are shallow, and there are many ancient relics, one year of cultivation is worth ten years of cultivation outside. ”
The Great Elder explained, "I hope you can enter it and practice for decades, and when you come out, you will serve the human race. ”
Before obtaining the seed of the sacred fire, the human race was weak, and there was no possibility of competing with the ancient race. But since obtaining the Sacred Flame Seed, the strength of the human race has increased by leaps and bounds, and it has successively cultivated talents such as the Two Emperors of Heaven and Earth, the Seven Sword Immortals, and the Harvest, relying on the Holy Fire Realm.
As long as the seed of the sacred flame is still in the hands of the human race, the foundation of the human race will not fall, and the bloodline will not be severed. Therefore, the seed of the holy flame is placed in the Huoyun Cave, suppressed by the two emperors of heaven and earth, and guarded by the ten elders day and night.
"Can you slow down the matter of entering the Holy Fire Realm?" Shi Nian asked.
The Great Elder shook his head: "The Holy Flame Realm is open once in a hundred years, and there are three more days to open it, and if you miss it, you can only wait for another hundred years." ”
"Can you come out at any time?" he asked again.
The Great Elder still shook his head: "Once in a hundred years, once out in ten years." Once you enter the Flame Realm, you will have to wait ten years at the earliest. ”
"This ......" Shi Nian hesitated.
Seeing Shi Nian's hesitant appearance, an elder hurriedly said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you will have to wait for another hundred years." A hundred years is not long or short, but who can say clearly about the vicissitudes of life? Don't miss this opportunity!"
He still hasn't said the second half of the sentence, and now there are too many enemies in the stone year, and it is extremely difficult to spend a hundred years in the world peacefully, and entering the Holy Fire Realm is undoubtedly the best choice, not only to avoid disasters, but also to cultivate.
Shi Nian's face was embarrassed, and he bowed to the ten elders and clenched his fists, and said, "It's not that the kid is unwilling to enter the Holy Fire Realm, and it's not that he is unwilling to serve the human race, but there is really an extremely important matter waiting for me to do at the moment." ”
A hundred years of vicissitudes, ten years have passed, and now it is determined that the eldest brother Shi Xingtian is in the East China Sea, but what about ten years later?
