Chapter 2 [Ancient Divine Continent]
Subconsciously, he vaguely heard someone talking, although it was extremely difficult for Li Chuxun to wake up from his stiff body.
"The host... Master, did you hear me?"
When Li Chuxun slowly opened his eyes, he was greeted by a vague shadow. It's not so much a blur, it's better to say that the person who is talking to you is actually your own shadow. Li Chuxun couldn't believe that he was still alive after being attacked by a meteorite and lightning, and he couldn't believe that his shadow was actually talking to him, although there was only an outline, he was sure that it was his shadow, but this shadow was like him when he was young, and the shadow was faintly reflected in a fifteen-year-old boy.
"I'm still alive?... Or have I already reached heaven?... No, maybe it's hell..."Li Chuxun didn't know whether he was talking to himself or talking to the shadow, in short, he wanted to know too much about where he was now, or if he was in a dream or a hallucination......
"Master, you are alive! Because you gave me life, you must live!" the shadow affirmed him.
Hearing the affirmation of the shadow, Li Chuxun felt as if he had been reborn, and he actually showed a little joy. Obviously, I felt the sharp pain of being scorched by the flames and lightning, and I knew that my cheeks and eyes were red with my own blood, and I couldn't live anymore...... Whether it is time travel or rebirth, at least I am still Li Chuxun, I still have the memory of my life! As long as I live, then I must live well!
"Are you my shadow?...? You..."After coming back to his senses, Li Chuxun looked very stunned, he had never seen a lively and talking shadow in his life.
"I'm sorry about it... I am the meteorite that almost destroyed your body!" Shadow fell silent...
"Am I really alive? So what is this place?" Although Li Chuxun tried his best to believe that he was still alive, everything around him was like a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist, and he began to doubt again.
"Master, you're still alive... It's just that by coincidence, in that flash of lightning, you've turned the tide to another unknown place! The shadow looked around, and only after making no new discoveries did he continue to face Li Chuxun.
"Originally, we were the alien beast Yuan Shen who existed in the sealing stone, just like a soul that had lost all cultivation, when our true body was destroyed, the sealing stone that sealed my Yuan Spirit fell into a time and space unknown to me in a disaster, and by coincidence I actually hit the master's body, but then I don't know why a lightning bolt also happened to hit the master and another suicide woman, and I inadvertently merged with the master's Yuan Shen...... After the reversal, I somehow came here. ”
"You?" Li Chuxun was very puzzled, it was obviously just a shadow, but it was talking about us. Is there another Genshin?
In order to get the ranking of the Divine Beasts, I fought to the death with the Chongming Bird, and finally inadvertently activated the seal of a flying multicolored stone, and then we were sealed in the multicolored stone. When I hit my master, my spirit was released and fused into my master's body... Actually, none of this matters, because from now on my primordial spirit will be the soul of the master just like the soul of the master!
"So, can you do anything for me?" Li Chuxun's eyes were filled with excitement, as if he had picked up an Aladdin magic lamp in the vast desert.
"Although my primordial spirit is still here, it has been sealed for too long..."The shadow spoke vaguely, but Li Chuxun already understood that the current shadow might not be able to help him much at all except for being able to talk to himself.
"But the master can rest assured!I have already broken out of the multicolored stone seal, and the power of the primordial god is no longer restrained!" The shadow brought some hope to Li Chuxun's lost heart.
"What about my friend?" Li Chuxun asked suddenly.
"You're saying the woman is your friend?" asked Shadow.
"Yes, did you see her?" Li Chuxun's tone suddenly became impatient.
The shadow thought for a moment, and then said, "When she fell from the clouds, a guy who looked like a heavy bird grabbed her and flew her down the mountain! Then, after my primordial spirit melted into the soul of my master and repaired my master's body... I was crushed by my master!"
Li Chuxun thought to himself what this Chongming Bird looked like, and he hadn't seen it before, and the shadow actually told him that he looked like a Chongming Bird, didn't he know anything about it.
"Hehe! Thank you! My name is Li Chuxun, what about you?" Li Chuxun said, touching the back of his head.
"You'll know later!" said the shadow, looking around, as if recognizing the world.
Li Chuxun also stood up from the fog and carefully observed the surroundings, the sky and the earth were all surrounded by clouds and mist, which was like a fairyland, and like being in the clouds. And in this peculiar cloud and mist stands a stone stele, on which is written "Entering the Dao Peak". There was a thin layer of snow and ice on the ground, as if it had just fallen, and every step fell into a footprint.
Until the end of the place looming in the chaos of stones stands a high platform, on the steps stand eight stone pillars, three iron chains run through it to surround the whole stone platform, in the middle of the high platform a pair of Taiji Bagua diagram like carving, the level is distinct.
"This picture is called Hetu, also known as gossip! It was made by the human emperor Fuxi. After saying that, the shadow actually broke away from Li Chuxun's body and walked towards the gossip map, and then squatted aside and thought deeply.
"Human Emperor Fuxi?" Li Chuxun was a little puzzled, he had the impression that the era of Fuxi should be traced back to the ancient period, could it be that he had traveled back to the ancient period?
"Sure enough, it's the Shenzhou Continent!" the shadow suddenly became excited, and the words were as if they were talking to themselves.
"Ah, what?" Li Chuxun couldn't understand why the shadow suddenly became so excited.
"We're back in the Shenzhou Continent!" The shadow was a little impatient, and wanted to reach out to hold Li Chuxun's hands, but it pierced through his arms, and only then did he realize that he was just a shadow at the moment.
"On the Shenzhou continent, the sky and the earth are not far away, the human race and the beasts live on the land near the water source, the alien beasts live in the dense forests of the hills, and the gods live on the islands with the immortal mountains! Because the gods have a strong power that can destroy all things in heaven and earth in an instant with their own strength, once the gods occupy a mountain, the human race and the demon race can only be afraid and dare not compete with the gods. Later, the human emperor Fuxi, who ruled the human race, and the demon emperor Nuwa, who ruled the alien beasts and animals, created the Shenzhou Immortal Clan. Since then, the immortal clans that have been cultivated, cultivated, and cultivated by the human race, animal race, and demon race have stood in heaven and earth, and the god race no longer dares to easily invade the territory of the Divine Continent. The shadow told the origin of the entire Shenzhou Continent in one breath, making Li Chuxun stunned on the spot.
"Don't be so surprised, maybe this isn't my era anymore. The shadow looked at Li Chuxun's eyes, and suddenly became a little eclipsed.
"Actually... Actually, I'm not surprised by this, but I want to know the immortal mountain on this map!" Li Chuxun said very curiously, because he had already discovered that there was a mountain that seemed to be standing upside down and extending to the depths of the clouds just above this so-called river map...
After a long time, seeing that the shadow did not speak, Li Chuxun finally shifted his gaze to the shadow, only then did he find that the shadow was not black, but faintly transparent in the crimson, and there was no such deep outline, just like the shadow reflected in the water, the outlines on the body rose and fell, and some of them looked like they were to be faded.
"Master, my primordial spirit is weak now, and I can't stay too long, and the cold aura will gradually weaken my primordial spirit. "The shadows faded a little, and they appeared and disappeared, as if they would disappear at any moment.
"What should I do then?" Li Chuxun said in a hurry.
"The master doesn't have to do anything for me, I only need to cultivate for two years to recover to the past, and then I can help the master consolidate a deeper cultivation! This place is really a bit like the world I used to be..."After the shadow finished speaking in a bleak tone, it gradually disappeared into the clouds, leaving only one sentence floating in Li Chuxun's mind: "Master, respect the Tao and virtue, the unity of heaven and man!"
"Respect the Tao and honor, the unity of heaven and man?" Li Chuxun muttered to himself, never understanding in his heart what the shadow meant by the last words he told him, or was he pointing him to some goal.
---Shi---
In the stone village under the clouds, suddenly a big bird with an unconscious woman landed at the entrance of the village, and then a sword shadow fell behind the big bird, turning into an elderly Taoist. The Taoist untied a huge animal skin pocket from behind him, only to see that the pocket was bulging.
Immediately afterwards, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy walked out of Shicun, and when he saw the crane, he shouted to Shicun: "Everyone is out!
"Hah! Finally, there is meat to eat again!" a little girl ran out of one of the stone houses, followed by an old man. When the little girl jumped up and ran to the side of the big bird, she found that the fairy Taoist helped down an unconscious woman from the bird's back, and the woman was not much older than the little girl except for a strange dress.
"Immortal Daoist, who is she?" the little boy asked. This little boy's name is Lu Pan, and he is the only upright and strong-blooded young man in Shi Village, and his pair of Xingyu sword eyebrows makes the Immortal Daoist quite optimistic.
The little girl fainted in front of her, so Poor Dao picked her up and brought her by the way. The Taoist said.
The Taoist chief's name is Xuansheng, and every once in a while he will deliver food to the villagers of Stone Village. On the way to deliver food, she happened to fall in the clouds, and a woman asked her mount to catch her and take her to Shicun together. As the Taoist leader, he naturally wouldn't tell the little boy that the woman fell from the sky, otherwise the more he explained, the more troublesome it would be.
However, the Taoist chief is very strange that this woman has a powerful hidden power in her body, and when she catches her, she is still a withered and burning body, and gradually molts into a cardamom girl. But fortunately, this girl's qualifications are excellent, and she must be a good material when recruiting introductory disciples in the near future.
"This little girl must have fainted because she was tired on the way up the mountain to apprentice, go back and ask your father and mother to boil some hot soup for her to drink!"
Above the clouds, the Dao Leader had already checked the pulse of this woman, coupled with a mysterious power hidden in the primordial spirit, and the qualifications of the apprentice cultivator were extremely high, so he also weaved these one-sided words.
Daoist Xuansheng touched the little boy's head, and then said, "Okay! The food has been delivered, and Poor Dao will go back first! Seven days later, let this little girl go up the mountain with her apprentices, and you! Don't let Poor Dao down!"
"Well, thank you, Immortal Daoist!" When the little boy thanked the Daoist, the Daoist had already flown into the clouds on a big bird. --- Entering the Peak---
Li Chuxun stood alone in the vast clouds and mist, and the cold and hunger made him seem so lonely and helpless. After all, it was fifteen-year-old Li Chuxun, and after a little sadness, tears began to roll in his eyes. After squatting on the ground and wiping away his tears, his stomach began to "gurgle", and he clearly felt a hint of hunger.
And Li Chuxun, who also entered the Dao Peak, walked the entire peak, and there was nothing worth studying except for the gossip map, so Li Chuxun walked towards the steps of the gossip map with a blank face, and then muttered to himself: "What is this place?" Unconsciously his footsteps had crossed the iron chain and stood on the edge of the gossip map.
As soon as the words fell, a glimpse floated down from the top of the fairy mountain in the clouds and mist, and a sword light broke through the air, and after the sword light dissipated, it was actually an elderly Taoist, wearing a Taoist crown of yin and yang gossip diagrams, wearing a Taoist robe, a dark iron sword obliquely inserted behind his back, wearing a pair of cloud shoes on his feet, holding a whisk of dust, and his slender beard hung down a piece of silver white, although he was slightly old but showed an elegant charm.
"Poor Dao Xuanming, I don't know what the believer wants here?" The old Taoist elder showed a trace of majesty between his eyebrows, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Hello Daoist, my name is Li Chuxun!" Li Chuxun said in modern Mandarin, "Can you tell me what kind of place this is?"
The old Taoist also carefully observed Li Chuxun, who had short hair but a bit of temperament, and was wearing a strange costume. In particular, the wide taekwondo uniform is worn on top of the unworthy body, like a child stealing the clothes of an adult.
"The believer is really extraordinary, and being able to come here on foot also proves that the believer has a very strong willpower! This is the Initiation Peak, and it is also the first level for the Sanqing Palace to recruit beginner disciples!"
"Sanqing Palace?" Li Chuxun's expression was suddenly slightly touched, Sanqing Palace seemed to be a sect seen in an ancient novel, could it be...
"Could it be that the believers didn't come here to join the Sanqing Sect?" the Taoist chief asked.
Li Chuxun thought of this, thought of the noble virtue that the shadow said, and thought of the Dao Master's body just now, and seemed to feel a strong force urging him to join the Sanqing Sect, and this force should belong to positive energy for him, "No! I just want to come to apprentice! I hope the Dao Master can take me in!"
"It's just that why do believers go up early, there is still some time before the official acceptance of disciples! Besides, the poor road can't break the rules of the sect!"
"Dao Chief, I'm really sorry, I'm lonely and unheard, I don't know how long it took to officially accept the apprentice?" Li Chuxun said with a wink.
"After seven days, you can only pass the first level when you arrive here at noon!" I saw Xuan Ming pointing to the stone tablet of the Dao Peak.
"Then I'm not embarrassed, so I'm going down the mountain, but... Alas. With that, Li Chuxun turned around with a gray face to leave.
"Do believers still have any doubts, why don't you relieve the believers one by one!"
"Can the disciples of the Sanqing faction really cultivate the Tao and become immortals? Or can they cultivate martial arts and become the leader of the martial arts alliance?" In fact, what Li Chuxun was worried about was whether the Sanqing faction was like the sect in martial arts novels, which could command martial arts and uphold justice. Even like Wudang and Shaolin, you can learn the world's best martial arts.
Daoist Xuanming didn't understand what Li Chuxun said about the leader of the martial arts alliance, but Li Chuxun's concerns were also a question common to every teenager who didn't understand Taoism, so Daoist Xuanming stroked his beard and slowly explained to Li Chuxun:
"The originator of Taoism is actually the Pangu Emperor who opened the world, only because the Pangu Emperor gasified the three Qings, and the Jiuqing Ziyuan differentiation of the soul of the Great Dao had the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. The Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Wuji Holy Ancestor Taiyuan gave birth to the Emperor West Queen Mother, and the Emperor West Queen Mother gave birth to the Earth Emperor Nuwa and the Human Emperor Fuxi, thus creating a precedent for Taoism in the Sanqing School. ”
"Thousands of years ago, before the human emperor Fuxi and the earth emperor Nuwa were born, the human race, the animal race, the demon race, and the god race were together between heaven and earth. The Protoss has supreme power, and they are born with the ability to cover the sky with one hand, and some Protoss even forcibly moved from the overseas islands to the Immortal Mountains on the Shenzhou Continent. The human race, the demon race, and the beasts were bullied by the Protoss and migrated out of the immortal mountains and dense forests occupied by the Protoss, and lived by the water. It was not until the birth of Fuxi and Nuwa, the originators of the Sanqing faction, that the human race, the demon race and the animal race really surpassed the god race and jumped to the top of the world. ”
"The human emperor Fuxi created the river map, and turned Heming Mountain into a fairy mountain, and created the Three Qingjiao on Heming Mountain in accordance with the wishes of the three Tianzun, the originators of Taoism, and became the originator of the Three Qingjiao. It's just that after the originator of Sanqing Sect Fuxi became an immortal, many disciples moved to various places in Chuzhou in order to preach the essence of Taoism and created various factions, in addition to the Sanqing faction of the Southern Sect of Heming Mountain, there is also the Tongtian faction of the Northern Sect of Jinao Island, and the Sanqing faction is actually the first sect of Taoism. ”
After listening to Daoist Xuan Ming's account of the origin of the Sanqing Sect, Li Chuxun felt that he was so lucky to be here, no wonder the shadow vaguely let himself join the Sanqing Sect in his words before leaving. Unconsciously, Li Chuxun had already walked past the stone tablet of the "Entering Dao Peak" in a trance, and he forgot to say goodbye to Daoist Xuanming.
"Believer, please stay! Since the believer has come regardless of the hardships and dangers, the poor road should give the believer a ride!" the old Taoist chief said, grabbed Li Chuxun with his left hand, and then flew and jumped, turning into a Changhong sword shadow and gliding quickly between the sky. Suddenly, Li Chuxun felt that his whole body was swept by the wind, and after a while, his kung fu had already landed in an open field, "If the believer wants to apprentice, please go up to the Dao Peak after the seventh day, and the poor Dao will leave first!"
When Li Chuxun looked back, the old Taoist had already turned into a sword shadow and flew towards the peak. The light skills of the Taoist chief strengthened Li Chuxun's confidence even more, and he was also full of endless yearning for the Sanqing faction. The dense camphor tree has been extending to the mountain, looking back at the peak, the peak is straight into the clouds and mist, a thousand rocks are showing, there is no cave. A winding path rises in the dense forest, and a sense of isolation makes Li Chuxun think deeply.
"Shadow, are you still there?" Li Chuxun asked with a blank expression, then asked at his shadow that appeared from time to time. After a long time, the shadow did not answer, and he thought to himself that the shadow was not as he thought, and he could chat with him at any time to dispel his loneliness. I thought that it was better to walk around here first, otherwise how could I understand this unknown world.
A winding path down from the entrance peak was full of weeds, and a few grasshoppers flew from time to time in the three-foot-high weeds, and the size was as huge as a chicken and duck. After walking for a while, the sky also darkened, the weeds rustled by the cold wind, and a few beast cries came from time to time in the distant valley, which made Li Chuxun, who was walking alone between the mountains and forests, feel terrified. At this time, even if you are afraid, you can only go all the way forward, because in this barren wilderness, no matter what unexpected situation you encounter, you may not be able to deal with it, and the only thing is to keep moving forward.
