An ancient tree that resembles a mountain is fluorescing.
Its leaves run through golden veins, and waterfalls hang from the treetops, like suspended golden veils in the night.
The cracks on the surface of the tree trunk were like countless giant dragons entangled and spiraling up, and in the deep cracks was the glow of lava flowing quietly.
Vaguely, one can catch the ancient seal script that pervades the place.
"Has this tree always been like this?" someone asked under the tree.
Yuchai Shunde raised his head, his eyes reflected the huge tree crown like a dome.
"No..." Myolie Chu swallowed.
She stayed here for several years, witnessing the slow rise of this old tree accompanied by the red dragon and then occupied by Rakshasa, until the dragon returned and annihilated the Rakshasa, washed it, and turned it into the ancient mountain-like tree it is today.
Although it is huge and boundless, it is still just a tree. It has not yet developed spiritual intelligence, let alone rising.
She didn't know why the old camphor tree became like this tonight.
"Do you know?" Chu Xing'er turned her head and looked to the other side.
There was a snow-white fox curled up there.
Before entering the Yang God, you cannot transform into a human form. The previous human form was a charm technique unique to the rise of the fox clan. It is said that in the past, fox demons who were unwilling to practice hard relied on this technique to absorb the essence of other creatures. This is Chu
Myolie knew it, but Yuchai Shunde knew more. She said that in the more ancient times, foxes were a kind of auspiciousness, and they were born sacred. The so-called cultivation of human body in advance was one of the symbols of born sacredness. But for some reason, later on
The fox clan has become like this.
It has lost its holiness and has become a desire in the eyes of all spirits.
Putting aside these things for now, Chu Xing'er heard that Qing Yan had seen it before, and this fox should be the first creature to find this place.
The white fox shook his head.
"That's what happened suddenly." Yuchai Shunde thought.
She felt some unusual atmosphere in this giant tree, which was not there when she arrived, until today, until this time tonight.
The branches and leaves cut into pieces of moonlight, casting three or two moon shadows in front of Yuchai Shunde.
What did she think of?
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, I saw the full moon behind the clouds in the high sky.
Is it because of the moon?
…………
At the same time, the moon.
Center of annual rings.
Two figures sat there, looking at the end of the earth where the star was.
The slowly rotating bright blue star fills the picture in that direction, magnificent and magnificent.
"I've never heard of the Eternal One." Li Xi'an shook his head.
He searched his memory carefully just now.
When Yaochi Yimeng was traveling in Jiuzhou, he had been walking around the world for eighty years, but he had never heard of the title "The Eternal One". On the contrary, the realm of Law and Dao above the True One was holy. He knew this and someone mentioned it. Some people said,
In the realm of Law and Dao, one can clearly feel the rules in the universe, which is the embodiment of "Tao". The meaning of the name Law and Dao is that one must follow the rules with one's own body, comply with the Dao, and not be swallowed up by the torrent of the Dao, only then can one become a saint.
.
In the past, there were only saints in Kyushu, and there were never any immortals.
Perhaps Yuhua was just a name for a saint in the Hidden Age, but Li Xi'an was keenly aware that it was much more than that.
If it is holy, then it is called the Law and the Way.
There is a title for a person who has become an immortal, called "immortal". The ancient monks practiced to the extreme and jumped out of the cycle of life and death, old age, illness and death, which is called becoming an immortal. Before, Li Xi'an's understanding of this sentence was probably the ancients' understanding of those
The description of powerful monks, they imagined a term to describe those powerful, untouchable existences. Yuhuan means to jump out of the Tao, while Sheng means to master and run the Tao.
"The person who becomes an immortal is not a saint, right?" Li Xi'an asked.
The woman blinked her eyes, seeming a little surprised.
"I haven't even said a few words, how come you've come to a conclusion?"
She breathed a sigh of relief.
He stretched out leisurely.
"Can you tell me how you noticed it?"
Li Xi'an thought for a moment.
"In the present world, I met ancestors from the old Kyushu who have been sleeping until now. They all conveyed a message to me. When Kyushu fell, there was no way to rely on and no way to find. They are the unshakable ones among the ancestors. It stands to reason that
After the long years at the end of Kyushu, they should have become saints in the law. But they did not, and they stayed in the true one and could not make any progress."
"There is no way in Kyushu."
"At that time, this star lost the ability to give birth to creatures of the law."
"Did Tao exist again in the Hidden Age? I don't think so." Li Xi'an said. He didn't come, so he added, "It doesn't seem to exist now."
The woman was stunned for a moment.
The relaxed expression tightened when Li Xi'an finished the last sentence.
But she quickly returned to normal and waved her hand.
"Okay, okay, I have to say that your intuition is very keen. The Emergent is not a Saint, that is true. There is a very big difference between the two, not just a little bit, but very, essentially different. In the Star Sea
Those creatures call us saints because we cannot reach the Supreme, but we can perceive and operate the rules."
"So, who are you?" Li Xi'an asked again.
"And, what on earth are you doing in the Star Sea? I met Kukulkan. He should be a being at the same level as you. He died, and his head was buried at the bottom of the abyss with iron ropes, together with his city and civilization.
"
"Shh-" The woman put her index finger on her lips.
This moment is silent.
Smooth out the words Li Xian asked.
"Don't mention it, they'll find out."
"But I can answer your question. It's not a big deal for a dead person. In fact, as the sun and the moon rotate, the creatures on this land will eventually know the past. If I answer, you will know, you know
Being early is not a benefit, it’s a curse.”
"Have you thought about it?"
"There is a price to pay for getting the answer, and the price may be your life. I can't guarantee your future after knowing this." The woman has never been so solemn.
She looked to her side.
The pair of gold-like eyes stared at her, saying nothing.
The woman smiled.
"There's really nothing I can do against you."
Her voice was very soft, but every tone struck the void.
The whole earth is twisting, no, it should be said that the annual rings under their feet are changing and twisting!
Ripples appear.
Li Xi'an's contact with the outside world was completely cut off, and he didn't know where he was at the moment.
Only the woman next to me continued to speak, like a poet reciting a poem or a child reciting a fairy tale.
She waved her hand, and in an instant the entire moon was pushed away.
Li Xi'an was sitting side by side with her in the empty nothingness, looking at the bright stars and the moon in the distance.
At this time, the star was full of life, the white luster of the moon flowed on the surface like an ocean, and a sacred tree covered with stars stood tall.
"A long time ago, when people looked up, they would find that they could not see the moon."
"Because I took this star away, crossed the sea of stars, and reached the other shore. In the universe, countless realms have become passers-by, and I left my silhouette there. After all, if you think about it, you will find that not all worlds will have them.
The moon. But my arrival allowed them to see and possess it. From then on, countless worlds were affected and the moon came into being."
"The lunar sun rises and rotates together. This is the ladder that creates the world's ascent."
"A world like Kyushu, which is born with the lunar sun and the sun, is destined to achieve greatness. It is true that Kyushu is one of the oldest and splendid civilizations in the entire universe. Your future generations may not feel clearly, but we know that civilization.
, there are far more ancient beings who can cross the stars at will, and are respected in the world, far more than ten fingers."
the woman said.
In front of them was a vast and boundless realm.
He is not in the state of a star, but just suspended in the universe, held up by the stars.
This is the true attitude of Kyushu.
The stars act as a curtain, and the heavens receive their blessings.
After the woman finished speaking, she gently waved her sleeves, and the scene in front of her was extinguished. She reached out to take the extinguished darkness, and the fragments spun and gathered in her hands, eventually forming a spherical shape, bright blue, and magnificent.
"I don't know exactly what caused Kyushu to become the current star body, but this is a clear choice."
"Most of the worlds in the universe exist in the form of stars, and those who can escape from the form of stars..."
"Are they the oldest and most powerful worlds?" Li Xi'an said.
At this moment, he was quietly looking at the stars spinning in the woman's palm.
"Yes."
"Those worlds with the same personality as Kyushu are like this."
"You've seen it." Li Xi'an spoke again. It was not a question, but an affirmation.
"Yeah, I've seen it."
"This is also my purpose of crossing the sea of stars."
The woman raised her head, and Li Xi'an looked over with her gaze. The dead universe suddenly came to life, and the stars in the sky were moving, forming a hand. At the same time, a pair of eyes appeared above them.
"Don't look." The cold and delicate touch covered Li Xi'an's eyes.
"Even if it's just an illusion created by me, don't look at it."
"He will know."
As if she knew what Li Xi'an was thinking, she added: "The dead are not afraid."
"You guessed it right, the one who can have such a posture is the Supreme."
"I took the moon away for this Supreme Being."
"As for why..." the woman suddenly laughed, "What else could it be? Of course, to kill him."
"He 'saw' me."
"Remember what I said to you, there is an essential difference between Yuhua and Law? In fact, in the hidden era, we can only reach the true one, which is often called the ancestor. After that, we can't see the way. Without the Tao,
Without rules, we are still facing a broken land of Kyushu."
"So, feathering occurred."
"All roads are for walking. If there is no road, don't wait for the road. Step into the thorn bush on the other side to find your way out."
"When the first person became an immortal, he left Kyushu and the road to heaven opened up. When people saw this, they called him an immortal and thought he had gone to another world to become a god."
"This is the understanding of the world, and we are willing to give the world this understanding. In fact, we have to leave."
"The person who emerges will attract attention from the depths of the star sea when he emerges."
"We must leave and cut off our sight."
"What do you mean? Line of sight in the depths of the sea of stars? Kukulkan said the same thing. His body cut off the sight of Kyushu in the depths of the sea of stars. He lowered his projection to see me for the last time." Li Xi'an closed his eyes, and his breath
Very manic.
There is some kind of opportunity to connect the things he knows, and what he pulls out is not the truth he wants, but an explosive more terrifying than the truth.
That line is the fuse of the explosive.
He understood something.
He stretched out his hand and gently took off the hand covering his eyes, looking at the hand stretched out in the dead universe.
An entire star field doesn't even count as palm prints.
"Is this our enemy?" he said.
"You go to the depths of the star sea and face the Supreme Being?"
"Yes, this is my mortal enemy." the woman replied.
"They destroyed Kyushu in the past but still haven't given up looking for Kyushu after it fell. They sat in the sea of stars, scanning thousands of worlds, in order to find this place. Before Kyushu completely fell, there should be living beings who protected Kyushu, otherwise in the world
In the past, they would be found by those supreme beings, crushed into dust, and returned to nothingness. Now, that protection still exists."
"Quite clever."
"Have you heard about the Kyushu Supreme in the universe?"
"Of course." The woman replied briskly, looking at the branches on Li Xi'an's forehead that looked like dead wood.
“Do you know ‘should’?”
Li Xi'an was stunned.
When the woman said that name, the arm under Xingyu disappeared, and even the pair of eyes closed.
As if afraid.
"There is a supreme and invincible giant in Kyushu, and he is also the Dragon King among the ten categories of Zhou Tian. His name is Ying. He is called Ying Long in all the worlds. I can know how terrifying this person is when I travel across the sea of stars.
As a matter of fact, he died in a universe, taking with him the Supreme Being, who was also an invincible species that emerged from the ten categories of the universe."
"and after?"
"died."
Li Xi'an took a breath.
"In the realm I went to, they were assigned corresponding wings, which were hung in the sky. Each feather shone with stars. They were other worlds conquered by this realm. This embellished the glory and invincibility of that ancient realm.
."
"The feathered one is no match for the Supreme." The woman sighed slightly.
"Otherwise, I'd better take off those wings."
"Does the Feathered One really have the capital to fight against the Supreme?"
"It's possible."
"At least I tried to make him unable to see again, unless he transforms again. However, this old thing has lived longer than many primitive stars. It is very difficult to transform. If there is such a chance, I think I will also have a chance to survive.
"
"There is no realm of becoming a human in the world beyond the stars."
"Even Kyushu is not really owned. It is at best a flash in the pan of our era. Therefore, the spirits have a biased understanding of us. The realm of ascension and immortality is a wonderful span. Some of them can rival the saints.
And there are some who are rivals to the Supreme. According to the knowledge of realms in the sea of stars, the Saints who leave the Tao and the Uncrowned Supreme are more accurate names. Not all ascendants can be called the Uncrowned Supreme, but I can!
"She was laughing, laughing wantonly.
In this laughter, Li Xi'an saw the shaking of the sea of stars, the withering of the laurel, and the death of the star. Everything happened in an instant and disappeared in an instant.
"So you're back."
"It should be said that only in this way can I come back." The woman's eyes were filled with full moons.
She finally believed that Kyushu could not lose the moon.
So I returned, died on the bones of Laurel, and watched the star forever.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It's closed.
If I didn’t make up for yesterday’s work today, I’ll definitely do it tomorrow, otherwise I’ll see you in advance.
The following is additional information.
About Yinglong.
The earliest record about Yinglong is the Book of Mountains and Seas, which does not mention Yinglong's name and gender. The description of Yinglong's gender as female comes from "Jingzhou Zhan", which is the myth of Chu.
Also, the concubine of Taiyi." By the way, why is it Huanglong and not Yinglong? The descriptions of Yinglong and Huanglong in several other documents are basically consistent, so later people regarded the Huanglong here as Yinglong.
The article writes that in order to avoid the intricate mythological system of Chinese culture, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is directly used.
There is no mention of Ying Long's gender position or anything like that.
As for the record, I think there is almost no one in the Classic of Mountains and Seas who has a more terrifying record than Yinglong. This guy is really fierce, and he can kill all over the world in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Okay, so far, this is just casual chat, not popular science. After all, everyone’s understanding of this thing is different from everyone else. I’m just describing my understanding.
good night everybody.
There will be three updates tomorrow, so I can’t bring myself to see you (emphasis again)
