Chapter 1,191 A new interpretation of 'birthless mother, empty hometown'
"Is the body of the Inanimate Mother really the Queen Mother?"
As early as when it was determined that the Innocent Old Mother was not conceived by a new god, but an ancient god who descended into the mortal world, Li Yan had speculated that it might be the Queen Mother who did it, but after thinking about it, he thought it was unlikely.
With the growth of belief in history, among the series of nicknames for the Wusheng Old Mother, there is indeed the Yaochi Golden Mother, which refers to the Queen Mother. She is the head of the female immortals and even the mother of the gods.
The real key to this rise in status is the White Lotus Sect. Led by it, hundreds of secret religions among the people directly or indirectly worship the Inanimate Mother as the highest god, even above the Jade Emperor.
Of course, the imperial court, Taoism and Buddhism did not approve of it, and denounced it as fallacies and heresies, as well as obscene sacrifices and evil sacrifices, so that the conflict between the two parties was obvious. Those who believed in her praised it very highly, while those who did not believe in it scorned it. It did not form a universal belief.
View.
So there is no need for the Queen Mother to do such a thing. On the contrary, she is the target of the challenge. Why bother to start her own rebellion?
But in this world, the world is filthy, and the purpose is not that simple, not to mention this "grand meeting" in the Peach Garden...
However, Li Yan did not forget that the purpose of using his talent was not simply to reveal the secret, but to find a way to counterattack the formidable enemy in the lower realm who had defeated the spirit of the body and the messenger of the altar.
Therefore, faced with such a terrifying scene, he calmed down and moved forward instead of retreating. The power of listening was directed towards the head of the female immortals, the goddess who controlled the yin energy and gave birth to all things.
Such a move is undoubtedly extremely bold. It is equivalent to the real and fake Monkey King. Diting put his ears on the two Wukongs to listen, which is basically equivalent to directing the output in the face.
Fortunately, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. When this unscrupulous attempt is made, the rewards are immediate.
When the Queen Mother's unique breathing rhythm reached his ears, Li Yan was surprised and immediately realized that he might have been deceived by appearances.
The immortals and gods are located under the peach tree, and they are restrained by divine prohibitions and pulled by silk threads. If the Queen Mother is the main messenger, her sense of presence should be extremely strong, and she can subdue the immortals and become a crowd.
But in fact, the Queen Mother's breathing was barely audible, and the amount of clear air she breathed was not even as good as the seven fairies who were sleeping outside before. If the silk thread was not really connected to her body, the sense of existence would be the lowest.
"Is the body of the incarnation in the lower realm empty?"
"No! This is a kind of self-protection, similar to the dragon clan's method, but more sophisticated."
If he hadn't discovered from the dragon girl who ate, slept, and ate that the dragon's deep sleep actually helped resist external erosion, then Li Yan would be biased toward the idea that the Queen Mother's body fell into emptiness during the process of coming to earth.
But now he is basically certain that the Queen Mother has fallen into a deep sleep of self-protection. She is the deepest sleeper and the least consumed among the immortals.
Based on this point, looking at the silk threads all over the garden is another way.
It's true that she transformed into many, but instead of treating the immortals as puppets, she took them to sleep together, resisting the erosion of the outside world in a state of deep sleep.
"It's a pity that I'm not here in person, so I can't give acupuncture and treatment to completely confirm this."
However, the evidence alone is too weak based on the sleeping method similar to that of the Dragon Clan. The other party may also be disguising, but further investigation is impossible.
So after listening to it repeatedly and even learning this method, Li Yan fell into a new choice.
Do you want to try to wake the other person up?
The stakes in this step are too important. If the Queen Mother is evil, such behavior is tantamount to shooting herself in the foot.
But between retreating and resisting, Li Yan finally chose the latter without hesitation. His divine power turned into a needle and gently probed towards the opponent's eyebrows.
The moment she touched the divine body, the power dissipated. The Queen Mother's eyelids trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of distant dark eyes: "Listen... No, why are you a spiritual creature?"
Li Yan sent out a wave of divine power: "People from the lower world have seen the empress!"
The Queen Mother's attitude was calm: "Why are you here?"
Li Yan said: "Please tell me, my queen, what happened in heaven? Why did the immortals gather under the peach tree?"
He asked straight to the point, and the Queen Mother also answered simply: "Immortals and gods have a long life, and disaster is coming."
"Is that really the case?"
Li Yan's heart sank.
The so-called misty clouds come and go, and the cold and heat do not invade and keep track of the years. The gods originally lived the same life as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon shine together. Now they have reached the end of their lifespan and are about to die?
The heaven and earth are filthy, and the gods and Buddhas who live as long as the heaven and earth are bound to be affected, but this can be said to be the worst situation. No wonder they sleep under the peach tree.
It's interesting to say that eating spiritual fruits like ginseng fruit and flat peach can make living beings live forever. Those who enjoy them are always immortal gods. Those who really need to rely on them to live forever cannot eat them at all.
Now, the flat peach has finally played its true role and has become the key to the immortal god's life.
After confirming this, Li Yan asked a new question: "The peach tree can only extend the life of the gods. Will there be a decline in the five gods and humans in the future?"
The five declines of gods and humans is a Buddhist concept, which refers to the various strange phenomena that occur when the life span of gods and humans is about to expire.
For example, the clothes are dirty and dirty. Originally, the clothes of gods were clean and graceful, but at the end of their lives, they will start to grow dirty. Another example is the wilting of the flowers on the head. The gods usually wear bright crowns, but at the end of their lives,
The crown of glory will slowly wither...
There are also sweating under the armpits, body odor, problems with the originally pure and flawless body, and also a feeling of boredom and impatience.
From the current point of view, these can definitely happen to the gods, but the time has not yet come.
After all, the speed of flow in heaven is different from that in the human world. One day in the sky, one year underground, and nearly a thousand years in the human world correspond to less than a thousand days in the heaven. The peach tree can still support it during this time, but it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
The Queen Mother said: "The short life is gorgeous, but it has shortcomings at the beginning, but it can leave endless nostalgia in the end. The long life is indifferent, and it is perfect at the beginning, but it will inevitably wither in the end, and there is nothing you can do about it."
There was compassion in her words, but the overall tone was very indifferent, stating the facts.
The fragrant fragrance lingers, and the peaceful heaven becomes empty.
The unrestrained and carefree immortals huddle in the garden and rely on the peach trees to survive. It is indeed inevitable to wither.
Li Yan had no time to sigh, so he listened to the activities in the garden again and made a judgment: "So, the empress led the immortals to sleep, even at the expense of using divine imprisonment, in order to prevent the evil spirits from being born in the process of decline.
?”
These declines do not happen overnight. During the entire process, will the immortals and gods be unable to accept their own depravity, change their character, and embody evil spirits, causing harm to the three realms?
The answer is self-evident.
That’s why there are Shenyin and Shenmian.
Realizing this, when I looked at Pantaoyuan again, it was no longer the creepy feeling I had when I first saw it, but a sense of silent protection.
Things in the world are so wonderful, different perspectives will lead to completely opposite conclusions.
Of course, this is just a test, and Li Yan is not completely convinced.
The Queen Mother did not answer, her eyes were deep, as if she was looking at the visitors from the lower world communicating with her, and she seemed to be looking into the empty and distant future.
A future where the gods may no longer exist...
Li Yan pulled her back with a question: "The Wusheng Old Mother came to the lower world and used filth to sacrifice to the evil gods. Who does the empress think she is from heaven?"
The Queen Mother asked: "How can we prove that it is the lower realm of gods?"
Li Yandao: "Today, Tao Zhongwen, the great master of the Ming Dynasty in Zhongtu, Nanzhan, was the reincarnation of the daughter of the All-Saint Dragon King of Bibotan, Hezhou, Xiniu. He once stole the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass from the empress, warmed the Buddha's relics, and kept it with his mother.
Make more plans together, and be willing to work for the mastermind behind the scenes. I personally interrogated and made this judgment..."
The Queen Mother dug out this incident from the vast sea of memories, and then listened to Wusheng Old Mother's sacrifices from the Delo Sect, her entanglement with the White Lotus Sect, and her pursuit of the Jingtan Messenger. She was silent for a moment and replied: "It is difficult to discern the secrets of heaven.
, I don’t know his true identity either.”
The more powerful the gods and Buddhas are, the better they are at pinching and calculating. Now this ability is considered useless. Even the Queen Mother cannot figure out the true identity of Wusheng Old Mother.
Fortunately, when Li Yan analyzed the problem, he always started from details and logic, and did not rely on direct calculations. He asked again: "Not all the gods in heaven are sleeping here, are there any evil spirits that have slipped through the net?"
The Queen Mother shook her head: "The gods have their own destination, and they have no intention of descending to earth."
Thinking that this was the world of Journey to the West, Li Yan asked again: "Is there a Taoist boy or a mount who could cause trouble in the lower world if he is not careful?
The Queen Mother actually understood: "This is not the time when the Buddha of Tantan Merit went west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. There were no such people who secretly went down to the lower world to cause trouble."
Li Yan was dumbfounded, but he didn't quite believe it.
If it is not the Queen Mother, nor the sleeping gods, nor even the Taoist mount, then who is the powerful Wusheng Old Mother?
The key is that the faces of Taiyin Star Lord and Chang'e Fairy shown by the other party have the power of the Moon Palace and are deeply related to this environment.
Instead of thinking, the Queen Mother stopped communicating, immediately closed her eyelids, and went to sleep without saying a word.
"My dear, wait a minute!"
Naturally, Li Yan couldn't let her sleep. At this moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and his hearing passed over her and fell on the peach tree behind him.
There are 3,600 flat peaches in the garden, and the one where the Queen Mother is standing is the most leafy and lush. The open umbrella cover seems to be able to cover the entire flat peach garden.
This scene is undoubtedly spectacular, but it is also commonplace in the heaven. Li Yan had previously regarded it as a background, focusing on the threads created by the Queen Mother, many immortals and even the gods.
Now, the flat peach tree is included as a listening target.
Then, a special breath that could not be detected fell into my ears.
The peach tree has become mature.
Not only did it become a spirit, it also resonated with the other more than 3,000 plants in the garden, and then interacted with and absorbed the power of the gods.
"The flat peach has extended the lives of the gods and is their mother. Now this flat peach garden is also the new home of the gods..."
