Chapter 401 What will the world look like in a thousand years?
Chapter 401: What will the world look like after a thousand years?
"Does the Taoist really have no feelings?" The woman, dressed in white, looked directly at him, "Or is it that the knot we left in the Taoist's heart before can't be untied no matter what we do?"
"Rebuilding the ghost city is thanks to the yin and yang spiritual power of the step, which is a great achievement. If the step is willing to guard the ghost city again to ensure that the underworld and the underworld are smoothly condensed and not interfered by the gods, Buddhas and monsters, it will be another achievement." Song You is still so gentle.
His tone was indifferent, even a little weak because he had been sitting on the high platform for a long time, "One step has nothing to do with humanity, so this exchange is also sincere."
"Wan Jiang is just helping the Taoist priest, not helping people. Just like Wan Jiang playing the piano here, he just wants to relieve the Taoist priest's boredom."
"I seem to be unwilling."
"It seems that the Taoist priest still doesn't believe our sincerity..."
The woman lowered her eyes for a moment, and when she raised her head again, she was much calmer and said with a smile: "That's all, if you don't believe it, don't believe it, just exchange it... It's just that the Taoist priest now wants us to guard the ghost town on earth, so what we had done with the Taoist priest before
What about the other exchange mentioned? In the fight between Taoist Master and Heaven, don’t you need our help?"
"I am very grateful to you for being able to guard the ghost town and benefit the Yin spirits."
"Wan Jiang has another idea."
"Speaking."
Song Xingli said.
"What we said before is that another exchange is still the same. When the Taoist Master needs us many years later and needs an ancient power to help the Taoist Master fight against the sky, we will use the Fox Ancestor's Severed Tail and the Hundred Years of Life.
I will borrow the power of the ancient power to lend a helping hand to the Taoist Master, go all out, and have no regrets in life or death. If we are lucky enough to survive together with the Taoist Master, the Taoist Master will only give us half an elixir of longevity."
The woman also looked directly at him, her eyes deep and calm, and she paused as she spoke:
"As for the ghost town on earth, it's only about ten years. We have been in Changjing for ten years. We have waited for hundreds of years before Changjing. Taoist priest Xiuzhu wants to burn it down for another hundred years, so he doesn't care about ten more boring years.
"As long as the Taoist priest opens his mouth and asks us for help, like old friends, we will be willing to guard here for ten years for the Taoist priest, until the underworld is condensed, without asking for anything in return.
"It's just that in this way, we don't have time to leave the inheritance, so we have to invite the remaining juniors of our Yuezhou Fox Clan here. Wan Jiang will hand over the inheritance of practice magic to them. Wan Jiang will give it to them ten years later."
Leave this place, still help the Taoist priest, fight against the sky, and have no regrets in life or death."
At that moment, the Taoist's eyes flickered.
Even Sanhua Empress, who had run to his feet and squatted down at some point, sat upright after hearing this and stared at the fox blankly.
"how?"
The woman stared straight at him.
"I have underestimated you for the past ten years. The reason why Tiangong is so helpless is not entirely because of my magical power, but more because I have a legal advantage in this matter. Once we leave, Tiangong will definitely find some way to rob us.
The power of the underworld priest. The ghost city needs the yin and yang spiritual power of the foot to maintain its operation, and it also needs the foot to assist the Yue Wang Shenjun to resist the pressure." Song You was silent for a moment before saying, "When the foot helps the heaven and the earth to successfully condense the underworld, I will offer you a gift.
With the entire Immortality Pill, I can slowly leave the legacy of the Fox Clan and seek the path of the Nine Tails."
"The Taoist priest is really ruthless..."
"I have treated each other sincerely."
"That's all, I originally said that I would meet the Taoist Priest again in Yangdu, but now it seems that there is no chance." The woman lowered her gaze and looked at the ground, "But this is fine, because I can't ask for the Taoist Priest's sincerity, but I can only ask for immortality.
The Kyuubi is not bad, maybe it’s easier than what I originally asked for.”
"On the day when the underworld gathers together, the elixir of longevity is offered."
"It's still just half a pill!"
"Why?"
"If Chang Yuanzi doesn't know, doesn't the Taoist priest also know?" The fox looked at him with a smile, "What's the difference between eating one pill, half a pill, ten pills?"
"rational."
Song You nodded calmly.
Although the Imperial Master is extremely intelligent, he has little knowledge and knowledge of ancient times, and cannot feel the way of heaven. Naturally, he does not know that the way of heaven has long prohibited immortality.
The Imperial Master also wants to practice ten furnaces of immortality pills to pray for ten thousand years of life.
Yes--
The longevity that the Imperial Master seeks is ten thousand years.
But he doesn't know that the way of heaven does not allow immortality, and has already cut off most of the roads to immortality in the world. Even if he finds a new road to immortality, it will be cut off again in hundreds or thousands of years at most.
If you eat one pill, you will live for hundreds of years longer. If you eat half a pill, you will live for hundreds of years longer. If you eat ten pills, you will live for only a few hundred years.
There may be a difference, but not a big one.
Song You was not sure for a moment whether this was the reason why the fox demon only asked for half a pill.
"Thank you very much."
"It's just an exchange. The Taoist priest asked for the underworld, and we asked for immortality, how can we say thank you?" The fox demon's voice was still calm, but it was much quieter, and he paused for a while before saying, "But when Wan Jiang was asking for immortality,
Always think about a question."
"Please say."
"Taoist Master, tell me, which dynasty and generation will the world be in a thousand years from now? What will the world look like at that time?"
"Have you already thought about a thousand years from now?"
"Yes." The woman said, "In fact, not only humans have civilization and history books, but we demons also have them. It's just that demons and humans remember history in different ways."
"..."
"When people write about major historical events, they can write a book in ten years, a basket in a hundred years, and a house in a thousand years. Maybe it's not enough. But in the history of demons, there is only one book in a thousand years."
The woman said and smiled slightly:
"With Taoist Priest's character, I think Taoist Priest would find it very interesting if he were to read the history books of demons - in the history books of demons, the time span is very large. When Wan Jiang read it, it only took him two days to read it.
It has been around for thousands of years. It is said that more than a thousand years ago, nobles in the world had to be buried with living people when they died, and even the gods in the sky had to use living people or human heads as sacrifices. At that time, neither gods nor humans felt that there was any difference.
No, the thoughts and culture of the world at that time were completely different from what they are now.
"Sometimes I think about it. Although they were both ruled by emperors and were not much different from now, they were like two completely different worlds from now. So Wan Jiang often thought about what the world would be like in hundreds of thousands of years.
What does it look like?"
"Maybe it will change even more than it did thousands of years ago," Song You said.
"Is it?"
"After you have cultivated the Nine Tails in one step, you can see it for yourself."
"Of course." The woman's eyes were in a trance, "I just think that the world at that time had become brand new, it was a different dynasty, with different poems and music, and different cultural habits. When I thought that I was going to that strange place.
In the era when I went to see the world and look around me, but I couldn't find an old friend, I felt a great sense of loneliness. It was as if Wan Jiang was walking alone in the empty wilderness when his spiritual wisdom first emerged. Wan Jiang still remembers that time.
It's dusk."
"There is a tail under the feet."
"Too."
The woman smiled slightly and saluted: "Wanjiang will protect this place. Please leave, Taoist Priest."
"Farewell."
The woman looked at them in silence.
After the Taoist turned around and walked away gradually, following the cat at his feet and looking back at them as he walked, she also walked away, then she withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and meditated on the spot.
"..."
The woman opened her eyes and said nothing, only exhaled a breath.
"call……"
The bluestone qin stand in front of me disappeared with the wind, and the guqin also turned into blue smoke, curling up in the air.
The woman turned around, took just one step, and transformed into the eight-tailed fox demon. She no longer looked at the Taoist in the distance, bent down and jumped into the air. In the blink of an eye, she reached the edge of this ghost town on earth - that is
Far away from the central ghost town, it is located in three different directions with the Yuewang Shenjun's mansion and the Buddhist Empty Temple.
The fox demon wears eight tails and sits upright.
Then he closed his eyes——
"Bahba..."
Behind him, a seed sprouted, bursting out of the almost illusory land, growing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it grew into a huge plum tree, with lush branches and leaves, as if to protect the fox demon from the wind and rain.
Almost at the same time, the eight-tailed fox turned into a stone sculpture from bottom to top and sat here.
…
Two days later, in the empty temple.
The monk came here carrying a wooden staff. He was weak and coughing constantly.
The two big ghosts were still following him.
As early as when Hezhou returned to the county to rescue the victims of the demon epidemic, he spent too much energy. When he reached Fengzhou, he was not far from the end of his life. After staying in the ghost town for more than half a year, he had already run out of gas.
.
This temple is also small, only big enough to accommodate one person.
The monk almost stooped to go in, and after giving instructions to the two giant ghosts, he put his wooden staff aside and sat cross-legged among them.
Take out the rosary beads, close your eyes and bow your head, and recite the scriptures silently.
After reciting the sutra once, the rosary beads immediately dropped.
The monk's head also hung deeply.
"..."
The incense and wish power of heaven and earth came from all over the human world, as well as from the ghost spirits of the ghost town. In an instant, he created a divine body and a dharma body for him.
The monk walked out of the small temple again, his face calm.
When he turned around, he saw that there was only one human body in the temple.
"Amitabha……"
The monk waved his hand in that direction.
The body suddenly turned into a statue, as if it were made of wood. It had no mouth, nose, ears and eyes, as if it had not yet been carved.
The monk withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Two big ghosts also followed him.
…
Song You had already packed his luggage and walked to the gate of the ghost town with his bay-red horse.
I don’t know how many evil officials and ghosts will be sent to me after my death.
"Where is the immortal master going again?"
"Traveling around the world, I collected five pieces of earth and created the underworld for you."
"When will the immortal master come back?"
"You will come back the day you gather together in the underworld."
"Immortal..."
"The sun is shining ahead, please don't send it far away."
Many Yin officials and ghost generals stopped, and behind them there were countless Yin spirits from ghost cities.
No matter whether they were good or evil in life, or whether they had great merits or demerits, they all gathered here and stared up at the Taoist.
The ghosts had different expressions, but they were all grateful.
From the early spring of last year, when the Taoist first came here, everything he did was seen by them.
If you think about it carefully, the Taoist is neither a ghost nor has he ever gained any benefit from it. However, with his ability to reach heaven, he can not only be with the national master, but also walk with the palace of heaven. No matter which path he takes, he can rely on the underworld and the underworld.
He and countless Yin spirits gained huge benefits, but he did not have any. Even when he left at this time, he left so calmly and relaxedly, and did not even stay for a few more days. Even the most stupid ghost knew what the Taoist had done. But even if
He is the smartest ghost, and I may not be able to figure out why he is like this.
Song You just stopped and turned around, looking at the ghost town again.
The ghost city in the middle is almost completed. There are four palaces temporarily set up, which belong to the underworld. On the outer edge are three different directions. The gods and emperors stand at the door of the mansion, toasting to him in the distance. In the low temple on the other side.
There is only one faceless wooden statue, the fox demon turned into a stone sculpture, standing alone in the distance.
"Where's the fox tail?"
The voice of Sanhua Empress came from beside me.
During this year, Sanhua Empress not only entertained herself, but also practiced and worked. She often went to play with the fox's tail. It was said that she had a lot of fun, at least the fox's tail would eat what she caught.
"The fox's tail is naturally on the fox's body." Song You replied casually, and before many Yin spirits were about to kneel down again, he turned and left, "Let's go, Sanhua Empress."
"oh!"
The calico cat immediately followed him.
The bay horse and swallow followed closely behind.
Behind him, the Yue Wang Shenjun drank all the contents of the cup. The monk sitting cross-legged in the ghost city clasped his hands and closed his eyes. Even the stone statue of the fox seemed to have opened his eyes.
The sun is shining brightly outside, making it blindingly bright.
When we first went out, the sky and the earth were completely white.
The calico cat's eyes instantly became a narrow vertical slit, and Song You also squinted his eyes. When his vision returned to the bright spring light, it was already bright.
