Ye Kong and the Divine Turtle sat opposite each other, with tea and a fruit plate on the table.
The divine turtle was like an old man, sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, with long eyebrows and long beard. If it weren't for the turtle shell on his head, Ye Kong would have thought he was a human.
One person and one turtle, drinking tea quietly.
It wasn't until a moment later that Ye Kong asked, "How long have you lived?"
The turtle slowly put down the teacup and said, "I existed when the world first opened."
"I can't remember how many years it has been until now."
He is undoubtedly the longest living turtle, from the beginning of the world to the present.
"You have lived longer than Mother Earth, so you must know a lot of things." Ye Kong said again.
"Mother of the Earth, I know that she was just born when I saw her. Just like God, Mother Earth has a gentle, delicious, and lazy temperament. God, on the other hand, has a strong temperament and thinks he is superior, which will also bring him death.
disaster."
"If nothing else happens, God will die at your hands." After the turtle finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Ye Kong.
"Do you want to avenge him?" Ye Kong asked.
The turtle shook his head and chuckled: "I don't have much to do with him. I just tried to persuade him once when we met back then."
"How much do you know about the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Dharma?" Ye Kong continued to ask.
"Didn't Mother Earth tell you?" the turtle asked in return.
"What she said is ambiguous." Ye Kong shook his head.
Hearing this, the turtle picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"Hong, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, was also a figure at the beginning of the world. He was in the same era as Fa and them."
"The ancient forbidden land you want to ask about was actually established by Hong." The turtle continued.
After listening to the divine turtle's words, Ye Kong finally understood the name of the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Hong!
A name that Mother Earth has never mentioned.
"He established the Ancient Forbidden Land and imprisoned the sacred beasts and ferocious beasts here to restrict you?" Ye Kong continued to ask.
The turtle shook his head and chuckled: "It's not that he imprisoned us, but that we took the initiative to guard his tomb!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Kong was shocked.
He thought wrong.
He had previously guessed that this ancient forbidden land was established by the Lord of Heaven and Earth to restrict divine and vicious beasts to prevent them from going out to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, he was not forced to be imprisoned, but the sacred beasts and vicious beasts took the initiative to guard his tomb.
Ye Kong never expected that the huge ancient forbidden land would actually be a tomb!
Moreover, Hong, the Lord of Heaven and Earth, was buried!
This is too incredible!
If the Turtles didn't say it, who would have thought of it?
"There is nothing surprising. Even the transcendent master of heaven and earth will inevitably die."
"Although I was born when the heaven and earth first opened, there will be a day when I will perish."
"Nothing in the world exists eternally," the turtle continued.
"Although the divine turtle has a long life, it still has its time." Ye Kong said.
The turtle nodded, that's it.
"Can't you ascend?" Ye Kong looked at the turtle and asked.
"It is possible to ascend, but after ascending, they will leave the world of immortality. They don't want to leave, and they can't leave." The turtle continued.
"Why?" Ye Kong asked puzzled.
The turtle drank a cup of tea and did not answer.
Ye Kong calmed down, thinking of the four forbidden places in the world of immortality, and couldn't help but ask: "Are the most powerful people from the ancient era buried in the four forbidden places in the world of immortality?"
The Divine Turtle put down the tea cup and explained: "The Buddha is buried in the Whirlpool Pure Land, the Demon Emperor Qing is buried in the Demon Yuan Forbidden Land, and the Forbidden Sea..."
The Divine Turtle paused for a moment when he mentioned the forbidden sea, and then said: "Bury the Dharma."
"There is no Buddhism in the world of immortality today." Ye Kong couldn't help but say.
The Whispering Pure Land is the largest of the four forbidden lands, occupying a western continent.
The land in Yizhou is a forbidden area, it is difficult to enter, and no one knows what is going on inside.
"Well, Buddhism has been destroyed, and the Pure Land of the past was full of Buddhas." The turtle nodded and said.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Kong couldn't help but think deeply.
Something big must have happened in the ancient era.
As a result, the Dharma was sealed in the land of silence, the Demon Emperor, the Lord of Heaven and Earth fell, and even the huge Buddhist sect was destroyed.
What is the concept of Buddhas everywhere?
All the people in a continent are Buddhas of Buddhism, so they must be very powerful!
But such a powerful Buddhist sect has been destroyed, who can do it?
Ye Kong was full of doubts, but he looked at the turtle. The turtle didn't want to say more, and he couldn't force him.
Forget it, let’s ask Earth Mother later.
Ye Kong planned to go back and ask the Earth Mother. After all, the Earth Mother was also from the ancient era.
"Ye Kong, I want to ask you something." The turtle suddenly looked at Ye Kong and said.
"Say." Ye Kong nodded.
"You can come to the ancient forbidden land in the future and eat some meat. Don't take their lives. They will be of great use in the future." The turtle looked at Ye Kong and said.
"Then you tell me what happened in the ancient era, and I will agree to your request." Ye Kong looked at the turtle and said.
"Ancient Era..." The turtle sighed.
"It was the best of times and the worst of times. Countless ancestors sacrificed their blood and lives in exchange for hundreds of thousands of years of peace in the world of immortality."
"I can't tell you what happened, as it would reveal the secret." The turtle lowered his head and said.
Although the turtles live a long time, their strength is average.
It can't beat Ye Kong, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
"Can't you say anything?" Ye Kong asked again.
"No." The turtle shook his head.
Seeing the turtle's state and tone, Ye Kong knew that it was useless to push him.
"Okay, I agree to your request. Eating meat will not hurt your life in the future." Ye Kong said.
The turtle bowed his head in thanks, hesitating that he could not bend down with the turtle shell on his back.
Ye Kong turned the tea cup over in his hand and couldn't help but think about ancient things in his mind.
"I heard that Earth Mother said that Fa wanted to destroy the world, so he was imprisoned by Hong. Is that true?" Ye Kong asked instead.
"Yeah." The turtle nodded and said, "Mother Earth should have told you that the experience of Dharma is the destruction of the world."
"But she didn't finish saying that the idea of Dharma is to create another life after the world is destroyed."
"What Mother Earth told you should be the best era in the ancient era." the turtle continued.
"The worst era is..." Ye Kong couldn't help but wonder.
"As the Dharma is sealed, the worst times have come." The Turtle explained.
"Because the worst times were caused by the law, Hong sealed the law in a quiet place, burned it with eternal fire, and struck it with thunder from the sky."
Ye Kong looked at the old ghost, what he wanted to know was what happened in the worst era?
Those who are as powerful as the Lord of Heaven and Earth will all perish!
But the turtle refused to say anything, which made Ye Kong suddenly want to eat turtle soup.
After the turtle finished drinking its tea, it lay down on the Taishi chair to rest.
This tea is a soothing tea. Only one turtle can stay awake by drinking tea.
Otherwise, you will fall asleep.
It has reached its end, but it just keeps holding its breath and does not dissipate.
It needs rest to keep itself alive.
If Ye Kong hadn't arrived, it wouldn't have appeared.
Ye Kong looked at the sleeping turtle, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, his eyes always full of doubts.
