Chapter three hundred and ninety-eight sacrifice spirit tree
The capital of the Fire Nation is very huge, covering a vast area, and has existed for a long time. From ancient times to the present, it has endured the baptism of time and has always stood firm.
"It's such a pity. I've been waiting here for many days, but I haven't seen an outstanding human being at all. Is the so-called Two-Stone War real? Otherwise, why is there not even one person close to them?"
Some people suspected that they came from outside the region and had been entering this giant city for a while, but they did not see a stunning young strong man.
"You can't say that. The princess of the Fire Country is very special. She seems to have the blood of Suzaku and is in the process of continuous transformation. I have seen her several times. Every time I see her, she is stronger than the last time. She is not a simple person.
character.
On the street, these people only stopped for a short time, got to know each other, talked for a while, and then left.
People come and go, and there is a constant flow of pedestrians. This majestic ancient city is very prosperous, with an unknown population of tens of thousands. It is bustling with people walking on the main street, and pedestrians rub shoulders.
Of course, the most surprising thing is that there are creatures of all races, some of which cannot be called races and have never been seen before.
Shi Hao saw several races with strange looks that he had never heard of before, but pedestrians on the road did not dare to point out or comment on them. Obviously, such creatures are very strong. For the people who have lived here for a long time, they know that disaster will come from their mouths.
Kind of thing.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, many of which are time-honored. There are many stores such as Danyao Pavilion and Bingbaozhai. There are many monks coming in and out, and the business is very good.
Shi Hao was very relaxed and wandering around. He had stayed in the mountains for more than a year. It could be said that it was very peaceful and even a little deserted. Now that he suddenly entered this world of mortals, he felt quite comfortable.
"When you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the world, entering a paradise is a kind of enjoyment. But after staying in a peaceful place for a long time, when you come to this bustling capital, you have a different kind of feeling."
Shi Hao muttered to himself, and was deeply touched in his heart. He was a little dazed for a moment. He thought of the two lives chosen by the ascetic monks who practiced in seclusion and the strange people who were free in the world of mortals. It was the same.
"What a big tree!" Shi Hao was surprised. When he came to the eastern area of the ancient city, he saw an ancient tree towering into the sky. It was really huge.
Its whole body is fiery red, with red clouds rising from it. Both its branches and leaves are red. Its crown is like a big umbrella holding up the sky. It stands in the city and looks very special.
What kind of tree is this? The main trunk is dozens of meters in diameter, and the bark is spread out one after another. It looks very ancient. The huge tree occupies a large area.
This tree is taller than a mountain. An ordinary city cannot accommodate it. Fortunately, the Fire Kingdom is vast enough to accommodate many giant mountains, so it is not affected by it.
"This is the Fire God Tree. It was also one of the Fire Kingdom's sacrifices back then." Someone was talking. Apparently Shi Hao was not the only one who was surprised. Many people who had just arrived in this city were like this.
This place has become a scenic spot, and everyone who comes to the Fire Nation must come here to see it, otherwise it will be a pity.
"This tree existed in ancient times and has been growing to this day. Unfortunately, the divine fire has been extinguished and the divine consciousness has dried up, and it no longer has great supernatural powers." Someone said.
This was once a sacred tree for worshiping spirits? After hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes brightened. This was so amazing that he stared at it carefully.
This tree is indeed huge and boundless. It is too old to look like. Logically speaking, after it has grown to this point, after a long time, even if the divine fire is extinguished, it can become a spirit again. It cannot be an ordinary tree.
But now it seems that it does not have sacred fluctuations or that kind of aura.
What these people say is true. It once became a god, but later the divine fire died out and turned into an ordinary tree.
Shi Hao was very interested and asked for advice to learn the details.
"In the ancient times, saints competed for hegemony and gods and men fought. It was a glorious time, but it was also a chaotic world. Strong men emerged in large numbers, geniuses flourished, and it was during that era that several major ancient countries began to take shape..."
This tree and a Suzaku come from the same ancestral land of the Fire Nation. They are similar in strength. They are both enlightened gods, extremely powerful and superior to all living beings.
When the Fire Tribe was founded, it accompanied the Holy Emperor of the Fire Tribe on his expeditions in all directions and made great contributions. Unfortunately, in that era when heroes were competing for hegemony, it was robbed. The Divine Fire was destroyed and fell off the altar. Suzaku and the Holy Emperor were its old friends.
It took root in the capital of the Fire Tribe and kept it alive through great methods.
"Although it survived, its former will, divine fire, etc. have dissipated and it has become a mortal tree."
"The reason why I can live so long is because I waited for the nourishment of the Fountain of Youth, but I can no longer ignite the divine fire, or even develop the Taoism."
Many people are discussing and feeling quite sad that a god who witnessed the glory of ancient times finally ended up like this.
"Well, you only told one kind of rumor, not all of it. There is another legend, but not many people believe it." An old man came over and said.
"What other rumors are there?" Someone looked suspicious.
"It is said that this tree has not completely extinguished the divine fire, but is in nirvana." The old man said.
"What?!" Many people were almost stunned when they heard this. If this was in Nirvana, it would be so terrifying that it is simply unimaginable.
You must know that this has continued from ancient times to the present. If it is true, who else in this world can be the opponent of this tree? At the very least, there is no god in ancient times, and there is no opponent in this world.
"What do you think some of the great religions from outside the territory are doing when they enter the Fire Nation to seek cooperation with the royal family? I heard that I am a little wary of this legend.
"Impossible!" Many people didn't believe it.
"As long as the descendants of the founding fathers who live in the Fire Nation capital have heard such rumors, it's just that not many people care about it until now." The old man put his hands behind his back, shook his head and left.
"There are indeed such rumors, and I have heard some old people talking here before." Someone next to him said, and got more detailed information.
It is said that the whole country came together to offer sacrifices, and not only the sacrificial spirits but also the Fire Emperor were bathed in the sacred fire. Some of the divine power was also channeled into this place to nourish this ancient tree.
"Let's go to Tianque, have a cup of tea and eat something." Someone said, greeting his companions.
In the sky, there are many suspended palaces, all of which are very grand and very high from the ground, all surrounding this ancient tree.
"I somewhat believe it. What the old man said is not too outrageous. Because every time I go to the temple here, I always feel that it is good for enlightenment."
Listening to the discussion of these people, Shi Hao's heart moved. He looked up at those grand palaces with a strange look. He wanted to go up and take a look.
However, when he actually landed here, he was shocked. The prices were outrageous. Even if he wanted to have a cup of tea, it would bankrupt the average person.
Mortals cannot get up or fly into the sky. These are real jade towers built in the sky and protected by complex magic circles to prevent them from falling.
The temples exude a crystal luster and are surrounded by clouds and mist. One building after another, they really look like a vast divine palace.
Shi Hao walked up the jade steps and entered one of the most magnificent palaces. He paid a high price to get inside and saw how extraordinary it was.
Naturally, those who can come in and out are monks, and their status is not ordinary. Otherwise, the price would be too expensive, which would be prohibitive for ordinary practitioners.
In a sense, this place has become a gathering place for monks from the imperial capital of the Stone Kingdom. After arriving in this beautiful jade house, Shi Hao saw more extraterrestrial beings.
Soon, he felt that it was not a waste of money and it was worth it, because he got some important news after hearing their discussion.
"His Holiness is almost invisible now. The situation is precarious and the situation is a bit critical. Now he is hiding in hiding."
Such news made Shi Hao's brows jump. It was good news. If no one of that level jumped out, it wouldn't matter even if he showed his true identity.
"Holy things are not as good as grass. This is the news from the outside world through the great sect. It seems that the higher the level of cultivation, the greater the impact will be in this catastrophe. You and I should be fine."
"Well, it should be true. Even the venerable sects from outside the region have tried their best to retreat, but their young disciples have stayed. The day of change is not far away."
Shi Hao chose a position near the window, where he could see the huge ancient tree. He tried practicing here and found that it would be easier.
After Shi Hao settled down, he would climb up to the Qionglou Yuyu here every day, and then practice here, enlightening in the hustle and bustle of the mortal world. This was a different kind of experience.
In response to this, the big red bird sneered and fell asleep every day, reluctantly accompanying him.
"Eh, that's not right, it's so scary!" A few days later, he made an astonishing discovery. That was because when he took out the Suzaku True Feather obtained from the Holy Palace of the Fire Tribe, he realized an obscure ancient meaning of the Great Dao.
Without this true feather, he would not gain anything even if he tried to sense it with his heart. But holding the red treasure feather in his hand, he seemed to hear a huge heartbeat.
This ancient tree is extraordinary. It has achieved the charm of the great road and has a huge life force, but it is difficult for outsiders to detect it.
At this time, even several groups of creatures from outside the territory entered this Qiong Tower and talked about him, but Shi Hao ignored them and ignored them.
He hurriedly asked for a private room, and then stared at the giant tree with the double eyes left by the ancient god. However, he was disappointed and could not see through it.
Finally, when he held the Suzaku True Feather again, he experienced a change.
Shi Hao was surprised and saw some blurry scenes in the tree. Even double pupils were not enough. He actually needed the sacred objects of the Suzaku clan in order to make discoveries.
"A portal made of a pair of Suzaku wings!" Shi Hao was shocked in his heart. They were the Suzaku wings, which were inside the roots of the tree, flowing softly and radiantly.
In addition, behind the Suzaku Feather Wings Gate, there is a golden coffin, blocking a hole.
Shi Hao tried his best, his eyes hurt and almost bled, and finally he saw clearly that there was a man in the golden coffin, motionless.
He immediately trembled, his heart beating very violently.
This man was so extraordinary, his appearance was astonishing, and he was actually similar to a broken stone statue seen in the Holy Palace, the ancestral land of the Fire Tribe. Huo Ling'er once told him that it was the Holy Emperor of the Fire Tribe in ancient times!
There was a hole blocked by the golden coffin. What was inside? Shi Hao's heart trembled. He had never thought of discovering such a big secret.
