Chapter 788 The Fire of Humanity, Fire Cloud Cave
"Is this Hu Fang's ancestral hall?" Ao Bing's figure slowly appeared under the tiger head statue - after fighting here, it was Become safe.
Because this is where the ancestral temple of Hufang Kingdom is located, and it is a forbidden place for those soldiers.
In the ancestral hall, there are old men stationed to keep the incense here alive.
“The demon god will not die, and the demon spirit will never dissipate.”
"You, Hu Fang, have set up your ancestral temple here. Are you really not afraid that this lingering evil spirit will follow the connection of the ancestral temple, penetrate into your blood and soul, and turn you all into demon spirits?"
"Everything about monsters is If you do it, what difference does it make if the monster remains the same?" The old man refilled the incense burner and cut the incense candles that were a bit too hot, and then turned to look at Ao Bing - his facial features were striking. has been eliminated.
Ao Bing's eyes moved away from this man and fell on the tablet in the ancestral hall.
Since the third generation of monarchs of Hufang Kingdom, the lifespan of each generation of monarchs has been quite long - and the lifespan of each generation of monarchs has been the same, with no difference.
Obviously, from that time on, the king of Hufang Kingdom had begun to come into contact with the method of longevity.
"It seems that you know what they did."
"I have been here for more than 1,200 years, so of course I know."
"Then you should also know why I am here. ." Ao Bing's eyes fell on the place surrounded by incense.
In his perception, the space here felt distorted - this is where the portal to the cave is.
“Are you willing to open the door to this cave for me, or are you going to stop me?”
This old man guarding the ancestral hall is also a Taiyi. Although Taiyi is difficult, given the size of the human race and the power of a prince in the world, it is impossible to create a Taiyi with huge resources. , it’s not impossible.
In the final analysis, the resources required to pile up a qualified person into Taiyi are countless times less than the resources needed to extend the life of these princes.
"Mingjun, please." The faceless man in front of Ao Bing bowed slightly, and the scent of incense lingering in him turned into a large formation in an instant, covering the ancestral hall together with Ao Bing. , locked in it.
Countless incense, under the wonderful ritual, turned into something like insects, trying to swallow up Ao Bing's spirit, mana and blood. .
And at the end of all these insects, there is an incomprehensible and vast power hidden in the dark.
It was the old man who guarded the ancestral hall. He didn't know what kind of mentality he had, and he burned the power inspired by his own origin with a self-destructive thought.
It is a power born from humanity, from the seven emotions and six desires of living beings, from the hope and despair of living beings.
In Ao Bing's generation, this power was controlled by Yuanshi Tianzun, and then turned into the foundation of the immortal way, becoming the bridge between the human way and the immortal way, connecting people, immortals, gods, ghosts, etc. All living things are connected together.
In this generation, it is obvious that this kind of power is controlled by the human race alone.
"Is it a fairy?" Ao Bing's mind wavered slightly.
At this moment, Ao Bing felt extremely emotional about the continuity of Pantian.
Even in the rotation of generations, the atmosphere of this world and the power system of this world are different from Ao Bing's generation.
But no matter how it changes, the fundamental nature of power remains unchanged.
While aware of this power, Ao Bing instinctively triggered another change in this power.
That is, the changes in one of the five immortal ways, the immortal way.
The essence of the immortal way is the power born from the human heart.
This kind of power is huge and terrifying, but it is completely different from the 'qi' of immortality.
The Qi of the Immortal Way needs to be tempered over time.
The power of Shinto only requires ‘name’.
As long as countless mortals believe that you have such power, you can really have such power - immortals and gods appear between heaven and earth and create legends, and the power of this legend is this immortal It is a manifestation of the essence of Tao. At the same time, it is also a manifestation of the combination of the immortal Tao with the heavenly Tao and the earthly immortal Tao.
From this aspect, the power of the Immortal Way can be said to be the most accessible power system with the lowest threshold between heaven and earth.
Even those monsters, as long as they get enough 'name' in the human world, they can use it to get involved in the power of the immortal way.
But similarly, the power of the Immortal Path is also one of the most dangerous forces among the Five Immortal Paths.
——Other powers belong to the realm of essence, energy, and spirit. The power of the immortal path alone is the power of the human heart.
Facing people's hearts is always a dangerous move.
Therefore, among the five immortal ways, the power of the divine way is the most dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will be affected by this power. You will first become a vassal of humanity, and finally, in the struggle to escape from humanity, you will completely fall into the abyss.
In addition, the Immortal Way has another weakness - that is, the pure Immortal Way cannot live forever.
Among the five immortal ways, the human immortal way and the divine immortal way are both paths that do not seek immortality.
The lifespan of the Human Immortal Path is the shortest, no different from that of mortals, while the lifespan of the Immortal Path is only a few thousand - ordinary immortals can live forever if they achieve Taiyi, except for the immortals.
Therefore, in Ao Bing's generation, all practitioners of the Immortal Way were supplemented by the Immortal Way, and they opened another incarnation of the Immortal in addition to themselves.
The reason why the power of the Immortal Way is so dangerous, but can be used calmly, is that the essence of the power of the Immortal Way is bound by something.
The thing that binds the immortal way is ‘morality’.
The morality of Taiqing Daodetianzun.
The so-called morality, benevolence, justice, propriety, trust, wisdom, etc.
It is all the beautiful qualities in heaven and earth.
Beings between heaven and earth, no matter what your origin is, as long as you have these "morals" in you, you will have the opportunity to touch the essence of the power of the immortal way and step into the immortal way.
According to Ao Bing’s knowledge, since Yuanshi Tianzun opened up the Immortal Way, there have been more than one demon gods from Nanfangbu Prefecture who have set foot on the human world as the Immortal Way and have been recognized by humanity.
And morality is not lacking in Ao Bing!
He is a celestial dragon, a dragon that bears the sky, a dragon that carries faith.
Faith and righteousness are the foundation of the continuity between heaven and earth, and the foundation of morality - etiquette may change, wisdom may change, but no matter how heaven and earth change, faith and righteousness will not change.
So, when Ao Bing touched the most fundamental power, which in the current era is unique to humanity, it also resonated with Ao Bing - between the resonances, the person in front of him An old man who controlled power, his past also appeared in front of Ao Bing.
According to common sense, like this old man who can activate the power of the root of humanity, his views on good and evil, and his moral outlook, are definitely consistent with humanity, and the actions of the princes on the tiger side, It can be called a rebellion against human nature. No matter what, this person should not join the ranks of the tiger princes, let alone stop Ao Bing's footsteps.
But he happened to appear here, turning a blind eye to what the princes from the tiger side were doing.
Now, they want to stop Ao Bing, and they want to take action against Ao Bing with this decisive attitude. Now, when Ao Bing triggered the changes in the immortal way, this reason appeared in the old man's experience and appeared in front of Ao Bing's eyes.
That was many years ago.
At that time, the old man still had a name. He was injured in a fight with the enemy, and his life was saved by the princes of Hufang Kingdom.
In order to repay the favor of saving his life, he was invited by the princes of Hufang to guard the ancestral hall for Hufang and the passage leading to the cave to prevent outsiders from entering.
The prince from Hu Fang who was killed by Ao Bing this time was the one who saved this Taoist in the first place.
After learning what the princes from the tiger side had done, this Taoist also struggled with what he should do - in the end, he decided to give up right and wrong, good and evil, in order to fulfill this kindness.
So, I blinded my eyes, cut off my ears and nose, and turned a blind eye to everything in the room. I only endured the torment in my heart, guarded the ancestral hall of Hufang Kingdom, and suppressed the monster in the statue. gas.
Until this time, the princes of Hufang Kingdom died.
This period of bad fate caused by kindness has finally come to an end.
The formation that sealed the ancestral hall, the burning soul, and the ultimate power of humanity that was aroused were the way this person chose to end everything.
Ending himself, ending Ao Bing, and also ending the 'past' of the King of Hu Fang, completely hiding the things that should not be known to others in time.
If it were another person, his goal would have been achieved.
But at this moment, he was facing Ao Bing.
“There is nothing wrong with kindness.”
“It is not wrong if you want to repay kindness.”
"So, go ahead." Ao Bing stretched out his hand.
The extremely explosive human nature, which was completely contrary to the power of immortality, became docile under Ao Bing's fingers.
The flame that burned everything slowly separated.
In the flames, the traces of the man disappeared.
In the ancestral hall, on the many tablets, a name also turned into a blank together with the Taoist.
Then, the portal to the cave sky slowly opened.
Looking at the slowly opening door, Ao Bing was not in a hurry, but gently blew on the unburned flame, and the flame spread into the cave sky.
At this time, in another unknown place in the world, an old man sitting in front of the campfire slowly opened his eyes.
The flame in front of him suddenly jumped. Between the flames, a hand appeared faintly, stirring the flame, as if to divide the flame into other things.
Under the flames, countless ashes were attracted by the changing fire, rising into the sky like a tornado.
The intensity of the flames became a bit darker due to the extension of the ashes - similarly, when the flames jumped, the shadows cast around them were also weakened a bit.
"Is it time for the world to change again?" The old man looked at the dancing flames in front of him in a daze. After a moment, he gently knocked on a round stone next to the bonfire to send out a signal.
After a while, the people who were sleeping here opened their eyes one by one and came to sit together in front of the bonfire.
When these people appeared, the blocked firelight immediately cast more shadows.
"Suizu." The first person to appear saluted the old man.
"Someone has caused changes in the roots of humanity."
"Is it time for humanity to change again?" Another person's eyes fell on the flame, and then he spilled the gossip and began to deduce.
While he was deducing, the other person looked at the flames with a little more confusion.
"Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Looking at this man's eyes, the man called Suizu who gathered everyone together asked.
This place, between heaven and earth, is called Fire Cloud Cave.
It is the most secret and mysterious place between heaven and earth.
Since the manifestation of the human race, the saint ancestors, saint emperors, etc. of the human race have all ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave and enjoyed eternal life and happiness in the Fire Cloud Cave.
However, because these Holy Emperors have never manifested again between heaven and earth after their ascension, there is also a saying in heaven and earth that this Fire Cloud Cave is a building for these Holy Emperors and Saints. Prisoners of our ancestors.
Whenever the power of the human race approaches a peak, in order to avoid the imbalance of heaven and earth, these Holy Emperors and Saint Ancestors who brought the human race to the peak have to choose to put down their authority and 'ascend' to the Fire Cloud Cave.
Beside the bonfire, the man guarding the flame is the Suiren clan, the first ancestor of humanity.
The ancestor who lit the fire for the human race.
The inheritance of human civilization began from this.
The one who is looking at the flames in confusion is the Jiang family, also known as the Shennong family, one of the humane saint emperors of the human race.
"I just feel that the power that stirs up the changes in the fire of humanity is vaguely related to me." Shennong said doubtfully, and then looked at the person who was making calculations.
That is Fuxi.
"That's weird!" Under Shennong's gaze, all the gossip that Fuxi spilled fell into pieces.
When the broken Bagua fell into the flames, the burning flames had to undergo changes in yin and yang, from the fire phase to the water phase.
"The Yin Shang Dynasty is at its peak now. Where did this phenomenon of the Humanity Cauldron Revolution come from?"
Since the birth of the human race, the Humanity Cauldron Revolution has actually happened. three times.
The first time was the dispute between the Shennong clan and the Xuanyuan clan and Chi You.
The second time, Emperor Yu's son Qi established the Xia family's humane dynasty and changed the public world to the family world.
The third time, Jie of the Xia family was despised by all the people and was replaced by Chengtang, and the Xia Dynasty was completely destroyed.
But judging from the current situation, the Yin-Shang Dynasty has both military strength and popular support, and its rule over the human world is extremely stable. Under such circumstances, the situation of this humanistic revolution, But how does it manifest?
Furthermore, according to Fuxi's calculation, the situation of the Humanity Cauldron has implicated them all in the Fire Cloud Cave, so that he is completely unable to act in a detached manner. Calculate the follow-up of this evolution.
“Is it related to ginger?”
"I'll do the math again." Fuxi casually picked a flower from the flame.
