Chapter 409 That is the Yata Mirror of the three artifacts I control
Mount Fugaku has long been deeply integrated into the blood of this country,
It has become one of the most iconic classic symbols in the spiritual and cultural fields of the White and Red Empire.
For every person in the White and Red Empire, that mountain not only contains the endless charm carved by nature with the power of uncanny craftsmanship.
There is also an innate sense of solemnity that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Literary giants from the White and Red Empire regarded Mount Fugaku as an endless source of inspiration.
At the same time, it is also a holy place that people have worshiped devoutly from generation to generation.
Mount Fugaku is cone-shaped, rising from the depths of the earth, piercing the sky coldly and majestically.
On the top of the mountain, there is snow all year round. Whenever the sun penetrates the clouds, the snow shines with a dazzling silver light, like a dream.
Around the foothills, there are five freshwater lakes scattered in an orderly manner.
On the way back from the construction site to the top of Mount Fugaku,
The aura around Amaterasu's body was quietly undergoing transformation.
Originally in a depressed state due to heavy trauma,
Under the nourishment of the mysterious and unpredictable power of the three artifacts, which contain the original power of the universe,
It is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A delicate balance was gradually reached within her body.
Thanks to this hard-won balance,
Amaterasu's power gradually recovered, just as the clouds cleared and the sun appeared.
Although it is not as good as when it was at its peak in the past, it has returned to its peak level under normal conditions,
When the dazzling golden light pierced the sky and landed directly on the palace,
Everyone in the palace instantly knew that Amaterasu was back.
Everyone knelt on their knees in unison, heads lowered,
I offer my most sincere prayers to the supreme god in my heart with utmost piety.
Amaterasu has a graceful figure and graceful appearance.
Her chin was slightly raised, and the arrogant arc was like an insurmountable gap created by the rules of heaven and earth.
Completely distinguish her from these ordinary people,
She comes from another world of higher dimensions. In her eyes, these humble lives are just a drop in the ocean, too insignificant to be worth mentioning.
His eyes are full of pride and reserve as a god,
The god who stands high above, overlooking the ants,
He has an innate and bone-deep sense of superiority towards everything around him,
Everything in this world is her vassal, for her to drive.
Walking past those kneeling mortals,
She doesn't look sideways,
These mortals are not worthy of her eyes at all, and they are not worth wasting any more of her gaze.
Afterwards, Amaterasu led everyone straight to a high platform similar to a sacrificial altar at the back of the palace.
This high platform exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of atmosphere,
The dust of time has accumulated on it for thousands of years.
On the high platform, countless chains were tightly entangled like ferocious pythons that had broken free from the Nine Nether Hells and preyed on people.
These chains are forged from special materials that are rare in the world.
Under the dim light in the palace, it shone with a strange and mysterious luster.
At the end of the chain is a coffin.
The whole body of the coffin shows a simple and thick bronze color,
The whole place exudes a long and profound historical atmosphere.
But in this coffin, there was a faint breath that made people feel so depressed that their chest was blocked by a huge boulder and they couldn't breathe.
Obviously, this is anything but ordinary.
"Before, you said that gods cannot come directly due to the rules of this world. What do you mean?"
Chu He stared straight at the mysterious bronze coffin in front of him,
But in his heart, he was thinking about another more critical problem that troubled him.
The mystery behind this may be like the butterfly effect, gently flapping its wings,
It can trigger a storm that affects the direction of the entire situation, and even determines the life and death of everyone. One wrong step can lead to catastrophe.
Amaterasu raised his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and determination.
Now that the matter has come to this, continuing to cover up is just self-deception and meaningless.
After all, now she has firmly stood on the opposite side of many gods,
He became the target of public criticism and was surrounded by wolves.
Looking back on the past, she went through a lot of hardships and spent countless efforts to cultivate her godhead.
It’s not just to surrender and accept punishment at this time,
Then, in endless pain, he watched the years disappear like ruthless water, wiping away his last hope.
With Amaterasu's thoughts clear, he slowly said: "I think back then, those first group of guys who became gods couldn't wait to establish Tiangong after they became famous.
They were like a group of greedy thieves who plundered almost all the most luxurious and luxurious things in the world, and then brought them all to the Heavenly Palace.
Since then, they have been immersed in the endless beauty in the heavenly palace above the clouds, living happily and happily. ”
Speaking of this, Amaterasu's eyes flashed with compassion,
After a pause, he continued: "But what they did,
But it brought disaster to the human race that originally lived a happy life.
The world is full of oppression and pain, falling from heaven to hell.
Why do you think that is?
Just because all the extremely luxurious gadgets in the Heavenly Palace are consumables. Use a little and you will lose a little.
Sooner or later there will be a day of exhaustion.
What should they do when they are exhausted?
Humph, those gods won’t create it themselves,
After all, in their eyes, working with hands is a matter for lowly mortals.
So, this arduous task,
It naturally falls on the shoulders of mortals who are still left in the world. ”
"As time goes by, the gods in the heavenly palace become more greedy and spendthrift.
Their desires are bottomless and they can never be satisfied.
In order to maintain their luxurious life, the human race had to work hard, day and night, and were miserable.
And those gods worked even harder to stimulate the human race,
In fact, various so-called reward systems have been introduced to deceive people's minds with petty profits.
A god once said,
He said that as long as they break the backbone of these mortals, they will never be able to lift their heads,
Let servility be like a brand, deeply integrated into their blood,
The glory and wealth of the heavenly palace, the fine clothing and food, and the boundless joy will last forever and never fade away. ”
When Amaterasu said this, his tone was full of indignation, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously
She is also a victim now: "Fortunately, not everyone in the human race is willing to perish.
Those human gods who have justice and compassion in their hearts,
I really can't bear to see our compatriots suffering like this.
They resolutely want to leave the secret method of ascending to godhood in the world,
I hope more people can escape this tragic fate and have the power to resist.
But this move undoubtedly touched the back scale of the gods in the Heavenly Palace,
How could they allow mortals a chance to be their equals?
As a result, a large-scale and thrilling battle inevitably broke out. ”
Amaterasu can still feel the tragedy of that war: "It's a pity that there are only a few gods among the human race.
And those who can stick to their great character in the face of the temptation of power and interests are even rarer.
In that final moment that determines life and death,
A high-level human god made a tragic decision.
He did not hesitate to burn his godhead and used all his strength to seal the entire world.
That was a high-level god who stood at the pinnacle. The power he released by burning his godhead,
Even if other high-level gods in the Heavenly Palace join forces,
It was impossible to break it forcibly for a while, and could only slowly wear it away helplessly. ”
Amaterasu sighed, his eyes full of emotion about the past: "This is why top-notch humans like you can still survive in the world safely.
Today's rules of heaven and earth are the legacy of that war and seal. ”
These words of Amaterasu,
It was like a bomb that exploded and everyone couldn't recover for a long time.
Even a man as knowledgeable and experienced as Xu Fu could not help but be moved, his face full of shock.
He never thought that the secret behind it would be so complicated,
It's like a bottomless whirlpool, hiding endless darkness and secrets.
Those stories about gods and goddesses that have been praised and regarded as norms by human beings for generations,
Now, how much of it is true?
I'm afraid most of them are whitewashed and tampered with.
"Now I understand one thing."
Xu Fu seemed to wake up from a long dream, slowly came back to his senses, and said with emotion.
"Oh? What do you understand?" Chu He caught the strangeness in Xu Fu's words and asked.
Xu Fu fell into deep recollection of the long past, his eyes gradually became blurred, and his voice became softer and softer.
His expression was extremely complex, with nostalgia, sadness, and unwillingness
Various emotions are intertwined and unpredictable.
After a long time, he spoke softly: "Back then, I had not embarked on the journey to find the secret of immortality.
Always accompany His Majesty.
One day, the two of us looked up at the sky together, watching the changing winds and clouds and the strange celestial phenomena.
His Majesty suddenly seemed to be inspired and asked me an incomprehensible question.
I didn't understand those words at the time, and even today, I still can't answer them. ”
Xu Fu's eyes were full of confusion, as if he had returned to that distant afternoon, and His Majesty's face full of doubts was still clear,
But that question remains a mystery.
"Huh, what did you say? Can you stop being so pretentious!"
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Amaterasu, with a mocking look on his face, snorted coldly, "Do you still think that your Majesty is still alive in this world? If you have anything to say, say it quickly and don't wait here!"
Amaterasu's mood is complicated at the moment,
Xu Fu's hesitation made him more and more impatient, and his tone became sharper.
Xu Fu completely ignored Amaterasu's sarcastic and eager gaze,
He raised his head slightly, his eyes blurred, as if he had penetrated this space, looking towards the distant past, and spoke to himself, with a voice full of vicissitudes and sorrow: "Think about those days,
Your Majesty stands side by side with me in the open space,
The wind and clouds were turbulent above the head, as if the gods were gaming in the clouds.
Above the sky, lightning and thunder intertwined, the clouds were angry and the sea was violent, changing rapidly.
His Majesty's gaze is as deep as an abyss, as if he can see into the universe, penetrating through layers of thick clouds and looking into the endless depths of the sky.
At that moment, his expression showed the heroism of swallowing mountains and rivers, wanting to take the world into his arms, but also a hint of confusion about the unknown road ahead, being in a fog and not knowing the direction.
Then, he asked me softly: "If you want to compete with God, what will be the price?" ’
No matter how hard I searched and racked my brain, I couldn't find any clue.
Until today, I saw a glimmer of light in the darkness and gained some vague insights. ”
His Majesty's tall and straight but slightly lonely back was deeply imprinted in his heart, as clear as yesterday.
The sarcasm that Amaterasu was about to blurt out was choked in the back of his throat the moment he heard Xu Fu's words.
At this moment, I vaguely guessed what Qin Shihuang said back then, which was to ask the sky and express his ambition and pride,
It is also the profound meaning behind the words of deep emotion.
It is a kind of fearless courage that is unwilling to be manipulated by fate and dares to challenge destiny.
These few words are like a stone thrown into the lake of heart, causing ripples in the long river of time, lasting for a long time, making people feel uneasy.
"What on earth is that mirror?"
Xia Chengli's clear and melodious voice instantly broke the brief silence.
She stretched out her slender fingers as white as mutton-fat jade,
Pointing to a huge mirror suspended above the bronze coffin.
The mirror is like a bright moon traveling through eternity and space, coming from the ancient mysterious world,
It exudes a cool and mysterious brilliance.
Around the mirror, runes are lingering, shimmering with a strange and charming light,
These runes are intertwined with each other to outline a dream-like energy frame that contains the mysteries of the universe.
Above the mirror, powerful golden light surges, and golden waves plunge thousands of miles,
A steady stream pours down,
With a majestic and domineering momentum, it shines directly on the surface of the bronze coffin.
Bathed in this golden light, the surface of the bronze coffin bloomed with dazzling golden light, shining brightly.
However, what is chilling is that
This seemingly dazzling golden light is actually corrosive,
It is eating away bit by bit, eroding the surface of the bronze coffin,
A silent but thrilling contest is quietly taking place, and the outcome is unpredictable.
"That is the Yata Mirror, one of the three great artifacts under my control."
Amaterasu said.
The past,
The people of the White and Red Empire have an almost fanatical and extremely pious reverence for the mirror, and regard it as a sacred object that can protect peace.
They often hang small and exquisite mirrors on their chests
It is an amulet that can drive away all evil spirits in the world. No matter where you go, you will feel that you are protected by the gods and you can go smoothly and worry-free in the world.
Among them, the Yata Mirror has an extremely respected status.
As the royal spirit of Amaterasu, it is solemnly enshrined in Ise Shrine, the ancestor of the White and Red Empire Shrine,
It is the only sacred link connecting the divine realm with the human world, carrying the faith and hope of countless people.
In the folk culture of the White and Red Empire, mirrors have always occupied a very high position and remain erect.
People firmly believe that since mirrors can clearly reflect everything and people,
A true reproduction of various situations in the world must contain mysterious power and magic from the divine realm.
Therefore, many beliefs and legends have been derived around mirrors.
Some people firmly believe that mirrors can bring good luck and good health to the family, as well as good luck and blessings.
It can also be like a mirror of the soul, reflecting the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of people's hearts, leaving hypocrisy and ugliness nowhere to hide.
What's more, it is said that it possesses a magical power that can reveal the true colors of demons hiding in the dark.
Foresee the good and bad of life and death, hold the code of destiny, and control the cycle of life and death.
Because of this, once a mirror is accidentally broken, it is regarded as a bad omen.
People also agree that you cannot cross the mirror at will. It is a taboo gap.
Once you cross it, you will offend the gods and suffer bad luck.
On non-auspicious occasions, the mirror should be carefully covered for fear of disturbing the gods.
Tamamo Mae stood quietly aside,
A hint of enlightenment flashed through his narrow and charming eyes from time to time, and he understood many mysteries of the past.
She recalled that after Amaterasu disappeared mysteriously, she searched everywhere.
In order to find the three major artifacts of the White and Red Empire,
Traveling across thousands of mountains and rivers, visiting all the streets and alleys, she left her footprints on every inch of land.
But every time, she missed the artifact,
I can only capture some vague clues,
Like a dream bubble, it disappears.
Those marks gently scratched her heart, making her feel unbearably itchy, as if a hundred claws were scratching her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it.
She was full of doubts, why did these three artifacts disappear from the world, leaving only some traces, but their true bodies were never seen?
Until this moment, the answer suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that two of the three artifacts had been hidden in Amaterasu's body.
The remaining piece was purchased by Xu Fu from the Daxia Empire
Together, the seal was suppressed under that piece of land.
The power of the seal was far beyond her ability.
It is precisely because of this that during this long journey of exploration, she repeatedly hit the wall, her eyes were blinded, and she was never able to get to the core of the truth.
"Why hang the bronze mirror so high up that it shines directly on the coffin?"
Xia Chengli broke the casserole and asked another question.
Before Amaterasu could respond, Xu Fu frowned slightly and said, "This bronze coffin is also one of the treasures of His Majesty Qin Shihuang.
The imperial aura attached to it was so rich that it was almost viscous, and it was many times more powerful than what I had ever had before.
It is so majestic and vast that it can suppress the imperial energy of heaven and earth. Even Amaterasu, who has many magical means, can't force it to open it.
That's why he came up with this strategy, wanting to use the mysterious power of the Yata Mirror to slowly wear away this barrier. ”
