Chapter 519 The Secret of the Spiritual Mirror
Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan were both shocked when they heard Lin Wangshu's voice.
They followed the sound and saw a figure in the white mist of Lingxu ahead slowly moving through the mist. It was Lin Wangshu.
No one knows when or how he came into this pit.
It’s just that his expression was clearly a little desolate and tired.
"You two, I heard what you just said."
Lin Wangshu said softly: "If there is no danger in picking these nine-section bellflowers, it can save the lives of the disciples of Wandu Mountain, and can resist I don't have any objections to the evil spirit in southern Xinjiang. You can take it for yourself at any time."
"But..."
He sighed slightly: "If you take it off, this will happen. A huge volcano will probably erupt in the blink of an eye."
"Volcano?" Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan looked at each other with slightly confused expressions.
"Not bad."
Lin Wangshu came to the two of them with his hands behind his back and asked, "Two of you, have you ever smelled the pungent smell in this deep pit?"
Hua Wu Ying's face changed: "Sulfur?"
They had descended into the pit before, and as they went deeper and deeper, they could clearly smell a smell like rotten eggs. At this time, he said Then he reacted.
“Not bad.”
Lin Wangshu said quietly: "This place is originally a huge volcano, and where we are standing right now is in the crater of the volcano."
"It erupted once many years ago , that time... the hot fire slurry that spewed out destroyed countless living beings, and the black ash that covered the sky and the earth covered a hundred miles in radius and did not dissipate for several years, and countless people died as a result."
"The fire slurry met the hydrated rock, and gradually piled up into stone mountains in the Mirror Lake. Only then did the Black Mountain Islands you see now appear."
"The thing that ended all this was to plant this The Immortal of Immortal Grass."
He crouched down and caressed the nine-section bellgrass with his fingertips: "According to the records of my Spiritual Mirror Sect, that Immortal is someone from ancient times. The powerful man who was passing by probably used the fairy grass to suppress the volcano because he couldn't bear it. It was only later that the ancestors of the Lin family discovered that the spiritual deficiency in this place was rich, so they stayed and discovered that the source of the spiritual deficiency was this fairy grass."
"At first, my ancestors of the Lin family wanted to take the bellflower to refine the magic elixir, but the moment the bellflower was removed, the volcano became restless and the earth shook. The ancestors were frightened, so they planted the fairy grass again. "
"After that, my ancestor visited the surrounding areas and learned about the terrifying scene during the previous volcanic eruption. Only then did he realize that he had almost caused a catastrophe. In addition, the Black Mountain Islands was extremely spiritually rich, so he decided to stay here to build a mountain. Zong, firstly, it can be cultivated with the help of Lingxu, and secondly, it can also guard the volcano to prevent it from causing the destruction of life again."
"It is probably because of this fairy grass that all the vegetation growing on the Black Mountain Islands is actually the same. All are black..."
Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan listened, their faces obviously a little heavy.
“Then why do you use corpses to feed fairy grass?”
Hua Xiaolan asked in a low voice: "How are these behaviors different from evil spirits?"
"Miss Xiaolan, you are right."
Lin Wangshu sighed: "This Their behavior is indeed no different from that of evil spirits..."
He stood up, shook his head and said: "But no matter how powerful this nine-section bellgrass is, it is just a grass after all. It brings spirituality to the entire archipelago. It has supported countless living beings and needs to suppress the volcano. Where does its power come from? "
"Do you remember what I just said? The ancestors took it off and the volcano almost came back to life. , so the ancestors planted it again - but this also caused the volcano to be restless in those days. ”
"Furthermore, after each restlessness, the Nine-sectioned Bellflower will appear languid, and the spirit of the entire archipelago will become a little weaker." "At that time, the ancestors had guesses... If nothing was done, maybe it would be over. It won't be long before the bellflowers will die completely, and the volcano will erupt again."
"He has made many attempts to fertilize the soil, panacea, and even rare minerals and magic weapons. The magical weapons were all useless against the fairy grass. "
"Until one day, the ancestors sprinkled a handful of chicken blood next to the fairy grass, and the fairy grass regained some of its luster in an instant. "
"The ancestors were so happy that they slaughtered many cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks and fed them with the blood and meat of the livestock. The grass jelly was indeed revived, and the frequency of volcanic disturbances was much lower than before, but..."
Lin Wangshu sighed helplessly: "This is still not a long-term solution."
In the complicated eyes of Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan, he slowly said: "Probably because after the volcanic eruption, this place The water source, soil, and even the surrounding atmosphere are polluted, making it extremely difficult for living creatures to survive here. Therefore, the growth of those plant and tree creatures is also greatly consuming the life of the fairy grass."
"It does not know how to survive on its own. Choose whether to offer it to others, it just exudes spiritual weakness all the time... As more and more vegetation grows on the Black Mountain Islands, and as my ancestors of the Lin family established their clan here, the fairy grass began to wither again. ”
The next story is very simple.
The Lin family used many methods to try to restore the vitality of the jelly grass again. They slaughtered more livestock and offered more flesh and blood, but they seemed to be tired of eating the jelly grass, with little effect. The less effective it is.
The turning point of all this appeared in the ancestor's last words.
He spent most of his life trying to solve the trouble caused by the fairy grass, but never got a good result. Therefore, he decided that sooner or later the fairy grass would completely die and the volcano would eventually die. break out.
Therefore, before he died, he left a last word for his descendants. If one day he sees that the fairy grass is about to wither, he must move the Spirit Mirror Gate and inform the people around him in advance. Let them flee for their lives.
And his last wish was to bury himself next to the fairy grass...
"The ancestor's last words were that he had taken care of the nine-section bellgrass for decades, and he would also be buried after his death. Here, maybe this fairy grass also has spirituality and will live a little longer for his sake.”
A wry smile appeared on Lin Wangshu's face, which usually did not express much emotion: "I never thought that this fairy grass... really brings face to the ancestors."
The first body of the ancestor of the Lin family was buried. Being buried in a corpse that looked like fairy grass was the turning point of everything.
The moment he saw the corpse, the grass jelly sprouted countless roots, wrapped it up, and then sucked it into a mummy.
And the fairy grass that was already withered became full of life again in an instant!
“That’s what happens after that.”
Lin Wangshu sighed: "At that time, the Lingjing Sect accepted many disciples. Although the sect was not large, there were still several hundred people. Once someone died of illness, war, or other reasons, they would be buried. In this deep pit, they provide nutrients for the fairy grass."
"Then some of their descendants are unable to practice... The Lin family convinced them and allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment for the rest of their lives, but they only need to die. , they all have to be buried in this deep pit."
"And as this fairy grass absorbs more and more corpses, it gradually grows a hand... I don't know, if it happens again. After hundreds and thousands of years, will it give birth to a human form?"
Hua Wuying listened and sighed deeply.
After being silent for a while, Hua Xiaolan asked solemnly: "If this is really the case, why do you have to trap outsiders here?"
"Haha..."
Lin Wangshu smiled helplessly: "Because, it won't be long before the Spirit Mirror Sect may die... I just want to keep more people here, let them settle down and start a family, and then Let them develop the habit of being buried in this crater after death to prevent the volcano from erupting again."
Hearing this, Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan were both shocked: "Lingjing Sect is going to die? ! ”
