Chapter 196 195. The Stone Rabbit is Living (4.2k)
At dawn, the golden shimmer on the surface of the lake and sea can be seen from the island in the center of the lake.
After the fish belly turned white, purple clouds rolled over the line connecting the sky and the earth, and the light reflected the stretching mountains below in black.
Like an ink painting.
Myolie Chu stretched herself and sat on the branch of her body, bored.
She could only sway her legs there and watch the geese walk out of the nest and form a long line and pass in front of her. Flapping their wings and raising their heads, the bullies who had just woken up were very confident. They had temporarily forgotten the cruelty and terror of the ginkgo tree and returned to their original ways.
If it were before, Myolie Chu would have jumped down and beat these things without eyes.
But now she has no such intention.
The red lucky bag in her hand was very festive, and the pattern embroidered on it happened to be the character "囍". It looked like the kind of objects prepared at the weddings of wealthy people in ancient times. Myolie Chu knew that ordinary people would probably think this way, and most likely wouldn't see any clues. Even the vast majority of rising creatures in the world were like this, there was no difference.
But Myolie Chu shuddered.
This thing is very evil.
There was an astonishing aura of death on this lucky bag. It was not an ordinary death. The moment she touched this lucky bag, Myolie Chu felt a cold wind, as if blowing from Jiuyou, blowing straight to her side.
This is the smell of "ghost".
All things have a "spirit". All things that die will become part of the heaven and earth again, and the "spirits" of all things will return to the earth to give birth to other lives. This is the principle of the cycle of the world and the essence of the existence of a world, which is often referred to as "reincarnation".
There was no reincarnation in Kyushu in the past.
That is to say, in this world, the history of human development in this era is not accompanied by cycles, and only relies on the instinct of this world to maintain operation.
The red dragon knew this, and so did Xing'er Chu. The only one who also knew was the old monk who passed away in the temple.
There may be living beings who understand this, but she has never seen it, and there are only one or two living beings who clearly understand reincarnation in her memory. Ghosts are not resentful spirits that have not returned to the earth. They can be understood as strange existences to a certain extent. The real "ghost" is far from being comparable to the resentful spirits. This kind of existence is born to run parallel to the nine ghosts, wandering in reincarnation. .
According to what Old Kyushu and those ancient monks said.
These are the first five categories among the ten categories of the week. A complete ghost should be no weaker than a Buddha.
But the reincarnation of Kyushu has been completed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has risen again, and the ancient land has regained its great appearance. Where did this existence come from? Myolie Chu was puzzled.
Every world has its own balance.
And, what does it mean?
Take this lucky bag to the Taihang Mountains through the fox. Myolie Chu turned the blessing bag upside down, but there was nothing unusual except for the aura from Jiuyou, not even a letter that she understood.
"Trouble..." the girl pouted.
She thought of a possibility.
Maybe this signal was not for the Taihang Red Dragon, but for her.
Although she has always been a dabbler, she is still a Buddha's hand.
If there really is a ghost, she should be a thorn in the opponent's side. If there is a chance, he will uproot her and burn her.
The scene of her crying for help in the sea of fire appeared in Myolie Chu’s mind.
"Oh - it's really scary!"
…………
In the vast and boundless hall, two shadows run side by side.
Their figures were too small compared to the palace, like ants entering the hall.
But one of the shadows walked in a strange way.
It is not only moving forward, but also circling around another shadow, jumping and jumping.
"So, you only have a rough idea?" Li Xi'an looked at the animated stone rabbits that were circling around him.
"Otherwise?" Shi Tu Huo Ling heard Li Xi'an's tone and was dissatisfied.
"I am a living being who lives deep in the Taihang Palace. My body died millions of years ago. What I tell you about what I saw and heard is just what I saw as the center of the Taihang Palace. From those who entered the Taihang Palace A few words from the mouths of living beings."
"During the period when Taihang Palace was sleeping, I was also sleeping. How could I possibly see with my own eyes what happened in the end?"
The stone rabbit hugged its chest animatedly, its rabbit ears swaying from side to side as it moved.
"Is that so..." Li Xi'an pondered.
In the past, during the short period of time when Taihang Palace was open, understanding and knowledge of the outside world were searched from the minds of those who entered Taihang Palace.
It is as if the creatures who step into the Taihang Palace are used as some kind of medium through which to observe the external situation.
It can be said that it is a building that records the hidden era.
It is a rather general guess that Taihang Palace was built in the Hidden Age. It was impossible to determine at what point in time it appeared before. But from Shitu's vivid words, he learned that the construction time of Taihang Palace was extremely early for the entire hidden era they called it.
Therefore, Shitu Huiling has no way of knowing what happened to the outside world later.
But one thing is certain, this is exactly what the owner of Taihang Palace was doing.
Paving the way for future generations.
The owner of the Taihang Palace made a certain agreement with the Taihang Palace to depict the palace complex based on the Taihang Mountains, in order to carry the message he wanted to pass on to future generations. Then, the owner of Taihang Palace disappeared.
Shitu knew alive that he had gone to the depths of the sea of stars.
Then, it knew that the owner of Taihang Palace was dead.
The central hub of Taihang Palace fell into its hands, and the connection and perception disappeared.
As well as some things that those creatures who broke into Taihang Palace knew, they just passed the situation of the outside world intact to Shitu Huiling, and Shitu Huiling was the key to deducing what was happening in the outside world. Because it carries a lot of knowledge of the Lord of Taihang Palace, those scenes and pictures that no living being cares about are clues to the truth.
This living spirit told Li Xi'an.
In the Hidden Age, Taihang Palace experienced dormancy and resurrection three times in total.
For the first time, a king appeared in the world. He conquered all directions and ruled the land in the center. It seems that such a person has never appeared before. Shitu learned that the man called his name "Emperor". The Lord of Ninety-Five. Everyone knows that he later set foot on the East China Sea in search of the legendary ancient mountain, which took him thousands of years. The creature that broke into Taihang Palace said that the emperor must be dead.
The second time, the creature it saw said that ghosts and gods were rampant in the world and she had to control it. Dynasties changed, and the dynasty of the First Emperor was overthrown. In the memory of the second intruder, the person who overthrew that dynasty was the same guy who said the emperor was dead for the first time.
After the change of dynasty, resentment and monsters grew in the world and became extremely powerful and terrifying.
The dynasty that the second living spirit saw had a place named "Ancestral Temple". It's very mysterious, but the intruding creature is a shaman who happens to be in the Ancestral Temple. This made Shi Tu know a lot about Wu Zhu and Taimiao. All ghosts in the world can be attacked by witches. They are people who dedicate their bodies to God and are not afraid of the so-called ghosts and gods.
When Shi Tu vividly told this point, Li Xi'an rarely asked.
He asked the Taimiao witch Zhu if there was a cinnabar mole in the corner of his eye.
Shitu thought for a while and replied that he didn't, but that Wu Zhu still had the ghosts and gods she had surrendered on his body, and he was quite powerful, almost comparable to the Demon King of the Extreme Palace Realm.
Finally it was the third time.
He is a completely ordinary person, and he doesn't look like he could break into the Taihang Palace. At the same time, this man's dress was very strange, with short hair, and his clothes had slits on his arms to expose his arms, and he was carrying a bag. Shitu knew from this man's memory that the outside world was a forest of steel, and that the weapons used for fighting and war were no longer spiritual weapons. But guns, artillery, and inferior products that imitate the power of the sun.
At that time, Shitu knew that there was no spirit in the world.
At the same time it knows that civilization and all life in this world will be buried.
"Why?" Li Xi'an asked at that time. "Because that was the last opening of Taihang Palace in the hidden era, and then it was a long sleep that I cannot understand and feel, until now."
"Someone has laid out a plan. They have been waiting for baptism since that time, waiting for a certain opportunity to bury this entire era in the shadow of history. Not only is it no longer visible to you, but it is also to hide the things deeper inside. ." Shitu was determined.
Shitu was silent for a long time, and his tone changed when he spoke again.
"If even people in this world can't hide it, how can they hide the thing that destroyed Kyushu in the first place?"
"These are the original words left by the master of Taihang Palace when he left. He probably saw a corner of the future at that time, or..."
"He is also one of the organizers." Li Xi'an took this sentence, which made Shitu live a little surprised.
The miniature sun on the dome changes angle.
From the moment he stepped in, the sun moved to the edge of sight, and on the other side, there was another big star slowly moving into the huge "sky".
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said clearly?" Shitu was dissatisfied.
"That's all I know. Anyway, you listened and understood what you should understand. Is it time to go back?"
Shitu suddenly stopped walking.
Li Xi'an looked up and saw the door in front of him.
It turned out that before they knew it, they had reached the end of the hall. There are reliefs carved on the giant stone door. The ferocious beast's face has its eyes closed, and the cloud patterns extend outward, as if he is facing a giant beast from ancient times.
"Has the owner of Taihang Palace come back?"
Li Xi'an suddenly thought of the head at the bottom of the abyss.
Kukulkan is obviously not a creature that belongs to this land. He comes from a distant ocean. But now that Kukulkan can return to Kyushu, what about the owner of Taihang Palace? Did he also return to the Taihang Palace? This is the sculpture he built and he also has an agreement with the Taihang Mountains. Even if he dies, such a powerful creature should return to a part like Kukulkan.
"I said, I can't feel his presence. The key to Taihang Palace is now in my hands. He is dead. How can a dead creature return home?"
"Maybe it can." Li Xi'an said.
"If this is really possible, that's fine." Shitu sighed vividly.
"Push this door open and I can leave?"
"Yes."
"And this should be the last time you enter Taihang Palace." Shitu swung his long ears. "After you leave, Taihang Palace should fall asleep again."
"I understand." Li Xi'an nodded.
At this moment, the two big stars were connecting above the palace dome.
Another silver-white star will replace the blazing sun.
A ray of sunlight suddenly bloomed, and the extreme sharpness cut through the living body of the stone rabbit, splitting it in half from the middle. There was not even a roar of cutting, because it was too sharp and unimpeded.
"What are you doing!" The living stone rabbit that was cut in half was still talking.
The separated lips were moving, and it glared at Li Xi'an.
The blooming light came from the sword in Li Xi'an's hand. At this time, the sharp edge of the golden jade sword was pointed directly at the stone rabbit.
"You are offending the Taihang Palace!" The living body carved from jade fell to the ground, and then the light from the dome shone down, closing it up, leaving no trace of cutting and remaining intact.
After healing, the stone rabbit escaped alive and roared.
Li Xi'an lowered his eyes.
The luster of lava flows in the pupils of the eyes, outlining the shape of a lotus, slowly blooming.
He stood with his sword in hand, his sleeves flying.
"I'm not offending Taihang Palace." Li Xi'an said.
He raised his eyes, and his pair of gold-like eyes locked onto the stone rabbit who had stopped fleeing far away.
"You can fool yourself, but you can't fool me."
Raising his arms, curls of black smoke rose from the sword's edge, and then the black smoke dissipated in the sword's light and returned to nothingness.
Haechi is not the only living creature that has been eroded.
And the stone rabbit in front of me.
This palace is both a waiting station for those who come and a cage that seals off this fallen living being.
"You can't get out, right?"
"Hehehehe..." The living creature was smiling, its lips split in a strange arc. Its anger and fear in the face of Li Xi'an disappeared, and its posture became terrifying.
"How did you find out? To be fair, I'm much better than that idiot Haechi."
"There is a history of hidden eras buried in the Taihang Palace, and these secrets are not just narrated by a living person. And, just now, the desire in your eyes finally couldn't be hidden, and it overflowed a little. You yearned for this fan very much. Door?" Li Xi'an chuckled.
He stroked the huge stone door sideways.
"Let me guess, what's behind this door?"
"The Lord of Taihang Palace?"
"It seems I guessed it right." In the distance, Shitu's lively face looked ferocious and crazy.
It was trapped here for an extremely long time, and was shattered by this dragon at the last moment when it was about to succeed!
In the Taihang Palace, it is indeed the central hub, but the current operation of the Taihang Palace has nothing to do with it. The door to the trial ground is an animal face, and the living spirit wandering around and combing the palaces is Zou Wu. The Taihang Palace is too powerful and terrifying, or the original creature was unbelievable. He could even predict that the living beings in the center would be contaminated in the future, leaving behind the generals. The entire palace turned into a prison.
It can't go anywhere except this hall.
The two alternating stars have burned its soul over the long years.
It thought that as long as the creatures could pass through the trial field and reach this place, it would have a chance.
Because other living beings in Taihang Palace do not know the secret of its acceptance of shadows. As long as it opens that door, it can reach the other side of its dreams.
Just open that door!
The stone rabbit is alive and its eyes are about to split.
It stared intently at the figure in Xuanyi standing in front of the door.
"Just pretend you don't know what to do! In this way, you can return to your present world and I can get what I want. Isn't that good?"
"Look -" Shitu's lively voice was very soft.
"You must choose to die here."
The blazing stars alternate and turn into silver moons.
The entire hall suddenly became dark.
But something was lighting up and breathing in the dark and empty hall.
Dharma!
