Chapter 204 203. Use water as a mirror to discern yourself
She stretched out her hand, and in that moment, it was like thousands of dreams shattered.
When Li Xi'an came to his senses, he returned to the original place again.
The center of the annual rings of the laurel tree.
The woman spread her hands, and dots of light fell on her palms, like a drizzle of light.
"I don't have much time."
"Is there anything else you want to know?" She looked at Li Xi'an.
"Filth."
"Where did the filth that polluted the Kyushu and degraded those who were unshakable in the past come from? I thought there would be no filth in your era, but after meeting Kukulkan, I found that I was wrong. If this didn't exist in your era If it’s something, the instinct of ‘not getting close to dirty things’ won’t appear.”
"Filthy..."
"Tell me, where do stars come from?"
"Where do the rules of the universe come from?" she asked softly, "What, is there an answer?"
"Don't treat it as a special thing. Its existence is a natural law. Just like the death of a person, it will decay first, and the birth and reproduction of life will inevitably lead to survival."
"You have their smell on you."
"I must have remembered those fallen creatures very faintly, but not without them. You must have been in contact with them. What did you see?"
"Darkness."
"The universe carries the darkness of the heavens."
She smiled.
"This is the answer you want."
"This world has never been black and white, and the same is true for the universe. The substances you now call dirty may be named sacred in other realms. They are just standing on the opposite side of you at the moment, and they are devouring the original The ancestors who deserved to die tried to use the Unshakable to destroy the new Kyushu, because according to their rules, this world should have fallen into darkness tens of millions of years ago and become the soil for their growth."
"So, the new students from Kyushu are not within the rules, are they violating the rules?"
"Of course."
"But what does it matter? This is our homeland, and nothing has the right to take it away from us!"
"The purpose of saying this is to let you clearly understand the journey ahead. When you saw Yue Gui's corpse, I thought you were confused."
"If you become a true one and transform into a dragon, this is an inevitable obstacle that needs to be overcome. The ancestors of Kyushu's past are filthy, and even some are deliberately targeting the ten categories of Zhou Tian. You cannot be confused at all, because this It’s fatal. If you can’t see yourself clearly, you will be lost. As the only creature that has come to me in these millions of years, I don’t want you to be lost.”
The woman stood up, and crystal light escaped from her body, like fireflies on a summer night.
"Water is also a mirror."
She raised her hand and pressed it between Li Xi'an's eyebrows.
With a roar inside his body, Li Xi'an heard a familiar neighing sound, and dots of golden light were flowing in the moonlit river. The river was taken over by the woman and turned into a ribbon, like a draped silk. At this moment, the woman in front of him finally coincided with the immortal on the ancient mural.
She quietly looked at Jian Yuechuan on her body.
"Is the robe a vessel formed by inheriting the blessings of all living beings?"
"It's a very growth-producing device, not to mention that it also contains a star-changing ichthyosaur. If we talk about the original body, it's probably just an ordinary river?"
"Yes, it was even a small stream a long time ago." Li Xi'an couldn't help but think of the scene at the entrance of the village.
That was his most peaceful and leisure time.
"What makes a utensil is made of materials from the bottom and meaning from the top. Do you know what it means?"
"The material of the refining device determines the lower limit, and the form and meaning determine the upper limit." So far, Li Xi'an has used the Five Elements Killing Technique to refine three elements, and even included the Xi Sword made of unsullied Kunlun Jade. He understood this truth.
Although now among the weapons he owns, the Heavenly Cauldron and the Xijian are the two stronger ones. But he understands that this is not permanent, and other devices need time to grow. The five elements rotate together and are not weaker than each other. Jian Yuechuan may be regarded as the one with the weakest foundation, until entering the Taihang Palace, Huaxing Ichthyosaurus swallowed the fragments of the Dharma to nourish Jian Yuechuan itself, giving it the appearance of the ocean.
But even so, part of Jian Yuechuan's power must be attributed to the ichthyosaurs sleeping in it.
Li Xi'an looked at the woman covered with Jian Yuechuan, which was as shiny as a mirror.
Then, the silk was fluttering and turned into the sea.
Centered on where they were standing at the moment, it slowly spread to the outside of the laurel tree stump.
"A very clean and pure color, suitable for use as a mirror."
She lowered her head, and the flowing Jianyue River reflected their faces, as well as the bright stars above. Li Xi'an also lowered his head and stared at himself reflected in the water.
Looking at that face, for a moment, a strange feeling surged deep in his heart.
He raised an eyebrow.
The woman next to him noticed his movement and slowly took a few steps back. Immediately afterwards, the water surface became rippled, and a huge creature slowly stood up and roared on the moonlit water surface.
His scales opened and closed from his thick neck downwards, and the roaring sound of gold and iron could be heard endlessly.
Fire flowed from the huge eye sockets.
In an instant, a ferocious ancient aura rushed towards him. The woman chuckled lightly, "You really don't look like a growing dragon. Looking at your transformed appearance, I thought you were still young. It turns out that you look similar to the old dragon king."
The huge creature curved its long and slender neck, hanging down its bones. The hot breath hit the woman's body, sweeping out some sparks.
Under the ripples of water, the lines on the scales are reflected in it.
Together with the fire he rolled up, especially the pair of huge golden candles, they looked like two suns in the reflection of Jianyue River.
Use water as a mirror to see yourself clearly.
But Li Xian thought of much more than that.
If Jian Yuechuan can reflect even the stars, why not try to reflect the world? Thousands of people and thousands of faces are all reflections of the traveler, and they are all his mirrors. In this way, Jian Yuechuan will become a complete water traveler.
The ichthyosaurs could sense his thoughts and screamed loudly.
This is obviously a good idea.
The light from the woman's body continued to escape, seeming to become more intense, and even her face became somewhat transparent.
She stood in the middle of the water, her disheveled hair falling into the water, and was picked up by the fish and dragons.
"I'm almost leaving."
"I have one last question. Did you build the Taihang Palace?" the red dragon spoke, his voice as low as thunder.
"It's so inhumane..." she laughed, "I thought you would say some sad farewell words."
"I don't think you need it."
"I don't think I need it either. Tell me what I need. If you answer it correctly, I will not only tell you the answer, but also give you an extra gift." She took a few steps forward, reached out to touch Li Xi'an's scales, and tapped it. A few times.
Li Xi'an looked at her with a smile on his hanging red bronze face.
"You need the head of the Supreme."
The woman looked surprised, "How dare you say that, the Supreme Head, no creature in the sea of stars dares to speak like this."
Li Xi'an just looked at her.
"Isn't that right? You want it."
She tilted her head slightly and turned around.
"I built your current Taihang Palace, but before that, there was an ancient building."
"I am a latecomer, and may be regarded as the second owner of Taihang Palace. At that time, Taihang Palace was already in ruins. I rebuilt the Taihang Palace to present it in the eyes of living creatures. And before me, there were others. The exact identity of the other creatures is unknown. Maybe they were at the beginning of our era, maybe they came from myths, or they were simply the remains of the old Kyushu.”
"In short, you may have to explore this answer yourself."
After the woman finished speaking, she squatted down, stretched out her hand and gently touched the Jianyue River.
The ripples spread out, as if mercury was spreading on the surface of the Jian Yue River, dense bubbles rose, and the magnificent ancient words were softly recited by her.
"My giveaway."
she said.
"You didn't say that casually, did you? I can tell that you really want to get the head of that Supreme Being."
"It's ridiculous to say that a dragon at the extreme palace level said that he wants to get the head of the Supreme Being. What's even more ridiculous is that I really want to believe that you can do it."
In Li Xi'an's perception, something was being rewritten in the depths of Jian Yuechuan.
That ancient and magnificent text was engraved into the river!
There will be more later
