With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open.
Li Xi'an supported Xuanyuan and moved a hundred feet away. He stared at the door that was slowly opening.
This light door is not big, three feet high. It looks like the door of an ordinary temple wall, but no matter what it is, it will not be simple as long as it appears here. Li Xi'an's body tensed up, and underneath his calm expression was a riotous spirit.
The door opened, and two child-like creatures walked out from behind the door, standing on both sides of the light door with their hands hanging down, bowing in the direction of Li Xi'an. Their entire bodies were covered in a layer of golden light, as if molten gold was flowing on their robes and skin.
"Are you a guest here to worship?" they said, their voices were very clear, as naive and ignorant as children of this age.
Li Xi'an's eyes swept over these two creatures, but he could not see anything. Even though Zhou Fa spanned time, the two creatures in front of him remained unchanged. Whether you look into the past or into the future, this door is still standing here, and these two creatures will exist.
There is no fluctuation of spirit and no existence of Tao.
They appeared here suddenly, ignoring the erosion and changes of time.
This made Li Xi'an horrified.
What was hidden in the Hidden Age was more terrifying than he imagined.
"We sense the tokens and come to greet the worshipers," they said.
Behind the door is a darkness that is completely different from the jade steps, as if it can swallow everything.
At this time, Xuanyuan's eyes widened, as if he knew something.
He whispered: "They are divine messengers! Such creatures are recorded in the classics preserved in the central palace."
"Whenever the heavenly gate is opened, these creatures will appear to pick up those who ascend to heaven. They are messengers from heaven and the image of children. The pale masks blend with their faces, making their faces look like they are smiling. Foxes are moody and will ask for rewards from those who lead the way. If they are angered, they will push you off the way to the sky and break you to pieces!”
"So detailed? How many people have ascended to heaven before?" Li Xi'an asked in surprise.
"It was recorded in the bedtime reading written by Taihao to Emperor Wa, so I didn't react at first. I thought this kind of thing was the ancestor's evil intention to scare Emperor Wa."
"Now you know it's not true. This thing is real." Li Xi'an lowered his voice and said solemnly: "You think if we don't have any reward for them, will they fall to death if we throw them down?"< br>
Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "I thought you would say that if you kill them all without reward, can you still reach heaven?"
"I'm not that cruel." Li Xi'an frowned.
The two divine envoys looked over, with a pair of eyes staring straight at Xijian on their slender cheeks.
Xuanyuan Chen stared at the golden flames burning around the red dragon for a long time, and finally expressed the question in his heart. Said: "The further away I am from the world, the weaker my power becomes. Haven't you noticed the weirdness in yourself? The higher you go, the stronger your power becomes, as if your source is in the sky. Chilong, this is you The reason for always searching for God?”
"This secret is nothing to me. I figured it out a long time ago. The reason for ascending to the sky is ultimately that dirty paleness. I want to solve it. There are still many traces of the old Kyushu in this world. Look for those traces. Use this to look back and trace the truth," Li Xi'an said.
In the Hidden Age, his power surpassed Zhenyi, but how could he surpass Zhenyi when he didn't even have the law? During repeated exercises, Li Xi'an discovered that the surge of power was just like the original source of cinnabar's power, coming directly from the lotus petals in his body.
There is only one cinnabar, but there are three in his body.
Lotus, which is almost blocked in the world, is extremely active in the hidden era. With this power, he can even be unafraid of the Shiming Law of the Battle of Kyushu.
At the door in the distance, the envoy saw that Li Xi'an and Xuanyuan were still not approaching, and even ignored them and whispered. They looked at Li Xi'an doubtfully, and then their doubtful expressions quickly turned ferocious, and their entire faces twisted, revealing sharp teeth.
"You lied to us, you are not a worshipper! You are an intruder!" they screamed.
Xuanyuan sighed in his heart. After all, there was still a battle to be fought, and it was time for Chilong to show his cruelty.
Li Xi'an concentrated his attention and saw the golden seal characters appearing on Xi Jianjian's body. He also felt that he should run over it. This was the normal development. There are no normal people in this filthy sky. They are all enemies.
The next moment the golden seal script appeared, the two divine envoys seemed to have changed their faces, their ferocious expressions reduced, and returned to childlike ignorance. They said blankly: "You are a worshipper, and you have a token."
< br>
The envoy bowed, a little frightened, and bowed to the ground, "Worshippers, please forgive our disrespect."
Li Xi'an was stunned.
Then, the two divine envoys stood up and carefully pulled the corner of Li Xi'an's clothes, asking him to walk through the light door.
Xijian? Li Xian noticed the key points of the changes in the envoy.
Is the Xijian a token?
"Is that what you are looking for behind the door?" Xuanyuan said from behind. "I don't know, but I have to go and have a look. Don't worry, there are very few creatures that can do anything to me."
"I have no so-called token, I am waiting for you here."
Just as Li Xi'an was about to nod in response, the two envoys holding his clothes looked at Xuanyuan and said doubtfully: "What do you want a token for? You don't need a token."
They didn't know if they were getting closer to the door or if the door was getting closer to them.
Li Xi'an felt the door closing in on him, and a strange aura came around him.
…………
There was dead silence behind the door.
Just like the darkness he saw outside the door.
The two divine envoys wrapped in golden light are bright colors rarely seen in this world.
They seemed to be standing in the universe.
Li Xi'an raised his head and looked into the endless darkness. There were faint stars flickering there. They were very far away from here, but they were real.
In the dark void sits a vermilion temple.
There is no divine light or aura around, the courtyard walls are covered with vermilion paint, and dark green bricks are laid all the way from the door. The envoy of the god walked on the bluestone road, lighting the oil lamps on both sides of the bluestone road as he walked. The flames ignited and a strange fragrance wafted out.
It's peaceful here and there's no danger.
After entering this world, the dullness of the divine envoys disappeared a lot, and their movements and words became more agile. They talked with Li Xi'an about the fog and the curtain on the way to heaven.
"They are maggots sleeping in the curtain, and they were awakened by your arrival. And the noise you caused was too great, which made some big bugs wake up. Those things are not easy to deal with, and we have been living with them since we were born. ”
"I saw the mountains and rivers in the big curtain and felt familiar. Is the world in the big curtain the world of Kyushu?"
"Yes, Kyushu was folded and compressed into what it is today a long time ago. The land, mountains and seas of Kyushu in the past are stored in the curtain. And the maggots sleeping in it are the ones that grew from the corpses of the former Kyushu creatures after they died. A kind of creature. They sleep most of the time, and in some special circumstances they will wake up, and some will crawl out and fall into the world below."
"How were you born?"
The divine messenger pointed to the two little foxes carved from stone beside the door of the Vermilion Temple.
Xuanyuan glanced at it and found a stone fox statue staring directly at him.
"As for this place, it has been like this since we became wise. We are just messengers here to receive worshipers. I heard that there is no owner here, and even the honorary position of sacrifice is vacant. So the gods are the owners here. , we serve the gods, and the gods put tokens in the world to find believers. We lead the creatures who have tokens in the world to heaven, and the gods will give them what they are looking for.”
"This place is empty, and it is very different from the legends of the mortal world. But those ancient gods came from the sky, where are they?" Xuanyuan asked.
The divine messenger stretched out his hand and said, "Please follow us."
Walk through the courtyard and arrive at the main temple at the deepest point.
This main temple, which is much larger than other buildings, has a circular altar. There are many statues of gods on the altar. They are painted lifelike, with different postures, and even the flying folds of their clothes. clearly visible. Li Xi'an and Xuanyuan walked past these statues and discovered the statue of Jiutian Xuannv located in the center area.
It turns out that the gods came from here and manifested themselves from the stone statues.
Just as the divine envoy said, there is nothing on the highest throne in the center of the gods.
This temple does not have a shrine for the main lord.
"Please pay your respects," the angel said.
Li Xi'an turned around and saw the angel smiling.
He turned around again, and the stone statue on the altar seemed to be smiling as well.
The divine envoy pointed to Li Xi'an and then to Xuanyuan, and said, "Since you have brought the best sacrifices, why don't you quickly pay homage to please the gods?"
