Chapter 41: The Great History of the Immortal World (I)
To ask, or not to ask, that's the question. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For more than 20 years since he can remember, Lei Dong has been haunted by the recurring dream of "mission and responsibility". Later, when he had the biggest demon in his heart, the crazy attack of the birdman who covered the sky and the sun, and the dream of a couple of men and women blatantly detonating themselves, made him frightened at midnight several times, and a great sorrow was generated from the depths of his soul.
This makes Lei Dong suspect many times that his family has a great relationship with another world. After ascending to the immortal realm, he originally thought that all doubts would be solved, but except for one more dream, Lei Dong gained nothing, and what he got was just a new question.
Now, the old man in the dream is sitting in front of him, and all doubts are likely to be solved. But Lei Dong suddenly hesitated.
The old man Nishan is right, some things are not just known, but to experience and perceive, in order to completely produce emotional identification in the bottom of the heart and completely integrate with oneself. Just like a month ago, outside the mountain gate of Xuanwu Academy, when I saw Song Tianxing, Lin Tie, Sun Guangjie, Xu Chengbei, Nangong Di and Leng Xiu'er, standing beside me without hesitation, I had a sense of belonging to the fairy world for the first time, and I felt for the first time that the fairy world was my home.
Is it just that hearing those secrets from the old man's mouth and getting some answers is what he really wants? How will these events affect your future path?
But just give up? For a long time, what I hope most is to solve these doubts? Isn't it also to wander in the fairy world to see if one day you can have a chance to understand all this? Even just a few minutes ago, he shouted and screamed, wasn't the biggest purpose to attract this old man to appear? Could it be that after doing so much, in the end, for some reason that is not a reason, the efforts of the past are rendered useless?
Lei Dong was silent.
The old man Nishan glanced at Lei Dong quietly, picked up the quaint teacup by himself, and took a sip gently. He could see that there was some hesitation in Lei Dong's eyes, and his expression was a little dazed, and he also knew that the young man in front of him was facing an important choice, and maybe he would think about it for a long time.
But to the surprise of the old man Nishan, Lei Dong's silence was very short, almost in just a few breaths, Lei Dong raised his head, his blank expression disappeared, his eyes were clear, and he was indescribably firm.
"I've seen you before, in my dreams." Lei Dong's voice was low, and his voice was very slow, but very resolute, "At the same time, I have had many dreams, I want to know who I am, and I want to know what those dreams are all about, and what are the people who have grown a lot of wings!" ”
The old man Nishan put down the teacup and sighed softly, thunderily audible, it was not a sigh of regret, but a sigh of slightly satisfaction when he got what he wanted. This made Lei Dong feel a little strange, could it be that this old man actually wanted to ask himself? So why did he say that?
"I knew you would choose to get the question straight, but I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly," Old Man Nishan's somewhat cloudy eyes flashed, "What I didn't expect was that you would ask that question in the first place......"
The problem? Lei Dong's heart moved, he knew what the old man was talking about, and he knew even more that when he asked that question, he was already within reach of the truth.
In fact, Lei Dong was not surprised that he finally chose to get things straight. In the dream, the birdman who covered the sky and the sun left him with the impression that it was too deep, plus everything he had experienced in the mortal world - the image of the birdman of the Galel Sam brothers, the powerful aura from the sky, the Yaki Demon King at the top of Tokichi Peak...... If he didn't figure out these questions, he would never be able to face his heart.
What's more, since the ascension to the immortal realm, there has been a peaceful scene as far as the eye can see, and although there are constant disputes and contradictions between monks and sects, there is no sign of a huge crisis. But I don't know why, deep in Lei Dong's heart, there is always a faint sense of extremely huge worry, as if there is a huge crisis, which is quietly brewing, and huge variables seem to be coming soon. Especially when he thought of the first day of his ascension to the immortal realm, he met the demon team and those two birdmen, and Lei Dong felt extremely uneasy.
This is the root cause of his decision to ask questions, and he vaguely feels that these questions will most likely determine his future fate and where he will go.
"I'm very pleased that you raised this question, which shows that you have indeed not forgotten your original intention," in Lei Dong's expectant gaze, the old man Nishan said slowly, "There are some things that have been deeply rooted in your soul, no matter what kind of changes, you can't forget your mission and responsibility." ”
It is both mission and responsibility, and Lei moved his heart, these two words have appeared repeatedly in his past 25 years.
"Do you know what the purpose of creating this Xuanwu Academy was in the first place?" The old man Nishan let out a slow breath, but did not directly answer Lei Dong's question, but asked a question that made Lei Dong a little strange.
"The purpose of creating the Xuanwu Academy?" Lei Dong was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "According to what I have heard sporadically, the establishment of the Xuanwu Academy is the purpose of the predecessors of the Immortal Realm to provide a platform for the Immortal Realm monks to participate in research and improve together, and to restore and inherit many lost exercises, so as to restore the vitality of the Immortal Realm, but it is ......."
Lei Dong lowered his head slightly and hesitated, a little suspicious, he didn't know whether he should say it or not, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the calm gaze of the old man Nishan, as if he was encouraging himself to continue, and immediately did not hesitate, and muttered: "However, the Xuanwu Academy actually taught the way of formation and battle, and at the beginning of admission to the academy, it intended to guide the monks to train in this area, I think there must be something deep in it, perhaps, is there something facing the fairy world that needs more monks to participate?" ”
"You realized this very quickly, and it seems that you made the right decision." The old man of Nishan bowed slightly, he didn't say why Lei Dong had the original decision, and what kind of decision it was, he believed that after seeing himself for the first time in the fairy world, Lei Dong should have roughly understood the meaning of this sentence, "You are right, when the Qingfeng Shangxian decided to create the Xuanwu Academy, it was because he faintly felt that after the immortal and demon war, the fairy world would be threatened more seriously and more deadly......"
The old man's expression has always been faint, but what he said showed Lei Dong a historical picture that he had never thought of......
"At the time of the Immortal and Demon War, I was still a minor monk in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortals," the old man raised his head slightly, his slightly chaotic gaze, as if he had passed through the smoke and clouds of history, and returned to tens of millions of years ago, "At that time, the strength of the immortal world was far from being comparable to the current immortal world, with my cultivation in the late stage of the immortal, I could not be like those Xuan Immortals and Golden Immortal masters, acting as the main force in the battle, and I could only work with many fellow Daoists to form a formation against those vicious and cruel demons, and many confidential matters were not qualified for me to know." However, after the battle of immortals and demons, tens of thousands of immortal masters in the immortal realm fell, and the golden immortal masters were even more killed and injured. ”
Looking at the old man's somewhat gloomy expression, Lei Dong's heart thumped, he knew that what he heard today would be an unimaginable secret, and it was also the key to solving all the mysteries in his mind.
"The war between immortals and demons has lasted for tens of thousands of years," the old man Nishan said, "but when the immortal monks reviewed this war after the war, there was a question that was never answered, that is, the demon monks were originally part of the immortal realm, whether it was demon beasts or humans, they practiced the same exercises, why did they eventually fall into the demon path?" What exactly is their so-called demonic way? Why do exercises with the same root lead to completely different results? ”
A series of whys silenced Lei Dong, and he knew that there must be a huge change in this, containing shocking secrets.
"At the beginning, when the cultivation of the demon monks gradually showed that they were different from the immortal monks, no one cared." The old man of Nishan sighed for a long time, his expression was a little regretful, and he was also a little sad, "The way of heaven is impermanent, the avenue is invisible, no one knows what the real way of heaven looks like, no one dares to guarantee that what they realize, it must be right, for those monks who have gone astray, many fellow immortals still have a laissez-faire attitude, in order to distinguish themselves from the monks of the righteous path, people also gave these monks a special title of 'demon gate', at that time,' 'Demon Gate' is not a derogatory term, and some fellow Daoists are even happy to see them have accidents, as a reference in their future practice, until one day, everyone suddenly discovers that these Demon Gate monks have suddenly undergone unexpected and huge changes. ”
"These monks, not only has their cultivation speed risen rapidly, but in just a few hundred years, they have broken through the Golden Immortal Realm, and even broken through the Xuan Immortal Realm, much more than tens of thousands of years before, this is not a bad thing, the monk's cultivation, isn't it the Heavenly Dao, isn't it just a breakthrough again and again? However, at this time, the immortal realm monks found that the cultivation methods of these demonic monks were very different from before, and the way and reason why they sought a quick breakthrough was to absorb the spiritual power and cultivation of other monks! ”
"At the beginning, it was only the cultivation of monks in the Yuan Infant Mahayana period that was devoured, at most they were true immortals and heavenly immortals, but soon, less than the year before last, some Golden Immortal monks also began to be poisoned by the monks of the Demon Gate, they attacked everywhere, killed people everywhere, looked for lone monks everywhere, and used all kinds of unbelievable means to forcibly sweep away the monks' whole body spiritual power, and the killed monks, in addition to being completely lost in cultivation and becoming wasted, even their divine consciousness was also severely damaged and became a muddy fool."
"And as these Demon Sect Monks continue to attack, some of their methods have become more and more cruel, and the range of attacks has become larger and larger," the old man Nishan sighed, "They have even created several exercises that can devour the cultivation of the Immortal Realm cultivators on a large scale and without knowing it, and in a few years, millions of monks have been poisoned, including even a few long-famous Xuan Immortal powers!" And whether it is a golden immortal or a Xuan immortal, after their cultivation is absorbed, the only end is to become a complete waste person who has lost all their spiritual power and is in a mess! ”
How is this possible! Lei Dong was dumbfounded, and almost jumped up on the spot. Xuan Xian, that is the most advanced and powerful monk in the immortal world, although since entering the immortal realm, he can be regarded as invincible, but only through the short-term battle with Tianjizi's divine sense, as well as a few contacts with the Mr. Nishan in front of him, Lei Dong knew that it was completely an existence that he could not imagine, a kind of strength that he could not defeat at all. Such a person has also been silently sucked dry of cultivation? Isn't that a fantasy?
However, looking at the heavy mood of the old man Nishan, Lei Dong knew that all this was by no means a joke, but a real history.
"It was a dark time that could not be looked back on," it was obvious that the old man Nishan knew what Lei Dong was thinking, and he also understood the shock in his assassin's heart, even if it was himself, tens of millions of years of Gu Jing Bubo's heart also felt a faint pain, and there was a trace of irrepressible fluctuations in his voice, which had been calm, "Seeing his fellow disciples, his friends, and his relatives fall in front of him one after another, living a life that is worse than death, panic quickly spreads everywhere in the fairy world, because no one knows, Will the next person who becomes a waste be himself? ”
In the small hut, there was silence. Lei Dong understood that feeling, in the mortal world, when some plague was prevalent, wouldn't it be accompanied by great panic? In many cases, this panic is even more terrible and deadly than literature and art itself, and when the panic comes, many people will do unreasonable things, as if they have become crazy......
"Fortunately, under the full investigation of dozens of Xuan Immortal powers, people finally understood what the matter was about," it took a long time before the old man Nishan continued what he had just said, "The panic quickly turned into anger, and the angry monks, under the leadership of the major sects, quickly united and launched an encirclement and suppression of the Demon Gate. It was at this time that the name of the Demon Gate became the Demon Race, in order to express 'the heart of the non-my race will be different' and the determination to completely eradicate the other party. ”
"From the well-documented first monk who first fell into the Demon Dao, to the immortal realm uniting to start the slaughter, there are only less than 10,000 years in total," the old man Nishan's expression became heavier and heavier, and his brows furrowed tightly, "But no one would have thought that in less than 10,000 years, the number of demons would grow so fast, billions of demon monks, tens of thousands of times more than at the beginning, and their cultivation is the lowest in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortals, there are countless golden immortals, and even the Xuan Immortals have as many as a hundred, It's just comparable to the number of all the Xuan Immortals in the Immortal Realm now. ”
"The brutal war lasted for tens of thousands of years, and in these tens of thousands of years, the immortal monks fought hard, hoping to find the fundamental principle of the demon clan's exercises, and destroy their foundation in this way, but unfortunately, until the end of the war, this purpose was not achieved......" The words of the old man Nishan brought a trace of bitterness.
"How so?" Lei Dong asked in surprise, according to the old man Nishan, there were thousands of Xuan Immortal-level powers among the immortal monks at that time, and they were just probing the other party's exercises, how could they not even do this?
The old man Nishan's face became even more bitter, and he shook his head and said: "After a long investigation, people found that the demon monks did not have the inheritance of the exercises that could be seen in words, and those demon masters who were captured alive would always blow themselves up at the most critical time when they were asked about the secrets related to the origin of the demon race, the exercises, etc., and they would not leave a word at all, from the demon warrior to the demon general, from the demon king to the demon emperor, without exception!" Later, the immortal clan masters were forced to use the 'Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Soul Search Technique', an almost cruel divine consciousness attack method, which would even cause the opponent to self-destruct. ”
Self-destructing? Lei Dong was full of wit, and he suddenly thought that on the first day of ascending to the immortal realm, that demon general involuntarily exploded at the last moment, and that power still made him palpitate.
"The power of the demon self-explosion ......" Mr. Nishan's eyes suddenly had a faint fear, "Far more than the immortal monk self-detonation, a golden immortal-level demon king self-detonation, even the monks in the early stage of the Xuan Immortal can't withstand it, the power of the immortal clan who was injured or even fallen in the opponent's self-explosion even exceeds the number of fallen on the battlefield!" It is precisely for this reason that the ancestor had no choice but to stop the investigation, and make every effort to eradicate the demons, no matter when, as long as they fight, they must completely kill the opponent! ”
"Tens of thousands of years of war, the immortal realm corpses are all over the field, and it is finally forced into a desperate situation," the old man Nishan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that at the last moment, I still let a few super masters at the level of the demon emperor forcibly open up a space and seal themselves in it, although the immortal monks attacked several times, they were never able to break through the solid space barrier, plus the major sects also suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to support the protracted attack, so a few seals were added to the periphery of the demon world, and the normal war ended helplessly......"
"It's a pity, a war with such a heavy cost has begun to be gradually forgotten by people after tens of millions of years of history...... "After a long time, the old man Nishan regained his usual calm, and said lightly, "Perhaps, in addition to the concept that immortals and demons are incompatible, there are not many monks who still have that kind of pain, no sense of crisis, and they have lost their due vigilance, which we old guys don't want to see." ”
The old man Nishan said indifferently, but Lei Dong clearly heard a trace of helplessness and a trace of disappointment.
Inside the small hut, there was silence again.
