544 Flowers
"What did you find?" Mo Zhiyu asked curiously.
"I found the 'Flower of the Other Side.'" When Yiyan said the words "Flower on the Other Side", he looked back and glanced deeply at Mo Zhiyu.
But although Mo Zhiyu knew that the flower that he was talking about should be a very important flower, what suddenly came to his mind was something very Mary Sue, and he asked casually: "Is it the kind of flower that can hit the peach blossom luck in the legend?" Do you believe this? ”
"What peach blossom luck? What the hell? Seeing that Mo Zhiyu couldn't keep up with his train of thought, Yiyan rolled his eyes angrily, but she didn't bother to turn around when she was leading the way, and continued,
'Don't you know?' Next to the Sansheng Stone, the flowers on the other side bloom, witness the reincarnation', the flowers on the other side grow next to the return platform in the underworld, it is the guiding flower that leads to the Lethe River, and it is said to be the flower of death that feeds on the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the dead souls who come and go, and it is very evil. ”
"I've heard of this," Mo Zhiyu, "but isn't one of the functions of this flower just to hit the peach blossom luck?" There are a lot of words in this story that say, when the flowers bloom on the other side, I will wait for you next to the Sansheng Stone or something. ”
Yiyan squinted his eyes and walked quickly to a stone door, only then turned his head in surprise to look at Mo Zhiyu: "I didn't expect you to read this kind of story as a big man, isn't this something that little girls like to see?" ”
"No, no, of course I won't read this kind of little story," Mo Zhiyu immediately waved his hand, "I just watched it with others." ”
"How do you watch this kind of story with someone?" Yiyan was even more surprised.
But Mo Zhiyu just smiled and nodded this time, and didn't intend to continue. Of course he can't say it, he can't say that when he was in another world, he accompanied Yun Shi to watch Xianxia idol dramas every day, right?
Seeing that Mo Zhiyu didn't plan to say, she didn't ask, raised her hand and lightly tapped a few times on the stone door in front of her, implying a certain pattern, and then heard a "rattle" sound, as if something was disconnected in the stone door, and then the stone door slowly opened back, making a puff of smoke and dust.
Iyan quickly fiddled with her torches and sleeves to dispel the smoke, and then she stepped into the stone chamber and said, "Come and see." ”
Mo Zhiyu followed Yiyan into the stone room, but he felt strange because he didn't feel a trace of the magic circle. It stands to reason that there are generally some ancient formations in this kind of place, or formations that Yiyan can't crack, in that case, she will say "I'll leave the rest to you".
But now that this is the case, he feels that it is a little tricky, so he can't ask him to accompany her to read pictures and make up stories, right?
Reluctantly, he glanced around the stone chamber, but found nothing. As a deserted underground palace, there are not even a few bottles and cans that look valuable, they are empty, and they can be seen through at a glance, so he can't help but wonder if Yiyan emptied everything when he came here before.
Then he looked at Yiyan, and saw that Yiyan walked straight forward, walked to the innermost part of the stone chamber, and raised the torch in his hand to shine on this wall.
Mo Zhiyu followed her in, and was stunned, because he saw a lot of brilliant flames jumping out under the faint light of the fire.
No, it's not a flame, it's a flower, a blooming flower. The petals of this flower were open, twisted and twisted, and they meandered in all directions, like a giant web woven by a spider. Just such a flower occupies an entire wall.
This is, the flower of the other side.
Seeing that Mo Zhi was stunned, Yiyan smiled and said, "Look, it's shocking, who would have thought that people who have been around for more than 2,000 years already have such superb painting skills."
Not only does it bring this flower to life, but the paint on it has not peeled off for thousands of years, and it can reflect the appropriate amount of light according to the light, making the flower look as if it is alive, making people feel as if this tower of seals has really sealed something. ”
"It's amazing." Mo Zhiyu walked up to Yiyan, looked up at the huge flower, and asked, "This is what you found, what else is there besides this amazing artistic value?" ”
Yiyan didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Do you know what direction this is?" ”
Of course, Mo Zhiyu shook his head, and then Yiyan said: "This is the southwest, that is, the gate of death. ”
"The flower on the other side is the flower of death, and it's not strange at this door of death." Mo Zhiyu said with a slight smile.
"I'm not bringing you here, of course, just to see the flower, but to find a door, but first, you have to listen to me tell a story." "I came all the way from Shengmen, and if you combine the murals of several other stone chambers, it is a spectacular missionary story. ”
Mo Zhiyu nodded, so Yiyan continued: "Just like I told you before, after Emperor Chentian unified the southeastern continent, he also thought about how to consolidate his control in the south.
This place in the Southern Continent is too special, all the people will be loyal to the Holy See, even under the threat of the great force of the Emperor Chentian at that time, they are fearless, and their submission is only because the Emperor Chentian has captured their holy daughter. In this case, Murong Lengyun, the chief military advisor under the throne of Emperor Chentian, suggested that Emperor Chentian use religion to conquer religion.
Emperor Chentian's first thought was the Sword Heng Sect, but the Sword Heng Sect had only been restored to the sect not long ago, and many Taoist classics had been lost, so he couldn't immediately take on the missionary staff, so the Emperor Chentian put this task on Lei Yin Pavilion's body.
However, you also know that there are two factions in the Lei Yin Pavilion, the 'Empty Gate' and the 'Lay Gate', and although these two factions have not been officially separated for a long time, their diametrically opposed cultivation methods have existed for a long time.
Among them, the 'empty gate', like the original Zen Taoism, emphasizes self-cultivation, especially penance, while the 'secular door' advocates integrating oneself into the various states of life, experiencing joys and sorrows, and forcing 'epiphany' through life encounters.
But at that time, the culture of the Central Plains had just spread to the north of the current Nanzhi Kingdom, and Rongzhou was still a 'wild land' at that time, which could be said to be particularly suitable for penance, so the task of Emperor Chentian was completed by those ascetics.
They had finally arrived here by trekking through poisonous mountains, over poisonous mountains, through poisonous swamps, but when they arrived, they could not continue because they were intercepted by the remnants of the Southern Continent Holy See. ”
