Baishixian Road

Chapter 93 Xiangying's History Lesson
Before leaving, the whole Lin family saw him off.It was originally agreed, but Xu Mo and Xiangying walked together, Lin Jiuyuan stayed at the Lin family, and even the big demon Yuan Jun didn't let him go.

But I didn't expect that Lin Jiuyuan would catch up to him not long after he walked out.

This drama is called 'making decisions without authorization, and leaving with the teacher'.

"Why did you run out?" Xu Mo was puzzled.

"Long experience and knowledge, learning skills. And since I have become a teacher, of course I have to practice with the master." Lin Jiuyuan's answer was straightforward.

"Does your father know?" Xu Mo asked again.

Lin Jiuyuan nodded: "My father asked me to come."

"That's all right!" Xu Mo was not a stubborn person, he thought that he had gone five miles away, and he didn't bother to go back, and Lin Jiuyuan could also verify his knowledge of swordsmanship by following him.

So, a young talented man and two beautiful girls went together, this time they changed their direction to the north, and headed straight for the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.

When I was in Zhuzhou before, there were few pedestrians on the road. That place can be regarded as a remote state, and yes, it is not remote. How could there be deep mountains and old forests like Zangwang Mountain and Gualong Mountain that breed demon cultivators.

But all the way to the north from the shore of Xiangshui Lake, the road is much more lively and prosperous.

Waterways and boats travel like weaving, even if you go by land, you often meet passers-by.There are traffickers, some visiting relatives, and there are dart troupes, and there are all walks of life.

Xu Mo is also a person who is good at socializing. Neither Lin Jiuyuan nor Xiangying can compare in this regard. What Xu Mo saw along the way, these two people were also dumbfounded by Xu Mo.

It doesn't matter who it is, this guy can chat when he goes up, and he can call him brother with a few sentences.

"Cultivation is not good, you're really thick-skinned!" Xiangying's summary, even Lin Jiuyuan gave a thumbs up in agreement.

A safe journey, no setbacks.

Xu Mo was surprised at this point, he thought that he would encounter some weird and weird things along the way, and then he learned about it by the way.

Pity.

"There are still many ordinary people in this world." Xu Mo sighed, Lin Jiuyuan didn't understand what he meant, but Xiangying understood in seconds.

"That's normal, otherwise, it's really like that lion camel mountain, where evil spirits rule, people are like livestock, and the bones of the monster's cave are like a sea, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

What Xiangying said was a passage from Xu Mo's "Journey to the West".

She still remembers this part.

Xu Mo knew what she meant. It meant that if that was the case, this person would become a rarity. If you want to eat it, you may not be able to eat it.

With her temperament, it is estimated that she is not used to it.

But also because of this sentence, Xu Mo thought of some interesting things and speculated about it.

"Since weirdness is in power and human pills are rampant, why don't they enslave all beings, and then they can eat as much as they want? Why bother to whitewash themselves and put on a show?"

Still using "Journey to the West" as the blueprint, let's talk about Shituoling, the description in the original book is extremely terrifying.

"Skeletons are like hills, bones are like forests. Human hair is stretched into felt sheets, and human flesh is rotten into dust. Human tendons are entangled in trees, and the dried scorches are as bright as silver. It is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. It really smells bad. Demons take the flesh of living people; demons go down to the west to cook fresh human flesh.”

It can be said that it is a kingdom of demons, and people are like livestock.

However, from the perspective of a third party, this is in line with the law of development of things, because the monster is strong and the man is weak. Naturally, the weak side will inevitably be enslaved by the strong side.

Just like people eat livestock, it is a truth.

"But why is there no place like Lion Camel Ridge born here?"

Xu Mo asked.

"How do you know?" Xiang Ying said at this moment, Xu Mo was taken aback at first, then felt his scalp go numb.

"Really?"

"Yes, I've seen it before, but it's not in the states of the Central Plains, but in a very far away place, so the reason why I like to listen to the "Journey to the West" you talked about is not only because it is interesting, but also because it is close to life."

Xiang Ying's answer surprised Xu Mo.

Although she explained that places similar to Shituoling are not in the many states where the Great Xia Dynasty is located, but in extremely distant outer states.

But even so, just thinking about it makes people's heart beat wildly, and it's hard to calm down.

"Then why, alone here, can humanity prosper?" Xu Mo asked a key question.

"You don't know about this?" Xiangying was taken aback for a moment, then immediately remembered: "Oh right, you are in the loop, maybe you really don't know."

Lin Jiuyuan couldn't understand what Xu Mo was talking to Xiangying.

She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only listen.

cycle?

What cycle?
"How about I tell you something?" Xiangying said.

"Of course we have to talk, hurry up, hurry up!" Xu Mo felt that he needed to have a deeper understanding of the history of this world.

Xiangying was very excited. For her, Xu Mo used to tell her the story, but today, in reverse, she became the speaker.

Now they are walking in the mountains, although there is no pavilion, but there are pines and cypresses for shade, sitting under the trees feels quite good.

"Then let me tell you why. The states in the Central Plains can prosper with humanity. This matter has to be talked about 800 years ago." It may be because I listen to a lot of books on weekdays, so the number of ways Xiangying talked about is a bit like The storyteller kind.

She also slapped her thigh, presumably she took her hand as a wake-up call.

"At that time, I was not born yet, and I heard that demons ruled. People are like animals. Although there are countries, they are all evil countries. Taoism, Buddhism, and evil are three pillars. People at that time were really like animals. So when I heard you talk about "Journey to the West", I always felt that it was telling the truth about the past, just like listening to a history book."

"What happened later? Tell me directly why there was a change."

Xu Mo wanted to hear the key.

Obviously, this world is much darker than he thought, the key is, what kind of power makes the originally dark world give birth to a glimmer of light.

Even the ray of dawn that was born at the beginning can still shine today, and the lingering light still lingers.

Otherwise, what I have heard and seen along the way is by no means so peaceful.

It may really be the scene of 'skulls like mountains, bones like forests'.

"I've heard that 800 years ago, there were real immortals who descended and swept all directions, killing demons and demons, and pacified the kingdom of demons in the Central Plains; The powerful demon cultivators were so scared that they fled thousands of miles away, and they dared not set foot in the Central Plains. Even the ones left behind all made three rules, changed their appearance, practiced Taoism and practiced Buddhism, so they have been honest for hundreds of years. If you do some shameful things, you only dare to do it behind your back, or choose a remote place, and if you really want to do things with great fanfare, you absolutely dare not."

Xu Mo really didn't know about this.

It's also because I met Xiangying, like Xuan Shanjun and Huai Yuanhui I met before, and the time of cultivation is only about a hundred years, how do I know these things.

Who would have thought that the states of the Central Plains in the past had such a history.

The problem is that ordinary people don't know either.

Right.

The lifespan of a mortal is only a hundred years, and 800 years is enough to go through a dozen or twenty generations.

Let alone ten or twenty generations.

Even in two or three generations, many things may be forgotten in the long river of history.

Unless there are classics left in the world, people in the present will know nothing about the past.

"800 years ago, why was the immortal so fierce?" Xu Mo asked.

"Well, I only know its title, 'Zhenwu Great Emperor', or 'Tianyuan Zhenren', and some people call it 'Xiaoyao Zhenxian'. As for the name, no evil spirit dares to mention it, so I have never heard of it."

Xu Mo was silent after listening.

He's thinking about it.

What Xiangying said should be true. After all, she has cultivated for nearly 600 years. During such a long time, what she has come into contact with and heard about is naturally more and more comprehensive.

Some things, she has even experienced it herself.

In other words, it is all because of the gift of the immortal 800 years ago that we can have such a bright and peaceful world today.

But what kind of fairy is this fairy?
"Is it the one I thought, or the one with a baby in the belly and flowers on the head?"

Xu Mo couldn't help asking.

Obviously, no one could answer this question for him.

It's just that Xu Mo has a feeling.

It must be the former one.

Because what the other party did was in line with Xu Mo's understanding of real immortals.

"Eight hundred mortals have pointed fingers, and only one is a true immortal!"

Xu Mo muttered.

He's obviously excited.

It was like drinking eight bottles of espresso in a row, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

very excited.

The secret technique of human pills, and the transformation of three animals into one are all methods of false immortals. In this world, there are still real immortals.

That was the one 800 years ago.

"Then, is there any trace of that immortal?" Xu Mo asked quickly.

Xiangying shook her head.

"That one, it is said that he only came into the world for a hundred days, then drifted away and never appeared again."

Xu Mo was taken aback.

Then it was even more shocking.

"After only a hundred days, many evil spirits have been frightened so that they dare not cause trouble in the Central Plains states for 800 years? You are really a god!"

Xu Mo seldom admired anyone, but the one from 800 years ago was extremely admirable just because of his prestige.

If it wasn't for the real combat power against the sky, if it wasn't for the real strength, how could there be such a terrifying power?

"I heard that the Central Plains went through five dynasties, and there were also times of war, but no matter which dynasty or generation, they all respected the 'Zhenwu Emperor' as their ancestors, and were enshrined by all dynasties, worshiped at the beginning of the year, and granted the throne. 'Emperor Zhenwu' said something, if there is no such thing, it seems that it is not orthodox."

Xiangying knew this.

Even more, she didn't know. Even these, she had heard them in the past and pieced them together to teach Xu Mo such a lesson.

"The one 800 years ago, like a bright lamp in the dark, has been shining for 800 years, but this light, can it continue to shine?"

Xu Mo thought deeply, and inevitably had such a question.

No one is good for a thousand days, and no one is good for a hundred days.

If that 'Emperor Zhenwu' was still there, he would naturally not say anything, but if the other party was gone, no matter how strong the remaining prestige was, it would gradually weaken.

Until finally nothing left.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be the same as in the past, with the decline of humanity and the rise of weirdness.

But no matter what, after learning about this past, Xu Mo also had an idea in his heart.

800 years of ups and downs, evil spirits are rampant, evil ways and Buddhas are chaotic in the world, but fortunately one person is a real fairy, so Xu Mo feels that he finally has a way forward.
