Infinite simulation from lock dragon well
#358 - The Four Spirits
Year 12, Day 241, you listen to the Little Azure Dragon as it speaks of who to find to establish the four seasons calendar.
The Little Azure Dragon says that it has six brothers, named Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji. If you want to establish the four seasons calendar, they can help you, but they can only establish a part of it.
To completely establish the four seasons calendar, you still need to find 'Dou' and its seven brothers, Kui and its seven brothers, and Jing and its seven brothers.
After hearing what the Little Azure Dragon said, you already know what the Little Azure Dragon is…
This Little Azure Dragon…
Ji Zheng coiled in the Huai River, and when he saw what the Little Azure Dragon said, he instantly understood the true identity of this Little Azure Dragon in reality.
This Little Azure Dragon is called 'Jiao', and it has six brothers.
Isn't this one of the Four Spirits of mythology, the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions?
Legend says that the East has the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, which will appear at the time of the vernal equinox. The seven mansions are Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
Among them, Jiao is the horn of the Azure Dragon.
Kang is the throat of the Azure Dragon.
Di is the front foot of the Azure Dragon.
Fang is the chest of the Azure Dragon.
Xin is the heart of the Azure Dragon.
Wei is easy to understand, the tail of the Azure Dragon.
And Ji is the whirlwind formed when the dragon's tail sways.
These seven mansions together form a huge Azure Dragon pattern, so in mythology, it is also called the Canglong Seven Mansions.
Canglong refers to the meaning of huge.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions in legends will appear in the sky during the vernal equinox, indicating the arrival of spring.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions can determine one of the four seasons, which is easy to understand.
Ji Zheng instantly understood everything.
Those existences that the Little Azure Dragon said it would pull in are the other Four Spirits.
In addition to the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, the other three spirits are the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Mansions, the Western White Tiger Seven Mansions, and the Northern Black Tortoise Seven Mansions.
During the Spring Festival, the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions will appear. The Azure Dragon belongs to the element of wood, and it appears in spring, symbolizing the recovery of all things in spring.
In summer, the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Mansions will appear. The Southern Vermilion Bird represents fire, and the heat of summer is due to this.
In the silent late autumn, the Western White Tiger Seven Mansions will appear. The Western White Tiger belongs to the element of metal, representing killing, which is in line with the withering of all things in autumn.
In the cold winter, the Northern Black Tortoise Seven Mansions emerge. The Northern Black Tortoise belongs to the element of water, corresponding to winter.
To determine the four seasons calendar, these twenty-eight constellations are enough!
The Strange Book really didn't deceive him.
It is estimated that the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions will be easily gathered.
Because Ji Zheng saw in the simulation that the Little Azure Dragon said that it could summon its other brothers.
This Little Azure Dragon is the 'Horn' among the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. Summoning the other six mansions means that the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions are gathered.
It is estimated that he will have to find the other three spirits himself in the simulation.
It's just that I don't know how long it will take to find them.
Ji Zheng was pondering.
But he certainly can't figure out how long it will take by thinking.
I can only continue to watch the simulation.
The simulation continues.
…
You understand which one of the myths the Little Azure Dragon is, and you also understand why the Little Azure Dragon has the ability to determine the four seasons calendar.
Your dragon eyes looked at the Little Azure Dragon with fiery heat. The Little Azure Dragon was startled by your gaze, but you ignored it and sincerely pleaded with the Little Azure Dragon to determine the four seasons calendar for the creatures of the Great Wilderness. The creatures of the Great Wilderness have suffered from the chaotic four seasons calendar for a long time.
The Little Azure Dragon was startled again by your attitude. After being stunned for a long time, it slowly regained its senses and looked at you with awe, as if it was touched by your sincerity for the creatures.
The Little Azure Dragon told you that it can only summon its brothers over, but it cannot invite the other twenty-one. However, as long as the news is spread, the twenty-one will come by themselves, so there is no need to worry, but you need to wait for a while.
After hearing that you only need to wait for a while, you immediately agreed.
…
Year 12, Day 243, you stared at the Little Azure Dragon. Under your gaze, the Little Azure Dragon flashed with azure light, as if summoning something.
…
Year 12, Day 263, under the summoning of the Little Azure Dragon, six rays of light arrived at an extremely fast speed.
After these six rays of light arrived, they immediately turned into six Little Azure Dragons. The Little Azure Dragon 'Horn' stepped forward to negotiate with them.
After some negotiation, the other six Little Azure Dragons all expressed their willingness to follow you to the Great Wilderness, and you were naturally happy to hear this.
But the seven Little Azure Dragons suddenly told you that they followed you to the Great Wilderness not for the sake of the Great Wilderness, but simply to follow you. The seven Little Azure Dragons all expressed their willingness to become your Dharma protectors and protect you from now on…
These seven Little Azure Dragons, that is, the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, all want to become his Dharma protectors?
Ji Zheng was stunned for a long time when he saw this.
But he also probably understood what it meant.
Not for the sake of the Great Wilderness, but to follow him and become his Dharma protectors.
The meaning is not for public affairs, but simply to become his subordinates.
The Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions actually want to become his private property.
Is it because of his Dao?
Are those with the same Dao attracted to the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions?
But how long have they been together?
Not long, right.
Ji Zheng didn't feel that he had such great charm to attract the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
So why did the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions choose to follow him, and still become his private property.
"Could it be because of the Heavenly Emperor?"
Ji Zheng knew that the Heavenly Emperor was likely to know that he would come to the Ruins of Return in the future.
And he had greeted the Twenty-Eight Constellations in advance, saying that he would take the Twenty-Eight Constellations away in the future.
Could it be that the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions would become his private property because of the Heavenly Emperor's orders?
There is this possibility.
Ji Zheng guessed.
But he was not sure.
After all, it is still a little bit possible that those with the same Dao attracted the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
The thing about fate is unclear and indescribable.
Just like him and the Eastern Mountain Emperor Jin Hong, it was as if they were born to know each other. Once they met, they would regard each other as confidants.
This kind of thing is difficult to say.
But no matter what, it is a good thing to be able to have the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions follow him.
It means that the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Spirits, has been settled.
Next, if the other three spirits are also resolved, the disaster of the Great Wilderness will be resolved.
"However, this Dharma protector is quite interesting."
Ji Zheng fell into thought.
He is no stranger to the word 'Dharma protector'. When he was a human, he knew a lot of legends about this.
Dharma protector, simply understood, is to be able to protect you in unforeseen circumstances, so that you can cast spells with peace of mind.
Most of those who can become 'Dharma protectors' have some skills. In the past legends, there were many elves and ghosts who had cultivation that could become 'Dharma protectors'.
Ji Zheng has not had much contact with this.
But he knew that if a human wanted to cultivate, they had to have a protector. The humans in the north, the 'incense bearers,' also known as shamanic disciples, had 'celestial beings' as their protectors. The humans in the south each had their own lineage, with the 'spirit soldiers' inherited within the lineage serving as their protectors.
Protectors were extremely important.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
If a person didn't have a protector by their side during cultivation, it was very easy for formless beings to occupy their physical body.
Many people would suddenly experience 'split personalities' or drastic changes in character. Often, this was because their souls unknowingly left their bodies during sleep, leading to possession by formless beings.
Formless beings permeated the entire world, omnipresent. Therefore, one had to have a protector by their side during cultivation; otherwise, it was impossible to cultivate.
The price of cultivating recklessly was extremely high, so high that ordinary people couldn't bear it.
But Ji Zheng was different.
Ji Zheng himself was a mythical being.
What formless being would dare to provoke him? Even if his entire dragon soul left his dragon body, no formless being would dare to approach him.
But regardless, it was a good thing that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions had chosen to become his guardian deities.
"Let's continue watching the simulation and see when the other three spirits will arrive."
Ji Zheng felt quite delighted.
But he still chose to continue watching the simulation first.
To see what the situation was with the other three spirits in the simulation.
The simulation continued.
...
【You did not reject the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions becoming your guardian deities. Instead, you chose to accept. You looked at the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and stated that you would never mistreat them.
The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions circled around you a few times, then transformed into seven balls of misty light. Under your gaze, the seven balls of mist quickly landed on your dragon body.
Horn landed on one of your dragon horns, Neck landed on a dragon scale at your throat, Root landed on your dragon claw, and Room landed on a dragon scale on your chest. The remaining Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket all landed on corresponding dragon scales.
The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions instantly disappeared from their original locations, but you could feel that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions were within your body. You could sense the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
Horn's voice rang in your mind. Horn told you to wait patiently for a moment, and the other twenty-one beings would arrive soon. You naturally agreed upon hearing this.】
...
【On the two hundred and ninety-eighth day of the twelfth year, you waited in the Ruins of Return. You were tempted to wander around, but the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions informed you that the Ruins of Return were very hostile to outsiders, and you might encounter danger if you intruded recklessly.
Being told this by the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, you quickly chickened out, so you chose to stop and wait in place.
But you weren't idle. While waiting, you continuously deepened your relationship with the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
After thoroughly understanding your Dao, you clearly sensed that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions had begun to truly follow you. At the same time, you also understood that the reason the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions had followed you before might really have been because of the Heavenly Emperor.】
...
【On the three hundred and tenth day of the twelfth year, seven white balls of light flew over as you waited. You knew that the Western White Tiger Seven Mansions had arrived.
You originally thought that it would take some persuasion to convince the White Tiger Seven Mansions, but you didn't expect that the White Tiger Seven Mansions seemed to have known that this day would come long ago. They immediately agreed to follow you out of the Ruins of Return, which surprised you.】
...
【On the three hundred and seventeenth day of the twelfth year, the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Mansions arrived and quickly chose to follow you as well...】
...
【On the three hundred and thirtieth day of the twelfth year, the Northern Black Tortoise Seven Mansions also arrived and chose to follow you.
You finally obtained the allegiance of the Four Spirits. Under Horn's guidance, you began to head out of the Ruins of Return. Except for the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, which were attached to various parts of your dragon body, the other three spirits were gathered at the scales on your dragon tail, not scattered.
You vaguely understood that, apart from the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, the other three spirits were not sincerely following you.
But you didn't care. What you truly cared about was the beings of the Great Wilderness, so you still led the other three spirits out of the Ruins of Return.】
...
【On the three hundred and twenty-third day of the twelfth year, under Horn's command, you successfully left the Ruins of Return and arrived in the East Sea.
But after arriving in the East Sea, you were stunned because you didn't know which direction to go to return to the Great Wilderness. At this moment, you were completely lost.
The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions instantly communicated with you when you were confused. The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions guided you in the right direction, and you led the Four Spirits towards the Great Wilderness.】
This disaster in the Great Wilderness could be considered over.
Ji Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing this.
It was just that three of the Four Spirits clearly didn't sincerely want to follow him, but they still chose to leave the Ruins of Return with him.
It seemed that the previous speculation that the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions followed him because they shared the same ideals was complete nonsense.
The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions must have been like the current three spirits before, not sincerely following him.
It was only after constantly communicating with him in the Ruins of Return that they were infected by his Dao and chose to sincerely follow him.
However, he felt the same way as the him in the simulation.
He didn't care too much.
His goal was to resolve the disaster in the Great Wilderness, not to subdue the Four Spirits. Subduing the Four Spirits wouldn't benefit him.
The sincere following of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions was an unexpected joy, but he wouldn't force the other three spirits to sincerely follow him like the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
"The Four Spirits initially chose to follow me because of the Heavenly Emperor's orders, right?"
Ji Zheng understood very well.
Heavenly Emperor...
Although he had never met the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor had influenced him in many ways, both big and small.
The Heavenly Emperor seemed to not exist at all, but also seemed to be everywhere.
Like the beings of the world.
Tangible or intangible.
Omnipresent, there was no place where he didn't exist.
The feeling the Heavenly Emperor gave him was also like this.
Too profound and mysterious.
Omnipotent, powerful, ancient, and so on...
These were all labels of the Heavenly Emperor, but none of them could describe the Heavenly Emperor's power.
"Sooner or later, I will meet the Heavenly Emperor."
When Ji Zheng thought of the Heavenly Emperor, he inexplicably had this thought.
It was unprovoked, but he just felt that it would happen.
"Is this just me overthinking, or is it fate?"
Ji Zheng began to doubt.
But he quickly felt that he was overthinking it. With the Heavenly Emperor's abilities, if there really was such a possibility, how could he sit idly by? He would definitely directly obliterate him.
How could he possibly wait for him to grow up...
