Yin and Yang Taoist Code
Chapter 57 Rainforest Clearing
On the western border of Dayan, there is an iconic area called the Eternal Rain Forest.
The Eternal Rain Forest covers an extremely large area, spanning almost half of the western border of Dayan. The dense vegetation blocks most of the sunlight, making everything in the rainforest dark. Only the occasional specks of light that sneak through the leaves prevent the dark rainforest from being so dark that nothing can be seen.
It was hot and humid in the dim cloud forest. Thick rotten leaves mixed with the corpses of various creatures were piled on the ground, exuding an indescribable disgusting smell. Some rotten leaves were mixed with something unknown, and they actually emitted bursts of mist of various colors in this steamer-like rain forest. Most of these mists are equally disgusting and unpleasant, but a few of them smell pretty good, and even smell addictive.
However, if you really believe that these good-smelling mist can be beneficial to your physical and mental health, then congratulations, you are dead. Because these mist with different colors and smells have a well-known unified name - miasma.
The "beauty" of miasma is well known, and the reason why the Eternal Jungle can be used by Dayan as a natural protective barrier on the border is because the miasma here is not only fatal to ordinary people, but even to monks, some of the beautiful miasma is Able to toy these powerful, larger than life creatures to death.
The eternal rainforest, which seems to be a restricted area of life, is not completely silent. Although it is not suitable for humans and most beasts to live, it is a paradise for many poisonous insects and beasts. Many of these creatures, who naturally like hot and humid environments, are extremely poisonous themselves. What is a deadly miasma to other creatures is a great tonic to them.
For millions of years, these creatures have lived here from generation to generation, dividing the entire rainforest into unknown areas, each guarding its own area. If any other creature steps into their territory, they will immediately launch a violent attack and will not stop until all the offenders are killed or driven out.
To them, the rainforest is like a country filled with princes, each one their own king. Here, they have their rules.
However, this rule was broken not long ago. Deep in the rainforest, there was an earth-shaking loud noise, and then an unprecedented strong wind swept across, blowing away the miasma and moisture in the rainforest. The invisible pressure in the strong wind also blew away the residents of these rainforests. Panicked, they either ran around or hid in their lairs and shivered.
After the strong wind swept away, the rainforest gradually became quiet again. The frightened residents began to walk out of the nest tremblingly, and started their lives over again.
They are so happy without opening their minds, as long as their territory is still there. But this is not the case for some highly intelligent creatures. Already aware of curiosity and fear, they began to walk out of their own territory and ran towards the place where the loud noise occurred. They wanted to know what it was that caused so much damage to their homes.
Full of curiosity and fear, they actually kept silent in a tacit agreement as they ran along. Regardless of whether they were ferocious beasts that liked to roar a few times when they had nothing to do, or insect snakes that could only make a slight rustling sound, they all tried to stay quiet as much as possible. Even when some ferocious beasts with old grudges met, they did not fight directly as usual, but just bared their teeth at each other, growled a few times to show threats, and then went their separate ways and continued moving forward.
Because, ahead, there are greater threats and unknowns waiting for them.
When they walked through the rainforest and came to the place where the explosion occurred, they were stunned by what they saw.
The familiar rainforest was gone. It seemed like there was a bald area in the rainforest, and a large strange open space actually appeared. In the open space, all the big trees were broken down, and some of them were even uprooted. Among these broken pieces of vegetation, you can occasionally see the remains of some insect beasts, which seem to tell the horror that happened here.
The strange scene caused all the poisonous insects and beasts that came to stand still. As they looked at each other, no one dared to take a step beyond their reach. They are afraid, afraid that if they enter it, they will become one of those stumps.
Fear should have made them leave, but they already knew curiosity and desire, and they were unwilling to leave just like that. Because, with their intelligence, they already know how to desire to be powerful and to obtain the power that can destroy everything, even if it is only a small part.
Faced with a dilemma, they finally followed their instincts and made a choice. They chose to stay where they were and wait and see. They are waiting for the first person who dares to step into them. As long as there is the first person to step in and prove alive that there is no danger here, they will start to take action and enter it to find the power that may make them stronger.
This is wisdom, the talent they possess that enables them to open their minds and know how to think.
Likewise, this is also their sadness. Because their wisdom is not enough for them to understand the truth - the first person to eat crabs often reaps the biggest rewards.
I don’t know how long it took, but on this day, there was a sound of breaking through the sky. The anxious beasts who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their heads and looked at the sky.
In the sky, an old man wearing a green robe flew towards here sitting on a huge brown gourd. If Li Chuyi were here, he would definitely think that gourd looks familiar, because this gourd is very similar to the Taoist priest's gourd. It's just that the Taoist priest's gourd looked very dilapidated with pits and pits, even worse than the beggar's wine gourd on the street. However, the gourd the old man was riding on had a smooth surface and a faint shine. It looked like a great magic weapon at first glance.
Soon, the gourd carried the old man and flew to the edge of the clearing. The old man just glanced slightly at the insect beasts below that were looking at him in unison, and then flew past without stopping, directly to the center of the clearing.
Below, the poisonous insect beasts who had been waiting for a long time saw that there was a guy who dared to be the first to break into this area, and he was not dead yet. They didn't even think about the difference between flying and running. As if they heard the call to charge, they immediately rushed forward, rushing forward in a hurry.
As the roars spread, the beasts surged.
They are scrambling, but they don't actually know what they are looking for. But their little bit of wisdom and instinct let them know that they were right to follow the figure in the sky. That strange beast dared to be the first to step into this place, and without hesitation, he must have discovered something. As long as you follow him, you must be right.
Then, a strange picture appeared in the clearing in the rain forest. An old man in green robes walked forward in the sky, followed by hundreds of beasts on the ground. From a distance, it seemed as if the green-robed old man had done something outrageous and bad to offend these ferocious beasts, and it seemed as if these ferocious beasts were the green-robed old man's pets. The scene was extremely strange.
"These brainless idiots." The old man in green robe glanced behind him and chuckled.
No longer paying attention to those who were following him, the old man in green robe looked forward, holding a Dao Jue in his hand. With his eyes slightly closed, he kept silently sensing something.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, he opened his eyes and looked somewhere ahead, grinned, and said with a chuckle: "I found it, it's here."
And wherever he looked, if Li Chuyi was there, he would definitely see at a glance that there was the space crack that sucked him into the void.
"My little friend, I hope you are still alive. It's not in vain that I went to such trouble to find you."
A breeze blew, and the green-robed old man's clothes fluttered, revealing a token on his waist, with a tripod drawn on it, and two large characters - Hundred Tribulations - engraved in the complicated pattern.
