After Zhang Guolao heard about it, he couldn't hide his disappointment, but his mood went away as quickly as it came. Spreading his hands, he joked: "That's right. I'm a bad old man. I haven't gained faith for a long time. When I was an immortal, people in the world thought that my jade dragon was a donkey. I am the old donkey immortal."
Xiao Jiang turned around and said, "Zhang Guolao, call your dragon over. It's flying too slow like this."
Fang Tianmu stood up and wanted to grab the three of them and fly forward. Xiao Jiang was startled and shouted three times to stop him, but before he could do it, Fang Tianmu floated in the air safely.
"Huh?" Zhang Guolao observed Fang Tianmu's body, "Are you an immortal too? Which level of immortal are you?"
Before Fang Tianmu could reply, he immediately fell back on the snow deer's back. He noticed that there was a gap between himself and the energy of nature. If he were in the human world, he could rely on his ability to continuously absorb and transform the energy of nature, but in this world Here, the natural energy is too primitive and heavy, and his ability cannot transform it into his body. Moreover, the natural energy here is essentially different from the natural energy in the world. He can only consume his own stored energy, but the energy After it is exhausted, he cannot replenish energy from nature and can only rely on eating. However, the things here, like the grape, are full of natural energy. Once eaten, it may be even worse. Therefore, he must Reserve your strength for emergencies.
Zhang Guolao wondered: "It's strange, you are not an immortal, why can you fly?" In Zhang Guolao's understanding, there seems to be no concept of cultivation. Fang Tianmu also figured out that the era of human civilization is It belongs to the non-cultivation era of the human race, so the gods or immortals here are not actually gods in the true sense.
The crystal dragon pulled the car and flew over. It was much bigger than everyone expected. Everyone sat in the car. After the crystal dragon flew, they felt a strong push on their backs. However, the wind did not appear on the car. Everyone only felt that a wind was sliding around them. Picture after picture, there is no sense of traveling through them.
The speed of the dragon chariot was a hundred times that of the snow deer, and it bypassed Wufeng Mountain in a flash.
Zhang Guolao refused to give up and asked Fang Tianmu why he could fly. Could it be that there was a new world of gods in the world and that their fairy city had been forgotten and abandoned?
After Wufeng Mountain, there is Han Xiangzi's Buji Cliff. After Buji Cliff, there is a big gap in the natural energy here, as if the world on that side is older. On the right side of Buji Cliff is Zhong Liquan's Cloud House, and on the left is Zhong Liquan's Cloud House. Cao Guojiu's yin and yang version seems to be the divine residence or fiefdom of each immortal.
Xue Zhongqiao was fascinated by the scenery above her head. Fang Tianmu followed her gaze and found that a moon palace had appeared in the sky. Xiao Jiang said: "Sister Chang'e lives up there, but she is indifferent to worldly affairs. Never come into contact with the immortals below.”
Zhang Guolao said: "She didn't dare to come down, you see." An arrow suddenly shot out from the sky and penetrated directly into the Moon Palace. A large number of building stones in the Moon Palace were peeled off, and then it began to slowly recover. Zhang Guolao continued: "This woman has not gone through disasters and cultivation. Her husband Hou Yi shot down the toad of the Barefoot Immortal. The toad had a fairy berry in its mouth. Hou Yi returned home. He planned to eat the fairy fruit and become an immortal after explaining everything, but his wife Chang'e stole the fairy fruit, became an immortal, and came here. The Jade Emperor was furious about this and demoted the Barefoot Immortal to leave the fairy city and become a wanderer. In order to punish Chang'e, I brought Hou Yi to this immortal world and told him that when he shoots Chang'e to death, he would be allowed to become an immortal. Look, he has been shooting till now."
Fang Tianmu was very interested in the Jade Emperor he mentioned and asked, "Where is the Jade Emperor now?" He believed that the so-called Jade Emperor should be the true god in the era of human civilization.
Zhang Guolao sighed: "How can we little immortals have the qualifications to meet the Jade Emperor? He has not come forward yet."
"Then where did you know about the Jade Emperor you are talking about?"
Zhang Guolao was startled for a moment and recalled: "It is said in the human world that all immortals have a leader, named the Jade Emperor. We all came from human beings and became immortals, so we think so."
Xiaojiang shouted to Xiaobai and drove the jade dragon to fly forward.
"Slow down!" Zhang Guolao stopped her, grabbed Fang Tianmu's shoulders and asked, "Tell me young man, why can you fly? Are you an immortal in the world now?"
Fang Tianmu replied no, and at the same time asked Zhang Guolao, what is Li Zhijie? Zhang Guolao pointed forward and said: "That is Li Zhijie. We little immortals can't get in, we still have to practice." It will take hundreds of millions of years.”
"Then where is this place?" Zhou Xiqin asked.
Zhang Guolao said: "Penglai, this is Penglai Immortal World. At the beginning of chaos, the earth was just one square piece. The Jade Emperor held the sky on all sides, like a cloth bag, covering it outside the earth, forming a ball. The so-called round sky and place are exactly In this way, the sky on all four sides intersects at one point, forming a total of four points, namely Penglai in the east, Kunlun in the west, Zhu in the south, and Zhaoyuan in the north. These are the four great immortal realms under the Heavenly Palace, and they are also the lowest immortal realm. Look at Li The child realm should be the upper level. Those who become immortals will enter the four realms and accept the faith of the world. Only by accepting faith can we have immortal power, and every time the faith is accumulated to a certain level, we can fly out of Penglai We go to the human world to bring blessings and accept worship. After the fairy power is used up, we will return to the fairyland and wait for the next opportunity to accumulate faith."
"What a pity," Zhang Guolao continued: "Two thousand years ago, human beings' belief in gods began to weaken. They discovered something called 'science', and relying on that thing, they actually accomplished what immortals can do. Utilization and control of nature. As a result, more people do not believe in us. They actually say that the earth is not square, but round. Three thousand years ago, humans went to heaven and earth, were omnipotent, and even flew into the outer universe. , to go to the Heavenly God Realm where the Jade Emperor is, but at this point, the Jade Emperor still hasn't come forward, alas, the immortals... can never leave the fairy world again."
Fang Tianmu remembered that when he and Mu Ziyun were in the Heavenly Palace, he came up with the idea that there was a "hand" outside the era. It was creating an ideal world. Perhaps it was disappointed with the previous era, so it created a world with only Human beings, and there is no way to practice in the civilized era. Looking at it now, that "hand" cannot take care of all aspects of the human world, so it leaves a "way to immortality" for those who "achieve immortality". By accepting beliefs, it appeared from time to time to maintain the balance of the times, but it did not expect that humans have terrible creativity and infinite possibilities. By themselves, they completed the utilization of nature and gradually became the masters of the civilized era. , the Jade Emperor who has never shown up may be the "hand". Why did it not choose to change this situation, but instead acquiesced in the decline of the "immortal"? It was probably because it was surprised and satisfied with the results of the era when human beings can control themselves, so it removed The influence of "immortal".
Unexpectedly, mankind eventually destroyed itself.
Xue Zhongqiao asked: "Three thousand years ago, no one believed in gods?"
"No," Zhang Guolao said, "We have weakened from gods to culture. Human beings have recorded us in stories as memories and symbols of the nation. Human beings themselves are still weak. When disasters and diseases come, they will eventually Having faith, when you have desires and requests, you will also pray to gods and worship immortals. And we Eight Immortals are enshrined in a small seaside town named Penglai. People do not come to worship us with special desires, but we regard it as cultural Therefore, in the following thousands of years, our Eight Immortals will only gain very little faith, and we will never have the chance to go to the human world."
"How can you have enough faith without even one immortal?" Xue Zhongqiao asked curiously.
Zhang Guolao said angrily: "Of course, God of Wealth, God of the Moon, the faith they gained has risen instead of falling, and they have become frequent visitors in the world. At that time, people among humans could get rich overnight, change their fate against the will of heaven, and immortals. The co-authorship is almost entirely the result of the two of them.”
"What happened next?" Zhou Xiqin actually expected the ending in her heart.
Zhang Guolao said: "Seven thousand years ago, humans launched a war, and they have actually been at peace for two thousand years. When the war started, we saw the scene of the human world, because at that time, countless people suddenly Faith is poured into our bodies. No matter which immortal it is, it has been begged and called. Human beings finally lost to their own pride and ambition. Within three days, human civilization returned to the primitive era. When it was about to die, They finally surrendered to nature and began to cry for the blessings of gods. I saw the human world. It was a dream that still scares and shocks me. After that, we never went out again and stayed in the Penglai world, the human world. how is it now."
Everyone didn't know how to answer this matter. In Zhang Guolao's opinion, the human world is just the human world. He didn't know that pigs and dogs could go to heaven and escape from the earth, let alone that a practitioner could move mountains and seas with a wave of his hand...
Fang Tianmu expressed his true feelings and said: "I have changed my mind a long time ago. It is useless to tell you. You cannot understand that the era of human civilization is the most failed era and it only existed for seven thousand years."
"Child, you have never lived in that era. It...may not be as rich or wonderful as you are now, but...the days when human beings control their own destiny are happy. Small people are always fighting. , there are countless thoughts in their minds, a bowl of rice can bend them, but their shoulders can still hold up a country and a sky. I have not seen your era, but I believe that in any era, , are not as free and powerful as the human beings of this era."
Xiaojiang was a little anxious and urged: "Stop talking, I'm going to find Xiaobai in front."
"Xiao Bai never came back."
"Hey, he didn't show up here..."
"Oh, that's right...I forgot about it."
