Chapter 1284 Ninth Life Reincarnation 4
There are two stones standing like giant eggs!
Hence the name Twin Rocks.
The two boulders are very close but not connected. There is a gap in the middle, which is extremely narrow and difficult for people to pass through.
On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there will be a red light flashing in the gap and a faint sound, which will last for half an hour.
At this time of year, whether they are dignitaries or traffickers, all these believers, men and women, will gather together and kneel on the ground in dense numbers around the two stones. Some pray for blessings, some seek wealth, some seek peace, and some seek official career. , there are even those who are looking for children... and so on.
It is said that no matter what you ask for, your request will be fulfilled.
For the few that fail, it is because you are not sincere enough in your prayers.
Obviously, human words are to be feared and gods are hard to deceive. Otherwise, if it is so effective, you don’t have to do anything. Just kneel there for half an hour and pray sincerely, and you will have everything, right?
Despite this, there are still a large number of men and women flocking to it.
More and more people believe in men and women, and there have been many stampede casualties, which have seriously affected the security of Shuangshi City and the reputation of the city lord's palace.
Later, the city lord's palace sent people to surround the two stones with fences, and sent special guards to guard them. They also set a rule that anyone who visits must first pay a large amount of silver.
Even so, it still couldn't stop the indestructible belief of believing in men and women, because with the help of the City Lord's Palace, the matter was spread more and more evil.
The steady stream of money once became an important source of income for the City Lord's Mansion.
The prices of the City Lord's Mansion are getting higher and higher, but they still underestimate the ignorance of the world. Some people are even willing to lose everything just to beg for it.
Due to the intervention of the city lord's palace, some people were even delayed for several months.
After all, no matter how they arranged it, they could only accommodate 3,000 people kneeling down at the same time on a grand day.
Three thousand people knelt down and prayed devoutly at the same time. What a spectacular scene it was!
They recited their prayers silently in their hearts, and soon a red thread would float out from the gap between the two stones and connect them.
This is a blessing from the gods!
This is how their sincere prayers were echoed by the gods!
When the red line is withdrawn, it means that half an hour has passed, and all prayers will be fulfilled one by one in the future.
The city lord's palace and all the men and women who believe in you are in love with each other, and they all get what they want, and they never tire of it.
Until one day, a Taoist priest from outside the country came to this twin stone city.
The Taoist priest paused in front of the boulder for a long time, and then let out a shocking exclamation.
"People in the world are ignorant and only know how to kneel down and worship the boulder, but they don't know that there is life inside the boulder. If you get it, you can live forever."
A guard immediately reported the matter to the city lord, and the Taoist priest was invited into the city lord's mansion that day.
A few days passed by.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and three thousand believers, men and women, are eagerly waiting for the city guards to let them go and find a place to kneel down and pray to the gods.
At this moment, hundreds of soldiers came with weapons in hand and surrounded the two rocks, leaving a wide space.
Those who believe in men and women don't know why, but they can only retreat.
Two sedans stopped in the field, and the one who stepped out was the city lord of Shuangshi City. The person who stepped out of the other sedan was the Taoist priest who appeared here a few days ago.
Under the city lord's signal, the noisy crowd gradually calmed down.
The city lord said loudly: "Everyone, from now on, it is strictly forbidden to kneel down and worship the two stones. The money you have paid in advance will be returned one by one by the city lord's palace."
In front of the majestic soldiers and the bright swords, everyone dared not speak out in anger and could only discuss in low voices.
The city lord waved his hand, and a group of skilled craftsmen with various tools came out. Without the city lord's instructions, they set up ladders and climbed up the boulder.
For a time, the sound shook all directions.
They... actually wanted to break the twin stones!
"My lord, this is not possible!"
The voice of an old man rang out from the crowd. His hair was white and his beard was also white.
He wanted to rush into the field, but was stopped by soldiers.
The city lord frowned at the old man and said, "Old man, are you dissatisfied with the city lord's palace's decision?"
The old man said anxiously: "Sir, the twin stones were transformed by the gods, and the Twin Stones City got its name from this. Sir, if you want to break the twin stones now, you will destroy the Twin Stones City! Once the gods are blamed..."
"Oh, God? Old man, you are old, do you know whether the prayers of those who kneel down to worship the two stones have ever come true? According to the secret investigation of the City Lord's Mansion over the past few years, some of the prayers have indeed come true, but that absolutely Instead of kneeling down and begging for Shuangshi's answer, today, I am going to break this evil delusion, restore the clarity of Shuangshi City, no longer let those who are haunted by evil spirits react passively, and restore the bright and prosperous world!" The city lord interrupted in a cold tone. The words of the old man.
The old man trembled and said: "I just ask you to be open to one side and don't do such disobedient and taboo things again and destroy the ten thousand-year-old foundation of Shuangshi City!"
"Stop talking! This is for your own good! If someone talks nonsense again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" the city lord said impatiently.
The person next to the old man pulled him to stop him from saying anything to offend him. The old man sighed.
The city lord naturally did not consider the people. After talking with the Taoist priest for several days, he made an immediate decision.
Immortal! No one can resist such extraordinary temptation!
However, he told the truth about one thing. Over the years, the City Lord's Mansion has indeed conducted many targeted investigations. Those who believed in men and women and who sought wealth on their knees have really become rich men and career seekers. , is also rising rapidly, and those who seek children will have children in droves within a few years.
However, these are a minority after all, and according to the investigation, the success of these people has too much chance. Once analyzed, it has nothing to do with kneeling down to worship the two stones.
If the Taoist priests did not appear, the city lord might even publicize these examples in order to amass more wealth.
But compared to immortality, what is worldly wealth?
After listening to the Taoist priest's analysis and the investigation of the city lord's mansion, the city lord suddenly realized.
Over the years, those who have knelt down to worship the Twin Stones and had their wishes come true seem to have changed. This is not unrelated to the connection they had with those red threads when they knelt down to worship the Twin Stones.
The Taoist priest analyzed: "This is a sign of life overflow. That is to say, through those red lines, the evil spirits in the twin stones slowly invade the soul of the kneeling person, and then gradually control the life of the kneeling person. It can be said that such a person has lost He has lost himself and is completely possessed by evil spirits.”
There were many loopholes in what the Taoist said, but the city lord believed it without any doubt. He was afraid that if things continued like this, the evil spirits would control the city within a thousand miles of Shuangshi City.
This is one of them.
More importantly, the Taoist priest said that there is a way to conquer the life body in the boulder and use it for one's own use. This is what he said is the secret of immortality.
The Taoist priest is very discerning, and he is indeed right about one thing.
There are indeed life forms in the twin stones, but these two life forms are definitely not evil spirits, and they will not make people immortal.
He was also right about another thing.
Those red lines are indeed the overflow of life from the life forms in the twin stones. The miraculous thing they seek is, in fact, those people whose destiny has been changed. However, the life overflow from these two life forms does not completely control these people. Hiding deep in the souls of these people, experiencing their lives, and occasionally giving them some pointers on a whim to make their lives more exciting.
For thousands of years, the twin stone lifeforms have seen too many changes in the world and the warmth and warmth of people. They can feel each other's existence, but they have never been able to meet each other. Even though they have penetrated the souls of many people, they still have no vision.
A long time ago, this place was a deserted land, and there was no such thing as Twin Stone City. The twin stones woke up from a state of ignorance and felt each other's existence at the same time.
They were unable to break through the shackles of the boulders, so they experienced wind, frost, snow and rain, day after day, year after year.
Finally one day, their lives began to
They were very happy when they began to overflow, thinking that one day they would be able to escape from the cage. However, they were disappointed. They could still only perceive each other, but could not see each other. Moreover, this kind of overflowing life could not extend too far.
They are still trapped.
Finally one day, someone built a city here.
Twin Rock City slowly developed and became more and more prosperous.
On every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, this overflowing life is extremely active. By chance, a young man and woman pray silently in front of the twin stones. The red thread unexpectedly connects their souls, thus changing their lives.
Kneel down and worship the two stones, and you will receive whatever you ask for. It was first said from the mouths of this young man and woman.
Since then, the two stones have become more and more deified, and the wishes of those who kneel down have been fulfilled one by one.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Shuangshi accepted everyone who came and did not make a choice at the beginning. They had been lonely for countless years, and when they discovered this kind of mystery, they naturally swept them away like they were hungry.
It wasn't until much later that they had a choice.
Those who kneel down and worship the Twin Stones and have a miraculous effect are naturally chosen by the Twin Stones, while those who do not have a miraculous effect are naturally given up by the Twin Stones.
However, even if Shuangshi gave up, these people still benefited a little bit due to the influence of the red line of life. At least, it gave them enough faith and extraordinary courage. Moreover, Shuangshi had no interest in participating in their lives. , but at a boring moment, through the induction of the red thread, they may also have some impact on their lives.
This is why the number of people who believe in men and women has never diminished for thousands of years.
The two stones are a cage, and the fact that they can trap two living beings in them proves their incomparable sturdiness.
For tens of thousands of years, it has been exposed to wind and frost, but has never been eroded in the slightest.
The skilled craftsmen hired by the city lord's palace were very talented. After hours of sweating, they could only peel off a small piece of stone skin.
Of course they won't give up.
A month later, they finally carved out a seven or eight-inch deep hole from the top of the twin rocks.
Over the past month, a group of onlookers have left and come again, and the number has never decreased. Seeing how difficult it is to break stones, they are gradually deeply shocked, and they feel more and more that the gods are inviolable, but they are powerless in front of the sword. Prevent.
On this day, the shelf had been set up, and nearly a hundred strong men hoisted the long boulders weighing 10,000 kilograms high. With an order, they let go at the same time, and the boulders of 10,000 kilograms quickly fell towards the two rocks on the top. A drill hit hard.
With a crackling sound, the boulder falling into pieces! But fortunately, the drill exposed outside the twin stones has been hammered into the twin stones.
Suddenly, red light shot into the sky!
"The gods have appeared!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people around him knelt on the ground.
The city lord and the Taoist priest looked at each other, feeling very excited.
Click, click...
The sound went from slow to fast, and finally with a shocking sound, the two rocks split apart at the same time.
Two red lights rushed into the sky and transformed into a man and a woman.
"God! God!"
The people around him kept kowtowing and no longer dared to look directly into the air.
"Taoist Master, it's up to you." The city lord said excitedly.
The Taoist priest nodded and was about to take action.
"We finally meet!"
In the air, the man and woman spoke at the same time. The sound seemed to come from the sky, it was ethereal, but everyone below could hear it clearly.
At this time, the men and women looked over at the same time and landed on the Taoist priest who was about to take action.
Two rays of red light poured down, quickly merged into one, and penetrated the Taoist priest's body like lightning.
The Taoist priest made no sound and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
The city lord was frightened, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees involuntarily.
Before the man and woman in the air could make any other moves, they were horrified to find that they had lost control of themselves.
The two flew towards each other, then slowly turned into two masses of red light, and finally merged into one.
A moment later, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the ball of light exploded, like bright fireworks blooming in the air.
Fireworks were like rain, covering the entire Twin Rock City.
In the blink of an eye, Shuangshi City turned into a sea of fire.
Screams came and went, and slowly returned to calm.
This is the fourth reincarnation of Ling Shi and Cheng Zhaoxue.
