The eight pavilion masters discussed on the spot for a while and decided on a strategy on how to publicize 'Emperor's Past' as quickly as possible.
Before they had time to report in front of His Majesty the Human Emperor, Shen Nong's Taoist charm pushed them out of the attic and stared at them outside the door.
"Tsk," Liu Bairen sighed softly with his hands behind his hands, "The new generation is better than the old one."
"Come on," an old woman laughed and scolded, "you are the most trusted by His Majesty among us. Wuwu now shoulders a heavy responsibility. If we listen to what His Majesty talked to him, we would have gone beyond."
"Not bad," Feng Yezi glanced at the two figures sitting opposite each other in the attic, and took the initiative to close the wooden door.
He said slowly: "The general trend of the world is already thundering, and no one knows where it will evolve next. Fellow Taoists and poor Taoists shoulder the responsibility of protecting the human realm, and they should go all out."
"good."
"Hey, is it possible that Your Majesty and Wu Huanzi are discussing how to kill the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Is Emperor Kuang stupid? He will always have a counterattack when the situation goes wrong. A fierce battle will definitely be inevitable."
"If we can put an end to these grudges in our generation, and let future generations enjoy happiness, then you and I will not live in vain."
Several old men chuckled a few times, with longing in their eyes.
Within the barrier opened by Shennong...
"have you eaten?"
Wu Wan asked casually, his eyes a little lost.
"Eat," Shennong replied, stroking his beard, "grilled fish and rice."
"How's your appetite?"
“No food is wasted, all is put into the belly.”
"That's good," Wu Wang sat cross-legged on the futon, leaning back, with his hands on the bamboo mat, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Maybe next time we meet, I will be praised by Emperor Kuang as the Emperor of Heaven. It’s in place.”
"He wants to use you to integrate the power of the human realm and the heavenly palace, so that he can consume each other with Zhulong."
Shennong said warmly:
"Simplify things as much as possible, and you will find that the preparation we need to make is actually how to kill the Zhulong and still have enough power to deal with the Emperor."
"There is a chance of winning," Wu Wang said, "Old senior, don't worry too much, I still have a few backups that are useless."
Shennong looked at Wu Wan, as if he wanted to see through the young man in front of him.
Soon, Shennong smiled and said: "Sometimes I really feel that you are the reincarnation of an ancient god."
"The reincarnation of the ancient god," Wu Huan sighed lightly, "I would like to suddenly transform into a divine body that is powerful enough to ignore the threat of the candle dragon. Unfortunately, my backup will come from the future."
"oh?"
Shennong frowned slightly.
Wu Wan just shook his head, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Shen Nong calmly changed the topic: "I want you to come back this time, actually to encourage you, because I am afraid that you will be held hostage by Emperor Kuang and fall into his trap step by step."
"What trap?" Wu Wan raised his hand and pinched his nostrils.
"The two former emperors Suiren and Fuxi were helpless," Shennong said. "They killed Emperor Kuang, the order collapsed, and Zhulong returned."
"Senior, what are you thinking at this time..."
"Kill Emperor Kuang," Shennong whispered, "No matter whether Zhulong will return or not, I will deal with Emperor Kuang, and you will deal with Zhulong."
Wu Wang glared.
Shennong chuckled and said, "This is very reasonable, isn't it?"
"How can I beat this?"
However, Shennong smiled and said nothing, thinking about those hexagrams in his heart, and said slowly: "Just try your best. If you fight hard once, it is better than waiting to die slowly."
Wu Wang said: "If you lose, you will suffer infamy."
"If we lose," Shennong said, "will anyone be able to scold us?"
"Hiss—it really makes sense," Wu Wan gave a thumbs up, "You are still better, senior."
"Okay, I know you can't stay long."
Shen Nong took out a gourd in his sleeve that was familiar and impressive to Wu Wan. Wu Wan's expression changed at that time.
"Let's forget about drinking. Let's...seniors, I think drinking can easily cause trouble, and riding on clouds can easily lead to falling into a ditch!"
"This is the introduction. I have been letting you drink it before to let you get used to the stamina of this kind of wine so that you won't pour it down after just one glass."
Shen Nong took a porcelain cup and poured half a cup of the light green Taoist wine into it.
Then, the old man moved somewhat slowly and blew into his fingers. A ball of orange flame burst out from his fingertips. The flame was sent into the porcelain cup and immediately enveloped the wine.
At this moment, Wu Wan seemed to be in a noisy downtown, hearing people's laughter, joys and sorrows, and feeling the Taoist charm that had lived in his body for a long time.
The Taoist rhyme of Xinhuo.
"Drink, and meet the founder of our human domain over wine. You are the third human being to have this opportunity."
Wu Wang hesitated slightly.
It's not that he doesn't trust the old Shennong, it's just that he's afraid of making a fool of himself after getting drunk.
That's all, after all, I still have to call the old man "father-in-law" and drink it!
Wu Wan took a deep breath, sat up straight, held the wine glass in both hands, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
The fire had no temperature, but the wine felt like a knife cutting into the throat.
A ball of flame exploded in Wu Wan's chest, and his soul was immediately wrapped in the flames. His vision was shaking, as if he couldn't feel where his body was, and he felt dizzy, as if he had broken into a dream.
Shennong's voice sounded, guiding him through the distorted light and into a dark cave.
"Remain true to yourself, have no joy and gain, return to your original self, and get a glimpse of the ancient beauty."
Shennong's voice gradually disappeared. Wu Wan closed his eyes and opened them. His vision was blurry, but his vision was not obstructed and quickly became clear.
He was in a dark cave, lying on a bed covered with a foot-wide leaf. There were traces of moisture around his mouth, indicating that he had been fed water.
There is a bonfire not far away on the left, and a rickety figure is sitting beside the bonfire, throwing a piece of dry wood into the fire.
A voice came slowly from near to far, using a tone that Wu Wan could not understand, but Wu Wan understood the meaning of these syllables in his heart.
"woke up?"
Wu Wan was just thinking about whether to respond when a syllable came out of his mouth, which was "um".
"Come and warm yourself by the fire," the old man beside the campfire whispered, "Everyone is asleep, don't wake them up."
Then 'himself' started to move.
Wu Wan knew clearly that he was experiencing a memory at the moment, from the perspective of the owner of this memory.
The young man soon sat next to the old man, lowering his head and playing with a pair of straw sandals.
"We will be able to reach a safe place tomorrow. It is a valley where many tribesmen live. Lord Vulcan's anger has never fallen there. We will have food."
"What did I eat?" 'Self' asked.
"venison."
“Where can I find deer?”
"It's dried venison. Several tribesmen exchanged themselves with the eagles. The eagles brought us enough dried venison for the rest of the journey," the old man said without raising his head. "It's in the corner, you can go and take a look." .”
The boy didn't move, just looked down at the crackling bonfire.
"Where's my sister?" he asked.
The old man said calmly: "She was starving to death. She couldn't hold on until the food came."
The young man silently clenched his fists, looked at the scratches on his arms, and pursed his lips slightly.
The screen shook slightly, and the road behind this young man was slowly revealed in front of Wu Wan.
This is a tribe with only a few hundred people. They walk along the river in the wettest area possible.
There are some ferocious birds hovering in the sky, and the ground is full of dry cracks. Although they are said to be rivers, in fact, from a distance, there are only hair-like silver ribbons left. When you look up, you can always see volcanoes emitting black smoke.
This is Nanye, the Nanye ruled by the ancient fire god.
Wu Wan sighed in his heart, now he also knew the identity of the young man.
Suiren.
The pictures continued to flow, and Wu Huan seemed to be experiencing the life of the old emperor. Various pictures reminded Wu Huan of the time when he and Yun Zhongjun were dreaming about peering into the sky.
This is so similar to Tianwai.
Living beings are at the bottom of the world, and the quality of their living environment depends on the character and temperament of those gods. Therefore, on the same land, the territories of different gods will have completely different situations.
Nanye's tragic situation was only because the ancient Vulcan was too powerful.
There are many scenes here that Wu Wan has come across before.
The young man, who was weak from excessive blood loss, struggled to follow the team, but when they reached their destination, they found that it had become a scorched earth.
Tribesmen continued to die, and those who survived tried their best to find an area where they could settle down.
Finally, after more than ten years of the most difficult days, the tribe with only more than 30 people left stabilized and began to work hard to reproduce.
But the Vulcan God's will was carried everywhere by the hawks - fire is a thing of the gods, and all fires in the world belong to the Vulcan God. It is a blasphemy to the Vulcan God for any living being to be contaminated by fire.
If there is no fire, there will be no meat.
Unable to withstand the cold wind at night, unable to drive away those equally hungry beasts.
And finally one day, Suiren took out two branches, sharpened one end and pressed it into the gap of the other wood. He filled it with hay leaves and slowly grinded out a flame.
'This is not the flame given by Lord Vulcan, this is the flame given by the God of Wood. '
Suiren explained in this way, and the Yingren could not attack.
As a result, small tribes began to use fire, and thus began to develop rapidly.
Disaster still struck.
The God of Fire noticed the way the friction between grass and trees produced flames. He roared angrily, cursing, "God of Wood, you have crossed the line," while scattering endless meteorites, nearly blasting Nanye to pieces.
Wu Wan also knew what happened next.
Suiren was tied up and brought to Vulcan by Yingren. He was flicked away by Vulcan's finger and finally fell into the sea water.
But what happened when Suiren fell into the sea, Wu Juan only found out today.
It's a ball of mud.
The ball of mud was lying quietly on the bottom of the shallow sea. It was hit by Suiren's falling figure. The mud seemed to come to life, wrapping Suiren and slowly pulling it into the white sand on the seabed.
At this moment, Wu Wan felt an extremely close yet unfamiliar aura.
He, or rather Suirenshi, heard the brisk song.
During the song, Suiren saw a beautiful woman with the body of a snake's tail, wearing a garland of flowers, walking on the ground, feeling something, looking for something, and with a bit of a smile, she sat down in front of a quagmire and squeezed a few A clay figure breathed out a sigh of relief.
The clay figurine came to life and began to run and jump.
The woman was deep in thought, and began to comprehend, think, and make clay figurines. This process lasted for a long time. Then she seemed to have understood something. She took a willow branch, dipped it in ordinary soil, and shook it out. After picking up mud dots one by one, these mud dots turned into human figures, running and laughing on the ground.
A piece of mud fell into the sea because it was thrown too far. The power of creation remained on it, but it did not turn into a human figure.
This is where 'Nidian' explains its origin to Suirenshi.
This is also the secret why the Suiren clan started to become stronger.
The mud dots not only contain the remaining secrets of the Great Way of Creation, but also contain many of Nuwa's insights when she created humans, as well as the entire process of how the human race was formed.
The soil is not the key, it is just the carrier of the five elements.
The key is the process of 'generating consciousness'; starting from nothing, but having traces to follow, is the resonance of the path of life, and is also the evolution from [thing] to [living].
The Spirit of the Great Dao was born from the Great Dao, claiming to be a god, and is close to the original power of heaven and earth;
The innate spirit is born from all things, is the spirit of all things, and is the extension of [thing] to [living].
Suiren felt that there seemed to be an invisible net between heaven and earth. This net trapped many muddy consciousnesses that wanted to be revealed between heaven and earth...
'This is the spirit. '
Then, Suiren embarked on a journey to find the spirit, feel the spirit, and improve his own spirit.
He roamed the seabed, lived on those islands, communicated with the wise men of life, and his footprints spread from the south of Nanye to the east of Dongye.
Suiren saw all kinds of creatures and encountered feelings that made him nostalgic, but he never stopped because he would eventually return to that scorched land.
The power of life becomes more and more powerful.
The aftertaste of the Great Way of Creation has benefited Suiren endlessly.
After a thousand years, Suiren still maintained the appearance of a young man. During a search for spirits, he stepped into an ancient but broken moving formation and broke into another god's territory.
The movement array is one-way.
In this way, the Suiren clan entered the outer world.
Wu Wan seemed to be reading a story, using the Suiren family's perspective to feel the Suiren family's path forward.
The initial difficulty, the soaring and rising after getting the clay point of creation, and the joy of constantly feeling the existence of the spirit... all shocked Wu Wang's Taoist heart, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
Perhaps because he left his hometown, Suiren's journey to the outer world was no longer boring, and the pace of the story became brisk.
There are also humans outside the sky.
Nuwa's creation of human beings and her understanding of the great path of life took place at the end of the Third Age of Gods, after which the human race began to flourish and hundreds of races gradually appeared.
Later, the Zhulong rose and entered the Fourth Age of Gods.
Although the Fourth Age of Gods was short-lived, it was a critical period for the vigorous development of living beings. Zhulong did not care about living beings at all. He was thinking about how to devour other powerful gods every day. He thought in his heart that I was invincible, but he was secretly manipulated by Emperor Kuang. Lian Heng was finally driven away to the outer world by the combined efforts of the gods.
When Zhulong left, the gods took away many creatures - after all, the gods were already used to the service of these slaves.
The outer world is an extension of the Fourth Age of Gods, but the candle dragons constantly attack the seals of the heaven and the earth, making the sun and the moon unstable, and there are also periodic 'spiritual tides' between the heaven and the earth.
Every time Zhulong hit the seal of heaven and earth and suffered a bloody head, the land outside the world entered a period of relatively abundant spiritual energy.
And every time Zhulong rests and recovers his strength, the aura of Tianwai Land begins to fade, but the magnitude of the fade is not great.
When the Suiren clan broke into this place, they already had considerable strength; and since Tianwai was less covered by the Avenue of Order, it was easier to get close to all kinds of avenues.
As a result, Suiren's strength began to soar rapidly, and the mud dot gradually ran out of aura.
Sui Ren was in Tianwai, and they fought all the way. From the little gods in Tianwai to Zhulong's trusted generals, Sui Ren beat them all one by one.
There was no such thing as reinvention in the outer world, not to mention that the Emperor of the inner world had not yet completely built the divine court at that time.
When a god dies, the gods become afraid.
Zhulong even fell into a deep sleep because the last attack on the seal of heaven and earth was too exciting.
The Suiren clan gathered hundreds of creatures together, taught them how to feel the existence of spirits, and left the seeds of practice outside the sky, telling them that creatures can become stronger on their own, and that gods only have innate advantages.
There is no essential difference between spirit and spirit, and the existence of oppression is unreasonable.
A vigorous rebellion of creatures began outside the sky, and many gods were involved. The Suiren clan continued to challenge the gods, all the way to Zhulong...
Really a strong man descended from heaven.
There is a saying that Wu Wang saw his mother's figure from the perspective of the Suiren boss, and she was actually so gorgeous and unparalleled.
I also saw the figure of my grandfather, which turned out to be a 'water polo' with a human face. He indeed looked very gentle.
In addition, he also saw many powerful gods under Zhulong's tent - they should be at the level of thunderstorm gods.
It's a pity that the Suiren clan was still no match for Zhulong at that time, but Zhulong couldn't defeat the Suiren clan for a while.
The fierce battle between the two broke open a gap in the seal of heaven and earth. When Suiren was seriously injured, he got into the gap and jumped back into the world openly, and luckily appeared in Beiye.
Star God is seriously injured.
After Suiren recovered from his injuries in Beiye, he secretly returned to Nanye and began to accumulate strength.
At this time, the Suiren clan's understanding of spirituality had reached a level close to its essence; this fierce man who dared to tear the candle dragon apart finally did something that had a profound impact on the pattern of heaven and earth.
Kill the Vulcan!
The war between the Suiren clan and Tiangong began. With that vigorous era, land was opened up for the human domain, the human race gathered together, and the methods of understanding the spiritual path were taught.
Similarly, Wu Huan also understood why the method of cultivation in the human realm was only suitable for the human race, and most of the other races were not suitable.
That's because the human race was born on the great road of creation, and most of the hundreds of races were 'forced to evolve' from innate beings.
Several aspects of the cultivation method in the human realm originate from the clay points of creation and secretly coincide with the avenues of creation. This gives the monks in the human realm the opportunity to get close to the avenues between heaven and earth and form their own path.
war; war
Endless battles.
The army of creatures from the Heavenly Palace continues to move southward;
There were gradually more people around Suiren.
The Human Realm took shape... The Human Realm began to prosper, the heavenly gods began to retreat, and the Southern Wilderness became a paradise for living creatures.
But all of this came to an abrupt end when Suiren lowered his head and vomited blood while inspecting various places.
The war overdrawn the Suiren clan.
The gods feed on the beliefs of living beings and control the road innately; the Suiren clan suffered too many impacts in the early days of the human domain, and the despicable innate gods set a curse on the Suiren clan and the human race.
In ancient times, the human race had a life span of three thousand, but was suppressed to a life span of five hundred.
The masters of the human domain who have gained the recognition of the Tao and become strong have been put on layer after layer of shackles by that handsome male god.
——That was the beginning of Da Siming’s backlash from the great road.
Then, the Heavenly Punishment came out of nowhere, and when the powerful in the human realm became immortals and achieved extraordinary things, they would be directly intercepted and killed by the Heavenly Punishment in the Heavenly Palace.
This scene, unfolded in front of Wu Juan from Suiren's perspective, made Wu Juan feel the anger and depression.
The Suiren clan decided to go on a northern expedition and fought against Tiangong to the death.
The army advanced rapidly, and everyone in the human realm fought a decisive battle with the gods with a death wish. However, when the battle reached the most critical moment, the Suiren family still had the last breath of energy to hold on and rushed to the front of the Tiangong.
Di Kuang appeared.
"You want to fight me to the death, but my strength is not as good as Zhulong, so I might be dragged to death by you.
But Suiren, look, what is this? "
Rings appeared at Di Kuang's feet, and hundreds of rings stacked up to form a seal, which was the seal of heaven and earth.
Di Kuang stood quietly in the core area of the seal.
Suiren eventually retreated.
Emperor Kuang gave him many promises, including that heaven's punishment would become a heavenly catastrophe, leaving vitality for the strong in the human realm, that the Heavenly Palace would recognize the rationality of the human realm's existence, and that Nanye be allocated to the human realm... and so on.
Those conditions sounded so wonderful, the surrender of gods to living beings.
But Suiren knew very well that after his death, the Heavenly Palace army would be like a tsunami, completely engulfing the human realm.
On the way back from the human domain army, Suiren's last breath was about to disappear. A skinny figure sat by a creek, with scarred people standing behind him.
"My strength is gone."
Sui Ren said.
"Di Kuang is not trustworthy. He does not have the self-control of the Emperor of Heaven. He can easily go back on his words to achieve his goals.
After my death, the Heavenly Palace will do everything possible to level the human realm.
I can't keep guarding you anymore. Most of you will die, including your family and friends.
But I thought of a way to protect the human realm... Come here and take my flames. "
Suiren whispered, and his trembling palm, with only a layer of old skin left, pulled out a ball of flame. The flame trembled slightly and turned into flames.
The people around him remained silent as they walked past Suiren one by one and took away the flames.
"These are the seeds of fire. I have tied the avenue of original fire to my spirit.
By holding these flames...you have a chance to gain my power.
When I close my eyes, I will scatter my last spirit in the world of Nanye, and I will stay beside every clan member.
If any of you can understand the mystery inside these flames, you will be able to feel my presence.
Don’t rely on the power I left behind, don’t regard me as a god, don’t give up your hard-earned faith… you must think about… surpassing me…”
Suiren sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.
The last image was of a little starlight quickly scattering in his blurred vision.
Wu Huan's eyes gradually fell into darkness, and he felt helpless, lonely and self-blame, and that self-blame finally turned into a sigh.
"come back."
Wu Wan opened his eyes, and in front of him was Shennong's old face. The light and shadow around him shook a little. As he shook his head, his perception had completely returned to normal.
"Carefully understand the memory of the late emperor's battle with those gods, as well as the various insights he gained while practicing."
Shennong said slowly: "This is the secret that the Human Emperor can resist the Heavenly Palace as long as he is born. Without the blessing of Xinhuo Dao, how much you can comprehend depends on you."
