Song Ciwan heard a new keyword at the banquet: spiritual energy tide!
Her perspective is limited, and she often only understands things she has heard and seen. Judging from Daqingshen's tone, the theory of spiritual energy tides has been circulating for a long time in some aspects and is not a big secret.
But Song Ciwan had never been exposed to it before, so the moment she heard these four words, an exciting realization suddenly arose in her heart.
Sometimes, for people with sharp minds, they don’t need too many complete words, just a gentle beginning is enough to spread too much.
Song Ciwan's heart felt like a whirlpool was suddenly aroused by the collision of rapids. For a moment, it was full of ups and downs.
Some of the images that had flowed inadvertently in the past returned to her mind at this time, flying past her consciousness like a white horse passing through a gap.
For example, when she first came into contact with the demon refining platform, there were always people in the washing room who sighed: It has been very strange in recent years. There are more and more demons and more and more dead people. Alas!
In Jishanfang, the petty officials who were colleagues with Song Youde, the father of Song Dynasty, also died more and more...
When Song Ciwan was washing away demons, he touched the corpse of the demon with his hand and accidentally saw the scenes of those demons during their lifetime. Not to mention demons - the most common ones in the world are animal demons. Animals can become demons as long as the place they are in has abundant vitality and they practice more. Year, there is some blood in the ancestors, it is not too difficult from the base point of view.
When alien objects become demons, they are truly illusory.
But there are indeed more and more demons in the world.
For example, the first foreign object demon that Song Ciwan washed away: a clepsydra from a watchman.
How did the clepsydra become a demon?
Oh, it seems that it is because it is contaminated with too much messy energy in the mortal world, such as greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire... The human heart is endless, and the clepsydra has become a demon.
At that time, Song Ciwan had just come into contact with these things, and thought that it was normal for objects to become demons, and there was nothing strange about them.
After all, they are only extremely low-level monsters, which can cause harm to mortals who are weak in body and weak-minded. However, if it is replaced by someone with a stronger will, even a child with full spirit, such low-level monsters will not be able to affect them. .
Therefore, Song Ciwan in the past ignored all these.
She regarded abnormal things as normal, and later gradually realized that monsters should not be common in the mortal world.
If monsters become common, there is usually only one reason: trouble is coming!
When chaos comes from heaven, disasters will inevitably occur.
Another example is the dragon girl transforming into a monster at the bottom of the Bibo Lake, the strange departure at the foot of Hanqiu Mountain, the frequent occurrence of strange changes in Huanming City, the secret realm of fairies outside Pinglan City...
No, those secret realms of the spiritual world are no longer exclusive to Pinglan City, but are now common throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty and are blooming everywhere!
Song Ciwan's mind turned over and over again, and all kinds of confusions suddenly came to light at this moment: It turned out that it was because of the tide of spiritual energy!
She came to a big world.
Or perhaps, it was precisely because of the tide of spiritual energy that Song Ciwan was able to awaken the wisdom of his previous life and find another path in a desperate situation.
Thinking about the appearance of the scales of heaven and earth again, Song Ciwan felt a sense of the rotation of fate and the overwhelming momentum in his heart.
Regarding the scale of heaven and earth, although Song Ciwan accepted it well from the beginning, she had no doubts about this baby - actually she was not.
Song Ciwan had his conjectures, doubts, and worries.
She just quickly found a logical self-consistency: In the original Song Ciwan, both his parents died and he was reduced to a laundry room, but in fact he had nothing.
She had nothing at that time, but she suddenly awakened to the wisdom of her previous life, and obtained the scale of heaven and earth out of thin air, a stunning artifact that jumped out of the three realms and five elements. For Song Ciwan at that time, the scale of heaven and earth was not only an adventure, but also the only life-saving straw.
People can doubt many things, but they cannot doubt the one who saves lives in desperate situations.
The reason is very simple, because once you leave the one and only, the person in desperate situation will be swallowed up by the desperate situation.
How can a person talk about the future if his present will soon be gone?
Even if the life-saving straw at this time is poisonous, you must eat it!
Fortunately, it seems that the scale of heaven and earth is not only non-toxic, but also a real super-personal artifact.
Even if Song Ciwan had doubts, he would definitely hold it firmly.
She will do everything she can to grow. Seek your own way, be firm in your beginnings, and keep walking on the path you want to take.
Until a certain moment, you may encounter obstacles, then you will overcome obstacles and ride the wind and waves.
If you die as a martyr, you will have no regrets!
The Zuowang Heart Sutra circulated in Song Ciwan's body, quietly and without any sense of existence. In her sea of consciousness, the phantom word "Tao" shone brightly, as if it had a special charm at this moment.
She was sitting there, seemingly unchanged, but there seemed to be something different about her.
Da Qingshen, who was eloquently pointing out the situation in front of him, suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Song Ciwan with a strange look.
At this time, if Song Ciwan had enough mind-reading skills to see through the gods, he would probably be able to hear the Daqing God mutter secretly: There is no reason in heaven, I just said a word casually, why does this genius of the human race seem to have achieved enlightenment? Similar? What did she realize? How could she just realize it so easily?
Da Qingshen was holding his breath in his heart and could not express it in words.
As the primates of all things, the human race is just born with intelligence. Some of the most talented people among them are often so intelligent that they irritate other races.
Why?
Just rely on God's love?
Although Da Qingshen liked Song Ciwan to praise Xiao Qingshen with her, at this moment... she was still so angry, so angry!
Next to Song Ciwan, the scales of heaven and earth suddenly appeared, receiving a ball of energy: [Spiritual Thought, the jealousy, confusion, and resentment of the Qingping Mountain God, the Feiling-level righteous god, can be sold for twenty-two-five cents. 】
Song Ciwan:...
what happened?
I just sat here quietly as an audience without saying a word, so why did I arouse the jealousy and resentment of Da Qingshen?
Although it is said that the weight of this jealousy and resentment is very light, it is only worth two or five dollars.
For a moment, Song Ciwan really couldn't cry, couldn't laugh, couldn't laugh or cry, couldn't laugh or cry.
She even had to keep her original expression on her face and not reveal any other meaning.
It can only be said that in this world, not only the hearts of people and monsters are unpredictable, but the hearts of gods are also very unpredictable!
Feiling-level righteous gods, even though they are righteous gods, are not completely deified. They still have seven emotions and six desires, and the tendency to love and evil. Song Ciwan even felt that the temperament of this Daqing God was more humane than some "people".
Song Ciwan was deep in thought, his face expressionless.
Daqingshen adjusted her emotions very quickly. She mentioned the spiritual energy tide and pointed to other people in the big garden:
"The Chuzhou Zhang family has been very active in recent years. Recently, there have been many secret realms in the spiritual world in Kyushu. People from the Chuzhou Zhang family have participated in it. After they came out, they spread the word about the benefits of golden elixir. It is said that there are quite a lot of people in their clan. Several masters have obtained white jade-level foundation-building elixirs, and now not only have they succeeded in building foundations, they have even cultivated golden elixirs!"
Daqingshen's tone seemed a bit like watching the excitement.
When Song Ciwan heard this, he was shocked on the one hand by Zhang's frequent practice of cultivating golden elixirs in Chuzhou, and on the other hand he thought about it even more.
She pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision. She directly asked Daqingshen: "Chuzhou Zhang family... Excuse me, sister Qingshen, our Dazhou only has nine states. Where did these Chuzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, etc. come from? Coming?"
Song Ciwan actually wanted to ask, the so-called Chuzhou Zhang family, Bingzhou Li family, Youzhou Liu family, etc., are they... human beings?
But some questions can be asked directly, and some don't need to be asked directly.
Da Qingshen didn't seem surprised that Song Ciwan asked this question, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
After a moment, Daqing Shen turned slightly towards Song Ciwan, lowered his voice to her, and pretended to be mysterious: "The Humanity Dynasty, the unified Kyushu, has only been more than seven hundred years ago. Sister Song, you are young and you are from Kyushu. , I have only seen Kyushu and not other states, so it’s not surprising that I don’t know these things.”
Song Ciwan nodded, pretending to be listening attentively, and even looked at Da Qingshen with a pair of eyes that revealed a thirst for knowledge.
Who can resist such a pair of eyes that sincerely seek knowledge?
At least Daqingshen can't.
Not only was she unable, she even felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart at this moment: Look, so what if you are the genius of the human race? Don’t you still have to seek knowledge from me, the little mountain god, in the end?
Daqing Shen no longer pretended to be a bluff, she was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and said: "Little sister, I don't know something. Today's Dazhou is only more than 700 years old, hey...it doesn't count. Going forward, The last spiritual energy tide was really vast and endless."
When Song Ciwan heard her sigh, she couldn't help but feel excited that the mystery of the ancient era was about to be unveiled.
I wonder how old this mountain god of Qingping Mountain is? Today's Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 700 years, but in Da Qingshen's words, it is only "a mere 700 years"!
Does she know about the last spiritual energy tide?
So, does she also know the secret of the golden elixir? Do you know about the collapse of Jianmu? Do you know the infinite horrors that exist in the heaven above and in the world beyond?
Song Ciwan complimented her at the right moment and asked softly: "The last spiritual energy tide?"
Daqingshen got an audience who could respond appropriately, and he immediately said "Hey": "Isn't it right? In the last spiritual energy tide, there were forty-eight states in the world. However, not all of these forty-eight states belonged to the human race, among which Most areas are populated by both human beings and monsters.”
Song Ciwan asked doubtfully: "Nowadays...aren't humans and monsters also living together?"
Daqingshen immediately covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Song is young. Do you think that monsters, which are not uncommon in Da Zhou today, are humans and monsters living together? Haha, what is this called human beings living together? Real human beings and monsters living together. , that is, humans govern a city, and monsters govern a city. How can it be like today's Great Zhou Dynasty, where the court is the law of heaven and the human race has absolute dominance?"
According to Da Qing Shen, although mortals are often harmed by demons in the world, and even many monks with cultivation often end up dying on the way to subjugate demons, but even so, according to Da Qing Shen's statement Said that in Kyushu, the human race still has an absolute advantage.
Such a miserable world, in the eyes of Daqing God, can actually be regarded as a prosperous age of humanity that has not happened in thousands of years!
This can only be said that the perspective of gods looking at the world can never be the same as that of human beings.
In other words, Daqingshen believes that today's Dazhou is an unprecedented era of humane prosperity - this is the mainstream concept in the world.
As for people like Song Ciwan who often see how difficult people's livelihood is, they are in the minority.
Song Ciwan silently recorded this in his mind, and then asked: "Then, sister Qingshen, why did the former forty-eight states become nine states now?"
Daqing Shen said: "There is a spiritual energy tide that occurs once every eight thousand years. When the tide reaches its lowest point, it will be like what it was thirty or forty years ago. Monsters are also pure, and demons are also pure. Even mountain elves like us are also purified. Speaking of which, I’m not afraid of your jokes, sister. If I hadn’t been enshrined by the imperial court in the past few years, your sister and I would have been so weak that we would have fallen asleep in the Qingping Mountain."
Song Ciwan asked doubtfully: "Weak?"
Da Qing Shen sighed: "Yes, seven thousand years ago, after the last wave of spiritual energy reached its highest peak, it continued to decline until it reached its lowest point forty years ago. Sister Song was born late. , but I don’t know how miserable we elves lived forty years ago.”
She once again mentioned "we elves", which Song Ciwan could understand.
Although most of the so-called mountain gods were the result of the imperial court recruiting local monsters and canonizing them as mountain gods according to the emperor's decree, so that they had certain powers to protect their neighbors. However, such mountain gods were often not real mountain gods.
The real mountain god is the spirit accompanying the mountains and rivers, and naturally has the authority to control the local area.
Whether it is adjusting the local feng shui or receiving local incense offerings, it is not a problem.
Even from a certain perspective, the real mountain god is not only similar to the mountain and river becoming a spirit, but also like the mountain and river giving birth to a son. In short, to put it simply: he is a true direct descendant.
It was completely different from the Wild God of Tianlong Mountain that Song Ciwan had come into contact with before.
Even if the imperial court does not confer him a title, he is still a righteous god.
If the imperial court canonizes someone, it will be a blessing for the country.
Of course, once these mountain gods accept the imperial canonization, they will also bring reinforcement and feedback to the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is a win-win situation. Basically, the imperial court will not let any righteous god refuse to be canonized, and no righteous god will refuse the imperial court's canonization.
There is no doubt that the Daqing God in front of him is a mountain god of this nature.
Putting it this way, it's no wonder that Da Qing Shen always says "Sister, you are young".
After all, she is a mountain spirit and is born from the mountains. One can only imagine how old her life span can be. In her opinion, let alone Song Ciwan who was in his twenties, he was still a young man even if he had been in the Zhou Dynasty for more than 700 years!
Song Ciwan said: "So, the real rising tide of spiritual energy actually started forty years ago?"
Daqing Shen said: "Yes, it has been rising for forty years, and now there is finally some climate. But my sister, don't worry, it takes at least a thousand years for each round of spiritual energy to rise to its peak. After that, it will take seven thousand years. It will slowly fall, keep falling and falling, until it reaches the lowest point."
