Chapter 339 Calm as Water
The shaking of the mountains lasted for seven days. During the seven days, many mountains were razed to the ground, while other basins were uplifted into new mountains. Two big rivers in the Central Plains overflowed, flooding countless crops on both sides and killing countless casualties.
The four factions joined hands and were busy settling the disaster victims to deal with such a natural disaster. All they can do is to save them as much as possible. When everything finally settled, they sighed in the face of this devastated world.
"Alas!" Ji Yuan's whole body was covered with dust, and the mud on his face was even more. Before, he mainly took the minibus into the water to fish for people, living, dead, people, animals...
"What do you do with a sigh?" Jiang Hanye held his sleeves high and sat on the stone beside him to drink water. In the past few days, he took the disciples of the Blood Demon God Sect to settle the disaster victims and help them rebuild their homes. His hard work is definitely no less than that of Wanjian Villa.
"Look!" Ji Yuan pointed to the yellow mud soup below and said, "Why is the world so disaster-prone? Not long after the plague, the demon clan came again. Now the murderer has finally been caught, and the world has begun to shake again..."
Shizhen sat under the tree next to him. These days, as long as he had spare time, he would close his eyes and recite the Rebirth Mantra, surpassing those creatures who died in the earthquake. At this time, he opened his eyes and looked at Ji Yuan and said, "There is a fixed number of everything. Ji Zhuangzhu don't have to sigh like this. What we need to do now is to appease the living and find out the source of this disaster.
"What?" Ji Yuan looked at Shizhen in surprise, "What do you mean by this monk? Source?"
"Hmm!" Shi Zhen nodded, and he turned his eyes to Jiang Hanye next to him. After looking at him, he stopped talking.
Jiang Hanye brought a glass of water to his mouth, but he didn't drink this mouthful of water for a long time, because he heard Shi Zhen's words and saw Shi Zhen's eyes, as if he had something to tell everyone.
"I said monk, don't sell anything anymore. What does it mean? Tell us quickly!" Ji Yuan urged impatiently, "You know, this is life-threatening. Maybe if you say that there will be many more dead ghosts in the underworld for a moment!"
"Actually, I also saw this matter from an ancient book of this temple." Shi Zhen said, "Strictly speaking, that ancient book is not a Buddhist classic, but just a collection of a former predecessor. After the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion was destroyed, we began to sort out the books. It was the night before the earthquake that I found the book..."
"Oh?" Bai Rou's curiosity was also mobilized. She pulled Cen Ruoqiu forward and said to Shizhen, "Master Shizhen, I don't know what the name of that book is? What is recorded above?"
Cen Ruoqiu looked at Jiang Hanye. He was frowning and listening to everyone's dialogue carefully. From Jiang Hanye's eyes, Cen Ruoqiu saw the worry. She had never felt that worry and anxiety from Jiang Hanye, even at the most difficult time in the demon world before.
"Do you think the same thing as me?" Cen Ruoqiu said secretly.
Jiang Hanye seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked at Cen Ruoqiu. After looking at him, he turned his eyes to Shizhen.
"It's strange that this book has no name, and it's a handwritten manuscript." Shi Zhen said, "Because of the age, many ink stains have faded, but coincidentally, the page I saw is also the most complete page of ink stains. I am very interested in some strange things written on it. It is nothing else but the calendar."
"The calendar?" All people, including Jiang Hanye and Cen Ruoqiu, also asked at the same time, "What calendar?"
"The calendars we usually use are just based on the change of dynasties. Although these calendars look different, they all imply the same truth, that is, the sun and the moon run, but the calendar mentioned in this book seems to be different from what we call the calendar." Shi Zhen said, "It takes the stars as a reference and 3,000 years as an era. We are now in the tenth era. According to the calendar recorded in this book, this year is exactly the third year..."
"What?" Ji Yuan shouted, "What a strange calendar, so it has existed in the world for 30,000 years?"
" Already? I think it should be asked, has the world only existed for 30,000 years? White judo.
"That's how the little monk guessed." Shizhen added, "Maybe someone or a group of people who created this calendar are extremely smart, because this calendar is more exquisite and reasonable than what we use now. When those people existed, perhaps we had already experienced the creation of Pangu Emperor, but they appeared a little later, so the era began from the year they existed.
"Oh, but according to you, these people are just smarter than me. Is there nothing special?" Ji Yuan pondered.
"It's far from that." Shizhen shook his head slowly. He looked solemn and his eyes were heavy. After looking around, he said, "These people predicted the great disaster in more than 20,000 years, and according to the old monks in the temple and what I have heard and experienced in the past, these predictions are all accurate. What's more terrible is that they predict After talking about our disaster this time, and the calendar is the end of this year.
"What? According to your statement, we are in the final position in the world, right? I said, monk, it doesn't matter if you can eat this food indiscriminately. If you eat it wrong, you can get diarrhea at most... But you can't talk nonsense. You are responsible for it!" Ji Yuan said, "Just say this in front of us. At least we can calm down (in fact, he is the least calm one now), but if other disciples hear it, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen."
"There is no Amitabha in the south, and the monks don't talk nonsense." Shi Zhen recited the Buddha's name, "How can I joke about everyone's survival? Besides, I'm also a human, and I want to live in this world. What's the benefit for me to say that?"
Jiang Hanye habitually pinched his finger. He frowned and meditated. Although Shi really said so, subconsciously, Jiang Hanye always felt that this matter seemed to be a little strange and good. Why did he suddenly have an earthquake? Even if it is an earthquake, why did the whole world shake at the same time? There are too many questions that he can't answer.
......
"Keep fighting, we just need the war to continue." The person in the shadow said to Kan Cangyue.
"We are not fighting for you." Kan Cangyue said coldly, "I'm not for myself."
"Ha, no matter who you are, as long as the war continues." The people in the shadow laughed and said, "Now we have opened half of the way to the world, and the other half is under Luzhou..."
"What do you mean?" Kan Cangyue stood up and stared at the person in the shadow and asked, "What's wrong with the world?"
"No matter what happens, it's none of your business, right? Now that your brother is still in our hands, even if you are ruthlessly don't want him, your conscience can't let you go in the end, right? Otherwise, why did you come to me later?" The man smiled, "But don't worry, after this matter is done, there will be no less than your benefits. There is less than half a year left. Take care of yourself. By the way, if you think about it, when there are no monsters here, only the undead, isn't that kind of world beautiful for you?
......
The world has completely changed.
Kunlun Mountain no longer exists, and the whole Kunlun area has become a sea of ice, with huge ice floating everywhere, and the Blood Demon Palace and Xumi Mountain are like two isolated islands hanging on the ice. Jiang Hanye returned to the Blood Demon Palace, settled all his disciples, and was ready to leave here, wander around, and find clues by the way. This earthquake was really strange.
When he heard the words of Shizhen on the top of that day, Jiang Hanye felt a little wrong. If what is recorded in the book is true, that is to say, there is only half a year left in the world.
After the collapse of Kunlun Mountain, it is also good for Jiang Hanye, that is, it is much more convenient to move. In the past, because Kunlun Mountain was too high, martial artists could not control objects in most areas here, but now Jiang Hanye can easily control his magic weapon and wander around.
After flying for a moment, he felt that the water below seemed to fluctuate a little, so he landed from the air and stayed on the tip of the ice, staring at the water not far away.
Wang! Wow!
The turbulent sound of water waves kept coming from the surface of the water, causing Jiang Hanye to watch it, but he couldn't watch it for too long. The surface of the water is white, and after refracting the sunlight in the sky, it makes people's eyes very uncomfortable.
There is a dark green spot in the water in sharp contrast to the snow next to it. Maybe it's a tree? But this tree is a little strange. Jiang Hanye looked carefully and suddenly found that the spot was moving. As the distance between them got closer and closer, Jiang Hanye gradually saw the appearance of the spot. One head, four feet, and a thick shell on his back, he was slowly swimming from the distance with something.
"Brother Turtle?" Jiang Hanye was surprised, "Are you still alive? That's really great."
After the earthquake, Jiang Hanye followed the route in his memory to look for the place where he was trapped in the past. He was thinking about the safety of the turtle. Unfortunately, after the earthquake, there was a mess everywhere. The mountains and rivers could not turn into water. Where are the traces of turtles? I didn't expect to meet a turtle here, and Jiang Hanye's mood became clear in an instant. He flew over and said to the old turtle in mid-air, "Brother Turtle, here!"
After flying over the turtle, Jiang Hanye was surprised to find that there was nothing else on the turtle's back, but the skeleton in the secret room. At such a moment of life and death, the turtle still can't leave its original owner. Although the owner has been dead for many years, it can be seen that the turtle is a supreme spirit.
When the turtle in the water heard Jiang Hanye's call, he slowly raised his head to look at him, and then tried to paddle.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Hanye asked.
The turtle stopped, looked at Jiang Hanye and looked ahead, as if to tell him that it was going to take its owner to a place where they could live. However, probably because of fatigue, the turtle has never opened its mouth and chirped, and its shell is covered with crystal ice. The temperature in Kunlun Mountain after the earthquake reached an unprecedented low, and there was such a joke among the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect: "When you go out to pee, you must bring a heater, otherwise be careful to freeze while peeing."
Although that's an exaggeration, it shows that the temperature is low. I don't know how long the turtle has been swimming in the water. The skeleton has been frozen with its shell, which makes Jiang Hanye feel particularly uncomfortable.
"Brother Turtle, are you going to find a place to bury your master?" Jiang Hanye had already moved his mind to take in the turtle at this time, so he bowed his head and said to the turtle. The turtle is an animal. It is not even a monster. Naturally, it can't know what Jiang Hanye is talking about. However, it is also a spiritual animal. After listening to Jiang Hanye's words, its eyes blinked and shed two lines of turbid tears.
When Jiang Hanye saw this scene, his heart was sad and said to the turtle, "Brother Turtle, if you can trust me, come with me." After saying that, he flew slowly with the Xuanyuan sword, and the destination was the current Blood Demon Palace.
The turtle really turned its head and struggled to paddle behind Jiang Hanye.
When it comes to the Blood Demon Palace, Jiang Hanye sighed and didn't know who built the palace, whether it was Luo Xingyun or someone else? Anyway, the structure of the building is very ingenious and unique in location, not to mention the strength of the palace. After such two disasters, the Blood Demon God Palace has always stood still. However, due to the absence of the mountain where it is located, the Blood Demon God Palace has now become an isolated island floating on the ice sea. However, even so, it is still a safe haven for Jiang Hanye and thousands of blood demon disciples, and now Jiang Hanye wants to take this away from the wind. Hong Kong shared with the turtle and buried its owner next to the palace.
There is no objection to this huge thing brought back by the master, and everyone even likes it very much. Turtles belong to auspicious things, but all large sects must have their own auspicious things. In the past, the Blood Demon Palace did not have it, but it has been there since then.
The owner of the turtle was buried, and Jiang Hanye placed the turtle in a pond in the Blood Demon Palace. Looking at its finally smiling face, Jiang Hanye was glad that he met it halfway, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable. After all, the turtle was already too old.
In the evening, after dinner, Jiang Hanye sat under the lamp and prepared to copy out the Gude Sutra in his memory. This is a good ancient book, although the arguments in it seem a little ridiculous. This is what Jiang Hanye has always wanted to do, but during this period, the earthquake and the previous demon clan have made him a little big, and now he has time to copy it.
"Less words, less things, less food, less sleep..." Jiang Hanye looked at the ancient and modern predecessor's view on achieving eternal life, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling gently. "I've been so busy these days. It's really less words, less things, less food and sleeping less, but it's so Can you live a long life? Although his point of view is wrong, the other content is excellent.
Jiang Hanye talked about it, and kept copying the Good Book word by word from his memory. Suddenly, his heart was shocked and he said secretly, "So it is!"
Putting down the brush, Jiang Hanye frowned and walked back and forth in front of the table. His face turned crimson, which was a manifestation of his restless mood.
"Less words, less things, less food, less sleep..." Jiang Hanye kept repeating these four points. The truth seems to be only one step away from him, but he can't reach the other side of the truth.
Jiang Hanye simply closed his eyes and meditated in his heart. Suddenly, he felt a flash of light in his heart and said in surprise, "Yes, that's it! It turns out that the so-called less words, less, less food and less sleep, does not refer to not talking, doing things, not eating or sleeping, but not talking less, doing less, not eating and not eating, and not being greedy for comfort!"
This is still a big truth, but after understanding this truth, Jiang Hanye was very happy. Fourth, don't understand it thoroughly, and then contact some other points. Gradually, the views to be expressed in the "Gu Dejing" were clearly presented in front of Jiang Hanye, which made him have to admire Jia Lanye's wisdom, and even began to doubt the world's evaluation of him: a vicious and incomprehensive villain can write such a Is it a masterpiece?
"In any case, I want to pass on the Good Book, which is also suitable for Elder Jia Lanye." Jiang Hanye swore secretly in his heart.
He sat down and wrote another article. Unconsciously, it was late at night. After stretching his waist, Jiang Hanye stood up and moved his legs and feet, and from time to time looked down at the Good Book he had written. It didn't matter. His eyes flashed like a poor man who found gold falling from the sky.
"Thu Naqing, calm down..." Jiang Hanye looked at the formula of the Gude Sutra he wrote. Some of the cultivation methods described here are actually the same as other methods he has learned, implying the same truth, but it is a little different. Jiang Hanye believes that this is " The outstanding thing about the Gudejing is that in this book, Jia Lanye said the four words 'the mirror stops the water'.
Jiang Hanye knows that in Buddhism, the mirror and the spiritual platform refer to the human heart. If it is carded according to the understanding of the practitioners, this heart is also the mind. So isn't it enough to stop the water with a clear mirror? At first glance, it seems that there is some meaning of decadent abandonment, but Jiang Hanye does not understand it so. He believes that in Jialanye's view, it is not that people's hearts are like water, but that people's hearts are like water. The truths and variables contained in this are big, because the most changing thing in the world is this water.
