Shennong Valley is located in the center of Shennongjia. It is also the place where several scientists disappeared. I accidentally mentioned this matter while chatting. Chang Qingzi lamented that all the scientists fell into the swamp of thousands of people. When Qu Wen asked why they did not rescue them, Chang Qingzi said that this was the rule of the sect for thousands of years. Unless someone from the same way came to visit, he would only If you can sit back and ignore it, not letting outsiders know about the existence of Shennong Valley will bring unnecessary trouble to the entire sect.
At first, I thought this rule was unsatisfactory, but when I thought about it more deeply, I really couldn¡¯t blame Shennong Valley for this, because venturing into the dense forest was inherently dangerous, and it was not someone else¡¯s fault that they fell into the swamp. If the people from Shennong Valley rescued them, what should they do with them? If they stay in the valley, they will suffer from homesickness all day long, or if they go back to the world and tell what they have seen and heard, they will cause unnecessary trouble to the valley.
After all, the traditional Chinese longing for deified messengers can make a large group of people flock to it. Even if they come to the entrance of the valley where they cannot find it, a large group of people surrounding the valley all day long will inevitably affect the life inside the valley. So the best way is to ignore it. If you don't have that ability, don't come to the dense forest valley.
After listening to Chang Qingzi¡¯s explanation, Qu Wen asked again: ¡°Senior Chang Qingzi, aren¡¯t you afraid that I will leak the secrets of the valley when I return?¡±
Chang Qingzi smiled faintly: "First of all, this is a rule in the sect. Friends who come to visit must be treated with tea. Furthermore, the entrance to the valley changes regularly, and only the disciples in the valley know how to enter the valley at different times. In addition, with your identity, you are afraid of going outside. I won¡¯t talk nonsense, and you have to be believed by someone. I am also a person from the secular world. How could I not know the character of people in the secular world? They will always be suspicious of mysterious and bizarre things. If you say it with your mouth, they will only believe it. I will treat you as a monster first.¡±
Qu Wen followed and smiled. And indeed it is. Human beings will always be suspicious of things that are not proven, and even worse, they will kill each other because of it. Just as Galileo supported the Copernican theory in order to explore the truth and was regarded as a heretic by the religions of the time. It was not until many years after his death that people recognized his great achievements. What is even more ironic is that three hundred years later, at the Synod of the World Bishops, the Pope of Rome Proposed to reopen the Galileo case and overturn the verdict of Galileo. Although this is a typical case of science overturning religious superstition, who can prove that the so-called superstition is really superstition.
Seeing Quwen thoughtfully, Changqingzi continued: "Everyone in the world thinks that cultivators are immortals and gods. In fact, cultivators are just a group of people who work hard to transcend themselves and transcend the world. Because cultivators are powerful, they are regarded as gods. Those reincarnations are actually limited to those who have reached a certain level of cultivation and have extraordinary abilities."
These words made Qu Wen suddenly realize that ever since he met Master Zhutou, he always thought that there were real gods and ghosts in the world, but he never thought that these gods and gods were a group of strong men who transcended themselves. This can be explained from a scientific perspective. According to the analysis of many scientists around the world, the brain development rate of ordinary humans is only 3% to 5%, and that of smart people is about 10%. However, the brain development rate of Einstein, the recognized smartest person in the world, is The rate has not reached one-third, and two-thirds are still dormant. Based on this calculation, if the human brain development rate can reach half, he will be a god. The ultimate goal of a cultivator's lifelong hard work is not only to develop the abilities that humans should have. He even had to transcend himself to achieve omnipotence, thus leaving countless divine stories in the long history.
But then again, think about humans being intelligent creatures. It is possible to become a cultivator, but what about your pig-headed master? You can't expect a pig to have much wisdom.
"Senior Chang Qingzi's words made me enlightened, but what about so many non-human gods in mythology, like Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie?"
"You really like to ask questions." It was rare for someone from the secular world to come to chat with him in the valley, and Chang Qingzi's chat box was completely open. "You have such cultivation at your age. You should be a smart person. Why can't you think about the possibilities in the outside world?"
"What's possible from the outside world?" Qu Wen looked confused: "Senior Chang Qingzi, please make it clear."
"Let me tell you this, some mythological stories are indeed fabricated by humans, but some mythical characters are also very likely to be aliens. Do you understand what I say?"
This time Qu Wen finally understood completely that Chang Qingzi was talking about aliens. Since the earth can have intelligent life, why can't it exist on other planets? Maybe not in the solar system, not in the Milky Way, but what about further outer space? Could it be that the pig-headed master in the sky turns out to be an alien?
Qu Wen was secretly shocked in his heart. This idea was too crazy, but from the perspective of those scientists who were suppressed by European religions hundreds of years ago, who was not crazy?
"Haha, hahahaha" Qu Wen couldn't help laughing loudly, making Chang Qingzi look confused.
"I don't know what makes you so funny."
"I'm sorry, Senior Chang Qingzi, I taught you beforeI concealed something because I didn¡¯t know how to speak. After you said this, my heart suddenly became enlightened. Now I am not afraid to tell my seniors that the person who taught me the skills was Zhu Bajie, the character in Journey to the West. "
"What!" Chang Qingzi and Mu Wuya both opened their mouths in surprise.
"You said your master is Zhu Bajie?" Mu Wuya said in shock.
"There is absolutely no lie." Qu Wen then roughly told the story of meeting Zhu Bajie and how he passed on his spiritual awareness to himself.
After listening to Qu Wen¡¯s words, the faces of Chang Qingzi and Chang Qingzi were even more surprised. There are such strange things in the world. However, he has not yet reached the realm of the Immortal Family, so how can he know the true situation of the Immortal Family? If there is indeed a character named Zhu Bajie, then the story of Journey to the West is probably true.
"The world is full of wonders. It's really funny to think that after so many years of practice, I'm still just a frog in the well. It seems that I have to work harder in the future." Chang Qingzi suddenly became full of fighting spirit, and his body became more and more energetic. Full of fairy wind. "Since you are a disciple of the Pure Altar Envoy and have magical powers from the Immortal Family, you will definitely be promoted to the Immortal Class as long as you practice with concentration."
Fairy class!
Master Zhutou once said this, but after listening to Chang Qingzi¡¯s words, his curiosity about immortals and gods decreased a lot. To put it bluntly, the so-called immortals are just a group of superhuman beings who transcend themselves.
"Haha" Qu Wen scratched his head habitually. "Before I met Senior Chang Qingzi, I had a strong sense of self-superiority. Now I know that I have just stepped into the door of cultivation. This matter of being promoted to the Immortal Class is far away. It's okay not to think about it for the time being. Besides, I will have one more thing in the future. There are big things to do. If you can't pass that level, everything will be in vain."
Having chatted with Qu Wen for so long, in addition to admiring him, he felt like we were old friends at first sight. Seeing him in such a difficult situation, Chang Qingzi asked curiously, "I wonder what could possibly make you so embarrassed."
"Well I wonder if the seniors know about the Black Dragon Conference. The juniors have already signed up to participate in the Black Dragon Conference a year from now."
"Oh." Chang Qingzi looked slightly surprised but not very surprised. "Since the Warring States Period, fewer and fewer people have practiced in the secular world. I believe that anyone who can reach your level should know about the existence of the Black Dragon Conference. This is the best channel for secular cultivators to enter the world of true cultivation."
Listening to Chang Qingzi¡¯s words, it seems that he knows the Black Dragon Conference very well. Thinking about it, he is a reclusive master who has lived for more than two hundred years. How could he not know this kind of thing?
"Excuse me for asking more, but I actually know a little bit about the Black Dragon Conference. I wonder if I can ask my senior to explain it in detail. What is this Black Dragon Conference all about?"
Chang Qingzi picked up the tea cup and took a sip, took a deep breath and said: "As for the Black Dragon Conference, I don't know much about it. I only know that the black dragon is a symbol of ancient power. Since the great god Pangu opened the world, the three major worlds have their own seals. God Queen. The Black Dragon Conference has existed since then. At that time, the three major divine realms created this grand gathering for unknown reasons, and it was held every hundred years. Three powerful men with extraordinary talents and abilities were selected from the earthly world to enter the three major divine realms. "
Hearing this piece of music, I couldn¡¯t help but interrupt Chang Qingzi¡¯s words.
"Senior, you just said that the Great God Pangu opened the sky, and then the three major divine realms. What is going on?"
"Why don't you know the legend of Pangu opening the sky?"
"I know, but isn't Pangu a figure in Chinese myths and legends?"
"Hahahaha." Chang Qingzi laughed loudly. "This is just a worldly view. The Great God Pangu was an ancient god. Originally, the heaven and the earth were connected as one, and the continent was also one. Later, disputes broke out. The Great God Pangu had no choice but to separate the heaven and the earth, and the continent was separated. This is the legend of Pangu's creation of the sky. .¡±
Naturally, we know the legend of Pangu's creation of the sky. We have heard it since childhood, and there is evidence that the continent was originally one continent. According to scientific research, it is the theory of Pangea in ancient times, and there is also the theory of Pangea.
As early as more than 650 million years ago, equivalent to the Ediacaran period of geological time, the land on the earth was once a complete supercontinent, and this continent began to break up and drift in the following 100 million years, and later in During the Devonian period, due to the collision between continents, the land on the earth was connected together about 245 million years ago. The Triassic period of the subsequent geological era was called Pangea by scientists around the world. It split again to form the current distribution.
I can¡¯t help but laugh when I think of this article. It turns out that there are so many clues connecting science and superstition. According to superstition, there is a legend that Pangu opened the sky. According to science, it was the natural formation of Pangu after the split. In short, the continent was once one piece. The word Pangu has been used since ancient times. That's for sure.
"What about the three major divine realms?" Qu Wen asked again.
"Three major divine realms, how should I say this? It should be the division of three different ancient cultures, and the self-proclaimed boundaries of the three major cultural gods and men. If classified according to secular classification, it should be the Nordic gods, Greek godsGod, the three great divine realms of China. "
"What!!!" Qu Wen has a hundred thousand whys and a hundred thousand surprises.
I used to think that myths and legends are just legends. Taoism is the strongest, Buddhism says Buddhism is the strongest, and everyone is the greatest god in the world. So what are the gods of ancient Greece and Nordic gods? However, considering that Buddhism was founded relatively late, the Lord Buddha, Sakyamuni, was only a man of more than 2,500 years ago. That is too far away from the Chinese culture of more than 5,000 years and the ancient gods even further away. Far. Chinese Taoism, Greek gods, and Nordic gods are myths and legends from almost the same period. These three divine realms represent three different cultures, so it makes sense to say this.
"What's so surprising about this? Since there really is an envoy of the Purification Altar, why can't there be an ancient god and the three major divine realms." Chang Qingzi smiled again and said.
"Indeed." Qu Wen felt ashamed for a while. Human beings are like this. They run out to explore space before they even fully understand the mystery of the earth. As a member of human beings, he cannot help but be affected by this cultural thought. Treat everything that was possible as impossible.
"Then this Black Dragon Conference is actually the selection meeting for newcomers in the three major divine realms?" Qu Wen asked again.
"You can say that." Chang Qingzi nodded. "But starting from the Warring States Period, the Black Dragon Conference gradually began to change, such as in the late Warring States period, especially after Emperor Qin. Those in power were afraid of the powerful abilities of the ascetics. They used various methods to suppress the ascetics in the secular world. The ascetics in the secular world became more and more There are fewer and fewer cultivators. In order to prevent the culture of cultivation from disappearing from the secular world, the Black Dragon Conference provides various favorable conditions to attract cultivators who remain in the secular world. Therefore, it has become a means for the major forces in the world to achieve their own goals, and All major forces have also begun to suppress their opponents while secretly cultivating their own capable men. If the Black Dragon Conference in the past was just a trial for the three major gods, the current Black Dragon Conference is a channel for the major forces in the world to achieve their goals by any means. .¡±
Chang Qingzi¡¯s analysis was so thorough, but Qu Wen had new doubts about how he knew the current situation.
"Senior Chang Qingzi. Since you are from the world of cultivation, how come you know so much about the so-called secular world?"
After talking for so long, his mouth felt dry. Chang Qingzi picked up the teacup and took another sip. After putting the teacup down, he slowly said: "Although I am a cultivator, I can't be considered in the real world of cultivation. This is just Chinese Taoism." Since there is a Black Dragon Conference in the Seventy-Two Cave Paradise, and since the conference is to continue, it is inevitable for people to come into contact with the secular world, and they will naturally understand the affairs of the secular world. To tell you the truth, I am also one of the organizers of the Black Dragon Conference. .¡±
"What!!!" Qu Wen felt that there were too many things that shocked him today. He never thought that Chang Qingzi was one of the organizers of the Black Dragon Conference. So can he open the back door for himself? But why would he tell himself such a confidential thing? "Senior Chang Qingzi, this should be a secret. Wouldn't it be bad if you told me?"
"Maybe, then I want to ask you why you want to participate in the Black Dragon Conference?" Chang Qingzi asked.
"It's hard to explain this matter" Qu Wen immediately told how he knew about the Black Dragon Conference and why he wanted to participate in the Black Dragon Conference.
"So you are forced to do so?" Chang Qingzi asked.
"You can say that, but the more I know about the Black Dragon Conference, the more curious I become about the Black Dragon Conference. Now I am more driven by curiosity, and I also want to see my abilities. Of course, my goal is only to reach the top 16. As long as I reach the top 16 No matter how much ability I still have, I will never fight again, the worst I can do is give up and admit defeat."
Qu Wen's words made Chang Qingzi very surprised. Over the years and in so many times, all the contestants who participated in the Black Dragon Conference were basically relentless, but Qu Wen only wanted to complete his task, as if participating in the conference was just to solve troubles and relieve himself. Just curiosity.
"Why only reach the top 16? If you have the ability to enter the top three or win the championship, wouldn't it be a big loss to stop at the top 16?"
"Is it really going to be a loss?" Qu Wen smiled as if he didn't care. "Before becoming a player, I was a businessman. Before being a businessman, I was an antique appraiser. Before being an appraiser, I was just an ordinary citizen. At home, I am the son of my parents. In the hearts of my lovers, I am their lover. In the hearts of my friends, I am the son of my parents. I am their friend. They don¡¯t want to lose me, and I don¡¯t want to lose them. I wouldn¡¯t trade this for the whole world. There are already many strong men in the top 32 of the Black Dragon Conference, and the top 16 masters such as Yun, as for the top eight and the top four, even if I had the ability, I would not risk my life and the love of my family and friends. You can think that I am afraid of death. Yes, I am indeed afraid of death, but I am more afraid. Lost, even if I really want to become a cultivator, I still want to accompany my family and friends to spend this life well, and accompany them quicklySpend every day happily. Only when I put these things down will I consider practicing. In fact, I am just such a villain without many ideals. "
Qu Wen¡¯s words didn¡¯t seem to have any ambition, he was just a common man who was content with his duties, but these words sounded different to Chang Qingzi¡¯s ears. In order to participate in the Black Dragon Conference and achieve a higher goal, many people do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and they can abandon family and friendship. But Qu Wen would rather put aside the so-called great opportunity and stay with his family and friends. His unyielding, unmoved, and extremely firm belief is indispensable for a successful cultivator. Ordinary heart and Taoist heart .
Chang Qingzi stared steadily and nodded, with a happy expression on his face.
"Maybe you are not the strongest person in the world, but you have something that many people don't have, which is an ordinary heart. As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. This can be seen from your face that you are a very optimistic and cheerful person, and Your true energy is so pure, which shows that your mind is pure and kind. If you have a disgusting person, your true energy will also be filled with evil energy. Why should I tell you my identity? Forgive me that I can't tell you yet. Since You are here to practice, you can stay in this valley to practice until you come out of the valley, if you don¡¯t understand anything, just ask Wuya.¡±
Even after talking to this extent, Qu Wen's curiosity was inflated to the extreme, but Chang Qingzi couldn't force him to tell him if he didn't say it. Just the difference in strength between the two parties could crush him to death with just one little finger. Sighing helplessly, he turned to Mu Wuya: "Then I'll trouble you."
Mu Wuya did not expect that the master would arrange it like this, and curled his lips: "I knew I wouldn't take you into the valley, but it turned out to be so troublesome." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
