Chapter 361 Beichen Palace
Of course, soon Bai Xiao knew that his idea was wrong. Bai Ze was not a relative of her, nor was even a human being.
"Bai Ze is an ancient divine beast with a high status and a symbol of auspiciousness. It looks very similar to a lion and a dragon head. The "Bai Ze Tu" says: A sheep has a horn on the top, and it is a dragon. If it is killed, it will be killed and killed."
"So, Bai Ze is a divine beast?" Bai Xiao was stunned, feeling amused that he had thought that Bai Ze might be his relative.
"Yes."
Mu Tianchen looked at Bai Xiao's confused expression, smiled, and said slowly: "It is said that there is a divine beast Bai Ze in the east, which knows astronomy and geography above and trivial things below; see through the past and knows the future. He can also speak human words. He once used the ghost and god picture book as Huangdi asked, also known as the "Bai Ze Jing Wei Shi Picture", which contains 1,520 kinds of ghosts and gods."
"There is a little story here. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Well, you said." Bai Xiao leaned against the edge of the door, looking at Mu Tianchen with black eyes, with curiosity on his face.
Mu Tianchen nodded and said, "It is said that in ancient times, the Huaxia Group led by Huangdi went through a lot of hardships and finally destroyed many tribes including Chiyou Jiuli, and dominated the world. One day, Huangdi brought his hands to the foot of Huan Mountain beside the East China Sea. He was about to leave, but his subordinate Ning Fengzi stopped him and said, "This mountain has a great opportunity, so that people can know everything about the world, and can still be invincible and ascend to the Tao."
"When Huangdi heard this, he felt strange, so he took his people to climb the mountain with Ning Fengzi. Halfway through the climb, he suddenly heard a sound from the grass, which was actually a voice that insulted Huangdi. A general who was accompanying rushed into the grass was furious and soon captured a red pig. The pig was still dirty. Ning Fengzi came to Huangdi and said, "Although this pig mountain ointment is full of dirty words, it has a deep relationship with that great opportunity."
"When Huangdi heard this, he ordered his men to put down the mountain ointment and continue climbing the mountain after a happy reception."
"Then I met a macaque-like 'xing' (xing), which was also a great hospitality."
"When I was about to reach the top of the mountain, I encountered a green divine beast with a horn on my head that looked like a unicorn. The divine beast glanced at Huangdi and sighed: "The Holy Lord has his own blessing, but why is it used by a traitor? My brother should be so destined to be." After that, he went down the mountain on his own."
"Luduan?" Bai Xiao suddenly asked.
Mu Tianchen looked over in surprise: "Do you know?"
"Yeah." Bai Xiao nodded, recalled a little, "It is said that you can know the future and understand the words of all directions. I have seen it in a classic. Because it looks like a unicorn in Western mythology, and is full of green and shining, so I remember it."
After hearing this, Mu Tianchen couldn't help but smile, his eyes fell on Bai Xiao, and then he looked at him carefully.
Speaking of which, Bai Xiao has a tall figure and is thin and extremely pleasing to the eye. In addition, she has a very high appearance and the combination of various parts is just right, giving people a very coordinated and beautiful feeling.
Of course, Mu Tianchen was not coveting her beauty, but was surprised. She didn't know about the more famous Bai Ze, but remembered the unfamous Lu Duan. Sure enough... girls value appearance more.
Bai Xiao felt that Mu Tianchen's eyes were a little weird and he couldn't tell what it meant, but he inexplicably felt that he seemed to be humiliated.
She curled her lips, hugged her hands in front of her chest, stretched out one hand and raised it, and said, "Continue!"
"Um."
Mu Tianchen nodded and continued, "After a long climb, Huangdi and others finally arrived at the top of the mountain. The top of Huanshan is extremely small and can only be used for a few people to stand. Ning Fengzi said to Huangdi: 'The opportunity is here, the Holy Lord can only go there alone. Remember, you must not express your intention, you can only touch indirectly.' Huangdi nodded, so he walked over alone."
"And they met Bai Ze?" Bai Xiao asked curiously.
"Yes, as soon as Huangdi reached the top of the mountain, he saw a snow-white animal. This animal looked majestic and majestic, with a lion, a dragon head, a sharp horn on its head, and a goatee beard, which was the divine beast Bai Ze."
"Huangdi remembered Ning Fengzi's warning, so he indirectly said that the world was not peaceful yet and there were strange beasts. In order to ensure the safety of the people, he wanted to ask Bai Ze for advice. Bai Ze knew that Huangdi's purpose was actually for opportunity, but it did not say it out loud, but told Huangdi all the origin names of the demons and monsters in the world and the method of eliminating the devils and exorcises."
"A month later, Huangdi obtained all the information on monsters and methods of exorcising them, and recorded them in detail. This is the famous "Bai Ze Tu" in later generations, also known as "Bai Ze Tu".
"There are 11,520 kinds of demons and monsters in the world, which also correspond to 11,520 ways to eliminate them. After Bai Ze finished speaking all the information about monsters, he was silent for a moment, and then told Huangdi that his brothers, mountain ointment, and elixir had been captured by Ning Fengzi and were forced to ask about the method of immortality. At this time, he was afraid that he had been poisoned by Ning Fengzi. When Huangdi heard this, Bai Ze told him that when something happened in your heart, he was about to come out, and then ordered people to make it with bronze method, you will ascend to heaven to achieve immortality, and you don't need to force my brother at all."
"So, it was Ning Fengzi who wanted to live forever, so he deceived Huangdi to come over and ask about the method of living forever?" Bai Xiao asked.
Mu Tianchen nodded: "It's true. Huangdi felt ashamed when he knew about it. At this time, Bai Ze's horn on his head was handed over to Huangdi, and asked Huangdi to hand over the horn to Ning Fengzi and let him release his brother."
"Huangdi was ashamed, so he went down the mountain quickly. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw Ning Fengzi really grabbed the mountain ointment, the slight, and the slight, and the slight had fallen into the pool of blood. When Huangdi saw it, he was extremely angry, picked up the horns in his hand and stabbed Ning Fengzi's stomach. But Ning Fengzi smiled fiercely, and his fairy aura flew around him, and he actually ascended to become an immortal."
"Huangdi was very regretful and ordered people to bury the mountain ointment. In order to repay Bai Ze, he did everything he could to hide Bai Ze's ability. Decades later, Huangdi felt something. Thinking of what Bai Ze said at that time, he ordered people to cast the first tripod in the world. After the tripod was cast, a flying dragon fell from the sky, so Huangdi and more than 70 people around him turned into immortals."
Bai Xiao was silent after listening to the story. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Then what does this story have to do with my wooden box? Could it be that... Is there a "Bai Ze Jing Wei" hidden in my wooden box?"
Thinking of this, she suddenly became expectant.
That's right, the surface of her wooden box is carved with various lifelike birds and beasts. Does this indicate a picture of a monster?
Looking at her excited look, Mu Tianchen shook his head leisurely: "You don't have "Bai Ze Jing Wei" in your wooden box."
Bai Xiao: “…”
Isn't that nonsense? A fragrant word almost spit out of her mouth.
Her eyes were gloomy and she glanced at Mu Tianchen with dissatisfaction. What kind of story did this guy tell so much that she was so excited.
As if feeling the dissatisfaction in Bai Xiao's eyes, Mu Tianchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, although your wooden box has little to do with "Bai Ze Jing Wei Zhi", it is also related."
"You said..." Bai Xiao learned his lesson this time, his tone was plain and he could not see any emotions.
Seeing this, Mu Tianchen nodded and continued: "After this time, Huangdi tried his best to hide Bai Ze's ability. It turns out that Bai Ze is not only knowledgeable about the world, but also understands the past and the future. Its horns can also help people become immortals!"
"This is why the relevant information about the divine beast Bai Ze in the ancient version of Shanhai Jing will disappear mysteriously, and we can only understand from Yuan Jian Leihan that Bai Ze was recorded in Shanhai Jing."
"Why did later generations suddenly know about this rumor? Didn't it mean that it had been blocked by Huangdi's order?" Bai Xiao asked.
This is a logical contradiction.
In fact, it is not only ancient legends, but also various modern stories with certainty. There are also some secrets that seem to be in the scene. The teller is as if he is witnessing everything that happens on the spot. Except for the fact that the temptation is real, the others are all fake.
"This is not surprising..."
After hearing Bai Xiao’s questioning, Mu Tianchen was not angry, but smiled faintly and said, “After Huangdi ordered people to block Bai Ze’s news, the world really no longer knew Bai Ze’s ability, but not everyone knew about Bai Ze. After all, this “Bai Ze’s Evil and Strange Picture” still needs to be preserved.”
"So before Huangdi led his people to ascend, he ordered a team of people to take care of the "Baize Evil and Strange Picture". After that, time went by and time passed, and the "Baize Evil and Strange Picture" continued to pass on. However, the changes in this world were unpredictable by previous generations. Although Huangdi ascended, he could not predict the future like Baize. He left behind the "Baize Evil and Strange Picture" with the original intention of protecting the tribe and not being hurt by monsters. But he did not expect that humans would develop more rapidly, and now the weak ones are monsters."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he felt something.
It has to be admitted that with the development of science and technology, human influence on nature has indeed been greatly improved.
To put it better, this is human beings transforming nature and adapting to nature, but to put it worse, human beings excessively change nature may not necessarily retaliate against themselves.
Another thing that made Bai Xiao confused. Although the development of human beings has expanded its influence on nature, as far as she knows, if she really encounters the so-called monster monster, this influence does not seem to be much advantage. The ancient monsters are so strong that even if their descendants are a little weak, can this balance not continue?
The reality is that the whole world is already the world of humans, but the monsters seem to have completely disappeared.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has completely disappeared. Occasionally, some monsters will still cause situations where they disrupt the normal order of human beings. The endings of those monsters have been suppressed by the Imperial Spirit Administration.
But the truth actually doesn't make sense - the lifespan of monsters is much higher than that of humans, and there must be ancient monsters hidden in the deep mountains and forests, but they are not included in the world, as if they are managed.
"Where have the monsters in the world gone?" She frowned slightly, with confusion on her face.
Mu Tianchen smiled: "This is the important information I want to tell you today!"
He slowly said: "As Huangdi ascended, the development of the human race gradually came on track. After that, the dynasties changed, and basically reached a delicate balance between humans and demons. Until the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this balance was broken."
"what happened?"
Bai Xiao saw in the family records that the number of spirit controlers suddenly increased at that stage, but what happened was vague.
Perhaps because the history of the Bai family is not long enough, there is a lack of earlier records in the clan.
Mu Tianchen said: "Because at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, several large-scale spiritual veins were discovered everywhere. Since then, the number of spirit controlers with cultivation ability among humans has increased dramatically. In contrast, monsters still continue to take the essence of the sun and the moon, and their living environment naturally becomes harsh."
Bai Xiao nodded, looking like she was.
"Once the balance is broken, a new balance will be established. At the beginning, the monsters were in panic all day long because a large number of monsters were discovered, slaughtered, and even sold. Just when the demons were facing a catastrophe, the person responsible for guarding the "Baize Monster Picture" stood up. It used the monsters to call on the monsters, and the monsters were seriously threatened because of their existence, so they formed an alliance with the caregivers under the leadership of several big monsters."
"Since then, a huge organization has appeared in the Spirit Realm, that is Beichen Palace!"
"Beichen Palace?"
Bai Xiao was shocked. This was the first time she heard of this name.
