Bajun Shaowu finally returned to Batu City. The first thing he did was to confer the title of royal concubine and the title of Salt Queen. The whole country celebrated. The country?
Salt is a necessity of life. Learning to refine and use salt, rather than passively ingesting it from natural food in ignorance, is a sign that people have left the primitive wilderness and entered the civilized era. In a sense, its status is even equivalent to
Yu Huo. In that era, salt was also a word used to describe beauty. The name of the founding king of Ba Yuan was Yan Zhao.
"Queen of Salt" is of course an honorific title that contains beautiful connotations. It is more real and has more real meaning in life than the illusory title of "Queen of the Holy Spirit" back then.
Immediately afterwards, the Ba Kingdom held another grand ceremony, which was the Zen Ceremony of the King. Shaowu was passed on to Shaolin. In addition to the gifts given by the emperor, Shaowu gave the new king a sword and an axe.
, these are the three most important ritual utensils in the throne transfer ceremony. From that day on, they have also become the utensils of the "Xinba Kingdom".
If the sword is pulled out of its sheath, the sword body is pure black, but with the luster of beautiful jade. It was originally the sword embryo that Huwa instructed Hanxiong to buy from Jiansha in Hongjincheng. Later, Hanxiong asked the young master to
Wu handed the sword to Huwa, but Shaowu did not see Huwa until he returned to Bayuan. After he and Huwa had a conversation in the car, the sword became such a magical weapon.
When the Shaowu inspected the Hefan tribes with Zongyan holding a sword, the sword had actually been undergoing invisible sacrifices. When he returned to Bayuan and met Huwa, the sword finally became a magical weapon. Huwa did not use this sword as a sacred weapon.
He took away the divine sword and left it with Shaowu as a weapon to pass down the country, which is equivalent to the original divine sword that conquered the country.
As for the ax, it was the ax Shaowu used to defeat the other four monarchs in the wood-cutting competition at the Black and White Hills. This short-handled ax made of warrior stone shell was not a weapon, but a production tool.
The young master left his ax and sword behind, but he took away another sword. This sword was completely snow-white and had a golden sound when struck. He and Zong Yan each had the same sword, and now they are both sacred weapons.
It should be that Huwa quietly completed the last step of the sacrifice with the great magical power of the Xian family.
After the Zen Ceremony, Shaowu and Zongyan left Batu for Wufu Qiu. Hanxiong also resigned from his official position and was granted the title of ten nobles by the new emperor and went with them. When they arrived at Wufu Qiu, Huwa and Panhu also
When they arrived, the brothers met again at Wufuqiu.
Shaolin, the new king in Batu City, has a secret edict left by his father in his hand. The young minister told his son something. After he leaves, the Ba Kingdom will no longer worship Qingyan as the god of national sacrifice.
It is true that the Ba Kingdom should not worship Qingyan as its national sacrificial god. In the future, the people of Ba will not sincerely worship this national sacrificial god because people do not understand her at all and do not worship her.
reasons.
After Shaowu leaves, of course it does not mean after Shaowu leaves Batu, but after he passes away. As for the timing and proportion, it is up to Shaolin himself. It is Shaolin’s decision to enshrine Qingyan as the god of national sacrifice.
, it is not easy for anyone to overturn it. As for Shaowu himself, as long as he is still alive, he must abide by the promise he made. Then let Shaolin leave this difficult matter to Shaolin.
Qingyan in the previous life has died, but he is considered to have ascended to heaven and become an immortal, and was named the god of national sacrifices in the country of Ba; Zongyan in this life is still alive, but is considered to have died, and was named the god of sacrifice by the emperor Chonghua.
The god of boredom. Fate seems to have made a joke.
This time, Uncle Huo, the third elder of Wufuqiu, invited his disciples to meet him. Huwa and Panhu were not disciples of the third elder, but they also wanted to meet this respected elder.
It is certainly convenient for Huwa to come to Wufu Qiu, but in this era, for many other people, it is not easy to go back to Wufu Qiu. Uncle Huo did not force it, he just tried to send the news to Lishan
His disciples would come to meet him when he was free, but he did not explain the reason.
Many disciples have come. Uncle Huo looks very good, he still looks energetic, and he still feels so amiable. If you don't know his identity, you can't believe that he is the third elder of Wufu Qiu. He still looks like the one who is here
An old man selling melons on a roadside.
Uncle Huo didn't seem to have anything special. He just asked about each disciple's various situations after leaving Wufu Qiu, and gave them instructions on their cultivation one by one. He also gave the disciples various artifacts that he had collected in his daily life. His advice was either
It is the elder's hope, or it is what the disciples lack in their practice; his gifts are either what the disciples need, or they have other meanings. They may seem random, but they all have their own intentions.
When Uncle Huo heard that Han Xiong had resigned from his official position in the imperial court, he nodded lightly and said that was fine. He also suggested that Han Xiong should not rush down the mountain, but stay on Wufu Hill for a while and practice with him. Uncle Huo gave Han Xiong a gift
The thing in front of him is not a treasure or magic weapon, but a lot of melon and fruit seeds, which he has cultivated on Wufu Hill over the years.
Uncle Huo also told Hanxiong that in the future, these melon and fruit seeds can be brought to Changlingmen for planting. If some varieties can grow in ordinary fields, they can also be promoted appropriately in Bayuan.
Hanxiong stayed, but the other Lishan disciples under Uncle Huo had their own business and could not stay on Wufu Hill for a long time. After paying homage to their master, they all left and went down the mountain. Many of them did not realize what had happened.
Maybe he won't come back to his senses until the news of Huo Boxian's death comes in the future.
Shaowu and Zong Yan also stayed temporarily. Zong Yan thought that Wufuqiu was a very good place, especially suitable for practicing, and he often consulted the current elder Xiong Li to learn swordsmanship. On the other hand, Shaowu and Zong Yan knew very well that
If the culprit behind the trap that had been set to kill her had not been found out, her danger would have never really passed, and Wufu Hill would be safe.
Huwa stayed on Wufu Qiu for more than three months. The main peak still retains his cave. In the pool under the cold sword tree in the courtyard, there are many sword leaves accumulated, which Huwa used to use.
Practice sacrificing swords and talismans. Before Huwa left, Uncle Huo met him alone, and the two had a private conversation.
Huwa could tell that Uncle Huo's life span was about to end. Even if he had all kinds of immortality elixirs, it would not be of much significance to Uncle Huo. But if Uncle Huo himself didn't say anything about this, neither would anyone else.
It's easy to speak clearly.
When Uncle Huo entertained his guests, he served a plate of fruits that he had grown by himself. The taste was very delicious. After watching Huwa finish all the fruits on the plate, Uncle Huo said, "I know Mingsha, that man."
What happened to Miss Salt?"
Nowadays, not many people in Ba Yuan have seen the true appearance of Mingsha with their own eyes. Even if someone saw it from a distance back then, they could only feel its breath but not see its true appearance clearly. However, several elders on Wufu Hill were
exception.
When Uncle Huo saw Zong Yan, he could tell at a glance that this was the furnace of fate, and they were definitely not just two people who looked very similar, let alone twin sisters. But on the other hand, these were indeed
The other person, with Uncle Huo's brilliant vision and extensive knowledge, was also confused.
Uncle Huo was also secretly guessing whether people could really be reincarnated? Or maybe they would be reincarnated in the human world after ascending to heaven? He was very patient if he could wait until now to ask Huwa alone.
In fact, the other three elders on Wufu Hill were also curious about this, but they did not make a fuss like ordinary people and grabbed the young minister to ask what happened. Things like this may be mysterious and difficult to explain, even if the young minister knew what was going on,
But he couldn't explain it clearly, and perhaps only Huwa could explain it clearly. Now that Uncle Huo asked, it was actually what the other three Supreme Elders wanted to ask.
Huwa thought about it and replied: "You can see it, it seems like a robbery, but it is unusual. Something happened at the national sacrifice ceremony that year, and outsiders didn't know it. The fate was lost, and I stayed.
Her vitality has not been lost..."
Huwa didn't hide anything from the elder, and relayed what happened with his spiritual thoughts. Uncle Huo was silent for a while, and then he sighed: "Huwa, is there really reincarnation?"
Huwa replied: "If you can break through the nine realms of cultivation, you may have a witness when you break through the cycle of life and death. The so-called cycle of life and death is the traces of the living beings in the world in the spiritual breath of heaven and earth, and then transform into a state of concentration. The living beings in the world are in the heaven and earth.
The traces left in time are infinite, and what appears in the state of concentration is related to each person's fate in this life, which may be regarded as reincarnation..."
What is the reincarnation state of life and death and what is the great tribulation of heaven and earth? Usually Master will not explain it too clearly when instructing his disciples. This kind of experience cannot be described clearly in words. If you try to explain too much, it will be wrong.
It will mislead the disciples. But Huwa is not instructing the disciples at the moment, so it doesn't matter if he talks to Uncle Huo about this.
Uncle Huo shook his head and said: "Senior brother, the leader, told me this vaguely before he ascended. But I no longer have the hope to achieve enlightenment in this life. This is another level of liberation. My child, you should know that I am an old man.
That's not what I want to ask."
Although Uncle Huo's expression was very dull, Huwa could also hear the regret in it. Yes, his life was almost over now, and he had no hope of breaking through the realm of transformation, let alone breaking through the cycle of life and death and becoming an earthly immortal. He wanted to ask
The question is a mortal question. Do monks who have not broken through the Nine Realms, even ordinary creatures with no cultivation, have reincarnation?
This question cannot be answered, and even Huwa cannot give a clear answer. But now that Uncle Huo saw Zong Yan, Huwa replied: "As you can see, Mingsha and Zongyan. But Zongyan
The situation is too special. As far as I know, there is only one such case since ancient times." The words were accompanied by spiritual thoughts, and they were just describing their own insights and feelings, taking Zong Yan as an example.
I don’t know how much Uncle Huo finally understood. The elder nodded slightly and said: "The reason why Zong Yan is special is that he happened to have a previous life. If this had not happened, it would be more ordinary and true. I think I understand it to some extent.
"
Huwa asked again tentatively: "You, the old man, specifically asked about this matter. Do you have any instructions?"
Uncle Huo waved his hand and said: "You don't have to do it deliberately, but it depends on fate...Huwa, how about your master in the immortal world?"
Huwa returned another spiritual thought, briefly introducing the situation of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Realm and the Sword Demon, and also pointed out that it was not the real ascension to immortality. Uncle Huo finally sighed and said: "One day, the head brother is afraid that I will be with you.
Reunion in the world. Well, it was no longer a reunion between me and him, but also a reunion between me and him." 8
