Chapter 154 The cause and effect of the past, the mysterious war
Now that we have come to this world, the struggle for victory and defeat here is very likely to have extraordinary symbolic meaning, and it is impossible not to try to grasp it.
In fact, Mo You had a vague outline in his memory; but he was still young and his level of cultivation was not high, so he could not understand it thoroughly.
In the three months since I became a disciple of Shu Shen Yun, I have roughly figured out the whole story and the cause and effect of the struggle between the major forces.
If you only have profound strength, if you don't have anything to rely on, all kinds of fighting methods are just trying to catch fish.
The main "earth" lineage of Kitasa Shrine, and the "initial materials" contained in it, all come from the "Yunling Valley".
It is not difficult to deduce a conclusion:
Similar to the "Enrei Valley" of Kitasa Shrine, the other four major shrines also have their own names. However, what they grab is not sand, but things that are simulated as the essence of gold, the essence of wood, the essence of water, and the essence of fire.
Mutually.
These five areas are each known as the "spiritual land" of the five major shrines.
By further extension, many questions can naturally be answered.
The five great spiritual lands are not created by heaven and earth.
Although the soil, gold sand, native seedlings, raw water, and Mars produced in the Five Spiritual Lands are not very expensive and can be used repeatedly after refining, they are not infinite after all. Moreover, the scale of the Five Spiritual Lands themselves is not huge.
Not too big.
This involves a crucial existence in this world:
Ten yuan black tree.
This tree stands on a desert island on the southeastern edge of the Mona continent. It seems that this mysterious tree was born at the same time when the world was first born.
As early as the Age of Enlightenment, some practitioners of mysticism accidentally tried to raise mystical trees through blood sacrifice.
The black tree will bear fruit——
Known as the Xuandao Fruit.
At that time, the five major shrines were only beginning to take shape, and the "spiritual lands" of their respective powers were no more than the size of a pond. The effect of the Xuan Dao Fruit was earth-shattering: this fruit was equivalent to the nutrients of the spiritual lands. After refining it with special methods,
This can greatly promote the growth and rebirth of their respective "spiritual lands".
And, what kind of cause will produce what kind of effect.
Which Taoist system the blood sacrifice person practices, the Mysterious Tao Fruit that is born can only nourish the corresponding type of "spiritual land".
As the news spread, waves arose.
Everyone can see that the Ten Yuan Xuan Tree is almost the lifeblood of the shrine!
This was the beginning of the First Continental War. In the end, three generations of the owners of Kusaba Shrine were extremely skilled in mystical arts and dominated the shrine for a while. Therefore, they quickly dominated the entire Ten Yuan Mysterious Tree.
According to common sense, once a shrine dominates the world, then this family's "spiritual land" will become more and more nourished and strong; but if the other four shrines are cut off from supplies, the size of the spiritual land will naturally become thin and thin, like a candle in the wind.
It won't take long for the remaining four major shrines to naturally perish, and it will be a matter of course for the Mana Continent to be unified.
But the good times didn't last long.
Ten years after the world was settled, the third generation owner of Kusaba Shrine was surprised to find that the number of fruits produced by the Ten Yuan Xuan Tree had actually decreased!
According to the results of the previous calculation test, on the premise of obtaining enough blood sacrifices to raise them, for a period of ten years each time, the Ten Yuan Xuan Shu Bento will result in forty-nine pieces.
But in the tenth year after unification, only thirty-six pieces were produced.
This is not over yet.
After the second ten years, thirty-two fruits were obtained.
After the third ten years, twenty-four fruits were obtained.
Moreover, the entire Shi Yuan Xuan tree has withered grass and leaves, and its roots and stems are aggrieved, showing an obvious sign of decline.
The three generations of club owners were completely panicked and anxious for a knowledgeable person in the field to diagnose the problem.
In the end, a Shezheng, who was extremely skilled in deducing the law, determined the cause and effect.
The truth is disheartening.
It turns out that this Ten-Yuan Mysterious Tree hides the secret of balance and cannot be easily confused. If the full amount of blood sacrifices received each time have the same attribute, then the Ten-Yuan Mysterious Tree will inevitably decline within fifty years.
, will surely dry up and die.
This limit ratio is 50%.
The proportion of any single attribute in the full-blood sacrifice must not exceed 50%. Furthermore, none of the five main attributes can be absent.
In the end, it showed the phenomenon of "five fruits", which was in line with God's will.
Kusaba Shrine had no choice but to sign contracts with the other four major shrines.
The scale of the blood sacrifice and the distribution of the Xuan Dao fruits afterwards were established in the contract.
Kusaba Shrine received twenty-four pieces; the remaining four major shrines divided the remaining twenty-five pieces according to their strength at the time.
From then on, Mana Continent ushered in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period.
And because of this special mysterious tree, this war in troubled times showed two very obvious rules.
First, no matter how powerful one party is, its income cannot be greater than the sum of the other four families. Therefore, such a division as the three generations of the owners of Kusaba Shrine is extremely difficult to maintain for a long time. If a strong person emerges from the hostile forces, they can jointly target
, the interests of the strongest will inevitably be divided.
This is also true. After the death of the third generation owner of Kusaba Shrine, an extremely outstanding figure emerged from Kitasa Shrine. The mysterious and Taoist practices surpassed the fourth generation owners of Kusaba Shrine. Under siege, just over ten years later
, in the newly established contract, Kusaba Shrine's share was reduced from twenty-four to twelve, losing half of the country.
Secondly, since any one of the five major shrines is indispensable, no matter how fierce the fight is, these five major forces are not in danger of overthrowing.
In their long history, both Hoshitetsu Shrine and Asagiri Shrine have faced the dilemma of having a quota of one, but they eventually survived.
Every time a distribution contract is signed, it can last as short as twenty or thirty years; as long as fifty years; a hundred years is extremely rare, and rarely exceeds two hundred years.
Because the lifespan of a first-level strong person in society is more than 200 years; and the strength of the top strong person has a decisive influence on all parties in the game. Therefore, the contract period cannot exceed the life span of the top strong person, because of personnel matters
In metabolism, there are hidden changes, opportunities to escape and change course, and no one wants to trap themselves.
In this generation, although the five major shrines are strong and weak, they are not particularly disparate.
Beisha Shrine, the Xuandao Fruit quota is fifteen.
Grass Leaf Shrine, six Xuan Dao Fruit quota.
Xingtie Shrine, Xuan Dao Fruit quota is eleven.
Yanyang Shrine, the Xuandao Fruit quota is seven.
Asagiri Shrine, the Xuan Dao Fruit quota is ten.
The prestige of Shu Shen Yun in Kitasa Shrine comes from this. More than ten years ago, the five major shrines gathered together.
Because the previous owner of Kitasa Shrine passed away unexpectedly, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Kitasa Shrine’s strength was declining and it would give up its share; but I didn’t expect that after some games, Kitasa Shrine’s share not only did not decrease, but actually increased by two coins, from thirteen
It became fifteen pieces, further expanding the advantage.
Although I don’t know the process of the game, the strength of the fist shown should be the fundamental factor.
As for the sudden tense situation in recent years, it is actually a bit special.
Although it is known as the "217th Continental War" following the old name, the real reason is actually quite different from the previous 216 times when the old alliance expired and the new alliance was not established.
Because the last contract, although the time limit set was not long, it was still a thirty-year contract, and it was far from the time to start a war.
The origin of this incident can be called a supernatural event.
The last time the Ten Yuan Mysterious Tree bore fruit, after harvesting the fruit, there were originally forty-nine, exactly the same.
After getting the results, there is still one more procedure.
Because from the outside, the appearance of the forty-nine fruits is exactly the same, it is impossible to identify the corresponding changes in properties and species of the Five Elements. Only by transporting them to the "Xiao Qingyuan Array" jointly established and maintained by the five shrines for observation can we understand
The different types of Xuandao fruits are counted.
But when I walked through the array, something strange happened.
The total number of Xuandao Fruits has become forty-eight.
Earth belongs to fifteen fruits, wood belongs to six fruits, fire belongs to seven fruits, and water belongs to nine fruits, all of which are exactly the same; only the metal fruits have become ten.
A dispute arose.
For more than a hundred years, Kitasa Shrine and Kusaba Shrine have been closely related; Hoshitetsu Shrine and Enyo Shrine have formed an implicit alliance.
Hoshitetsu Shrine suspected that Kitasa Shrine was responsible.
Daoshishu Shenyun is young and powerful, and his actions give people an aggressive image. He is not satisfied with the existing advantages of Kitasa Shrine, and covets half of the mountains and rivers that Kusaba Shrine had when it was at its peak.
Although there is no evidence for this theory, it seems to be quite credible.
A war broke out.
Asagiri Shrine initially had nothing to do with the matter and remained neutral. But in the end, it decided to invest in the side of Hoshitetsu Shrine.
Due to a special reason, this time's "Continent War" was slightly less intense than the previous fierce battles involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
While the fighting was going on, the five parties were also conducting mediation efforts to investigate the truth of the incident.
Therefore, Shu Shenyun did not go to the front line personally, but sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
What Shan Dongling just presented is the result of the first phase of the investigation.
did not expect……
Not only was the answer not revealed, it became even more bizarre.
After pondering alone for a long time, Shu Shenyun suddenly stood up: "I am determined to convene a meeting of the five shrine owners to completely resolve this matter."
Gui Wujiu said: "Disciple, please order us to go with our master to broaden our horizons."
Shu Shenyun looked sideways and suddenly smiled: "If you were a twelve-year-old town guard leader, I would take you there and you would grow taller. A twelve-year-old golden town guard... although he is still outstanding, he is not
So dazzling.”
"Do you think you are qualified to replace a town guard to receive a quota? To replace one of Xuan Lingying or Tong Jia?"
Gui Wujiu smiled slightly and said: "The slight cultivation gap between the Golden Guards and the Guard Leaders is probably not in Master's eyes, right? Compared with it, it is Master's subjective will that is more important.
"
Shu Shenyun was stunned at first, then laughed out loud and said: "That's a very good answer."
"Although I haven't been married yet, your answer makes me feel like I have an extra son."
Then he stretched out his finger and tapped Gui Wujiu's head lightly.
