Chapter 118 Past events (2)
Bi Ye looked at the faces of everyone in the general's tent one by one, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and then said:
"For this purpose, the two Shangqing gods spent thousands of years, dissipating their divine power, and created four divine objects. The first is the Qishan Scroll, which is responsible for life force; the second is the Mingyuan Cauldron, which is responsible for death force. One scroll and one cauldron represent the two poles of life and death; the third is the Red Refining Sword, which is responsible for yang force; and the fourth is the Jade Fire Ring, which is responsible for yin force. One sword and one ring represent the two phases of yin and yang. It is said that as long as the two poles of life and death are clear and the two phases of yin and yang are harmonious, the spiritual energy can flow smoothly, the spirit body can be calm, and all things can exist forever, and life will continue."
"The two gods placed the four divine objects in different places in the four countries of Canglan, Chi and Bai to guide the spiritual energy back to the right path and benefit the four countries. These four places were not chosen randomly, but were determined by observing the three phases of the sun, moon and stars, calculating the cold and hot seasons of the four seasons, and according to the laws of the growth and decline and flow of spiritual energy. After the divine objects were properly placed, the evil spirits stopped making trouble and mortals were able to survive. Countless people gathered and migrated, and major cities and tribes in the four countries were born. The two gods almost exhausted their divine power and disappeared in time and space. It is said that only one miracle was left behind..."
Bi Ye smiled and said, "I also heard these things from others, but the gods you worshipped did exist before." The seven people felt like they were in a dream. They never expected that some folk legends were real. The gods had disappeared, and it seemed that the "gods and immortals" that people prayed to were fake after all?
Bi Ye continued the previous story and said, "For some unknown reason, about three hundred years ago, the Red Refining Sword that was supposed to be in the Red Sand Country suddenly appeared in the territory of the Cangmu Country, far away from its Yang phase. Once the Yang phase was broken, the spiritual energy was disordered, and evil spirits appeared again to harm the people, which also caused an unprecedented battle among the four countries."
"This fight lasted for forty years, with more than half of the mortals killed or injured. It can be said to be a great catastrophe that went against the will of God. The direct cause of the fight was that many Linghe people heard that as long as they found the four artifacts, they could find the miracles left by the two Shangqing gods according to the pictures and texts engraved on them. However, the root of the matter was that the artifacts were broken, causing the spiritual energy to become disordered... I personally experienced the entire catastrophe, and the cruelty of the war is beyond words."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaomu remembered the ancient tripod that Bai Yixing stole from Baihua Island, which had reached the territory of Cangmu Kingdom a few months ago. He couldn't help but change color.
Bi Ye saw that Chu Xiaomu had a strange expression and thought that he was shocked by the miraculous things he described, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to talk.
Yang Luo asked: "General, what exactly are the miracles left by the two Shangqing gods?"
Bi Ye said: "I don't know either. I'm afraid no one in this world knows. It is precisely because of this that everyone yearns for it and even goes to war for it."
Yang Luo stopped asking.
"After countless battles, both large and small, the matter finally came to an end. However, the casualties of both humans and spirits were extremely heavy. I remember that the people were either dead or fled, and there was not a single family along the hundreds of miles of the official road from Jinyang City to Anfeng City. After the war, the originally clear water of the Kun River was dyed red by the blood of soldiers and innocent people. The Kun River downstream was blocked by the bodies of people who starved to death or were killed, and the bodies of soldiers who died in the battle, and Anfeng City was turned into a vast ocean."
When Bi Ye said this, tears welled up in his eyes, obviously remembering the tragic scene at that time.
When people listened to his short speech, they seemed to be able to vaguely see the tragic fate of ordinary people at that time and the fierceness of the war between the four countries.
Bi Ye continued to recount the past:
"I was born more than four hundred years ago. Although I was born to a mortal, I have no father. When my mother conceived me, she was carrying a spirit fetus, so I have the power of immortality. There is a rule in the spirit world that spirits are not allowed to have feelings for each other, let alone marry and have children..."
Yang Luo couldn't help but interrupt: "General, this is the first time I've heard you say this. What's the reason?"
Bi Ye smiled and said, "It is said that the collision of spirits will disrupt the normal operation of spiritual energy, and even make them lose their minds and turn into evil spirits, bringing unpredictable disasters to the world. Especially for spirits like me, the harm is even worse."
Yang Luo smacked his lips and dared not ask any more questions.
Bi Ye continued, "But I was young and hot-headed at that time, and I didn't quite understand this... Well, even if I understood, I wouldn't have cared at that time..."
"At that time, the Four-Nation War had not yet ended. Chu Xiong, Yang Shihao and many other brothers and I received orders to go from Yutuo City to Jinyang City to support the war and resist the Chisha people heading north. It was at that time that I met the love of my life on the way... However, the war was urgent and we could not stay together, so we agreed to run away together after the war, find a place where no one can go, not bound by the laws of the world, and live a peaceful life from then on... I believe you have all guessed that the person I love is Hua Ling."
Chu Xiaomu thought that only a man like General Bi Ye could be worthy of the fairy-like Sister Hua, and only a beautiful woman like Sister Hua could be worthy of a hero like the general. Unfortunately, there was a strange rule that spirits could not marry each other, and the two were forcibly separated by thousands of miles.
"But her attempt to escape secretly was ultimately unsuccessful, as it was discovered by her father." At this point, he was somewhat agitated, and after a pause, he continued, "Her father is Cangmu... the eldest son of the Supreme God and the Pure God, the Lord of the Cangmu Kingdom, and one of the Four Gods, Cangmu!"
Although the five generals Ding, Zhou, Huan, Yang, and Li had all heard of Cangmu, they only thought he was a legendary god and did not know that he really existed. When they suddenly heard Cangmu's narration, they realized that there was such a real god on the mainland, and that his daughter had such a touching story with their general. Expressions of surprise, sudden enlightenment, and astonishment appeared on their faces.
Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou had never heard before that there was a god in Cangmu Kingdom with the same name as the country.
Bi Ye continued, "In order to stop us from thinking about this and to punish us, Cang Mu sent me to this desolate Biyuan after the war, saying that I was to guard the southern border to prevent the invasion of the Chisha people, but in fact, he exiled me here and prevented me from traveling far. He even cruelly sent his daughter Hua Ling to the West Sea of Lanming Country, and we have never met since then... I hated Cang Mu to the bone at first, but later I gradually understood that he was probably thinking about the safety of his daughter, me, and the people of the world. The collision of spirits will cause spiritual disorder, which is somewhat similar to the transposition of the four artifacts, and will cause unpredictable disasters. He can't take this risk."
