All night

Lu Changying held Xin Wan with her withered hand that was dyed dark green by the snake venom, and said with a smile, "Is it scary?"

Xin Wan shook her head, and Lu Changying said: "I said I won't die to coax you, I really won't die, even... I once expected that I would be injured and die like others, so now I even is happy."

He thought for a while, and said, "Did you find a very strange thing, about the secret of Kongsang, Baizhize possesses the breath soil, Xuanshuimen raises Xuanbing green snakes, and Biqinghai is built on the entrance of the mortal world. These three Things have to come together to guess what happened to Kongsang."

Xin Wan said: "So some people don't want people in Kongsang to know the story."

Lu Changying nodded and said, "The person who separates these three things is Zhuan Xu."

This is a not very long but extremely long story.

Zhuanxu fought with Gonggong back then, saying it was for the throne, but in fact there were differences over how to govern the world.In the era of Emperor Zhuanxu, anyone could practice immortality, get close to gods, and even communicate with gods, but Gonggong didn't think so. He believed that since there were more and more people, gods should distance themselves from people, otherwise People will gradually become insatiable, and even want to replace God.

They argued for a long time without any result, and finally had to fight. Gonggong was defeated and angered Buzhou Mountain, the sky and earth tilted, floods caused disasters, the world of gods and humans split, and Emperor Zhuanxu separated his homeland, Kongsang, from the mortal world. , Kongsang has become what it is today—it is still a blessed land, people here can still cultivate immortals, but it is very difficult to get close to and communicate with gods.

There is a hidden water area in Kongsang, where a magical lotus was bred. Because it existed when Pangu opened up the world and lived forever with the fire of Yingying, Zhuan Xu named it Yinghuolian.

After Kongsang was cut off from the mortal world, and gods and humans were completely separated, Zhuanxu's officials believed that this kind of thing that could live forever after eating could not be left in the world, otherwise, once mortals found it, it would seem that they had eternal time.Even if God has the five declines of heaven and man, birth, old age, sickness and death are the eternal laws of heaven and earth, and the existence of Yinghuolian cannot be let go.

After repeated discussions, Zhuanxu finally nodded and agreed, and burned all the Yinghuolian with three thousand fires.When a lot of lotus leaves were burned to dry stumps, a lotus seed was tightly wrapped in the lotus pod, and it was lucky to escape the catastrophe.

That day, a young man of unknown origin came to this ruin for some unknown reason, and peeled off a lotus seed from the withered lotus pod.

The lotus is the only flower that can have roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits at the same time. Even the most common lotus seed in the world can survive thousands of years and germinate again, let alone the fire lotus?

Emperor Zhuanxu actually knew that the Yinghuo lotus had never been extinct, but he still couldn't make up his mind to destroy the last lotus pod, so he just left it to fend for itself.

At this time, hundreds of years have passed since the reign of Emperor Zhuanxu, and Zhuanxu has become a legendary god in Kongsang. Zhuanxu himself was resurrected by a fishwife, but he is just a monster that is half fish and half snake.It was at this time that there was such a young man who stripped the only firefly lotus seed in the world from the lotus pod in the forbidden area.

Emperor Zhuanxu was forced to sacrifice himself and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The boy said frankly, "I don't know. I've been here since I was born."

Zhuanxu asked again: "Do you know what is in your hand?"

The boy took it for granted, "A lotus seed."

Zhuan Xu laughed.He has seen many gods and many people. People who know Ying Huo Lian have spent their entire lives trying to obtain this most precious treasure in the world - life and death, flesh and bones, and longevity. Things are always fun.Only this young man can calmly say to Ying Huo Lian: "This is just a lotus seed."

Zhuan Xu smiled and said softly: "This is the fire lotus, something that should have been extinct long ago. You shouldn't have taken it out."

The young man was startled, and said, "Why?"

Zhuanxu said: "Because it can make people live forever, which is against the law of heaven."

The young man thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't think it's right. Since it can grow between the heaven and the earth, it follows the way of heaven. I have lived here for a long time, from east to west, from north to south, except me There is not a living thing outside, and I don't want to go out, and no one else seems to want to come in. Now, since I found it, it's mine, and it has to stay with me."

Zhuan Xu shook his head with a smile, "You keep it, what are you going to do?"

The boy said: "I want to watch it grow up and see what kind of flowers it blooms."

After being resurrected by the fishwife, Zhuan Xu has been dormant alone for hundreds of years in emptiness.In these hundreds of years, he has never been disturbed by anyone, and he has never spoken to anyone except for a black bird that is his companion.

However, he was moved by the meaningless words of the boy.

——Because, for hundreds of years, what he saw was nothing but a piece of dry lotus in front of him, and he had already forgotten what beautiful flowers Yinghuolian once had.He... wants to see it bloom too.

Zhuan Xu didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I can allow you to plant it, but you have to promise me one thing. Yinghuolian seldom bears seeds. Once this Yinghuolian plant has seeds, the lotus seeds must be destroyed immediately, and it cannot be used as a plant. He uses it. You make an oath, if you break this oath..."

The young man said: "I will become the prototype, and for thousands of years from now, I will only be the soil at the feet of Yinghuolian."

Zhuan Xu nodded and said, "Okay."

After Zhuanxu left, the young man wrapped the lotus seeds with a handful of soil and threw them back into the water.

The process of waiting for Yinghuolian to germinate was extremely long, but fortunately, he was used to waiting and was very good at waiting.After a long time, he felt that it would be too lonely and monotonous to have only one lotus in this large body of water, so he did something he had never done for hundreds of years. There are many kinds of lotus root.

The lotus leaves gradually covered the water surface, and the fire lotus finally sprouted and grew up slowly.In the vicissitudes of life, the young man is just alone by the water, waiting for a flower to bloom in the time of several reincarnations for ordinary people.

However, because of one of his trips, people gradually came here.The first person discovered that this place was not a dead place, but that there were continuous lotus leaves and beautiful lotus flowers. After publicizing, there was a second person, and a third person.In the end, a person with extremely high roots of wisdom founded a sect here, practiced and accepted disciples, and placed two Lingao that he had surrendered before as guards at the gate.

As the person who planted lotus here from the beginning, the young man was only regarded as an ordinary gardener.He never took it for granted, and still took a small boat all day long to watch lotus picking lotus pods, and finally stayed with Yinghuolian.

The Yinghuo lotus is really hard to bear, and its lotus pods are all solid.The young man was actually quite satisfied, because he didn't need any firefly lotus seeds, and if they really formed, he had to find a way to destroy them, which was really too difficult.

Ying Huo Lian already has sentience and spirituality, but she can't change form yet, but she can quietly stretch out a lotus leaf when the young man is leaning against him, covering him with some dazzling sunlight.

I don't know how long it took, but this year Yinghuolian finally produced three lotus seeds.The young man was very happy, but also very embarrassed. He didn't want to destroy this rare lotus seed, but he had to.In the end, he followed what Emperor Zhuanxu did back then, and only kept the lotus seeds in the lotus pods, and didn't peel them off, nor use them, just pretending that they didn't exist.

Until one day, all the three lotus seeds disappeared.

So the young man had no choice but to fulfill his oath, dissipated all his cultivation, turned into mud, and quietly accompanied Ying Huo Lian.Yinghuolian also seemed to have lost her soul since then, and she was no different from ordinary flowers who could not perceive the outside world.
