I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 526 Sun Worship, Change of Position

To be honest, Wen Yan originally wanted to bring his silly son along to play. Including his silly son, there were actually exactly nine stone gates.

But considering previous experience, it would be difficult for the person who came to assist him in opening the door to handle it completely according to his expectations. This thing cannot be faked.

The addition of personal opinions is actually something that cannot be controlled, and it is the most true portrayal of the people in the family.

Even without adding personal opinions, there may be other changes. For example, Dao Ge is very reliable, but when he came to help, he caused the biggest change.

With these experiences, how could Wen Yan dare to take his foolish son out to play, especially when it came to the last door. If he was given a big chance, he would be completely screwed.

The little brat is not even one year old yet and is still breastfeeding. He is at an age where he doesn’t know anything except eating. I am totally unable to help and he is completely out of control.

At least according to Wen Yan's experience, when it comes to helping open the stone door, his silly son is completely uncontrollable.

Even though she knew that if her stupid son could help, there might be some special changes, Wen Yan didn't even consider it.

Therefore, for the ninth stone gate, he has to carefully choose a suitable candidate, but there is no suitable one yet.

This is all a matter for later. Now Wen Yan has to open the eighth stone door first.

The mountains between the Seventh and Eighth Stone Gates are being developed very quickly.

At this point, with the support of various buffs, this kind of normal development is actually no longer difficult. Even if Wen Yan does not actively practice, the power will slowly flow by itself, and he will open up the correct path in the most natural and appropriate way.

On that mountain, there are roads not only on the surface, but also inside.

Just as water flows to lower places, water networks are formed naturally. Routes that look very complicated are actually the most suitable and stable routes.

At night, when everything was quiet, Wen Yan stood in the backyard, facing the direction of the intersection. He was in a state of half-sleep, which he had only discovered in the past few days.

It should be one of the changes derived from obtaining the Xihe Talisman through an abnormal channel.

If you maintain the current state, your practice efficiency will not be as good as when you are fully focused, but you can maintain a state similar to light sleep, recovering your body and spirit.

Given his current situation, two hours of proper sleep a day is actually enough.

If you maintain the current state, the effect will be the same for four hours, but this time there is an additional effect, which is equivalent to practicing for four hours.

Moreover, he could maintain this state for the entire night. Just as a normal person could sleep for eight hours, he could also practice for eight hours.

All in all, this kind of practice, neither hurried nor slow, makes better progress than spending two hours a day practicing intensively. Moreover, the results of this kind of practice are more stable, smoother, and less restless.

When it was dawn, Wen Yan opened his eyes. He strengthened and stabilized it again. He had reached the critical point of solving the eighth stone gate.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to break through tomorrow.

He stood there regulating his breathing as the power in his body slowly spread out. It was not as fierce and overbearing as before, and it was not difficult to conceal. Instead, it was like the sunlight at this moment, when the sun had not yet risen, but had already spread out and began to slowly illuminate the sky and the earth. People did not feel anything, but it had already arrived.

At the neighbor's house next door, the Jishui Goddess opened the balcony door and looked towards Wen Yan with a dazed look on her face. She had a sense of déjà vu, but she couldn't remember what it was.

At the little fox's house, the fat fox got up very early. She opened the back door and went to the backyard. Wearing home clothes, she took care of the flowers and plants in the backyard. This time was just right for watering.

The little fox stood on tiptoe, stretched its neck, and looked past the flowers on the tree towards Wen Yan. When it saw Wen Yan, its eyes widened.

Then she hurried into the room, took a yoga mat, went to the backyard, and then faced the east very devoutly, kowtowing with all her heart as if she was worshiping the moon.

After she bowed for a few minutes, she looked up again and saw Wen Yan standing outside the fence with confusion in his eyes.

"Are you...practicing yoga?"

"No, I'm worshiping the sun." The little fox answered as a matter of course.

"Don't you all worship the moon?"

“No, I worship everything.

I just felt your strength, it was like returning home.

Then I remembered that when I was a child, I heard that every winter, when the New Year came, people would worship the sun.

At that time, I didn’t understand what the Chinese New Year was, but I only recently understood it thoroughly.

I just suddenly thought of it and said goodbye immediately. "

"..." Wen Yan was speechless for a while: "Is this how you worship the moon? You worship everything?"

"Yes, we should worship anything that can give us strength, but the sun is too strong, and the strength we can absorb basically comes from the bright moon, so we worship the moon more. It doesn't say that we can't worship other things. It won't hurt to worship more."

The little fox was telling the truth, and she thought it was normal.

Wen Yan thought about it and felt that he had a stereotype in his mind. Many creatures worshipped the moon because it was beneficial, and other things were derived later.

"You said familiar, what do you mean? How familiar is it?"

"I can't really explain it. It felt like I was basking in the sunshine of my hometown, and then I suddenly remembered something I heard when I was a child. It's always right to worship the sun during the Chinese New Year."

The little fox frowned and thought hard, unable to clearly explain her feeling. She just did what she thought of. It didn't matter whether it was good or not, as long as there was no harm, which was in line with her idea.

Just like before, if something did good to her after eating it, it didn’t matter. If it didn’t do any harm, she would just take it home.

This was something she learned a long time ago from a squirrel. She used the things that the squirrel liked to eat but she couldn't, and exchanged them for things she needed, such as alarms.

After hearing this, Wen Yan raised his head and looked towards the east. The sun was about to rise.

“Isn’t the sun in your hometown different from the sun here?”

"It's not the same. It's very different." The little fox said very decisively.

Ever since she accidentally gained a little knowledge, she knew that the sun in the sky, which looked no different from her hometown, was 1.3 million times larger than the world beneath her feet.

It looks small only because it is very, very far away.

At that time, she was very clear that the sun in this world was definitely not the sun in her hometown.

Because she remembered that there was a place in her hometown, a sunbathing place, where the sun would set and rise again the next morning.

Her hometown is not like the real world, it is a huge planet.

The little fox only talked about these things when Wen Yan asked her. Many of these things were actually common sense that she had learned from reading books and watching TV in the past two months. They were very different from what she thought was common sense.

"What is the name of the sun in your hometown?"

"Just call it the sun."

"..."

Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask her if she knew the word Xihe.

Wen Yan was quite receptive to advice. After being advised, he never uttered these two words again, regardless of whether there was someone around or not.

He even had a feeling that when he actually said these two words, some changes would occur.

I said goodbye to the little fox, and the little fox didn't think much about it. He washed up and went to work.

After worshiping the sun today, she felt refreshed and warm all over. Although it was a cloudy day today, she could still feel that the winter sun felt different when it shone on her body.

It was like when she was a child, when she had her first stroke of good fortune, had a full meal, and then lay on a rock, basking in the sun, with that feeling of warmth both inside and out.

She will never forget that feeling in her life.

Therefore, in her mind, no matter how charming it is, it is just a tool for her to protect herself or find food. As long as she can have enough to eat, who cares whether it is a tool or not.

Especially when she touched her belly and felt that she had a little belly, she just felt satisfied and not anxious at all.

The happy fat fox comes to the fried chicken shop and starts a happy day. Nothing is happier than being surrounded by a pile of food.

On the other side, Wen Yan closed his eyes with some confusion.

He closed his eyes and sensed carefully, and finally he could sense clearly that there was a faint power being transmitted from the Xihe Talisman.

The source of that trace of power was not the talisman itself, but came from not far away.

He stood in the backyard, sensing carefully for a long time. When the sun rose, even though he couldn't see the sun, the sunlight could still shine on the earth, he finally sensed it clearly.

The joy that was like a fox falling into a fried chicken den could even be conveyed through this tiny bit of power.

The moment Wen Yan sensed it, he was 100% sure that it was a little fox.

This trace of power came through the Xihe Talisman. Although the power after conversion was very weak compared to his current strength, it was still a mosquito leg with a piece of meat on it.

Wen Yan roughly understood that the little fox was worshiping him just now, so it activated one of the effects of the Xihe Talisman.

After thinking about it, Wen Yan's mind moved, and his consciousness appeared in a bright and soft space.

There was only a thin thread emitting faint light, flying from afar. Wen Yan stretched out his finger and flicked the thread lightly, causing it to fly back.

"I feel happy. It's the first time I feel such pure happiness after eating. As for the rest, forget it. I don't like it."

The thin line spun in circles, flew back, and fell back onto the little fox.

The little fox felt nothing. She just felt that when she was basking in the sun today, she had a sense of home, that's all.

Also, the chicken she fried today tasted better than yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday...

Wen Yan opened his eyes, smiled, reached out and touched the back of his hand.

As a true Shenzhou person, he doesn't like this kind of power, nor does he like others worshipping him in this way.

It's not that there is any great and glorious reason. Part of it is because he feels that he is not worthy of it. The biggest reason is that he simply doesn't like it. So let this power go back to where it came from.

Wen Yan felt that this Xihe Talisman could calm his power so that it would not be too intense, exceed the limit, and burn himself. This alone was enough and was a crucial help.

at the same time.

In the Great Wilderness, there is no concept of New Year. The creatures here only know that the long winter is finally over.

Some of the snow and frost by the river melted, and green grass began to grow underneath. Some plants that had been dormant for a winter began to revive.

In the east of the earth, a scorching sun slowly rises, shining on the earth and giving these plants the energy they much need to revive.

Some intelligent creatures have started to worship the sun, although they don't know if it can be considered a tradition or when it started.

Those forces continued to gather, and some of them crossed the barriers of the world and came to the real world.

The sea of ​​clouds on the cliff has been very calm these days, and the old Taoist priest who has been guarding it has just enough time to take a break and do something else.

For example, I am guarding here, but my consciousness has already followed the magic sword to meet many people I haven't seen for a year.

Some of these old friends may no longer be around by this time next year after we meet them this time.

The sea of ​​clouds was surging. Too much power was gathered together. After colliding with the power here itself, it emitted a glow like the aurora.

The rosy glow above the sea of ​​clouds looks like colorful gauze, floating continuously.

As time passed, the rays of light rolled along with the sea of ​​clouds, as if they were sinking back into the sea of ​​clouds.

It keeps flowing out and keeps rolling back, turning into a rare and beautiful sight.

The old Taoist priest, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

He was daydreaming, but just now he suddenly felt something strange in his body, so he came back immediately.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I saw a scene I had never seen before.

There is a force that does not belong to the real world. It penetrated, collided with the real world, and turned into a rosy glow.

However, these forces that could be contained in the world just came over and then rolled back again, leaving the old Taoist priest a little confused.

He frowned slightly and thought, has the connection between the two worlds deepened, with more and more infiltration and overlap?
But after carefully sensing it, the old master was a little stunned.

This feeling is surprisingly similar to worshipping gods, and even more like burning incense to worship gods.

It’s just that the people of Shenzhou worship gods, and all this power is attributed to the gods, and the gods have no self-awareness.

Most of them actually fell into the Heavenly Palace and served as the force for its survival.

The various Taoist sects in the world, with the help of the power of the gods, practiced various Taoist methods to suppress the evil spirits.

This force is actually the power of gods.

To explain it roughly, the blue bar belongs to the Taoist priest himself, and the basic skills are borrowed. The final performance depends on the Taoist priest himself.

In the end, ordinary people who encountered problems had their problems solved by the Taoist priests, and then continued to burn incense and pay homage.

This is a big symbiotic cycle.

The titles, names, ranks and positions bestowed upon gods by emperors of all dynasties are actually all within this large cycle.

The system established more than two thousand years ago has not undergone any fundamental changes to this day.

It has basically always been a situation where everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together, but the foundation has always been on people.

During the heyday of the dynasty, wandering ghosts, evil spirits and monsters did not even dare to approach the city.

Most stories about evil spirits and demons take place in remote and sparsely populated rural areas.

This is the way of playing in China, which is more sustainable and different from many places outside.

Now, there is too much power gathered here, and the old master can sense it clearly. He can even see the rays of light that are transformed after the power collides with the real world, and the nature of the light is different.

He thought that these forces were infiltrating to speed up the infiltration, but he didn't expect that those forces came out from the sea of ​​clouds, turned a corner and fell back. This made the old Taoist priest a little puzzled.

He had never seen such a situation before.

If it can penetrate, it means that there is a target to receive it in this world.

But he really couldn't understand what it meant by turning a corner and falling back. He had never seen it before.

After much thought, even in some places, the gods based on faith seem to be unable to choose whether to accept or not?

Of course, some gods really do hope that there are more and more of them, and they will accept everyone who comes, whether it is fanatical or general belief.

Even with the old Taoist priest's experience and accumulation, he still didn't understand what was going on.

Finally, as the glow faded away, everything returned to normal.

The old Taoist priest could only feel that the times were changing too fast, with more and more new changes, so it was normal that he had never seen them.

In the early morning of the next day, he came back from his old dream and, based on a hint of inspiration, he went to check the information about the Great Wilderness in the Lieyang Tribe.

I saw a part of it, which should come from the little fox. He saw in it that in the wilderness, when green grass sprouts would grow again by the river, it would be regarded as the beginning of a seasonal cycle.

Some creatures over there will worship the sun at this time, especially the plant monsters, who take this matter more seriously.

After reading this passage, the old master suddenly realized.

It was the talisman that Wen Yan chose, the talisman that came from outside the Heavenly Palace.

This is it, and it can only be this.

But Wen Yan didn't want it. If he had asked for that power that day, maybe there would be a chance that he could have opened a crack in the punishment and given himself a glimmer of hope.

Last night, on a whim, he went back to his old dream, met a boy, and was given a hint.

I looked at the information about the Great Wilderness today, and indeed, I found that hint of inspiration.

He originally thought that something had arrived.

But the result was completely beyond his expectations.

No wonder that power can collide with the real world, yet still be contained by the real world.

The old Taoist laughed three times.

"This guy, an opportunity to become a god was placed in front of him, but he didn't even take a look. He might not even know that such a strong force has infiltrated the world."

This was exactly in line with his impression of Wen Yan, which was that it was impossible to predict what Wen Yan would do in the end, and it would definitely be different from what they imagined.

After figuring this out, the old Taoist priest pondered and made a decision.

He had maintained his own position before, because his position could not be completely regarded as the position of the Tianshi Mansion.

So he didn't interfere. Wen Yan could choose left or right, he thought it was all OK and acceptable.

Now that he had personally experienced it, Wen Yan did not even want a chance to maintain his deification.

The old Taoist priest was quite shocked. This opportunity was the result of some guys trying their best to plan for many years to get a slight chance.

Recalling his feelings yesterday, he felt that Wen Yan probably didn't understand, so he instinctively refused.

This is harder and more real than making a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

He felt that it was time for the Tianshi Mansion to take a step forward.

He summoned several current senior executives of the Tianshi Mansion and got straight to the point.

"I intend to support the contemporary Lieyang in the name of Tianshi Mansion. If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak your mind."

The expressions of the several Taoist priests who came all changed.

The purple-robed Taoist priest, who was closest to the old Heavenly Master and usually helped him with chores, knew when he heard these words that this was a firm decision and a final choice.

This is completely different from the previous non-interference.

To be honest, the former Tianshi Mansion actually had some grudges with the Thirteenth Patriarch of Buyeo.

The result was that two consecutive generations of Heavenly Masters, although powerful enough, failed to ascend.

The Tianshi Mansion declined for a period of time afterwards. Since then, the Tianshi Mansion has always maintained an attitude of "don't ask me, I don't care" regarding Lieyang's affairs.

The old Taoist priest’s own attitude cannot be equated with the Taoist Temple.

Now that such a big change has been made, the Taoist priest in purple robe did not say anything. He recalled his contact with Wen Yan, and he had no objection to what the old Taoist priest said.

He originally felt that Lieyang was Lieyang and Wen Yan was Wen Yan, and that being conservative would lead to no good results.

He looked at the others, then waited quietly with his eyelids drooping and without saying a word.

When the old Taoist priest called himself "me", he was speaking in a nice way, at least he was really asking for their thoughts.

When the old Taoist priest calls himself "poor Taoist", maybe the next sentence he will say is "poor Taoist also has some knowledge of Taoism".
