Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Phoenix Nirvana

Huang Qianshan hurriedly bowed his body and looked back, he was so frightened that he cursed: "Fuck, why did the clothes catch fire!" As soon as the fire on the clothes started to burn, the mercury mist didn't fade away, but instead accelerated.Huang Qianshan hurriedly took off his coat, the blue smoke was disturbed, and the mercury gas invaded the lowest space where they had been lurking.Seeing this, Liang Xiaoyu hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, but the mercury vapor penetrated everywhere, even if she covered herself until she suffocated, it didn't help much.After she covered her mouth and nose, she even closed her eyes, but she still gave the man opposite her a vicious look.

The coat on his body suddenly burst into red flames, how could Huang Qianshan care about Liang Xiaoyu's white eyes, and after he got up for a while, he frantically slammed into it, throwing the coat a long distance.Because the blue smoke was too thick, I couldn't see where the clothes were thrown, but I could only vaguely see a ball of long-haired red fire in the blue smoke.The series of actions just now caused the blue smoke to flow eastward and westward, and it was too late for Huang Qianshan to climb down now, the mercury vapor had already surrounded him and Liang Xiaoyu. In fact, since entering the mountain, Huang Qianshan knew very well that this trip would not be easy, but he has been facing it positively.He could have the audacity to ask to leave, and from the point of view of Lao Yue, she would not refuse to pay her wages.Huang Qianshan just wanted to do things from the beginning to the end, since he accepted the job, he had to finish it, but he didn't expect that before the job was finished, he would finish playing first.He is a bit regretful now, if he is given another chance, he thinks that he will definitely take the money and leave, and go back to enjoy the family happiness with his old mother, so as not to go through this troubled water.

In an instant, Huang Qianshan's mind turned thousands of times. He was about to throw himself on the ground when he saw two figures walking in the blue smoke.There was no one in the fairyland for a long time, if there were the corpses of the first batch of intruders, there would be no living people.Huang Qianshan thought to himself that his longevity must have come to an end, and the bull-headed horse from the underworld came to take him away, but he didn't expect that there are such things as ghosts and gods in the world, and it is God's pity to open his eyes before he dies. The two figures got closer and closer, their heads were much bigger than normal people, and the shape of their heads was also weird, not like a cow's head but a bit like a pig's head.After Huang Qianshan fell, those two people walked up to him. He vaguely saw the lower body of these two people, and felt very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.But Huang Qianshan had already suffered from miasma, and he fell into a coma again. He lost consciousness before he could figure out who these two people were.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Qianshan felt his head was heavy, as if there was a big boulder hanging on it, almost touching him.When he opened his eyes vaguely, he saw a woman looking at him stupidly, and the woman's red lips were almost touching his mouth.Huang Qianshan straightened up in fright, but the pain in his whole body made him shiver, as if his bones had fallen apart.He looked at the woman in a daze, and found that there were still a few people in the dim space. After gradually regaining consciousness, he realized that the woman opposite was Cai Minmin. "Why are you?" Huang Qianshan asked in a daze.

Cai Minmin was a little embarrassed, she turned her head and shouted: "Sister Yue, Mr. Huang is awake!" "Lao Yue, are you alright? I thought... what happened just now?" Huang Qianshan rubbed his temples and asked, "Where is this place?" "This is the cabinet in the Hades. Mercury can't get in for the time being, and the air is still enough." Lao Yue replied calmly, she left Gu Changtian and walked over, "It was Hao Dali and I who carried you and Xiaoyu back just now. , but if you hadn't stood up, we wouldn't have been able to find you and Xiaoyu."

Huang Qianshan stood up suspiciously, and he looked around. This is a strange Hades.Hao Dali slumped on the ground as if collapsed, leaning against a dark corner, he only smiled weakly at Huang Qianshan, and said nothing else.Liang Xiaoyu was lying on the ground, not sure if she was really fainted by the mercury gas poisoning, or if she was pretending to be unconscious, but nothing happened.The disfigured Gu Changtian sat curled up on the stone chair, looking weird, like a rotting corpse in the muddy light. There are no sculptures of royal power symbols in the inner hall of Hades, only some illusory beasts or misty clouds.It stands to reason that if there are kings buried in the Underworld, they will spare no effort to create a shocking symbol of kingship, praising their own life.But the palace of the underworld is like a palace in mythology, without the characteristics of the ancient Guo state at all, and there is no statue of the queen of the ancient Guo state, or even her coffin.

"Isn't this the queen's tomb, or is the queen of the ancient Guo State not buried here at all—in other words, she hasn't died yet?" Huang Qianshan trembled when he thought of this. If a person lived for three thousand years, what would it be like? Lao Yue looked at Huang Qianshan in a daze, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?" "It's all right." Huang Qianshan quickly replied, "By the way, before I passed out, the lower body of the person I saw was yours, but the head seems... different from a human?" Lao Yue laughed and said, "That's because..."

"Sister Yue!" Cai Minmin screamed suddenly, she stood at the stone door of the inner hall, staring outside through the crack of the door. "Minmin, what's the matter?" Lao Yue walked over and asked. "Look quickly, what's going on outside... what's going on outside?" Cai Minmin shouted nervously. Lao Yue and Huang Qianshan approached behind the stone gate suspiciously, squinting their eyes, only to realize that the outside was already brightly lit.The blue smoke is like a galloping horse, rolling over the fairyland like an avalanche, which is very close to the momentum of a tornado.There was a red flame in the blue smoke, and it rose slowly like the tongue of a huge beast.The underground stars fell more and more, like a meteor shower, quickly passing through the blue smoke, leaving behind a flash of colorful light dust.Every corner of Hades was illuminated by the light from the fairyland, as if all of this was a dream, or as if all of this happened in a fairyland.

Huang Qianshan suddenly remembered that he had lost a piece of clothing that was on fire before he passed out, but mercury gas is not natural gas and cannot burn.The smaller the fire, the bigger it is, it cannot be burned by a piece of clothing, but the edge of Yaochi is full of cinnabar ore, so it will not catch a big fire.Huang Qianshan thought about it carefully, his jacket caught fire for no reason, probably related to the fallen underground stars, could it be that the so-called underground stars were actually fire?The stars turned into fire points and fell on his coat, that's why they caught fire, otherwise it's impossible to ignite spontaneously, right?

"Oh my god, that's... Look, is there a phoenix in our fire!" Cai Minmin shouted in surprise. Lao Yue stared blankly at the outside of the Hades, she stayed for a while before saying: "It's really a phoenix, it's a miracle!" With this shout, both Hao Dali and Gu Changtian were attracted, and they opened the door halfway, except for Liang Xiaoyu, they all squeezed behind the door to take a peek.Huang Qianshan was squeezed to the end, but his height had the advantage. Even standing behind, he could still see the situation outside the Hades.The red flame in the blue smoke gradually became clear, and a huge phoenix indeed sprang out from the heart of the fire, making a gesture of soaring into the sky like a rainbow in the fire.

The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds in Chinese myths and legends, and it is also called fire bird and phoenix in western mythology.Combining the ancient texts of various places, the general image of the phoenix is: chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, five colors, and a height of about six feet.Like kylin, phoenix is ​​a collective term for male and female, the male is phoenix, and the female is phoenix. They are collectively called phoenix.The phoenix is ​​also like the Chinese dragon. The phoenix also combines the remarkable characteristics of various animals. It is a mythical spirit beast and fairy bird known to every household, and it is also considered to be a fictional creature. Lao Yue exclaimed excitedly: "This phoenix is ​​simply reborn in nirvana, it is a rare spectacle!" "Phoenix nirvana? I know this! Our ancestors said that the Phoenix will be reborn from the ashes!" Hao Dali said arrogantly. Huang Qianshan couldn't help correcting him from behind: "The saying of Phoenix Nirvana is not what our ancestors said." Hao Dali couldn't hold his breath, and argued: "Don't look at my big head and thick neck, I also read an ancient book! Isn't "Phoenix Nirvana" written by Guo Moruo, I can still recite it! Listen—New Year's Eve is approaching In the sky, a pair of phoenixes flew to and fro, singing mournful songs, and flew here with fragrant trees in their mouths, and flew to Danxue Mountain. On the right side of the mountain, there was a withered phoenix tree, and on the left side, there was a rest. Liquan, in front of the mountain there is a vast sea..." "That's enough, that's enough. Before Mr. Guo wrote this thing, people already talked about Nirvana." Huang Qianshan interrupted. He said that in western mythology, every time a phoenix dies, a fire will ignite all over its body, and then it will be reborn in the flames and gain stronger vitality than before. People call it the phoenix nirvana.Repeatedly, the phoenix gained eternal life, so it also has the name of "Phoenix".China does not have the theory of phoenix nirvana. This theory comes from abroad, and nirvana is a transliteration of Sanskrit.The old translations are Ni Gen and Ni Huan, and the free translations are Mie, Ni Mie, and Death, etc. It is the highest ideal that all Buddhist practice must achieve. "You still know Sanskrit?" Cai Minmin turned around and asked in admiration. Gu Changtian also opened his burnt mouth and said, "Brother Huang, you are amazing." Huang Qianshan smiled awkwardly. In fact, he was not proficient, only a small part of it, and most of the rest.Although the theory of Phoenix Nirvana came from abroad, they all knew the general meaning, but Huang Qianshan felt that it should not be called Phoenix Nirvana.Because at the time of Nirvana, the phoenix was already so old that its feathers fell out, and it was very ugly, not as gorgeous as the one outside.Huang Qianshan stared at the phoenix outside the Nether Hall, it was dancing wildly in the red flames, and with the raging flames, it quickly flew above the Nether Hall, and the people in the inner hall could only see its wagging tail. Everyone was amazed, this scene was incredible, the phoenix was flying in the fire, the fire was falling like a shooting star in the blue smoke, and the blue smoke was billowing like a sea of ​​clouds.Huang Qianshan hated that he didn't have a camera, otherwise he must record the scene at the moment and show it on the TV.If this picture cannot be called beautiful and beautiful, then there is nothing in the world that dares to call it beautiful.Looking at the scene of the phoenix nirvana, everyone forgot the pain, let alone the situation.Fortunately, the blue smoke did not pour into the Nether Hall more, they were all attracted by the phoenix, so even if the stone door of the inner hall was opened, it would be defenseless. The Phoenix Nirvana lasted for five or six minutes. During this period of time, almost no one spoke. They were all focused on staring outside, afraid of missing a little detail.After the phoenix nirvana ended, no new phoenix appeared in the sky above Yaochi, but the blue smoke faded, and the falling fire points gradually decreased.Huang Qianshan thought he could take a look at the Phoenix, but he didn't know that he had rushed to He Kong, and couldn't help but feel very disappointed.He wanted to rush out immediately to see the situation outside the Hades, where did the phoenix come from, and where did it fly after being burned.But there is still blue smoke outside the Hades, if you go out now, let alone see the phoenix, I am afraid that you will be blind before seeing it. Huang Qianshan really wanted to go out and have a look, the impulse of curiosity made him feel hot all over, suddenly he remembered that if Lao Yue and Hao Dali could walk into the thick blue smoke and rescue him and Liang Xiaoyu, then they must have a way to go out again.Just now Lao Yue was going to talk about how to save them, but Cai Minmin suddenly called out that there was a strange scene outside, so everyone focused on the Phoenix Nirvana.Huang Qianshan remembered that the lower bodies of the two people who came to rescue him were indeed Lao Yue and Hao Dali, but their heads were weird, like pig heads. At the end, Huang Qianshan asked Lao Yue in front: "Miss Lao, how did you and Brother Hao go out just now? I remember your heads are like pigs' heads. What's going on?" Before Lao Yue could answer, Cai Minmin pointed to the corner, Huang Qianshan looked over knowingly and couldn't help being surprised.
