Chapter 220 Ancient Legend
Yun Qingqing's mind went blank for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she saw Xiao Changheng carefully pinching her jaw and leaning over to cover her lips.
She: ...&;￥#*￥%&;? !!!
From a bystander's perspective, seeing myself being so intimate with a man with my own eyes was completely different from the feeling I had when I was there before.
Yun Qingqing felt that she had never been so confused in her two lifetimes, and her soul wished it would dissipate on the spot.
However, a warm current flowed from her lips into her body regardless of her wishes and flowed to every part of her body.
She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her lips, then she remembered that the body and soul are one, and what she felt was the changes in her own body.
The Yang Spirit, which had originally consumed a lot of energy, has now become more solid.
She suddenly understood that when she was in a state of mental instability and when the five ghosts were moving... she had sought help from this man.
Xiao Changheng drew inferences from this instance and thought that he could wake her up using this method.
Thanks, but it's not necessary!
She raised and put down her hand several times, but when she thought about returning to her body and facing this man directly...she couldn't continue.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally waited for Xiao Changheng to retreat a little to adjust his breathing.
Yun Qingqing excitedly prepared to make hand gestures and stared at him intently.
Back off, back off further~, then she can wake up as if nothing happened!
But her excitement was in vain.
Xiao Changheng pressed his hand against her forehead, feeling the girl's breathing which was much steadier and stronger than before, and was deeply encouraged.
He decided to keep trying.
"Qingqing, I won't let anything happen to you. Just take whatever you need."
The man whispered and pressed his lips against hers again.
Yun Qingqing: ...
She stared at the scene in front of her with a dazed look on her face, and subconsciously performed the Qingxin Jue.
It was not until she tried several times without any effect that she came to her senses and remembered that the Qingxin Jue was of no use to the soul body.
I can't stand it anymore.
Yun Qingqing gritted his teeth, pinched his fingers, and turned into a point of white light, which disappeared into the center of his body's eyebrows.
In an instant, the five senses of the body returned.
The warm touch of her lips brought her the man's fresh breath. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened and her head was buzzing with the sound of blood surging.
When she opened her eyes, she met the man's dark eyes that were so close to her.
Her breathing hitched and her heart beat faster and faster.
Xiao Changheng's eyes lit up with joy and he finally let her go.
"You finally woke up!" The man's eyebrows curved charmingly, but he frowned a little worriedly, and stretched out his big hand to touch her forehead.
"…You don't seem to have a fever, but why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Qingqing gritted her teeth and performed the Qingxin Jue, and her pounding heart finally calmed down.
My rationality returned and the anger just now dissipated.
She looked at Xiao Changheng dimly, secretly mocking herself for being so confused. She should have decisively returned to her body from the beginning. Anyway, it would not be a big deal after she practiced the Qingxin Jue.
At least you don't have to watch the gas-transferring scene for so long.
After being stared at by her for a while, Xiao Changheng's ears suddenly turned red suspiciously.
"Ahem... well, don't get me wrong!" He put his fist to his jaw and coughed, explaining, "What happened just now was..."
"I know, no need to explain." Yun Qingqing interrupted him, sat up and rubbed his eyebrows, "Please leave me alone."
Xiao Changheng curled his fingertips and the light in his eyes dimmed.
But before he could say anything else, he suddenly heard a gurgling sound.
Yun Qingqing's face turned red and she looked down at her stomach.
She had consumed too much energy fighting with the man in black last night, and her spiritual power could not keep up. She was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
The disappointment in Xiao Changheng's eyes disappeared, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"I have been guarding you all night and I am already very hungry. I will ask someone to prepare food. Would you like Qingqing to eat with me?"
Seeing Yun Qingqing nod silently, Xiao Changheng's smile became even more intense, and he went out to make arrangements contentedly.
Yun Qingqing watched him leave and pressed her chest in confusion.
Is this an illusion? The effect of the Qingxin Jue seems to be... not as good as before?
But she quickly put the matter behind her and began to think about the information she had gathered last night.
The situation was beyond her expectations and somewhat serious.
Given the thinness of spiritual energy in this world, it would be difficult for a cultivator to cultivate a Yin Spirit, let alone cultivate a Yang Spirit before their lifespan runs out.
Unless there are extremely special circumstances.
For example, the possibility that somewhere in this world there is a blessed land or cave with spiritual energy hundreds or thousands of times denser is extremely low.
Or, like her...
Yun Qingqing frowned, suddenly feeling a little uncertain.
The spiritual energy in this world is too thin, so she has never connected with the world of her previous life, and always felt that her soul had traveled to another world.
But what if it isn’t?
Dawn's appearance before was already strange. She had actually tried to communicate with Dawn's sword spirit, but the sword spirit's main consciousness had been sleeping, and only a small part of consciousness was retained to respond to her commands and calls.
But Dawn is her life-long magic weapon after all, so it makes sense for it to chase its master across the world.
Yun Qingqing originally thought that the sword spirit fell asleep because it consumed too much energy while traveling through the world.
But not long after, the Tongyun beast, the contracted beast in her previous life, appeared again in the form of a little baby.
Now a strange man in black robe appeared.
Not to mention that he cultivated the Yang God in this world where it is extremely difficult to make progress.
The fact that he recognized Dawn and knew it was a divine sword is an enormous amount of information.
Yun Qingqing’s first reaction was that the person was just like herself, having traveled through time for some reason.
But different characters in one world travel to the same target world again and again. Does such a coincidence really exist?
In her previous life, she was only one step away from the way of heaven, and she knew very well that there was no such thing as pure coincidence in this world.
There is only cause and effect.
Just now, she suddenly thought of another possibility.
A possibility that her subconscious mind had been trying hard to deny.
Could this world be the one she grew up in?
Yun Qingqing's expression gradually became solemn.
"Qingqing?"
Xiao Changheng hadn't seen her go out for a long time. When he came in, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed with a pale face, looking dazed, which was unusual for her.
"What's wrong?" His heart tightened a little, and he immediately stepped forward and asked softly.
Yun Qingqing collected her thoughts and spoke softly:
"Do you know where to find the most ancient history and legends about this world?"
Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned, then curled his lips:
"If you want to know something, why not ask me?"
…
After the acupuncture in the morning, Yun Qingqing did not leave for Tianming Pavilion, but chatted with Xiao Changheng outside the screen of his medicinal bath.
She only found out today that this man was very knowledgeable about history and various ancient myths and legends.
The recorded history of this world is exactly two thousand years. The original owner knew something about it, but it was limited to the major events in the official history and he did not know much about the details.
However, this part of official history is not what Yun Qingqing is most interested in.
Because what she really needs to know are events that happened two thousand years ago, or even earlier.
Without historical records, we can only look for clues in various myths and legends.
What caught Yun Qingqing's attention was the myth about creation, as well as the legend of the great catastrophe on earth in ancient times and Xuannv saving the world.
According to legend, the world was originally a wasteland.
The sky is always pitch black, the earth is scorched by the scorching sun during the day, and at night it is like falling into an ice cave. Without water, no living creature can survive in this world.
One day, the goddess of creation came and felt pity when she saw the desolate scenery. She hoped that the world would be full of life, so she turned her body into mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees. Her breath turned into the blue sky, and her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness created the changing of the four seasons.
When she fell, she breathed a sigh of relief and created human beings and countless living beings. The world became alive from then on.
"What happened after that?" Yun Qingqing asked, "Did the Goddess of Creation die? Did she appear again in the later legends?"
This is important.
The myths handed down from ancient times are often severely distorted, and many facts are obscured by time.
If the creation myth refers directly to the catastrophe of that year, then the goddess of creation should have fallen at that time and never appeared again.
"No." Xiao Changheng's clear voice came from behind the screen, "There are two versions of the legend. One is that the goddess gave up her life to give birth to all things, and now she is one with heaven and earth."
"Another theory is that the goddess has simply fallen into a deep sleep, and will wake up when living beings are in danger."
"However, no matter which legend it is, there is no record of the goddess awakening."
Yun Qingqing frowned and thought for a while, then asked:
"Does the goddess of creation have a name?"
"According to legend, the goddess of creation is also called the Mother of the Earth, and her name is Feng Xun."
"Feng Xun..." A vague thought flashed through Yun Qingqing's mind, but she couldn't grasp the clue at all.
She had no impression of the name, so she had to write it down first.
He asked some more information about the goddess of creation Feng Xun, and wrote them down one by one. He secretly decided to focus on investigating when he had the chance, and asked Xiao Changheng to talk about other major events in the myths and legends.
Especially the legends related to "great catastrophe", "destruction of the world" and "savior".
Xiao Changheng was silent for a while:
"In the myths and legends that I know of, there has never been a disaster that has reached the level of destroying the world, so there is naturally no talk of a savior appearing."
"But there is a legend that can be considered a great disaster."
Yun Qingqing was cheered up:
"Tell me about it."
