Chapter 1354: Stealing the sky and changing the day, the descendants of the desert tribes, Jiang Yi
"After the falcon flies over the river, it must light the embers of three suns with its flying feathers, and then it will receive the mercy of Akhmar and ascend to Aru."
"And the resolute ones who pass the test of regeneration will obtain an unchangeable body, the wise ones who pass the test of breath will obtain endless joy, and the thrifty ones who pass the test of swallowing will obtain an inexhaustible stomach..."
Gabriel stared blankly at the trial he had passed through.
The "gift" written by the priest on the stele should have been just a mysterious prayer after Akhmār's death, but at this moment everyone felt the blessing being bestowed upon them.
The monks were joyful and praised, not to the Arahant, but to the Tathagata who was giving the blessing at that moment.
As long as you do not violate these three qualities, this blessing will not be taken back.
"Dad... am I forever young?" This is how Jade interpreted the shapeshifting form.
"..." Gabriel didn't know, but his body full of hidden wounds felt the vitality of youthful and strong life. The scar representing the battle medal was still there, but all the hidden wounds had been healed.
The axe in his hand chopped out a sharp and swift air blade as fast as thunder.
"Huh! It turns out that the orange-red light lit by the energy fire is the embers of the sun." Paimon learned something new.
Ying looked at the brand new hall as they headed towards the top of the Red King's Mausoleum.
Don't know how long it has been.
Everyone finally reached this highest place.
The "reflection of Aru" that was once shrouded in a sandstorm appeared before them.
It was certainly not a beautiful paradise, because the paradise of the past had long been destroyed. What they saw was the top of the inverted pyramid hourglass, the towering obelisks on the four sides, and the statues of griffins with their wings spread facing each other.
The griffin statue stands on a towering stone platform, dignified and majestic, with a handsome appearance, white roots of its feathers, blue feathers, and a golden crown on its head.
On the rectangular stone platforms at the bottom, there were crawling black and blue jackals with golden collars.
They looked to the left and right, or towards the center of the Red King's Mausoleum.
The four-sided trapezoidal corridor is carved with eyes of wisdom and knowledge.
The semi-eternal ruling matrix guards the Buddha.
"Those who ascend to Arru will be like the sun, which can be rekindled countless times in the long night, and will no longer have to worry about decay and old age."
"One who has ascended to Arru no longer knows what it means to sigh. All that comes to his mouth is joy. His ears are filled with the deeds of the Scarlet King and the songs of joy like birds."
Gabriel recited the ancient text on the red sand slab in a low voice.
The monks nodded and then shook their heads.
Because before them was the temple and the palace published in the desert was indeed the great achievement of the Red King, but that was already in the past.
The Red King used beautiful expectations as bait to lead his subjects to a bitter ending.
The great achievement that they now saw before their eyes was the oasis created by the Buddha, covering the ruins.
Walk to the edge of the platform and take a look. The vast land beneath your feet is a lush green land with blue and green stars dotting the golden land. Birds fly into the sky and sing loudly.
In my ears, I could hear the roar of griffins and the roar of bulls.
These ancient and extinct creatures once again stood on the broken pillars, paying homage to the god in the sun.
This blue sky and this mirage gather here the real "Aru" on earth at this moment.
"What we are seeing now is the great deeds of the Buddha."
"One who has attained Arūpa forgets hunger and thirst. Even if one lets the juice of a pomegranate soak into his stomach and intestines, it is only a pleasure and not a necessity."
No one had eaten or drunk water the whole day, and all their hunger and fatigue disappeared after they went through the trial and saw this place.
Jiang Yi felt that the old cause and effect in his body was broken and new cause and effect was born.
May the wisdom of the Epiphany Hall last forever, may the people of the desert ascend to Aru, may the city of Gur return to its former glory, and may all this last forever.
This is the last wish of the desert people in the "Golden Dreamland" and also the unfulfilled dream of the Red King.
Now the last wish has been fulfilled and the Red King’s dream has come true.
The cause and effect between Jiang Yi, the old desert people, and the power gifted by the Red King was naturally broken.
He doesn't owe anything to the Red King.
And he did not let down the Red King's entrustment.
The sun in Teyvat sets from east to west, and the afterglow of the sunset illuminates the trees and blue lakes on the earth, the waterfalls flowing on the hills, and the evening glories flying here from the rainforest.
"Eternal oasis!" Feligis stared at the magnificent scene in a daze, and time seemed to stand still.
Along the way, she had heard many desert people say that today's desert land is an "eternal oasis", but at this moment, this scene, which is exactly the same as the "eternal oasis" in the tomb of the Mistress of Flowers, truly shocked the heart of this great town spirit.
This scene belongs to all desert people.
This is the wish of the mistress of the lover, but not the wish of their spirits. In their hearts, the status of human beings is ultimately inferior to that of the mistress of flowers.
So she fell silent.
To the east of the Red King's Mausoleum, there is a temple buried in the yellow sand called the "Mirage Sacrifice Site".
That was Zhen Ling’s once carefree paradise and a theater for free dancing.
Later, the wild desert people held sacrifices in the theater to commemorate the lost era, and the theater became a sacrificial site.
The truth of the world and all the sorrows and joys of false mirages can only disappear and merge into the torrent of the earth's veins.
Ruthless and cruel.
The sun slowly sank, and the flow of time in the real world broke Feligis's memories. The night rose as the sun set, and stars appeared in the sky.
"Edict!"
"For all the dead in the desert oasis, only their bodies return to dust, and their consciousness no longer returns to the earth's circulation."
"The consciousness of all the dead souls should ride on the sun boat from the western underworld, travel eastward, ascend to Arūpa, and ascend to the 'Western Paradise'."
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.
Countless rules and orders were in turmoil, and the sacred laws of the heavens were enraged once again.
Feligis looked at her master in surprise.
He saw the master stretch out his hand and point towards the dark and dark west.
The "Spirit of Words" that transcends everything has turned into a new law for this world, changing, erasing, reconstructing, and disrupting the order of the world's heavens.
A sun rises from the west, and in the sun is a wooden boat. The boat carries the consciousness of the desert people and sails towards this place.
All life in the desert witnessed this sudden change in heaven and earth.
They cannot understand the magnificent law that resounds through the desert at this moment, but after death, they will hear these words.
Regardless of whether one is good or evil, one's consciousness will first enter the "Western Paradise" and then their fate will be decided, whether to enter hell or stay in the Pure Land.
Jiang Yi did not react to the wrath of the divine plan. In the past, the consciousness of the lives that died in the desert did not return to the earth vein cycle, but to the "Golden Dreamland" of the Eastern Holy Manifestation Hall.
The consciousness of these desert people no longer belonged to Gao Tian a long time ago.
The former "Golden Dreamland" was contaminated by taboos, and consciousness was distorted and assimilated inside. Now Jiang Yi has opened a "Paradise" in the Taixu Dao Map, embedded in Teyvat, as a pure land for the true consciousness of the dead souls, to carry the consciousness of the desert people in the past, present and future.
In the "Elysium", the consciousness belonging to the "Golden Dreamland" has become the first residents.
The belonging of consciousness is the belonging of destiny, and consciousness is an important component of the resurrection of the dead.
From today onwards, the consciousness and fate of the dead in the desert will no longer be controlled by Gao Tian, but by Jiang Yi.
The solar boat sails above the galaxy, with the sun, moon and stars rotating.
The Minglun School of the Riduofandi Academy of the Institute of the Church of God observed with astonishment that the Southern Dipper, which was once speculated to be the destiny star of the human god, had reappeared in the starry sky.
According to their memory, these six stars had fallen before.
And at Mondstadt's Star-Picking Cliff, Mona observed more.
One by one, the lifeless stars belonging to the dead disappeared.
The sun boat loaded with stars and destiny fell towards the "Paradise".
The Taixu Daotu spreads across the starry sky, projecting the disappearing stars.
"That's..." Mona opened her eyes wide in shock, peeking at the real astrology divination of those stars, she was dumbfounded.
"Stealing the sky and changing the day, stealing the world..." Only this word can describe Jiang Yi's actions at this moment.
Today's Teyvat can be called a planet where four worlds interweave. The Taixu world created by Jiang Yi steals Teyvat's starry sky, destiny, and the consciousness of human beings...
The Southern Dipper is the coordinate of the Taixu Daotu eroding the starry sky.
Mona didn't know how powerful Jiang Yi was now, but she guessed that after Jiang Yi attained enlightenment, he had been stealing the world, and it was a confrontation between rules and order every moment.
The sun has not yet been truly stolen by Jiang Yi, but if one day the sun in Teyvat suddenly changes its owner, Mona will not feel strange.
The sun boat rising from the west disappears from the sight of mortals and sails in another dimension. Every night it rises from the west, places the consciousness on the boat into paradise at midnight, and then continues to travel eastward and falls into the earth veins.
The next day, after the sun sets in Teyvat, it will rise again, carrying the consciousness of the dead souls to sail eastward, over and over again, day and night.
As an adventer who is comparable to the world, Jiang Yi's opponent at this moment has never been any existence on the earth, but the abyss outside the world and the laws of the sky. His enemy is another "world", the invisible "rules and order".
But don't think that he, who is constantly stealing the world, has become so weak in strength and energy that he can be deceived by any living being on earth.
Those who underestimate will eventually pay the price for their underestimation.
His strength has long been engraved in every moment.
The silvery moonlight shone on Jiang Yi's hair. He withdrew his hand after planting the "Paradise" and looked at the monk who was kneeling in praise.
"Tonight, let's rest on top of the Red King's Mausoleum."
"Yes! Buddha!" the monks responded.
There was no need to light a bonfire, for the ground under the moonlit night looked as though it were covered with silver frost.
A Buddhist nun came out. She was a desert girl called "Leaf Dancer" by the desert people, who drove the grass snake.
The people of the sand have always had a tradition of music and dance, which initially served as a tribute to the gods, and later became a performance and fighting technique to please the king.
The beings who inherited these skills are the "Impeller Dancers".
Their gods and kings had all sunk into the quicksand, and the sacrificial dance that they had thought would never be used again was now performed again under "Aru".
The memory of dance remains in the blood of the nation and will never be forgotten.
Just dance! Praise God from the bottom of your heart, and your body will move and perform graceful dance steps.
The girl with long golden hair dances with the spirit snake, and the grass leaves flutter in the air, like the green grass of the desert spreading on the stage.
Another girl jumped up, her body was as light as the wind, she was tall, with gold pendants inlaid with wind elemental gems on her ears and forehead, and a golden shoulder armor on her left shoulder.
Her partner is the "Wind Kite" in the longbow.
These "evil spirits" are extremely dangerous to the owners of the weapons, but they are extremely well-behaved in front of the Buddha.
In fact, the desert people understand in their practice that only those who subdue the "evil spirits" have the greatest hope of becoming Yakshas and Arhats, because protecting the oasis and benefiting all living beings requires "great mantra power."
The seeds of true energy and the mantras passed down by the Buddha, combined with the "Evil Spirit", can give birth to incredibly powerful elements and can transform the body and martial arts.
