On Naihe Bridge, the ceremony has begun.
In the magnificent long scroll constructed by five white bone bronze paintings, the picture started to really move from the first one.
Yama, Black and White Impermanence, Meng Po, Soul Crossing Man and other underworld guards were all guarding the Naihe Bridge one by one, with solemn expressions on their faces.
On the Throne of Bones, Madam White's emerald-colored skirt gradually shriveled up, and her plump flesh and blood evaporated rapidly like snow water, white air hissed out from between her skirts. Under the black hair, there is no longer a charming face, but a red and pink skull.
She left the throne and walked into the first bronze painting.
This is the Scroll of War between Gods. After she threw herself into the throne, the bones quickly disassembled and spliced together, transforming into the appearance of the fallen god.
The god fell from the sky to the earth like a meteor, and carved out a bottomless abyss. Then, in the second picture, her pale hands groped for the edge of the abyss, slowly crawling out bit by bit, and then the next The second scroll took shape, and she merged into the third scroll.
She transformed into a giant bone demon a hundred feet tall, with countless broken skulls and naked women wrapped around her body. She waved her arms and fought with the locust-like figure in the sky. The two bodies were obviously very different. The white-bone demon looked in agony, as if he was being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts all the time.
After a hundred feet of white bones collapsed, an unknown amount of time passed before a skeleton the size of a little girl crawled out of the pile of bones.
It was Mrs. Bai.
She walked with the pile of broken bones for a long time, and finally walked into the sandy river. Using the river bed as a furnace, she boiled the entire sandy river, and drank the soup made from her own bones.
Then new flesh and blood gradually grew on her white bones, and her eyes as she sipped water and looked up at the sky were as innocent as a newborn baby.
Then she walked towards the riverside city, walked into the city, walked into the bustling crowd, and walked step by step towards her bone throne.
All the scenes have evolved again.
Madam Bai walked into the last bronze painting, just like in the painting, and sat down slowly with her back to the throne.
Her face was full of exhaustion, as if she was experiencing her past life all over again.
She sat alone on the throne, never looking at the soul of Naihe Bridge. The skull covered her body like snowflakes, turning into plump and beautiful flesh and blood, with almost no flaws.
By the sandy river, those five white-copper paintings that the old man had painstakingly painted truly came to life after Mrs. Bai walked out of the last one. Between each painting, countless paintings began to emerge, combining those incoherent paintings. The pictures are connected together, each picture is closely connected to the next, and all the pictures are connected together to form a complete story.
These are five paintings that Mrs. Bai spent many years deducing. Now these five paintings exist at the most critical nodes, and they have given birth to countless connected paintings.
If Ning Jiujiu saw this scene at this moment, he would be truly shocked.
Because these paintings tell the past of Mrs. Bai and the story of Linhe Kingdom becoming Fengdu, but these are not just the past. In this city now, these five paintings are equivalent to five towering pillars, constructing this city. The mythical logic of Fengdu.
And mythological logic is one of the keys for every divine kingdom to be able to survive and be self-consistent.
The foundation of mythical logic must be built on real and rigorous facts that have occurred. It cannot be fabricated out of thin air, and then exaggerated changes are made to these facts to cast a mysterious veil over them, turning them into myths.
This veil is the veil that separates the human world from the Kingdom of God. It is like a peach curtain, but its rank is countless times higher than it, because it is a veil made of stories about gods.
If the foundation of the story is too false or the myth deviates from the original, the Kingdom of God will collapse.
At this moment, Madam Bai is waiting for all of this to be completed.
Madam Bai not only wants to build a Fengdu, she also wants to make this Fengdu a real, new kingdom of God!
She said she would grant the whole city eternal life.
How can one live forever in the underworld? The only thing that can truly last forever is the life in myth.
But now she has turned her back on the throne and is sitting alone with a tired look on her face, just waiting for the completion of the mythical logic construction and her coronation as the new king. Although this divine kingdom is still far away from the legendary twelve even if it is completed. Far from it, but it doesn't matter. Turning Linhe City into Fengdu is just the first step of that grand plan.
On the throne, her realm continues to rise, breaking through from the original longevity realm. It won't take long before she can return to the peak of Ziting just like she did during her lifetime. After the Kingdom of God is completely built and she takes over the authority, she will You can step into the five realms in one fell swoop.
"Mrs. Bai, I've brought you back." A maid knelt down beside the bridge, followed by a young man whose hands, feet and mouth were sealed. That was Shu Bai who was captured by the maid.
Madam Bai nodded, and with a little finger of Yingbai, Shubai's body was lifted up by an invisible force, bypassing the huge bone throne, and slowly flew in front of her.
Mrs. Bai has cloud-like black hair, a skin tone like breasts, and her overlapping breasts are long and straight, as if they were carved from ice-cold jade. The lines are so flexible that there is no obstruction. Her fingers rest on her red lips, like black smoke. The young man's extremely shocked face was reflected in the mirror-like eyes at the corners of his smoked eyes.
She hooked her fingers and tore off the seal on Shu Bai's mouth.
Shubai seemed to have been having trouble breathing for a long time, and suddenly removed the big stone that was pressing on his chest. He bent down, took a few deep breaths, raised his face hastily, and stared at the woman on the throne in front of him. .
"You... you are..." Shubai's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief: "You are..."
"It's me." Madam Bai said calmly.
"Bai...Sister Bai?"
Of course, Mrs. Bai today is very different from the girl back then, but Shu Bai still recognized her at first sight.
She became more beautiful, and that beauty was also covered with a mysterious veil, which dazzled him. He couldn't help but shed tears after just one glance.
A few years ago, there was a girl who was cold on the outside but kind-hearted on the inside. She helped him get rid of those who bullied him. She called herself Bai Ling and asked him to call her Sister Bai. She gave him another one. The order asked him to help pick up the goods, and then he just left after saying a few words, as if he was doing an extremely ordinary thing.
After that, this face was engraved in Shu Baili's mind, from the daily haunting dreams to the heartbreak after her death. Now that the sadness has finally been relieved a lot by the years, this girl who should have died a long time ago appears again in front of her eyes. .
It's just that time seems to have traveled through her body for many years, and she has become mature and beautiful. Her every frown and smile no longer has much childish charm, but more majestic and mysterious like a monarch.
"Sister Bai Ling?" Shubai asked again.
Mrs. Bai closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes gently covering her face without any trembling.
Shubai's heart was beating like a drum. He didn't know whether to be excited or afraid. He just looked at the person in front of him steadily and said in a hoarse voice: "Who are you..."
"I know you have many questions." Mrs. Bai finally spoke. Her voice was equally cold, as if the other person was just a stranger: "I'm not lying to you. My name is Bai Ling. You can call me Mrs. Bai like them." .”
"Mrs. Bai?" Shubai was slightly startled.
Bai Ling ignored his question and just said to himself: "Many years ago, my true body was broken into pieces. There were piles of bones. Many of them were scattered in the city. Some of them formed human forms, but most of them were broken into pieces. When some of them appear, they are old people dying. And I gave their memories to make them a part of the plan, and you are also transformed into one of their bones."
Shubai listened to her words, glanced at his helpless but high-altitude body, and looked at Linhe City under his feet, which was filled with white lanterns. He was not sure whether this moment was reality or a dream.
Mrs. Bai's words continued: "But you are different from all of them. You have your own sanity and a complete life. This once made me suspicious and made me want to peel off your skin and see. What did that bone grow into?"
Shubai felt his body tremble after hearing this. He subconsciously touched his back, and his fingers touched his extremely rugged spine.
A few days ago, Ning Jiujiu also stared at his back for a long time.
His real life gate is not even his heart or head, but the bone from which everything is derived.
"I once wanted to kill you and use your spirit bones to fill my godhead, but now it's no longer necessary. I also want to thank that Ning Jiujiu child for helping you perfect your heart." Mrs. Bai opened her eyes again, For example, when the queen receives the returning knight, "Since you have lived until now, I can give you something greater."
Shubai listened to her words, but felt an inexplicable fear, and subconsciously shouted: "I don't want it!"
Madam Bai looked at him calmly and said, "It's not up to you."
After saying this, she sealed his mouth again with a flick of her finger.
Behind him, a corpse suddenly rushed over, knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, something happened. The butcher and a young man in white got into a fight in the street. I will bring this horse face back to Madam first."
"Huh? You actually escaped from that courtyard?" Madam Bai was slightly surprised and said coldly: "Ning Qinshui is really a waste. If he hadn't been in this city, he would have been killed again by his apprentice."
As she spoke, she used her fingers to construct the bones of the human body under the horse's head and gave it spirituality.
Mrs. Bai asked again: "Where is the cow head? Where has it gone?"
The corpse knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The butcher said that the cow... disappeared."
Mrs. Bai didn't take it seriously: "It's just a mad cow. It just broke through the fence and ran into the street. Anyway, it's still in the city. Let the butcher kill the young man as soon as possible. I will provide him with the location of the mad cow and get it as soon as possible." Come."
The corpse was obviously relieved and said: "Yes, madam."
Madam Bai closed her eyes. She was now sitting high like a god. With just a slight thought, she could spread her consciousness throughout the city and lock everyone's position.
But a moment later, Madam Bai suddenly opened her eyes.
The original five bronze paintings containing mythological logic gradually became complete, and her humanity gradually lost, but at this moment, her expression was still uncontrollably surprised.
"The city gate has been moved, and someone is coming in the city again!"
