218 The Living One (1/2)
”The Lord!” The Firmament Stone answered without any hesitation.
Gu Xijiu was shocked!
She heard about The Lord - the sovereign god of this land! The god above everything else who was worshipped by all beings and had become a character of legends.
His existence on this land was like Jesus in the heart of every Christian or the Jade Emperor of the Taoists.
It was said that The Lord might not appear even once in a hundred years. Occasionally showing off some miracles was enough for all beings to worship him for a long period of time.
It was also known that The Lord did not like to be offered sacrifices. Therefore, nobody dared to offer him any. Otherwise, Gu Xijiu would be able to see his drawings at the mansion of the general.
Gu Xijiu observed these drawings and cannot help herself but inquire about the omniscient Firmament Stone, ”What say you, would this be Celestial Master Zuo, The Lord?”
”Definitely not!” The Firmament Stone vehemently denied, ”The Lord is the holiest person in the world and will not be influenced by worldly things. He always shows himself during disasters to save the people. Besides, even if he had appeared in front of anyone, it was definitely unexpected. Also, he usually doesn’t talk to anybody.”
The legend about The Lord which Gu Xijiu heard was the same as what the Firmament Stone had spoke of. So, was that the truth?
She pointed at the drawing with a face, ”Does The Lord seriously looks like this?”
”Perhaps, but I haven’t seen it before. I only saw The Lord wearing masks.”
”But he looks like Celestial Master Zuo! It seems like they’re of the same person.” Gu Xijiu muttered, ”Could they be twin brothers?”
”It should not be. It was known that The Lord is of the same age as this world. And from what I know, Celestial Master Zuo is presently about 100 years old only.” The Firmament Stone revealed everything it knew.
”Then, why do they look so similar? Don’t tell me that Celestial Master Zuo is the reincarnation of The Lord?” Gu Xijiu came out with another guess.
