"I don't understand either." Zhao Shu looked downcast. He had been practicing hard for many years, and one of the first steps was to send the Lingxiao back to the True Yuan Jade Mansion, so that he could benefit from it and enjoy the fate of immortality.
If Zhao Shu had just missed the chance to meet the True Yuan Jade Mansion, then he might feel better. But the Jing Zhen sword light emitted from the cave sky was clearly intended to block him out.
And the separation from Lingxiao made Zhao Shu feel that he had lost his guidance, as if he had become a headless fly, and he felt confused.
"Can you tell me the name of that immortal?" Han Yuanzi asked.
Zhao Miao thought about it for a while and then said: "Her name is Lingxiao, she is a female fairy."
Han Yuanzi thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Just such a name is completely unbelievable. In my impression, I have never heard of this immortal family."
Only then did Zhao Shu realize that Lingxiao might have never revealed his true identity to him, so he added: "The cave that appeared in Dunjia Mountain is called Zhenyuan Yufu. Have you heard of it, senior?"
"Zhenyuan Jade Mansion, Zhenyuan Jade Mansion..." Han Yuanzi muttered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "To be honest, I really haven't heard of it. But I don't dare to boast that I know all the stories of ancient and modern immortals and true palms. Some ancient
It’s not surprising that the Immortal Family is unknown.”
Now Zhao Shui was completely confused. Many of the things Lingxiao told him in the past were probably fabricated out of thin air and could not be verified. However, Zhao Shui did not dare to say it openly before, so naturally he could not ask others to help find out.
"I would really like to know how you met this Lingxiao Immortal?" Han Yuanzi asked: "You need to personally escort me to explain that this Immortal has suffered a great disaster and why she returned to the cave.
Just to re-cultivate the immortal body."
Zhao Shu nodded and said, "That's true, and this matter is somewhat related to the Shangjing Sect."
"Is it related to us?" Han Yuanzi asked slightly surprised.
"The place where I found the Lingxiao was a cave of a great demon." Zhao Shu explained: "The great demon was called Bai E Gong. He has long since disappeared. It is said that he invaded Tiancheng Mountain a thousand years ago. During the battle,
He was severely wounded by Shangjing Zong and fled all the way to Dongtu."
"Wait a minute." Han Yuanzi made a spell, and a moment later several volumes flew directly into the farmhouse from elsewhere and unfolded in the air.
"Thousands of years ago... that was probably when Master Baoguang was in charge of the sect." Han Yuanzi flipped through the book in the air and read ten lines at a glance: "Oh, I found it - 'In the past, there were three demons with yellow manes, white foreheads, and Cangyan standing side by side.
To, pretending to be a mediator, but actually colluding with evil people in order to steal the Immortal Scriptures'... There were indeed many evil spirits invading Tiancheng Mountain in those years. After all, it was the day when the Golden Eyed Demon King was making trouble."
Zhao Shuze said: "In his early years, Mr. Bai'e accidentally obtained a magic weapon called Zhenyuan Lock, which was the key to opening the door to the cave. The true spirit of the Lingxiao resided in it. It is said that this object was passed around several times and was finally solved by Mr. Bai'e.
Transformed, the True Essence Lock fell into silence in the cave for nearly a thousand years and has not seen the light of day."
Han Yuanzi asked: "Do you think the True Yuan Lock was stolen by Bai Egong from Tiancheng Mountain? However, I saw that there is no such thing as theft in the sect's records."
"That should be obtained elsewhere." Zhao Shuyan said.
"Thousands of years ago, Kunlun Island was not stable." Han Yuanzi said: "Although people were inhabited in all directions at that time, outside the city settlements, they were often barbaric places where evil spirits were rampant. It was even worse than today, and some were huge.
The monsters and monsters simply split up one side.
Nowadays, the five kingdoms of Kunlun Continent stand side by side. Even though there are many evil spirits causing trouble, it is much more difficult to control a country than it was in the past. For example, in the Jiuli Kingdom, the demon god of the southern land also used the ten witches of Fengju to ask for sacrifices. As for the result,
There’s no need for me to say it.”
As time goes by, things are not static. Even though there are ups and downs from time to time, the momentum of Kunlun Continent’s great prosperity of humanity cannot be reversed. The war between the five countries is still a battle between people. Although many immortal monks and evil spirits are involved in it,
But no one dares to claim to be in charge of the situation alone.
"I still can't figure it out." Han Yuanzi waved his hand, and the scroll flew out of the house. He heard him say: "Since Lingxiao wants you to escort her back to Zhenyuan Jade Mansion, but all your past actions have often led to life-and-death adventures.
If you are not careful, you will die. As an immortal, Lingxiao, can we just let you do whatever you want?"
Zhao Shu also felt a little puzzled, but still replied: "Actually, when I first met Lingxiao, she took the opportunity to break away from the Zhenyuan Lock and escape into the depths of my brain palace. The Zhenyuan Lock was taken by Chongxuan Hall
They confiscated it when they forcibly occupied the cave..."
"Oh, that makes sense." Han Yuanzi crossed his arms across his chest: "The True Essence Lock fell into Liang Tao's hands, which is one of the reasons why you took refuge in Chongxuan Hall."
"Yes." Zhao Shu no longer needs to hide it now.
Han Yuanzi raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows gently: "Naogong, should I say that you are too bold, or are you unprepared? If you can get into your brain and claim that you are an expert in the immortal family, we generally regard it as
The evil spirit that bewitches the mind.”
"I had doubts." Zhao Shu said: "But Lingxiao did teach me profound immortal skills and gave me a lot of guidance in my past cultivation. Without her, I would never have achieved what I have today."
Han Yuanzi laughed and said: "I think Emperor Ruiding was probably like this back then, thinking that he had received some inspiration from heaven."
"Senior, do you think the Lingxiao is an alien from heaven?" Zhao Shu asked: "But I personally went to the altar to perform Dharma before and sent the Lingxiao to the True Yuan Jade Mansion, and the connection between it and the induction cannot be faked. What's more, the Ruiding Emperor also received the Cave Heaven.
Blocked by sword light? How to explain the difference between these two phases?"
"This makes sense." Han Yuanzi thought deeply in silence.
"Lingxiao also told me that the True Yuan Jade Mansion has no owner for a long time, but she is very familiar with the situation inside." Zhao Shu recalled: "But she was always vague in her words. Finally, after she entered the cave, she seemed to have noticed
What, but there was no time to spread the news."
Han Yuanzi elaborated: "Lingxiao can enter the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion, which shows that she has not been reprimanded by Dongtian. And you have contributed a lot, and you are the one who opened the door by practicing the law yourself, but you are turned away. I'm afraid this shows that
One thing - Zhenyuan Jade Mansion does not welcome any outsiders."
"I'm sorry I didn't understand what the senior said." Zhao Shu was puzzled.
"Lingxiao knows the situation of Zhenyuan Jade Mansion and has lived in the Zhenyuan Lock for a long time. It can be seen that she has a close relationship with the Lord of Cave Heaven." Han Yuanzi said: "The reason why Lingxiao can enter Cave Heaven without hindrance is
This relationship. Since no one is in charge of the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion, it must have been operating according to established laws by sending out sword light to stop you and Emperor Ruiding."
Zhao Miao nodded and said: "Lingxiao once mentioned that there is a Jingzhen sword in the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion that can guard the cave sky. If there is an invasion by evil spirits, the sword will be activated if it senses it."
Han Yuanzi smiled and said: "It's true that Emperor Ruiding was forced to retreat, but you also got choked."
Zhao Shu was speechless, and Han Yuanzi added: "It is very rare for a cave to stay in the human world. If it were not for extremely serious reasons, the immortal family would definitely not stay in the human world if they opened a cave."
"Besides the True Yuan Jade Mansion, are there any other caves stranded in the world?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It is almost extinct now, but there are still some people who can trace the past." Han Yuanzi said: "Do you know the Our Lady of Yaochi whom Yaochi Country believes in? In fact, it was originally an ancient female fairy named Yaochi Guishan Fairy Mother.
His title is the same as Dongtian.
According to ancient books, the Guishan Cave Heaven in Yaochi has been in the human world for hundreds of years. The Guishan Fairy Mother established a sect and taught the Dharma at Langfeng Peak. There were once hundreds of birds paying homage to her. Over time, not even the divine birds and spiritual birds were counted under the Fairy Mother Seat.
There are so many of them who have attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. This is where the Immortal Family’s ascension is also known as Feathering, which is where it comes from.”
Zhao Shu asked again: "The Fairy Mother Guishan allowed Dongtian to stay in the mortal world just to establish a sect and spread the Dharma?"
"I'm going too far." Han Yuanzi waved his hands with a wry smile: "The real reason is that in ancient times, floods occurred frequently, and all living beings suffered from them. Langfeng Peak is close to the source of the Western Wasteland River, and the Fairy Mother used Cave Tianan to control the crowds.
Mountain glaciers contain floods from their source."
"How can the immortal cave be so powerful?" Zhao Shu exclaimed in amazement.
Han Yuanzi said: "The water potential of the mountains and rivers has not yet gathered into a major trend, but it is easy to block it. If the river water is really rolling down, the small amount becomes large, and the immortal family will find it difficult to resist. In addition, the Guishan Fairy Mother does not just block it, but
It uses caves and sky to store water from the source of the river, just like a dam. Depending on the dryness and abundance of the downstream river, it can either drain or store it, and it can be balanced and balanced."
Zhao Shu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't the cave filled with water from the source of the river?"
"Otherwise, where do you think the name 'Yaochi' comes from?" Han Yuanzi said with a smile.
"Hearing this is an eye-opener." Zhao Shu said: "The immortal family has different actions in the world. Like the Guishan Fairy Mother, she can really save all people from dire straits. In the past, it was me.
It’s too short-sighted.”
"It's not just all the people." Han Yuanzi reminded: "When the flood comes, all living beings will suffer. Legend has it that hundreds of birds visit Guishan, and they may instinctively take refuge at first. The Fairy Mother of Guishan follows the trend and enlightens the birds to make them
Be your eyes, ears, mouth and tongue, listen to all directions, and deliver your message with wisdom.
Therefore, most of the disciples of the Guishan Fairy Mother are non-human beings. So much so that the statues of the Holy Mother worshiped by the Yaochi Kingdom look like tigers and leopards, and are dressed in feathers. They don’t look much like ordinary people... Well, did the Fairy Mother have a human body before she became enlightened?
That’s two things to say.”
"Senior, are you saying that the Immortal Mother of Guishan is not an ordinary person who has cultivated the immortal way?" Zhao Shu's face was shocked.
"Isn't it strange? There were many non-human races in the ancient immortal family. Even if there were people who cultivated human bodies, they often looked different from ordinary people." Han Yuanzi said with his fingers: "What kind of ribs have two wings, are covered with hair and have horns, and have square blue eyes."
"Tong, there are so many snake-shaped lower bodies like this. Our Shangjing Sect also has a collection of atlases, that painting, it looks quite scary."
Zhao Shu then thought about it, weren't the disciples he accepted originally a group of marmot monsters? Cultivation of immortals should not be limited to the opinions of the tribe, not to mention that the customs and situations in ancient times were very different from today's, and they cannot be generalized.
"Except for the Guishan Fairy Mother, the other immortals who let Dongtian stay in the world are either to prevent disasters or have other wishes." Han Yuanzi said as he thought: "Have you ever heard of the Jiuquan Prison?
"
Zhao Miao's eyes lit up: "Lingxiao also told me that the Jing Prison used to imprison monks and magicians in the Tianxia Dynasty is a part of the Jiuquan Prison. She also said that the Jiuquan Prison can control all ghosts and gods.
Spirits, and they also have to connect with the laws of heaven and earth. When the prison builder ascends the throne, he must be consistent with the laws of the prison and share the same spirit..."
Having said this, Zhao Shu suddenly stopped thinking. Seeing him like this, Han Yuanzi touched his chin and said, "Am I right? Liang Tao is not the first to think of this. He has more complete plans and ideas than him, and his cultivation level is better than his."
People with more powerful powers than him have tried it."
"But Jiuquan Prison has not been built yet." Zhao Shu said.
"Those ancient immortals who created the Jiuquan Prison turned their caves into prison cities with the intention of establishing the laws of the underworld." Han Yuanzi slowly shook his head: "Unfortunately, they did not succeed in the end, and those immortals have all died.
fall."
Zhao Shu suddenly thought: "It has been rumored since ancient times that if a monk is not destined to ascend, he will disintegrate and transform into an underground master to dominate the netherworld. Although the Jiuquan Prison has not been completed, the netherworld law has still made great achievements, and the Tianxia Dynasty is the legacy of it.
……I see!"
"What do you know?" Han Yuanzi asked.
"It's the Houtu Palace!" Zhao Shu said: "The rituals and rituals initiated by Zanli Guan of the Tianxia Dynasty were based on the Emperor Tianhou Tu, and the inheritance of Houtu Palace laid part of the foundation for the Zanli Guan's jurisprudence. And "Emperor Wu Tu"
In the Sutra, there are rituals such as descending to the underworld, saving the underworld, and setting up mountain prisons. If I guess correctly, Houtu Palace is the descendant of the immortal family who founded the Jiuquan Prison!"
"It is not a lie that the ceremonial officer of Tianxia Dynasty summarizes the essence of his predecessors." Han Yuanzi nodded and said.
Zhao Shu let out a sigh of relief. From this point of view, it is no wonder that Liang Tao is targeting him. Just because Zhao Shu is proficient in the art of praising the official, even without Liang Tao, sooner or later other experts from the Xian family will be targeting him.
.
"Senior, do you think that there is a special reason why the True Yuan Jade Mansion stayed in the world?" Zhao Shu asked after pondering for a long time.
"The Cave Heaven of the Immortal Family is not an ordinary mansion that can be left alone if no one lives in it." Han Yuanzi said carefully: "The Cave Heaven remains in the world, just like a ship floating on the vast ocean. Facing the turbulence,
Waves, how to steer and sail is very particular. Just like the Turtle Mountain Fairy, even if she has to settle the cave in one place and collect the water from the river source, it is still a long and meticulous effort.
As an ownerless cave, Zhenyuan Jade Mansion has not been contaminated by the turbid air of the world for thousands of years, and it is not settled in one place. Instead, it follows the movement of the heaven and earth. It can be seen that the laws of the cave have been adjusted and completed in advance. Such painstaking efforts have been achieved
Arrangement, maybe the Lord of Dongtian has never thought about letting Dongtian ascend? As for the specific reason, I didn’t see the reason for a while.”
Zhao Shu also realized that since what Lingxiao said at the beginning was not completely true, then obviously the theory that he ascended to heaven after returning to the cave could not be fully believed.
"But, I can also see some mystery from the methods used by Zhen Yuan Jade Mansion to deal with Emperor Rui Ding." Han Yuanzi's smile had an unfathomable meaning: "It's not to kill, but to expel, not just Emperor Rui Ding.
, along with the Qian Ji Spirit Moment. Are you trying to drive away all the extraterrestrial objects that do not belong to Kunlun Continent?"
Zhao Shu thought that Lingxiao's subtle attitude towards aliens from the outside world might be related to Zhenyuan Jade Mansion? Then what was her intention in wanting to ascend and leave, to get rid of the mundane world?
"Okay, stop thinking about it now." Han Yuanzi slapped his thigh: "We don't know much right now, and making random guesses is a waste of time. You can just be a guest in Tiancheng Mountain these days."
