Chapter 26 Taiyi Zhenren: I’ve learned a lot about the jade tripod!
"Uncle, are you afraid?" Qin Yao asked deliberately.
"hehe."
Taiyi Zhenren laughed dryly: "What do I have to be afraid of? It's just that I have calculated that this Yang... Qin Chan has no relationship with me as a master and disciple!"
Being rejected directly by him, Qin Yao was not disappointed. Instead, he said with a smile: "Let's not mention whether we have a relationship between master and apprentice. Is it okay for us to stay with you for a few days?"
Taiyi Zhenren asked: "Why do you want to live here? How can I be as safe as Kunlun Mountain?"
Qin Yao's face was full of sincerity: "The main reason is that I want to exchange Taoism with Master Taiyi. If you are willing to follow us back to Kunlun Mountain, then we have no objection."
Taiyi Zhenren waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, nephew Qin, it's unlucky for you to come. I'm preparing to retreat to practice. This retreat will last for ninety-nine and eighty-one years, so..."
Qin Yao immediately said: "You shut yourself up, and the four of us will protect you."
Taiyi Zhenren: "..."
Hey, hey, you depend on me, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately said straight to the point: "No matter how long you stay here, I will never accept another apprentice."
Qin Yao said: "Looking at what you said, it seems as if we are forcing you to accept disciples. Don't worry, we will never engage in moral kidnapping."
Taiyi Zhenren: "..."
"Master, you have always been silently dedicated to your apprentice, and this time my apprentice will pay your respects to you." Nezha then said, "Even if you retreat, no matter how long it takes, your apprentice will always be there for you."
Master Taiyi was helpless.
Even his disciple said so, how could he refuse?
You can't force people away, right?
If so, what would Nezha think?
The key is that he is worried that the weight of his master in Nezha's heart cannot be compared with that of his sworn brother who appears later!
"No matter what, no matter what, it's up to you."
Exhaling a long breath, Taiyi Master said seriously: "Tell me a few rules to protect me. It is strictly forbidden to laugh and play, and it is best not to make any noise. Otherwise, if I make a mistake in retreat, I will have to start the retreat again."
"Don't worry, we promise not to disturb you." Qin Yao said firmly.
Taiyi Zhenren nodded, immediately closed his eyes, and silently operated the magical power, with a faint red glow visible on his body.
Qin Yao knew that he was pretending, but he still cooperated with his performance, assuming that he believed it.
"Hey, when did this lotus bloom? It looks so beautiful." After a moment, Nezha glanced into the lotus pond from the corner of his eye, and an innocent smile quickly appeared between his eyebrows.
Master Taiyi frowned slightly, but he used his spiritual senses to monitor the behavior of everyone in front of him.
Then he 'saw' Nezha walking towards the lotus pond and reaching for a huge white lotus.
"stop!"
He really couldn't hold it back and suddenly opened his eyes.
Nezha's little hand stopped in front of the white lotus and looked back with a surprised look on his face: "Master, why are you nervous?"
"Who is nervous? Am I nervous?"
Master Taiyi subconsciously objected, and then said earnestly: "Nezha, the white lotus is also a life, how can you take it out of the lotus pond just for the temporary lust of viewing it?"
Nezha silently retracted his finger and said: "I didn't say I wanted to take it out, I just wanted to touch it. Master, since you have broken the skill, tell me when did this lotus bloom?"
Master Taiyi said calmly: "About ten days ago, why do you care about this?"
"I'm just a little curious. The lotus hadn't bloomed when I came here last time. Even from the first time I stepped into the Golden Light Cave to now, this is the first time I've seen the lotus bloom." Nezha said: "If this lotus isn't It bloomed ten days ago, I thought..."
"Don't think so."
Master Taiyi interrupted and said: "I'm going to start the retreat again. Please calm down for a while and don't disturb me anymore."
Nezha smiled and said: "You continue, you continue, just pretend that the disciple does not exist."
Master Taiyi slowly closed his eyes, still deliberately releasing his immortal energy to appear as if he was practicing with all his strength, but in reality he was pondering the reason why Qin Yao stayed.
As I was thinking about it, a terrible guess suddenly appeared in my mind like a silver bottle exploding.
Damn it, isn't this guy here for the lotus lantern in the lotus pond?
Five thousand years ago, when he was flying over this mountain, he suddenly saw a treasure light rising into the sky from the mountain, shining brightly. At that time, he was so excited that he thought it was his great opportunity.
Unexpectedly, I followed the treasure light to find this cave, and the dazzling light dissipated in a lotus root.
He tried to refine the lotus root and tried his best, but he still couldn't get it right.
Reluctantly, he invited Senior Brother Yuding here, hoping that he could help him.
In fact, the choice of the jade tripod was also the result of his careful consideration.
First of all, Master Yuding was already a waste at the beginning. Regardless of his magic power or magic weapon, everything was sparse. Let alone being able to defeat him, even ordinary juniors could not defeat him and did not have the ability to snatch this treasure from his hands. .
Secondly, looking at the entire Kunlun Mountains, and even the entire three religions, only Yuding has read the most books, has the widest knowledge, and even knows ancient treasures and even ancient legends well. In this case, he is undoubtedly the best candidate. .
And when Jade Cauldron carefully studied the lotus root, he told him that it was made from the lotus lamp that Nuwa Empress used when she created human beings. Nuwa Empress used this lotus lamp to bring light to the three worlds, and at the same time, it also brought light to the three worlds. It gives all saints a source of enlightenment, so among the holy treasures of merit and virtue, there is no other divine object that can rival the lotus lantern.
Even, it is difficult to reach even one hundredth or one thousandth...
After Nuwa returned to seclusion, she turned the lotus lantern into a lotus root and hid it in the world.
This lotus root will bloom only when it breathes the breath of absolute love.
What is absolute benevolence?
That is great kindness.
What is great mercy?
That means having a benevolent heart towards everything within the three realms.
The corresponding one is small kindness, with a kind heart but no great love.
For example, himself.
Speaking of which, Yuding is the only person in the entire Kunlun Mountains who knows that he has a lotus lantern.
Coincidentally, Master Yuding was Qin Yao's master.
What's even more coincidental is that as soon as the brothers and sisters arrived, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond bloomed.
A coincidence can still be regarded as destiny, but with such a coincidence, how can he believe in destiny?
It must be that Jade Cauldron discovered that Qin Yao or Qin Chan had great kindness and asked them to come and get the treasure in the name of becoming their disciples!
Yuding, this fellow, is a bad learner~
Qin Yao also didn't expect that although Taiyi Zhenren didn't guess the beginning, he guessed the essence of why he brought Yang Chan to the Golden Light Cave.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to get the Lotus Lantern from Master Taiyi for Yang Chan.
How did you get it in the original work?
It seems that Master Taiyi calculated a catastrophe in the world, coupled with the fact that the lotus bloomed for Yang Chan, and that he himself failed to refine the lotus lantern after five thousand years of sacrifice, he finally chose to be a favor.
In this case, as long as nature takes its course, the probability that Yang Chan will get the Lotus Lantern after the "flower blooms" is at least 70%.
But one thing is that at the most critical moment, Yang Chan has to stay in Jinguang Cave.
What is the most critical time?
It wasn't the weak water world that created floods in the world, but it was when Master Taiyi knew about this and hoped that someone would come to rescue the disaster.
In other words, for him, the best arrangement he can make now is to let Yang Chan stay in Jinguang Cave!
"Brother Nezha, please take care of Uncle Taiyi first. I will take Third Sister for a walk in the mountains." After sorting out the current needs, Qin Yao immediately said to Nezha.
Nezha nodded and sat down directly in front of Master Taiyi: "Brother, Third Sister, you go ahead, I will just guard the master."
"Master, I'm with you." Roaring Sky Dog said hurriedly.
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Let's go."
In the blink of an eye, a family of three walked out of the Golden Light Cave and walked further and further away until they reached a cliff with a rolling sea of clouds.
"Second brother, do you have something to say to me?" After silently stopping, Yang Chan turned around and asked.
Qin Yao nodded slightly: "From now on, you can stay in Qianyuan Mountain and wait for the day when the fruit appears."
"What fruit?" A look of curiosity appeared on Yang Chan's face.
"Not sure."
Qin Yao concealed the matter about the lotus lantern and said implicitly: "I calculated that Qianyuan Mountain has a great opportunity for you, but I don't know what kind of good fortune this opportunity is. Therefore, you need to wait quietly for good fortune to come."
Yang Chan responded: "I listen to my second brother."
Qin Yao smiled and rubbed her short hair on her forehead, and whispered: "Second brother will not harm you, not now, not in the future, never."
Yang Chan raised her hand and grabbed his palm, with a gentle expression on her face: "I know, I believe... Second brother, do you know what your mother's condition is now?"
Qin Yao pondered: "As far as I know, my mother was crushed under the Peach Mountain."
"Where is Taoshan?" Yang Chan asked.
Qin Yao slowly took out his palm and sighed softly: "I didn't look for it because I know that even if I find Taoshan now, it won't make any sense."
Yang Chan did not agree with this view and looked into his eyes: "Being able to meet my mother is meaningful in itself."
"Maybe you're right, but the risks far outweigh the benefits."
Qin Yao said seriously: "Taoshan must have the Jade Emperor's spies. We are extremely lucky to be able to fake death and escape.
If it is revealed that we are still alive, there will definitely be countless troubles in the future.
Therefore, we must not easily set foot in Taoshan before we have enough capital."
Yang Chan was speechless.
Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
Second brother, these are truly mature words.
at the same time.
Six paths of reincarnation.
Brother Zhang Wu, who was looking around with a thief in his mind, stepped into the temple and came straight to Empress Houtu who was dressed in gold. He bowed and said, "See you, Empress."
"See you, empress."
Brother Zhang Wu followed suit and bowed, but his waist was lower than that of the Golden Crow.
Hou Tu raised his hand and asked: "Get up, why is the eldest prince here today?"
Dajinwu slowly stood up straight and said solemnly: "I heard that at the beginning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, some of the merits from heaven fell on the empress, and the other part was integrated with the Six Paths of Reincarnation and evolved into the Yin and Yang Scroll. The Yin Scroll records the life and death of all living beings.
Shou Yao, the Yang Scroll records the merits and demerits of all sentient beings in their lives, I wonder if the rumors are wrong?"
Hou Tu retracted his arm and said quietly: "It is true."
Da Jinwu cupped his fists and said: "I would like to ask the empress to help me check someone..."
"Who?"
"This man's name is Qin Yao, the descendant of Yao from Yao and Shun. His place of origin is unknown, but his master is Master Yuding from Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain." Da Jinwu said.
Houtu nodded slightly, raised his hand and summoned two bamboo scrolls, hanging them in front of him.
Then each of his left and right hands took out a writing brush, and at the same time wrote the two characters Qin Yao on the bamboo scroll that was filled with immortal energy and flowing light.
In an instant, countless characters rushed out from the two bamboo slips, and were annihilated one after another when they rose to three feet above Hou Tu's head.
Brother Zhang Wu opened his eyes wide, trying to read something from these characters, but found that his brain could not register the characters passing by in front of his eyes.
After half a stick of incense, characters finally stopped spewing out from the Yin and Yang scroll. Hou Tu put away the brush and bamboo scroll and raised his eyes slightly: "There is no one who can match the number."
Da Jinwu's face changed slightly: "Are you saying that the name Qin Yao may be fake? The disciple of Zhenren Yuding may have another name?"
Hou Tu waved his hands and said: "This is not the only possibility! There are at least three other possibilities. First, he was born before the Yin and Yang Scroll appeared. Second, a saint took action and blocked the heavenly sense for him. Third,
He possesses a rare treasure and hides his destiny alone."
After hearing these last three possibilities, Da Jinwu was shaken in his heart again.
Then Qin Yao was a disciple of the Holy Religion. Considering the grace shown by the Yuanshi Saint at the gathering of disciples of the Three Religions, it was not impossible for him to personally shield the heavenly secrets from him.
Compared to this point, the first and third points are much weaker.
"Is there anything else?" Hou Tu asked.
Dajinwu shook his head and thanked him again.
"You came just in time, I also want to ask you for a favor." Hou Tu said suddenly.
Dajinwu's face straightened and he said seriously: "Please give me your instructions."
Hou Tu said, "Can you get me a piece of jade branch?"
Houtu nodded and said: "The jade tree and I have the same root and origin. If we can merge into one, there may be hope for the Holy Path.
But I also know that it is unrealistic for you to pull out the entire jade tree to me, so I only want a section of the branch.
Of course, the bigger the branches in this section, the better.”
Dajinwu: "..."
It’s really hard to repay Hou Tu’s favor!
The jade tree was transformed from Pangu's eyelashes and was extremely precious. Chang'e even exchanged the right to use it with the Jade Emperor for the right to visit Yao Ji.
By the way, Yao Ji led her own troops to arrest her, and Chang'e was Yao Ji's close friend. Coupled with this implicit antagonistic relationship, the test of letting herself go to the Moon Palace to break branches was twice as difficult.
"What's the problem?"
During his silence, Hou Tu asked softly.
Dajinwu took a long breath and said frankly: "I can try my best to do this, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed."
"Whether you can do it in the end or not, just do your best." Hou Tu said with a smile.
Faced with this answer, what else could the Golden Crow say? He could only bite the bullet and agree...
