Extra Chapter 13 If life were just like the first time we met
When the lotus seeds bloom and we meet outside the universe, the world will be at peace.
The departure of Venerable Cihang is like a close friend who has known him for many years traveling far away. From then on, there will be no shore in the universe and no one will be able to see him again.
"When we met again outside the court, he drank a thousand glasses of wine in one day."
Zhang Ruochen knows very well that the Six Paths Universe seems to be prosperous and peaceful at the moment. However, the potential crisis has already made it difficult for all those who know about it to breathe.
The enemy has arrived!
Most of those who can survive the Era War have the world in mind, a transcendent pattern, and a strong sense of responsibility in everyone's heart. They went out early to be outposts, to provide a way out for the Six Paths Universe, and to help Zhang Ruochen and the Eight Great Origins in their chess game. Fight to be the first.
This can be said to be a difficult road ahead, with a narrow escape from death.
Zhang Ruochen pinched the lotus seeds in his hand, his mind and thoughts were running all the time, and before he knew it, he came to the shore of a golden holy lake.
To the east of the lake, there are mountains and numerous peaks.
In the green forest with sparse branches, you can see the green roof of a dining hall rising out, and the smell of incense and candles is flowing, and the sound of bells startles the birds.
In the lake, two white geese with no mottled feathers swam around aimlessly. When they saw Zhang Ruochen on the shore, they immediately stepped on the water with their bright red flat feet, as if grasping a life-saving straw. Swim over.
"Great Emperor, I have finally seen you. Please undo the seal on us. We already know we were wrong!" Goose opened his mouth and shouted.
The second goose cried in a dragging voice: "I don't want to be a big white goose and be trapped in this stagnant water all my life. I want to be a phoenix, with all my power sealed. After hundreds of thousands of years of practice, I will still be an ordinary goose when I return. .”
"Emperor, we were raised by you, but we were stolen by an old drunkard, and we mistakenly entered Renzu's family. We had no choice before, but now, we want to be two good geese." Goose Avenue.
Zhang Ruochen's thousands of thoughts returned amidst their cries, he stared at the water and said with a smile: "Who sealed you?"
Goose Er immediately burst into tears and complained: "It's that damn big-faced owl. He can't become a phoenix himself, so he is jealous of us and wants to seal us to our original form."
Goose Daqi said angrily: "He himself is the disciple of Ren Zu, but he calls us traitors. We can't help ourselves, Great Emperor."
Goose Er said: "That black boy is not only covered in black hair, but his heart is also black."
…
Of course Zhang Ruochen knew the situation of Goose Da and Goose Er. In their situation, they really had no choice.
But, is there really no choice?
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since you have known for a long time that Grand Master is a human ancestor, you have had too many opportunities to tell me this top secret over the years. But you have never done anything in this direction, or even hinted to me. .”
"I just think you are too cowardly to do it, for fear of being discovered by Ren Zu. But if it were Xiao Hei, even if it died, it would definitely try its best to tell me this vital secret. "
"This is the difference between you and him!"
Goose Da, Goose Er suddenly couldn't say a word.
Zhang Ruochen certainly understood that although Goose Da and Goose Er were raised by themselves, they spent most of their time following Renzu, and it was also the resources given by Renzu that raised them to a height that they could never reach. They followed
It is reasonable and reasonable to be loyal to our ancestors.
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen threw the lotus seed in his hand into the lake, and then said: "You two, just guard this lotus seed in the lake. When the lotus seed displays its leaves and blooms its fragrance, the seal on you will be unlocked and you will be free again."
.”
Zhang Ruochen is a person who misses old friendships, so he will naturally give Goose and Goose a second chance.
Prajna walked out of the hall, passed through the pale golden morning mist that escaped from the lake, and came along the path. He was dressed in white layman's clothes, with wooden hairpins on his hair, and his skin was covered with frost and snow. He asked: "Venerable Cihang has left."
?”
"Yes, we left in a hurry. Shi Qiandai's appearance made everyone's mood after finally relaxing become tense and uneasy again. Many arrangements that could have been done calmly now become imminent."
Zhang Ruochen saw something strange in Prajna's eyes and said, "You want to go out too?"
Prajna said: "I received a letter from Master. They are about to set off and take the same path as Master Cihang... There is also a letter from you!"
The master she was talking about was naturally the God of Nu Tian.
Zhang Ruochen took the talisman letter from her hand.
The words on the letter do not belong to the Lord Nutian, but to the Lord Fudo Mingwang.
Zhang Ruochen was not surprised at all and watched with a calm attitude.
After a while, he put the letter away, looked at the boundless realm of gods with his hands behind his hands, and said: "There is always someone who has to go out first and break the game, and he has to be the first to get in. The Great Master and Emperor Wa have a very deep friendship, and they have a plan.
and entering the game, we have more hope.”
Emperor Wa has been laying out the plan for many years and is the first person to go out into the Six Paths Universe.
The meaning of the Fudo Mingwang Great Lord is that he hopes Zhang Ruochen will sit in the rear and make the Six Paths Universe like an abyss that chooses people and devours them. Any intruder will never return.
If you are good at attacking, the enemy will not know what you are defending. If you are good at defending, the enemy will not know where you are attacking.
But how could Zhang Ruochen be willing to be a "keeper"?
Zhang Ruochen said: "Do you want to go out with Lord Nutian and the others?"
"Everyone in the world is moving forward fearlessly, how can the Zhang family be willing to stay behind?" Prajna said softly with elegant red lips.
These words instantly made Zhang Ruochen feel happy and laugh heartily: "What a Zhang family! Yanchen, I didn't want to restrain you and make you like a bird in a cage, unable to fly freely between heaven and earth. But the wedding is about to happen, how can I let you go?"
We have gone through three lives, three lives, and three reincarnations together. Wouldn't it be a pity not to formally marry you?"
"There will be opportunities to get out."
"The Great Master's Zhang family can embark on a dangerous journey without hesitation. How can Zhang Ruochen's Zhang family be just mediocre people who are pampered and privileged?"
"It's been a long time since I've been back to Kunlun Realm. Let's go visit the graves of Prince Qianshui and his companions together?"
"Okay!" Prajna said.
After the death of the royal family members of Qianshui County, they were all buried in Hanyan Mountain in the Eastern Region.
The Eastern Region has experienced many disasters and changes, but the tombs in Hanyan Mountain have been preserved after all. Here, it can be said that the only evidence that the deceased princess "Huang Yanchen" once existed in the world.
Princess Yanchen is not just a shadow that lives in their memories.
Incense was poured into the tombs one by one, and paper money filled the sky and the earth.
Zhang Ruochen lamented that things in the world are like running water, and said: "How about... let's change the name back to Huang Yanchen?"
"No!"
Prajna refused and walked down the Hanyan Mountain first.
She knew that as long as she didn't change her name back, Princess Yanchen would always live in Zhang Ruochen's memory, that sunny afternoon in her youth.
If it were changed back, he might not cherish it so much.
What cannot be found is the most precious.
Next, Zhang Ruochen and Prajna traveled to the mountains to enjoy the scenery, and went to the Holy City of the Eastern Region to visit the gray-haired Chen Wutian.
The high-spirited Dong Wutian in the past "Heroes" almost lost all his teeth and could count the number of white hairs on his head. In the Era War, too much life span was consumed.
Zhang Ruochen invited him to be Prajna's mother-in-law, and Chen Wutian happily agreed.
When any woman gets married, it should be a lively and festive event. There should always be family members who stand up to support the occasion, create atmosphere and build momentum. They may even say a few harsh words to avoid being bullied after getting married.
Since Lord Nu Tian is leaving, without the elders of the master's sect, the Chen family can only take over.
Huang Yanchen’s mother, Chen Liuli, is part of the Chen family.
Chen Wutian looked like a little old man, his body had long shrunk and his words were leaky. He made a strong statement on the spot: "Since you have found me, Old Chen, Yanchen, if you are bullied in the Origin Temple in the future, all you need is a letter from the Chen family.
I will definitely support you and will never give up. I, Chen Wutian, have never been afraid of anyone in my life, and I said the same thing in front of the emperor. If Wan Zhiyi had not held the imperial edict of Queen Chi Yao, he would have defeated the emperor from the Chen family.
Take away?"
"We will do our best to make the wedding dress and dowry today. We will not be inferior to other companies."
…
Next, Prajna stayed at the Chen family, waiting quietly for Zhang Ruochen's wedding ceremony and marriage certificate. All aspects had to be formal.
It's a true matchmaker's marriage.
When Zhang Ruochen returned to the Origin Temple, he sent A Le, Tun Xiang Rabbit, and Demon Ape with a large group of troops to go to the Kunlun Realm on his behalf to recruit people.
The gifted woman made a total of eight copies of the marriage certificate. The names on it are: Prajna, Luo Ji, Yueshen, Bai Qing'er, Lian Xi, Feng Caiyi, and Ling Feiyu.
Other women have already held wedding ceremonies.
The eight copies of the marriage certificate also included "Nalan Danqing"'s own copy, but she secretly hid it.
As for "Ling Feiyu"'s marriage certificate...
It was Zhang Hongchen who learned that the talented lady from the Holy Book was the host of Emperor Tiandao's wedding, so he took the initiative to come and do it.
At that time, Zhang Hongchen happened to see the talented woman writing the marriage letter of "Nalan Danqing". Under coercion and inducement, the talented woman finally compromised.
"So the talented aunt wants to be my little mother? Add my mother's name, otherwise I will not return this marriage certificate to you. I will send it to the other eight of the Nine Heavens Mysteries. Will they give it to you then?
Do you regard him as a heretic and a traitor?" At that time, Zhang Hongchen seemed to have discovered a huge secret and had a long night of trouble with the talented scholar.
In the final analysis, the talented lady of the holy book is truly Confucian, Taoist and ethical. She has feelings in her heart, but she forces herself to be reserved.
She had too many worries. She was afraid that her affair with the emperor would come to light, she was afraid of being criticized by the people in the world, and she was also afraid of being ridiculed and opposed by other members of the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
Of course they have the right to object.
Because Jiutian Xuannv is both nine people and one person.
This is the reason why none of them are married. If any Xuannv has an affair with a man, won’t the other eight become unclean along with them?
This is a problem that has not been solved for hundreds of thousands of years!
The Holy Book Talent has been hiding her marriage to Zhang Ruochen, partly because she was worried about the Queen's reproach, partly because she couldn't muster enough courage to face the facts, and partly because she didn't know how to explain it to the other eight Xuannv. She could only keep telling her.
Put it off until the wedding day, until the deal is done.
She could only convince herself silently in her heart: "Danqing, Danqing, what can you do? The emperor is too powerful. You can't pretend that what happened in the Origin Temple that day didn't happen, right? You can't hide your belly from others.
In some time, the Queen will still see the clues."
The talented lady of the holy book does not want to be the moon god, so she keeps giving herself courage. When the time comes, she will have the courage to face Chi Yao, face the other eight Xuannv, and face the surprised eyes of everyone in the world.
…
Zhang Hongchen returned to Meiyuan and threw the marriage certificate with gilded text in front of Ling Feiyu.
Ling Feiyu, who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, hesitantly opened it. After reading it, he looked at it in disbelief: "My marriage certificate? The marriage certificate with Master Ruochen? How can this be done? This joke is too big!
"
Zhang Hongchen sat with his legs crossed, confident, and said with a confident smile: "I'm not kidding at all, I have sent a large number of people to prepare the dowry. A mortal can have a red dress hundreds of miles away. For the emperor's wedding ceremony, a thousand miles red dress is far from enough. Thousands of miles...
…If Wanli Hongzhuang didn’t exist, those useless people below wouldn’t have to live anymore!”
Zhang Hongchen has his own power and countless followers. He can be called the great sect of the world. He can arm-wrestle with Zhang Gushen who is in charge of the earth tripod at any level.
Ling Feiyu was silent, and after a while he said: "Is this the emperor's will?"
In her heart, Zhang Ruochen is more respected and admired. He is the emperor of heaven and earth, and the ancestor who stands upright. Using the word "Master" to commemorate him is simply because she has reached such a high level!
If the emperor really wanted to marry her, she knew that she would never be able to resist or disobey.
Zhang Hongchen said: "No, that's what I mean. But on the wedding day, when we are dressed in red robes, the suona is blown, the sedan is carried in, the gongs and drums are loud, and there are firecrackers all the way, who dares to blast us out? Who will?
How dare you have such courage?"
He continued: "Don't worry, I have one. The Plum Garden is one of the nine palaces and seventy-two gardens of the Origin Temple. Do you think anyone is qualified to live in it?"
“Once you move in, it’s like acquiescence.”
Ling Feiyu said: "Since it is not the emperor's intention, this matter is absolutely inappropriate."
"What's wrong with marrying the Emperor of Heaven?" Zhang Hongchen was puzzled.
"There is nothing wrong with it! But I am Ling Feiyu, a young person practicing in the Liangyi Sect, not your mother. The family you want to repair, the mother you miss the most, is long gone!
"
After saying this, Ling Feiyu pushed open the door and left straight away.
Zhang Hongchen was stunned at the same place, big tears in his eyes fell unconsciously one by one, and his heart was so sad that it was hard to describe.
Finally, she rushed out like a stream of light, caught Ling Feiyu back, and settled herself on the chair.
"No, you are my mother, you just haven't recovered your memory yet! I'm not trying to fix anything, I just... just don't want to lose. Mother, I am Hongchen, I am Hongchen, you will definitely recognize me in the future
.”
…
Zhang Ruochen and Jiutian Xuannu were discussing various details of the wedding, and all the matters of the entire wedding ceremony were left to the nine of them.
The Goddess of Command "Fairy Concubine" is responsible for etiquette, the Goddess of Magical Hands "Qing Mo" is responsible for wine and food, and the Canglan Martial Saint "Wan Canglan" is responsible for order...
The nine people were extremely cooperative and happy. It was an honor to be able to prepare a wedding ceremony for the emperor that attracted worldwide attention.
This is the biggest happy event in the Six Paths Universe after the pain of the Era War. All races will surely come to pay tribute, and all the gods will congratulate.
In the atmosphere of lively discussion, the melodious sound of flute came from outside the hall.
Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting on the throne, looked toward the palace door, with a warm smile on his face, and took the initiative to leave his seat and walk out the door.
Jiutian Xuannu was all surprised. In this world, there were not many monks who could attract the emperor to go out to greet him personally. It could even be said that there was not even one.
Under night.
The sound of the flute is pleasant and sweet, just like a boy and girl playing in the bamboo forest, with small bridges and flowing water, colorful fallen flowers, and carefree laughter.
This is "Lanyu Song"!
When he was a child, Zhang Ruochen created it to make the crying Kong Lanyou laugh.
She remembered it all her life.
A song called "Lan You" turns black hair into white hair.
The childhood sweethearts of that year have long since been lost, and everyone is no longer young, but the two children by the stream in my memory will never grow old.
The sound of the flute stopped and the lingering sound gradually faded away.
Kong Lanyou walked out of the night holding a flute. Although his hair was white, his face had not been damaged by the years and was still as bright as when he was young. He smiled and said: "People in the deep forest don't know."
"The bright moon comes to take a photo." Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the independent hall with one hand behind his back.
Kong Lanyou said: "My aunt said that she, as mother, should have made the groom's wedding attire herself. But she really couldn't spare the time, so she asked me to try it on first to see if it fit and whether it could bring out the beauty of the bride.
My cousin is brave and handsome."
A young divine attendant, dressed in neat and gorgeous divine robes, carefully walked out from behind Kong Lanyou, holding a wooden box in his hand and not daring to look directly at Zhang Ruochen.
Kong Xuan has passed away long ago.
This divine attendant is Kong Lanyou’s new registered disciple.
Entering a room in a vacant garden, Kong Lanyou personally helped Zhang Ruochen put on new clothes, combed his hair, tied up his bun and tied his crown in front of the mirror. They were quiet and warm, telling each other many past events.
The two of them had had vague feelings and had feelings for each other, but they were delayed by the troubled times and could not get together once in tens of thousands of years.
Over the years, the affection between cousins has long surpassed the affection between men and women.
People and things must be in the right time and the right place to make things happen.
If you miss it, that article will be passed by, and your heart will never be moved again, but on the contrary, you can retain the best memories of each other.
Is it a gain or a loss?
If life is just like the first time we met, we will never tire of seeing each other again.
…
The new book is scheduled to be released on the 30th, with a four-character title.
