More than 1,400 years ago, Wukong "first ascended to the world and entered heaven."
At that time, from the golden light rolling thousands of red neon lights, to the auspicious energy spraying purple mist, to the magnificence of the Nantian Gate, to the heaven-suppressing marshal, to the majesty of the golden-armored god-man, to the thirty-three heavenly palaces, and the seventy-two treasure palaces, everything was...
There is a specific description.
Of course, from the perspective of imagination, there is nothing special about it, that is, the architecture is noble and gorgeous, and the fairy home is peaceful and peaceful.
Because the heaven in the world of Journey to the West is originally analogous to the imperial court in the human world, it is a management institution built by secular gods.
In addition, Taishang Laojun is the god of Taoist belief, and Tathagata Buddha is the god of Buddhist belief. The confluence of the three religions is the main purpose. However, Taishang Laojun and Tathagata Buddha still have to listen to the Jade Emperor's orders, which is different from secular religions.
The emperor's principle is actually the same.
The reason why Li Yan considered this was actually to decide whether to go to Nantianmen.
There is a saying that the four major Tianmen correspond to the four major continents, that is, the Nantianmen corresponds to the Nanzhan continent, the West Tianmen corresponds to the Xiniu Hezhou, the North Tianmen corresponds to the Beiju Luzhou, and the Dongtianmen corresponds to the Dongsheng Shenzhou. Which continent?
When you come to the Immortal Family, you should go to whichever Heavenly Gate you want.
But in fact, the most orthodox way to enter and exit the heaven is the Nantianmen, and it is also the best place to observe the lower realm.
When the Jade Emperor ordered his clairvoyance and his ears to watch the lower world, at the Nantian Gate, Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and fought against Erlang Shen. The Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun, the Queen Mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva and all the immortals set up at the Nantian Gate to watch the battle together. The key is
When I went from the lower realm of Taibaijin Star to Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, I also took the Nantian Gate instead of the Dongtian Gate.
Li Yan's hearing went straight to heaven with his gift of listening. There should be a route plan. Taking Nantianmen seems to be the most orthodox way. But precisely because of this, will the already closed Heavenly Court deploy means at Nantianmen to block outsiders?
mana?
Diting's hearing is the best in the three realms, a unique talent, but this is a special period. When the three realms are stable, using this talent to listen to heaven is definitely asking for trouble, not to mention that any ability can be resolved, especially it
His ability is not a secret. If he is targeted, he will also be implicated.
Therefore, after Li Yan's hearing reached the sky, he made a half circle and did not enter through the Nantian Gate, but came to the East Tianmen.
The mist here is misty, and from a distance, the towering Dongtianmen looks like an eternal portal, but there is no guard, let alone a golden-armored god.
Li Yan's hearing entered the Dongtianmen without any danger and continued to go deeper inside.
Passing through the corridors and corridors, and passing through the heavenly palaces, there was still no sign of the comings and goings of gods, and there was no sign of the activities of immortal birds and beasts.
There was total emptiness.
However, there was no obvious dirty infection.
"Like the Dragon Palace, could it be that the gods in heaven have quietly left?"
Li Yan thought of the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. At that time, with the help of the fairy spirit of the little turtle, he broke through the external barrier and quietly entered the Dragon Palace. What he saw was a similar scene.
The temple still exists, but the gods are gone.
Then, he encountered a similar problem as when he was exploring the Dragon Palace.
The heaven is too big, and it is impossible for the listening ear to listen to every place. But after arriving here, the fluctuations of the body of the Inanimate Mother are extremely weak, seeming to be there and not being there. Where can I find it?
Without any obstacles, the effect of listening carefully can still be maintained, but Bajie and the spirit of the divine body cannot hold on, and time is running out.
"Go to Lingxiao Palace!"
In this case, Jinqueyungong Lingxiao Palace is the best place to go.
It was the place where the Jade Emperor held court meetings and conducted political affairs. It was also where Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, saying he wanted to conquer the Heavenly Palace, but ended up staying outside.
Thinking of fulfilling Brother Monkey's dream, Li Yan had a different feeling.
Wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace was once the best memory and the most regrettable dream. Although I knew it was the monkey who was in the wrong, subduing the unruly and unruly nature is actually to tame the wild nature that does not follow the rules and goes its own way, and finally achieves the right result, but it is still difficult to calm down after all.
Now that I have the opportunity, I can fulfill my wish.
Of course, he kept the battle situation below in mind and had no choice but to choose the Lingxiao Palace. If he made a slight mistake, the listening talent that only had one chance to be used would be wasted, and there would be no chance of a confrontation with the Wusheng Old Mother.
So Li Yan aimed at the Lingxiao Palace, and while choosing to move forward, he acted extremely cautiously.
But before Lingxiao Palace entered the close monitoring range, a series of fluctuations in the breathing of several gods came over.
"The seven female fairies...are sleeping here?"
Li Yan's hearing turned and suddenly reached the target location.
It is said that seeing is believing and hearing is false, but the information received by the power of listening is far more detailed than ordinary hearing. Everything in its ears has a unique sound, and it can do more than seeing intuitively.
To be comprehensive.
At this time, Li Yan judged from various details that it was seven fairies with similar clothes who fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
The flower baskets in their hands may be the fairies in seven clothes sent to pick peaches when the Queen Mother held a peach festival in the past.
It's just that every time these seven fairies pick peaches, they are either immobilized or falling asleep...
Like Brother Monkey, Li Yan didn't have much interest in these fairies. He was more concerned about the reason for his drowsiness.
Immortals breathe clean air and exhale clean air, so the places they live in are mostly caves and blessed places. Even if they are not originally, they can be transformed if there are immortals living there.
But now the breathing rhythm of the seven fairies is very strange. Sometimes it is long and sometimes rapid. When it is long, it means the pure air merges and connects the inside and outside. When it is fast, more filthy air is exhaled.
"Be able to break through appearances, listen carefully, discern good and evil, listen to the virtuous and foolish, and the power of listening will help me!"
Fortunately, even in a comatose state, many truths will still be revealed. After a small test, Li Yan quickly obtained two key pieces of information.
First, the state before the seven fairies' coma is very painful and scary;
Secondly, the seven fairies' drowsiness is due to external factors, not pollution and corrosion. There is a mysterious halo of light that envelopes them, and that is the culprit that causes them to sleep forever.
"Is it forbidden by God?"
Li Yan made a targeted move and used the power of listening to stimulate a little, and a familiar but more grand and complex divine forbidden word emerged.
"Sure enough, it is the fluctuation of the spirit locking ring. So the purpose of this divine ban is to make the immortal fall into deep sleep?"
From the initial suppression of Tao Yin and Ling He's self-will, to now even fairies are not immune to it. The name of the spirit ring is worthy of its name.
It's a pity that the cause and effect are still unclear. None of the fairies in seven clothes have fallen asleep. Otherwise, if Listening enters the subconscious, everything can be clearly understood. Now we need to wake them up...
Li Yan did not have the time to be tortured alone. According to the clear instructions given by the appearance of the spirit lock ring, the scope of the search began to change.
Changing the route from the Lingxiao Palace to the place where the spirit ring is locked, the sound of rustling leaves soon came.
Li Yan heard it and knew where it was.
Pantaoyuan.
This place is also very important in heaven, and the flat peach event is named after it. Just as the ginseng fruit tree is to Zhenyuan Immortal, the flat peach tree is also of great significance to the Queen Mother of Yaochi. Many gods and Buddhas feel honored to be invited to the table.
However, Heaven, which was accustomed to peace, made a big mistake. The Jade Emperor personally ordered a certain authority to take charge of the peach garden and test the monkey's nature with the most delicious treasures. Naturally, the result was a feast.
According to the year, the flat peach that entered Wukong's belly has not grown yet...
However, when Li Yan's hearing officially came to the range of the Peach Garden, he didn't care whether those peaches were born or not. Instead, he listened in shock to the sound of thousands of breathings spreading throughout the Peach Garden.
The peach orchard is not deserted to begin with. There are land gods, tree hoeing warriors, water transporting warriors, peach repairing warriors, cleaning warriors, etc., who maintain the operation of the huge orchard.
But it is definitely not on this scale, nor should it exist like these.
Li Yan listened quickly and quickly determined that there was at least one immortal sitting or lying under each peach tree. There were actually tens of thousands of immortals gathered in the entire garden.
"The East Heaven Gate is empty, and all the palaces passing by are empty. All the immortals in heaven have gathered here?"
"No, it's not enough to gather all the gods. It should be some gods..."
There are only 3,600 flat peach trees. Even if there is more than one under each flat peach tree, there are at least 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in heaven, and 100,000 righteous gods with names. No matter how you calculate it, it is not enough.
The key point is, why do they gather in the garden, close to the peach tree?
Li Yan calmed down and started screening.
Sure enough, in addition to the seven fairies, there are many immortals who have also been affected by the spirit-locking rings. According to the different levels of the flat peach, the sitting and lying postures of the immortals and the positions of the gods are different.
Take Guanghan Palace as an example.
There are 1,200 flat peaches on the outermost edge, which ripen once every three thousand years. After eating them, the living beings will become immortals and become healthy and healthy. There is a jade rabbit lying under the tree, holding the forbidden silk thread between its eyebrows;
There are 1,200 flat peaches in the middle, which ripen once every six thousand years. After being eaten, the living beings will rise to the sky and become immortal. There is also Fairy Chang'e and other fairies lying under the tree, with the forbidden silk thread hanging above their heads;
Behind the 1,200 flat peaches, they ripen once every nine thousand years. After eating, the living beings will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will have the same age. It is the Taiyin Star Lord sitting alone under the tree, with the forbidden silk thread protruding from his back;
There are more and more, all of them are female fairies, all of them are in a deep sleep state, and the threads of divine forbidden threads are spreading in the air, sending out strange fluctuations, and converging towards the depths of the orchard.
When this picture appeared in Li Yan's mind, he couldn't help but have a creepy feeling.
Transform all the sleeping female fairies into your own incarnation?
The ten palaces of Yama in the underworld are all transformed into one!
The original body of the inanimate old mother in heaven has transformed into one body!
Who is so capable?
The answer seems to be obvious.
When Diting's exploration reached the deepest part of the Peach Orchard, in the center where countless threads gathered, a standing female fairy appeared in front of her without any surprise.
