This time when he went out, Lu Li adopted Wei Changlong's suggestion and built a plank road to visit Chencang in secret. While Yue'er was playing tricks in the open, he had already brought Xuanyuan Yixi to the mountain gate of Biancaitian.
The candidates this time were selected after careful consideration.
The Seven Gods of Good Luck are the enemies that need to be guarded against most during a trip to Momoyama Country, but Momoyama Country not only has the Seven Gods of Good Luck, but also has official supernatural powers.
After the awakening of spiritual energy, various countries unanimously established their own secret supernatural organizations.
In the past history, they did not have a patron saint like Xuanyuan Yixi, so they urgently needed an official organization.
Cui Maozhu once met with the official organization of Taoshan Kingdom at the secret meeting of the Four Continents Alliance. Their strength was not too strong, but they still had third-level talents and some magical weapons passed down from their elders.
On Blue Star, Momoyama's overall ability to handle extraordinary powers ranks among the top ten.
At this stage, the gods and demons still dare not appear openly in front of the world. This is because there is a subtle dark forest effect between the gods and demons. No one dares to let the other party find their own loopholes easily, otherwise they will easily be plotted and kill the gods.
Grab the treasure.
Most of the gods and demons are secretly accumulating strength, and their goals are Dongsheng Shenzhou, which has the most abundant spiritual energy and the most caves and heavens.
Before coming, Cui Maozhu notified the official organization of Taoshan Kingdom through old connections, saying that someone from Daqin would go there to perform tasks, but they would not disrupt the local order.
Of course, she only mentioned the bright line between Yue'er and Yijin, but did not mention the existence of Lu Li and Qingshui Liuli who had sneaked in secretly.
Therefore, with a fourth-grade Lu Li, a near-fourth-grade Qingshui Liuli, a first-grade gold, and a third-grade Yue'er, this configuration should not be a problem for self-protection in Taoshan Country.
Once Benzaiten cannot be found, he will come back immediately and will not linger.
Before setting off, I had considered sending a few more monks and fish girls, but this would make it easier to attract the attention of the Seven Gods of Luck.
Yijin heard about Lan Hua's deeds and wanted to use this trip as a vote, so he guaranteed to protect Yue'er.
But before it came, there was still a new problem. Bai Wujiu's work had reached an important stage and he needed to constantly transport things to Peach Blossom Village. He had no choice but to leave the door of Peach Blossom Village in a suite on the top floor of the hotel.
In the bedroom.
If someone wants to open the door, they should knock first, and Asta will open the door from inside. This will make it easier to come in and out.
Cui Maozhu, Wei Changlong, Cui Maoyang, and Rong Xiaohui took turns to be on duty, and knocking on the door must be done by one of them personally.
A group of Xuanyuan troops were constantly protecting the outside, so Lu Li could safely leave the door open.
Although Bai Wujiu's affairs were important, he was more concerned about Xuanyuan Yixi in his sect. He repeatedly confirmed that the meditating Xuanyuan Yixi was in normal condition before leaving Daqin and coming to Taoshan Country.
In Momoyama Country, there are no less than 10,000 shrines dedicated to Benzaiten, but Benzaiten does not live in any of them, but on an uninhabited mountain surrounded by formations.
This mountain is located on the outskirts of Kyoto City, Momoyama Province, and is not in the same area as Tokyo where Yueer and the others went.
The mountain is not high, but it is shrouded in clouds and mist. Torii gates are scattered on the stone steps, and no tourists can be seen along the way.
Qingshui Liuli introduced: "Before she lived in seclusion, my master was in charge of many priestly duties. Water flow, time, language, debate, music, wisdom, literature, marriage, begging for children, farming, and harvest were all under her control successively. These twelve realms were all controlled by her.
Torii, each torii symbolizes part of her function."
The torii gate looks a bit like an ancient archway in Shenzhou, shaped like the character "kai" and painted with red paint.
But in the mythology of Momoyama Kingdom, it has a unique meaning. It symbolizes the entrance to the divine realm and is used to distinguish the residences of gods and humans. In mythology, entering the torii means entering the divine realm.
The two of them walked up the mountain. Qingshui Liuli stopped in front of the first torii gate, put his hands together and bowed.
Lu Li pressed the Nine Cauldron Sword and stepped directly in without following.
After passing the torii gate, there was no special feeling, nor did I feel that I had entered some divine realm.
Qingshui Liuli did not force him and led the way. Lu Li admired the surrounding scenery. Along the way, there were green grass and green mountains. Just like in the painting, Ben Caitian lived in seclusion here, which was quite stylish.
There were also some wooden frames along the way, with painted horses written with wishes hanging on them. Lu Li observed that the latest date on the painted horses was several decades ago.
This time, Qingshui Liuli changed into a witch's costume and walked on the long mountain road, as if she was part of the scenery.
Qingshui Liuli was lost in memories while walking. She said: "I was adopted by my master since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, I would pass this road up the mountain every day. I knew every small tree here. Unfortunately, I started to stay in the hotel after middle school.
Rarely come."
Lu Li nodded: "What about the university? Is it close?"
Qingshui Liuli looked at him in confusion: "Jiannu-kun, I haven't graduated from high school yet!"
Lu Li was surprised: "Active jk? I didn't find it!"
He always thought that Qingshui Liuli was at least a college student. After all, Qingshui Liuli...
I didn't expect it to be so small.
When Qingshui Liuli heard Lu Li talking about jk, she didn't know what she thought of. Suddenly her face turned red, but when she realized where this place was, she took a deep breath and calmed down.
As they talked like this, the two of them had reached the halfway point of the mountain, but Lu Li still didn't feel the presence of any formation.
He counted and found that he had passed the eleventh torii gate. Before each torii gate, Qingshui Liuli had to salute. Because his lower abdomen was bulging, it was difficult to salute and his waist hurt a little.
She hammered her waist with her small fist and looked in front of her. There was only one left.
Lu Li opened the live broadcast on his mobile phone and took another look. The signal here was already very weak. It took him a long time to see that Yue'er was singing the third song. The audience was immersed in "Red umbrella, white umbrella, and let's lie down together after eating."
It's so exciting to the rhythm.
Qingshui Liuli came over, with dissatisfaction written all over her face: "Yue'er is really crazy! Sister Toyoko didn't even stop her!"
"Don't you always think you're just a third-tier idol? These days, you can't get ratings with serious performances, so you have to do something outrageous like this to make it work!"
Lu Li consoled him.
Qingshui Liuli thought for a while, and she didn't know what unusual thing had occurred to her. Her face turned even redder, and she pinched her hot earlobes with her two small hands.
After passing the last torii gate, a dilapidated shrine appeared in front of them.
Blue tiles cover the three wooden houses, and there is still snow on the tiles.
The shrine in the middle only has a door opening but no door. This is the worship hall. Behind the worship hall is the main hall, which is the residence of the gods. However, because it is different from the cultural traditions of Shenzhou, even in the main hall, statues of gods are generally not enshrined.
.
The wing rooms on both sides are where witches live. One of them is Qingmizu Ruri's residence. The windows are covered with window frames and no one has lived in them for a long time.
The other room belongs to Benzaiten and looks very neat from the window.
There is a bell hanging on the lintel of the worship hall, and a bunch of thick ropes hang from the bell. The ropes of several colors are twisted together and hang down to the ground.
This section of the road from the torii gate to the shrine gate is called the shrine. Next to the shrine is a small pavilion half a person's height. There is a stone water dish underneath. I don't know where the water comes from. There is a constant stream of clear water in the dish.
gush out.
That is a hand water house, used to cleanse the hands of people visiting the shrine.
Qingshui Liuli slowly walked up the shrine in small steps and came to the small pavilion. She picked up a large wooden spoon next to the water dish with her left hand, scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it into her right hand.
Because it was too cold, I let out a hiss in my mouth, then changed my hands and washed my left hand as well.
When the water was poured out and both hands were washed, Qingshui Liuli turned around and smiled, showing two tiger teeth, and said: "Jiannujun, you come too."
Lu Li walked up and Qingshui Liuli took another spoonful of water and washed it for Lu Li.
This was natural spring water. Lu Li couldn't help but drink some and put it on his face. He immediately felt refreshed.
He knew that Qingshui Liuli would not let him wash his hands for no reason, so he asked: "What's next? How can I see your master?"
"Come!"
Qingshui Liuli stood up the wooden spoon, washed the handle with the water flowing along the spoon, and then put the spoon back to its original place.
She walked back to the shrine in small steps, walked slowly to the hanging thick rope, took out a five-yuan coin, threw it into the cash box, then stretched out her hand to shake the thick rope, and the bell on it made a crisp sound.
She leaned down, bowed twice, clapped her hands twice, and then clasped her hands together, completing "two salutes, two claps, and one salute". She made a wish in a very low voice: "May Master transcend cause and effect as soon as possible, and may I finish digesting jade as soon as possible."
Wine, I hope that Senior Jianxian and Jiannujun will get married soon and have a son."
Lu Li's ears were amazing. He listened to her wish until the end, and the corners of his mouth curled up, thinking that this coolie was quite good. Even he himself had not considered asking the Sword Immortal's wife to have five children, let alone what to do if she did.
What should the names of ten children be?
After Qingshui Liuli made her wish, nothing happened. She handed a five-yuan coin to Lu Li, indicating Lu Li to make a wish, and put a finger to her lips to prevent Lu Li from asking.
Lu Li took the coin, threw it into the cash box in a decent manner, and then shook the bell.
He did not bow to worship. He was from Dongsheng Shenzhou, so naturally he would not worship foreign gods.
He just clapped his hands twice, and then made a wish in a low voice: "May the wife of Sword Immortal put down her heavy burden soon, and may Shenzhou..."
However, before he finished speaking, suddenly, the bell on the door lintel rang by itself.
"Dingle bell!"
The clouds in the sky began to change color. The sky was clear just now, but now it is covered with dark clouds, and the "whooshing" sound of the wind can be heard throughout the mountains.
Lu Li looked back and saw that the red paint on the torii gate closest to them was peeling off quickly, and the wooden door seemed to have experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, and had rotted into a pile of rotten wood.
Qingshui Ruri ran a few steps toward the torii gate in shock. From this direction, she could see that the entire mountain path and the twelve torii gates collapsed one after another, turning them into rotten wood.
"The entrance to God's Domain is broken..."
She was shocked and walked towards the shrine, shouting: "Master, Master!"
According to the past, as long as the wish is fulfilled, the formation can be broken and the master can be seen. But now, before Lu Li has finished his wish, something like this happened at the shrine.
However, before Qing Shui Liuli could rush to Lu Li, her figure collapsed like those torii gates and dissipated from back to front. Qing Shui Liuli stretched out her hand and handed it to Lu Li.
"Little unfortunate guy!"
Lu Li yelled and rushed to pick her up, but did not hold Qing Shui Liuli's hand. Qing Shui Liuli had disappeared.
Lu Li directly took off the Jiuding Sword and turned around to attack the shrine, but at this time, he found that the shrine behind him was also missing.
He only saw endless golden wheat fields.
Lu Li's mind was spinning. Each torii gate symbolized one of Benzaiten's divine functions.
Does this golden wheat field symbolize farming? Could it be that this is the divine kingdom of Benzaiten?
However, a burst of laughter interrupted his train of thought.
An old man with a bulging forehead and a happy face appeared from the wheat field on crutches.
Lu Li had read this man's myth.
Fu Lu Shou, the god of good fortune and wealth in the myth of Taoshan Kingdom!
