Chapter I: Petitioning
The most beautiful season of Cuiping Mountain is the twilight of spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the mountain flowers are swaggering, and the stream in the mountain stream keeps tinkling and singing day and night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSquirrels are jumping in the woods, rabbits are jumping in the grass, a flock of pheasants are fluttering their wings to catch up with the low-flying birds, and a girl in yellow is full of joy and runs towards the top of the mountain.
There is a grand building on the top of the mountain, the Xiangyun square that is piled up with white marble is ongoing, the twelve Rui beast pillars are towering into the clouds all around, there is a lotus avenue paved with gold bricks in the middle leading to the main hall, the gate of the main hall is more than 30 meters high, nailed with seventy-seven forty-nine bright brass nails, each of which is as big as a bull's head. The girl in yellow ran through the main hall like a gust of wind, and ran to the back, behind the hall was a cluster of buildings, built according to the mountain, one after another, and the roof was paved with luxurious glazed tiles, shining in the sunlight. All the lattices are carved from a single piece of golden silk wood, and each texture is as smooth as a fairy. It's a pity that such a good place is dusty, cobwebs, and empty, and there is no one left, obviously abandoned for a long time.
The girl rushed to the library at the back in one breath, she was so tired and out of breath that she couldn't even straighten her waist, she put her hands on her knees and shouted while panting, "Sangsang, are you still reading? Come down, go to my house for dinner, my house will eat well today!"
The library of Cuiping Mountain can be ranked among the top three in the Qing cultivation world, and above the tenth floor are all rare books and rare books. Hearing the shouts of the girl in yellow, a head with a double round bun poked out from the third floor, and a silver bell hung on the bun, which jingled and rang non-stop, looking very cute and cute. She smiled and replied, "Come on, come on!" Pushing open the window and jumping down, the white skirt spread out like a cloud, and gently and skillfully floated down, landing in front of the girl in yellow.
The girl in yellow looked at her with a smug look on her face, and said unconvinced, "What's the big deal, back then, the Qing cultivators of Cuiping Mountain could jump up and down like this in half a year, and you have been practicing for sixteen years since you beat your mother's womb, and you are only capable of this." ā
The girl in white called Sang Ke and looked at her with a smile, "At this time and that time, now that there is no vitality in heaven and earth, it can be regarded as talent and hard work to be able to practice to my level, Huo Luoluo, aren't you jealous?"
"I'm jealous?" the girl in yellow, Huo Luoluo, was not convinced, and opened her mouth to spit out a small flame, but only half of the azalea was scorched, and then she herself was a little embarrassed, "That's it, I'm not the weakest." By the way, I haven't seen Uncle Sang and Aunt Sang for a few days, have they gone to petition again?"
"What if you don't petition? This is a problem left over from history. Sang Ke picked a grass stalk and put it in his mouth, "Heaven and earth suddenly have no vitality, and they can't cultivate, so that the Qing cultivation sect can't hold on, I heard that we have three thousand disciples in the heyday of Cuiping Mountain, it's not that it will be scattered." Now that we are all worshiped in the spirit birds of Zhenshan, my father and mother are very skilled, and they can live for one hundred and eighty years by relying on the natural circulation of Neidan in the body, what should I do, I was born in human form, I have to eat and wear clothes, everything costs money, and I don't have the ability to make money, you see that the skirt on my body was still made the year before last, and now it is as short as the knee. ā
Speaking of this, it was time for Huo Luo Luo to be proud, she smiled and said, "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, show you a good thing!" As she spoke, she untied a purse from her waist and threw it into Sang Ke's arms.
"Such a big silver ingot! Where did you get it?"
"Singing, there are many teahouses and restaurants in the city under the mountain, the guests love to watch the show, where can the singing of the human race compare to our birds, a mouth will stop them, how about it, Sangsang, you sing better than anyone else, do you want me to take you down to earn some money?"
Sang Ke weighed the silver ingot in his hand, sighed and threw it back into Huo Luoluo's arms, "Forget it, my father and mother want to know that I go out to sing, and they have to beat me to death." ā
"That's right, you Heavenly Spirit Bird is an ancient god clan, and you are as famous as the phoenix in the Hundred Bird List, and your identity is so noble, how can you be embarrassed to go out to work with us sparrows. ā
"I'm embarrassed, it's just that my father and mother can't put it down, forget it, don't talk about this, do you have any good food at home? Let's go, I only ate two fruits at noon, and I've been hungry for a long time." ā
"Yes, how could I have come to call you without me, and I left. ā
The two girls laughed, you chased me and ran out of the main hall, and when I ran to the welcome square, Sang Ke couldn't help but stop in front of the ban tablet, this is a square black stone tablet, it is rumored that it fell directly from the sky eighteen years ago, a full hundred and eight pieces, suppressing the famous mountains and rivers full of vitality everywhere in the world, and the front is engraved with golden characters "The ninth ban of the fairy world: in order to encircle and suppress the remnants of the demon world, since the third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the circulation of vitality between heaven and earth has been suspended, and the Qing cultivation sects have been disbanded immediately, and animals and plants must not become essences!" There is also a note on the back: "Cultivators can maintain their original spiritual power, and the children born of animals and plants that have become refined can choose to live in human form or original form, and once they choose, they cannot be changed!"
She stroked her finger over the order tablet, "Suspended, it's been eighteen years, and it's still suspended, I really don't know when the ban will be lifted." ā
Huo Luo Luo didn't care, "I think this is not bad, back then, our parents chose to live in human form for us, so we can be people with peace of mind, anyway, I have never been a bird." ā
Sang Ke smiled, "I've never been a bird, let's go, let's go, eating is the big thing." ā
The sparrow family of Huo Luoluo has a large population, as soon as the meal is opened, the table has to be set three times, the chirping is not lively, and all of them are very enthusiastic, straight to the Sangke bowl to pick vegetables, Sangke eats with a round belly, back to his home, saw the lights from a distance, jumped three times with joy, and shouted before entering the door, "Daddy, Auntie, you are back!"
Sang Rui picked up his daughter and turned around, "I'm back, I've been out for so long this time, my Sang Sang hasn't been hungry, right?"
Sang Ke patted his stomach, "I was still eating at Huo Luoluo's house just now, and they went to Qifang City to sing during this time and earned a lot of money." ā
Sang Rui stroked his long beard and laughed loudly: "Singing, the Sparrow family is such a small family." Sangsang, this time my father and mother united many divine beasts and spirit birds to petition, and finally met the human emperor, and finally solved the problem of you little guys. ā
"Have you seen the human emperor?" Sang Ke was curious, "Is he very powerful?"
"He, the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Venerable are tied to the Three Realms, of course they are powerful. However, it is also polite to us ancient divine beasts and spirit bird families. This time, it is decided, those of you who were born three years after the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, who exist in human form, will be given a one-time solution to the problem of survival. ā
"Is it a big sum of money to solve the problem of survival?"
Sang Rui slapped her on the back of the head, "Short see!
Sang Ke's mother, Sang Xuan, kept smiling at the father and daughter, and only then did she speak, "It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach a man to fish, you, you can't remember how many times you say it." ā
Sang Rui was very unconvinced, "Can you blame me, there are always so many twists and turns in the human race's speech, but I just can't understand it." ā
Sang Ke smiled and said, "I understand, Daddy doesn't like to use his brains the most, doesn't it mean that instead of giving me a sum of money, it's better to teach me the ability to make money, Auntie, am I right?"
Sang Xuan clapped his hands and said, "That's right, did you also see it from a book?"
"Yes, there are all kinds of books in the library pavilion, and we can't finish reading them, does the emperor want us to go to the academy to learn skills?"
Sang Rui patted his daughter's little head, "It's so smart! Listen to me from the beginning, we have been petitioning for the past few years, and the emperor is also concerned about this matter, and specially sent someone to count the children of the gods, beasts, birds, and flowers and trees in the world, and there are more than 1,600 people born three years after the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, living in human form. ā
"So much?"
"That is, you look at the low-level family of the Sparrow, there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters of Huo Luoluo, which is like our Tianling clan, I have been with your mother for more than a hundred years, and there is only one of you. ā
"Well, we are noble but noble, but we have too few relatives and feel a little lonely. ā
"I won't be lonely soon, the emperor of the people thinks about it, there is no vitality between heaven and earth, you can't go back to your original form, you have to be obedient to be a human being, then you have to survive in the way of the human race, what should people do at your age, you should study, you can only make a living by reading and learning skills, so I plan to send you all to the academy, the academy is full of young people, you will definitely not be lonely. ā
Sang Ke was very happy, "Okay, I want to go to school, then I have to study hard and strive to get into a good college, but Daddy, a good college has a lot of constraints, do we have money?"
Sang Rui laughed, "Silly, you are the only descendant of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, how can you generalize with mortals and show you this!"
"What?" Sang Ke took a white jade plaque from Daddy's hand, and the front was carved with a lifelike double-petaled Qiong flower, her hand shook, and quickly turned to the back, and on the back were four ancient seal characters "Qionglin Academy", and she was dumbfounded, "Qionghua Pei!"
Sang Ke exclaimed, "Qiong Hua Pei! Qionglin Academy in the capital? This is the top academy in the human world, how many human races can't get into it even if they sharpen their heads, so they admit me?"
Sang Rui was very proud, "I admit you, the tuition and room and board fees are all free, and I have to send a piece of silver every month, the emperor said that in it, write articles, practice martial arts, sing and dance, write poems and paintings, heal and tell fortunes, cut clothes, farm and do business, there are any courses, you study the same, and you will not worry about making a living after you come out." Sangsang, there are more than 1,600 of you, although all of you have to study, but only eleven of them can enter Qionglin, and it's not because!"
"It's not because of the noble bloodline of our Heavenly Spirit Clan, Daddy and Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely learn my skills well, and earn a lot of silver after I come out, so that you can also enjoy the wealth and prosperity of the world. ā
Sang Rui sighed with emotion, "Your mother and I are not interested in the wealth of the world, if it weren't for the repeated invitations of the Lingbao Master of Cuiping Mountain, we wouldn't have come here to be any Zhenshan Spirit Birds." The sect has always enshrined us very well, and the mountain is also full of Yuan Li for cultivation, so we have stayed for a long time. Who knew that a ban suddenly came down in the fairy world, the sect struggled for two years or disbanded, and the vitality was gone, we were going to leave, but your mother found out that she was pregnant with you, and it was very difficult for our Tianling clan to reproduce, so we had to be careful, so we continued to stay. Now that you have finally landed, we can rest assured, Ah Xuan, after our daughter leaves, let's continue to travel around, okay?"
Sang Xuan's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and said with a slight smile: "That's natural, since we became married, you said that you would take me to the underworld for nine days and read all the mountains and rivers in the human world, this has been said for more than a hundred years, I remember it." ā
Sang Rui waved his big hand, "I also remember, as soon as my daughter leaves, we will go on the road." ā
"Your temper is getting more and more anxious, but fortunately, your daughter is not like you. "Sang Xuan hugged Sang Ke" Sang Sang, you have grown up, your wings are hard, you should have your own life, you have been smart and clever since you were a child, well-read, and this time you went to study in the top college in the human world, and my mother has nothing to worry about, but there are three things that you have to keep in mind. ā
Sang Ke responded obediently, and his eyes opened wide, looking at his mother like black grapes.
"First, you grew up on Cuiping Mountain, although you have many friends, they are all children of mountain spirits and tree monsters, simple and simple, and have no scheming. But when I go to the human world to study, I can know that people's hearts are complicated, deeper than this valley and green abyss, Sangsang, treating people and everything is more valuable than sincerity, but before paying sincerity, we must see clearly whether the other party is a person with a pure heart and worthy of dealing with him. ā
Sang Rui nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, immortals and demons, human strength is the weakest, but the mind is the heaviest, Sang Sang, you must keep your eyes open." ā
"Well, don't worry, Daddy, you need to be cautious when making friends, I remember. ā
Sang Xuan said again, "Second, since ancient times, the Heavenly Spirit Clan has a noble status, transcendent of the Three Realms, and is not bound by rules, and your father and I have never restrained you, so you have developed your bold temperament, and you naturally live happily in the mountains and wilderness." But the human world has the rules of the human world, and since you are an adult, you must obey them, and you must not arbitrarily transgress them. ā
Sang Rui pouted, "There are too many rules in the human world, and there are some very pedantic concepts of good and evil, I don't like them." ā
Sang Xuan glared at him, "Who asked you if you liked it or not, and it wasn't you who was the person." ā
Sang Xuan is recognized as a gentle woman, and she has always looked like she respects her husband outside, but at home, Sang Rui has never dared to refute her words, just shrugged her shoulders, and Sang Ke shrank into Sang Xuan's arms, "Mother, if there are too many rules, I don't like it either." ā
"Silly boy, there are no rules, there is no circle, if people are like scattered sand, how can they create such wealth and prosperity. You see that since the ban was announced in the third year of Kaiyuan, almost all the gods, beasts, spirits, birds, flowers and wood spirits have chosen human form for their children, which shows that being a human being is a very good thing. ā
Sang Rui muttered, "The White Tiger family didn't choose a human form. ā
Sang Ke smiled and said, "Okay, Daddy, don't you just follow the rules, it's not a big deal, I like to be a person, and there are so many interesting things written in the book, all of which can only be done by being a person." ā
Sang Xuan smiled and glanced at Sang Rui, "Okay, let's talk about the third thing." ā
Sang Rui said excitedly, "Sang Sang, you listen well, my father said that this matter is the most important thing, I think that the immortal and demon war lasted for hundreds of years, and it was endless, and then the fairy world persuaded the human world to form an alliance, and finally won a big victory in the third year of Kaiyuan, and the demons were killed and injured." In order to eliminate the remnants of the demon world and not give them a chance to recover, the fairy world brazenly announced the ninth ban, prohibiting the circulation of vitality between heaven and earth, and closing the relationship between heaven and earth tightly, without leakage at all. But at that time, we were all thinking, the circulation of the Yuan Qi is the force of nature, how can it be imposed, the three realms of immortals, men and demons are the way of balance, how can it be forcibly eradicated?"
Sang Xuan sighed, "It's just a matter of talking about these things, between gods and beasts, spirit birds, although the people of the demon world also have heroes, but most of them have violent personalities and like to kill, so they are regarded as mortal enemies by the fairy world and the human world, Sang Sang, don't talk nonsense in the academy." ā
Sang Ke nodded obediently, and Sang Rui patted his thigh, "Okay, don't talk about the past, say now, it's been eighteen years since the ban was promulgated, the demon world has almost disappeared, and probably the control of the fairy world is gradually relaxed, this time I walked with your mother all the way, and found that there are many places where there is a leak of vitality, if you encounter it, don't just be greedy to play the game, you must step up your absorption and cultivation, and turn the vitality into your own spiritual power." ā
Sang Xuan also said with a straight face, "Remember, the cycle of heaven and earth is irresistible, even if it is an immortal, closing the world is only an expedient measure after all, the vitality will always circulate, once it circulates, the pattern of the world is the same, Sang Sang, whether it is a person or a bird, the more spiritual power the better, with strength can you gain a foothold, you can do what you want to do, and you can protect the people you want to protect, understand?"
Sang Ke nodded heavily, "I understand, don't worry, I have read the books in the Library Pavilion, and I remember a lot of cultivation methods and formulas, as long as I have vitality, I will suck it!" She made a very exaggerated gesture, and suddenly made Sang Rui and his wife laugh.
Sang Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, your little head is smart, as long as you remember these three points, my mother believes that you will live happily in the human world." ā
Sang Rui also said, "I'm really unhappy, I'll turn you back into a bird, and our family will continue to be birds, I don't believe that the fairy world will really take care of us." ā
Sang Ke looked at his father on the left and his mother on the right, he was fifteen years old and had never left them, he was really reluctant, but he longed for the lively human world described in the book, his little head was dangling, and his eyes were very innocent and cute. Sang Rui couldn't stand it, and was about to say that our daughter should not go to school, Sang Xuan pushed him away, "Okay, it's late, it's almost sleep, I have to pack my luggage for Sang Sang these days, I have something to do." ā
