Chapter Forty-Six: Ascending Mountain, Qingyang
I have to say that the speed of the Aoki boat is very fast, and it didn't take long for Di Jun to see the rising mountain, and when he looked at the past, there was no vegetation in the whole mountain, all of them were dense buildings, and there was this river flowing slowly under the mountain.
Before they could get closer, a group of guards in golden armor stepped forward to stop Di Jun and them, only the middle one was dressed in normal clothes, but his body exuded the aura of a saint.
"May I ask you are guests from the Higashiyama Sutra?"
"Yes, I'll wait. ”
"That's great, I'm the leader of the guards of the mountain, the Holy King of Qinglin has been waiting for a long time, I bother you to get off the boat, it is forbidden to fly within a radius of ten miles around the mountain, I can only ask you to follow me down the mountain and go up the mountain. ”
The man in the group of guards who exuded the aura of a saint bowed and said with a smile.
"I see, there are Lao Daoyou leading the way. "Lieyun returned the salute.
Di Jun and his party also got off the floating boat and walked towards the rising mountain on the ground. Not far ahead, Di Jun and they saw a huge town, built around the mountain, which is much more spectacular than the Boqi Mountain, although there is also a town at the foot of the Boqi Mountain, but the area is far inferior to the town in front of them.
What's more, there are so many small tribes around Boqi Mountain, which has a kind of chaotic feeling, and the town at the foot of the mountain is extremely orderly and looks very neat. It is worthy of being the main mountain of the human race in the Zhongshan Sutra.
"This town is called Ji Town, and it was expanded from the tribe where His Majesty the Emperor was originally located, all of which were built around the mountain, and now the population is nearly one million, and it is almost overcrowded, even so, every year there are many other mountain people in Zhongshan Jing who want to move over. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor also had to order that anyone who wanted to move over must go through the approval of the mountain, which curbed the rapid growth of the population of the mountain. ”
Looking at Lie Yun's slightly moved faces, this leader of the guards was also extremely proud to introduce it, and it was normal, people would inevitably have some vanity after all.
"It is worthy of the Zhongshan Jing Human Race. ”
Lieyu had to let out a sigh of emotion again, and he also slightly satisfied the next sage.
"Let's go, come with me. ”
Sure enough, the sage was also very happy with the praise of the blazing clouds, and immediately led everyone to speed up their pace and head towards the ascending mountain.
Walking on the road of the town, Di Jun was a little confused, there were too many people, and the road was a few feet wide, full of people, shoulder to shoulder. From time to time, guards in armor walked by. I don't know if it's Di Jun, even Ju Mang and Luo Shen, the two proud sons of heaven who were born on the main mountain of the Dongshan Sutra, are also a little stunned, there are really too many people, and it seems that most of them exude the breath of vitality, although they are not strong, but they are also much stronger than the Dongshan Sutra.
At the feet of Emperor Jun, the road several zhang wide led straight to the foot of the mountain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get on the bus."
The Sage Leader pointed to a strange wooden building beside Di Jun and them, with these two wheels underneath it, and a fierce beast horse exuding the aura of Yuanji in front of it. The horse's mouth was confined by some unknown metal, and there was a special rope that connected the building to the horse.
None of them had ever seen anything like this, and they were all very curious.
The commander was not surprised, and immediately pulled the curtain in front of the car, revealing the space inside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, go up, this is our means of transportation. ”
Hearing the man's words, Lieyun jumped into the carriage first and got into the car, Luo Cheng also followed Lieyun up, and the three of Dijun also got into the car when they saw this. When the commander saw that everyone had gotten into the car, he was the last to get up. After everyone had gone up, and no one was driving, the beast horse automatically led everyone slowly.
When he arrived in the car, Di Jun found that the car was extremely comfortable, with several soft sleepers on which to sit, and more than a blanket made of animal fur under his feet, which was very comfortable to step on.
"Fellow Daoist, what is this?"
Inside the car, Lieyun looked at everything around him and opened his mouth curiously.
"This is a tool invented by His Majesty the Emperor of China for transportation, which was quite simple at the earliest, and it became like this after being improved by the Holy King Xi Zhong who ascended to the mountain. Flights are forbidden around the mountain, so we use this to greet our guests. His Majesty the Emperor named it Che, and after the improvement of King Xi Zhongsheng, he tamed the fierce beast of the horse as the driving force for pulling the cart, and it is now called the carriage. ”
"I see, His Majesty the Human Emperor, Xi Zhong Saint King. ”
Another sigh of emotion sounded, and Di Jun was even more curious about this legendary human emperor.
The shouting outside the car was endless, a big bazaar, Luo Shen lifted the curtain behind her and looked at the crowd outside, the sun shone on her face, and Di Jun and Ju Mang were stunned for a while.
Inside, the three big guys looked at these small ones, all of them were smiling at the corners of their mouths, especially Lieyun's appearance when he looked at Di Jun, and his heart suddenly became lively.
After a long time, the carriage slowly stopped. The commander jumped down first, and everyone jumped down with him, and when he got out of the carriage, Di Jun found that he had come to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the towering mountain, Di Jun roughly estimated that this mountain might be 20,000 zhang high.
At the top of the mountain, a golden palace shines brightly in the sun.
"That's the palace where the human emperor lives, and the Qinglin Holy King also lives in it, let's go, the holy king is still waiting for us." ”
The commander said with a smile, and immediately showed the way for Emperor Jun and them.
After walking for a long time, they came to this golden palace, and it was a loss that they were not ordinary people, otherwise they would have to die of exhaustion from the 20,000-foot high mountain.
"Huh, it's finally here, and I can only take you here, guys, and the guards will take you in next. ”
In front of the gate of the palace, the commander looked at the gate of the palace and said with a smile, and several gold-armored guards next to him had already stepped forward and came to the front of Lieyun and them, and saluted respectfully.
"There are Lao Daoyou. ”
Lieyun thanked the Commander, smiled, and then turned to leave.
"Please come with me. ”
The Golden Armor Guard spoke respectfully, and then took the lead towards the palace.
Lieyun and the others also followed, and as soon as they entered the gate, Di Jun and the others were once again amazed by the decoration inside, all kinds of rare treasures were randomly decorated on the walls of the two times, and even the vegetation next to the road also had some fragrant strange fruits.
Di Jun and the others were dazzled, just like the feeling of rural people who have just arrived in a big city.
After following the guards, Di Jun and the others came to a temple, good guy, this temple is much bigger than the temple of his ancestor of Boqi Mountain.
"On the order of the Holy King, Dongshan was brought by the guests. ”
The guard stood at the door of the temple and bowed and spoke.
"Okay, you go down. ”
"Yes. ”
A deep male voice came from the hall, and the guard bowed down again when he heard it, and then bowed to the Lieyun and them again, and went down.
"Come in. ”
There was a sound from inside again, and when they heard it, they raised their legs and walked into the main hall. As soon as he entered, Di Jun saw a majestic figure above the high hall, dressed in black clothes, but embroidered with golden snake-like creatures, but with four legs, a middle-aged man's face that was not angry and arrogant, with clear contours, and looked extremely resolute.
"Dongshan passes through Boqi Mountain Lieyun, Gu'er Mountain Luo Ming, and has seen the Qingyang Holy King. ”
"Dongshan has seen the Holy King of Qingyang through the younger generations of Emperor Jun, Jumang, and Luoshen. ”
"Get up, sit, and serve tea. ”
The Qingyang Holy King pointed to the chairs on both sides, and said to the Lieyun and them, and a few handmaidens also walked in outside the door, and put a few bronze cups on the table next to Di Jun and them, which were brewed with tea, exuding a burst of fragrance, and after pouring the tea, the handmaidens turned around and went out again.
"Thank you. ”
They bowed down again and thanked them, then sat down on either side.
"Logu, is she okay?"
Looking at the token of the Luo Gu clan in his hand, the eyes of the Qingyang Holy King changed, and he seemed to remember something, and his eyes were full of affection.
"Back to the Holy King, the ancestor is very good, this is the handwritten letter given to you by the ancestor. ”
Luo Cheng replied respectfully, flipped her hand, took out a silk handbook from the mustard seed in her hand, and handed it over. The Qingyang Holy King took the handwritten letter, opened it, and read the handwritten letter carefully.
"Actually, I have been paying attention to the situation of the Dongshan Sutra, and I have long known the news of your war with the Jinwu clan, but I can't help you, now that you are here, I can only take you to see His Majesty the Emperor, all the power of the Zhongshan Sutra is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, only when he orders, we can send troops, which is why I have not been able to help you. ”
After reading the handbook, the Qingyang Saint King raised his head and looked at Lie Yun and them, and slowly spoke.
"We are already very grateful that the Holy King can do this for us, and we don't dare to ask for too much, and now we can only ask the Holy King to say a few words for us in front of His Majesty the Human Emperor. ”
Lie Yun stood up and respectfully bowed to the Qingyang Saint King.
"This is natural, it's a pity that Canglin is in retreat, otherwise it would be better for the two of us to speak together. It's getting late now, so stay here first, and I'll take you to see His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow." It's not good to go now. ”
With a light move of his hand, the Qingyang Saint King helped Lie Yun's bent waist up.
"Come on, take a few guests down to rest. ”
Several handmaidens outside the door also walked in again and came to Lieyun's side.
"If you need anything, you can tell them directly, and they will let you know tomorrow when the time is right. ”
The Qingyang Holy King looked at the way the sky outside was gradually darkening, and he also decided to let Lieyun and the others go to rest first, recuperate enough, and go to see the human emperor tomorrow.
"King Xie, I'll retire. ”
The five of them saluted again, and then followed the maidservants towards the outside of the hall.
I have to say that this Qingyang really takes care of Lieyun and them, not only arranging an extremely comfortable wing room for Di Jun and them, but also specially arranging a maid to take care of them. Dijun: Whatever they want, someone will send it immediately.
"Speaking of which, we've been out of Mount Bozzi for five days, and we don't know what the situation is there. ”
Outside the wing, Lieyun and Dijun were sitting at a table, Lieyun took out his collection of wine from Boqi Mountain, and drank it slowly with Dijun, and there were some meat and fruits on the table, all of which were sent by those maidservants.
"I don't think there should be any problems, after all, the ancestors are still there, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers there, so there should be no problem in holding on. Master, you don't have to worry too much, as long as we bring back reinforcements, everything will be solved. ”
Next to him, Di Jun also persuaded.
"Well, you're right, tomorrow you must ask the Emperor of the People to send troops. ”
Lieyun picked up the wine jar and took two sips, the worry between his eyebrows slightly lessened.
"Master, how do I feel that this Qingyang Saint King seems to be a little interesting to our Luogu Clan Ancestor. ”
After drinking it once, Di Jun seemed to remember something, and leaned into Lieyun's ear and whispered.
A spirit, Lie Yun quickly covered Di Jun's mouth, looked around, and said softly:
"Don't say that, that's not what we're supposed to say, understand?"
"Got it, Master. ”
Warned by Lieyun's words, Di Jun also understood, this is not Boqi Mountain, and some words are better not to talk nonsense.
"By the way, Master, it's been so long, shouldn't you find me a master?"
As soon as the topic changed, Di Jun remembered that it seemed that his cheap master had not yet married a wife?
A violent shudder sounded, and Di Jun covered his head in pain.
"I dare to joke as a teacher, it's really three days without a house to open the tiles. Well, it feels good, knock it twice. ”
Lieyun looked at Di Jun, holding the wine jar in one hand, and raising the other hand to make a gesture of wanting to fight.
"Don't don't, Master, I was wrong, I don't dare, I don't dare. ”
Di Jun hurriedly waved his hand and begged for mercy.
"Haha"
Looking at Di Jun's appearance, Lie Yun also laughed heartily.
