Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 16 The Demon Emperor
Before he could think about it, he heard the hoarse magnetic voice laugh again: "Little goblin, when did Lao Tzu lie to you?" I said that as long as you bury the broken sword at the bottom of that thousand-year-old locust tree, you will not only be able to save your sister, but also ascend to the fairy realm from now on. Hehe, if you hadn't sent this token, how would the people of the world know that I was sealed by Ge Laodao in the Nine Old Caves of Emei Mountain? How could they gather here to save the widows? When the widow comes out of this gourd and accepts your sister as an apprentice, if you want to ascend to immortality, it is not easy? ”
Xiaoqing was angry and embarrassed, and when she met Ge Changgeng's gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she shouted, "Niu Nose, you can't blame me for this!" Who told you not to kill this demon back then, but secretly sealed him in the Nine Old Caves? The kindness of women is what has caused today's disaster! ”
"You are right, everything in the world has a cause and effect. At the end of the day, it all started with me. Ge Changgeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If I had annihilated the primordial spirit of this demon at the beginning, or had not let Li Shaowei go, I would not have affected Xu Gongzi today, let alone this catastrophe." ”
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that he not only didn't blame himself, but took all the blame, secretly felt guilty, but still "hummed" in his mouth, and said: "Since you know that it is all up to you, why do you want to be angry with my sister?" I rescued your granddaughter for you, and by the way, I brought your old acquaintance's son, buy one get one free, and the two don't owe each other. What about my sister? When did you release her? ”
Ge Changgeng smiled slightly and said, "How could the old man be angry with the White Lady? She was kept by her side just to continue her broken meridians. You've been cultivating on Mount Emei for so long, it's time to leave. He pulled out the jade flute with his backhand, pressed it with his fingertips, and blew it gently.
A white light shone brightly and inspired, rushing out of the pipe, turning into a woman in white, turning around, and falling in front of everyone's eyes.
Xu Xuan thought to himself: "Presumably, this is the Taoist sealing spell that my uncle said." It's amazing that a huge person can be included in a small jade flute! When I looked at it, my brain shook violently, my whole body stiffened, and I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore.
The woman was barefoot like frost, her skin was better than snow, and her eyes were looking forward to it, as if melting ice and spring water, cold and mysterious, which made people look forward to it.
Sure enough, it was the woman in white who was dressed as a man with Xiaoqing that day!
That day, in the broken bridge canopy, thunder and lightning, a glimpse, although Xu Xuan did not think that she was a daughter, but always felt that the face was familiar. At this time, this strange familiarity is even stronger. But my mind was so full of thoughts that I couldn't remember where I had seen it, even if it was in a dream.
The woman in white bowed down to Ge Changgeng Yingying and said, "Thank you Immortal Ge for saving me." The voice is softer and more pleasant than Xu Xuan's memory, like spring ice melting, tumbling into a babbling stream.
Xu Xuan was ignorant of the relationship between men and women, whether it was Xiaoqing, Li Qiuqing, or any woman he had ever seen in Lin'an City, he had never felt the trembling of the woman in white that this woman in white brought him. He was in a trance, his heart was pounding wildly, and he almost wanted to jump out of his throat, but his whole body seemed to be petrified, and he couldn't move.
Xiaoqing took the hand of the woman in white, glanced at the lost Xu Xuan, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's go." If you don't leave, even if you don't get dismantled by the demon gate, you will be swallowed by this Xu Xiaoguan's life! ”
Xu Xuan's face turned red, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the woman in white only glanced at him faintly, so he turned his head away, and his heart suddenly felt a tingling pain. He has been favored since he was a child, and he is used to being the focus of everyone's attention, but this shocking woman in white treats him as a void, and he can't help but feel lost.
The woman in white stared at Ge Changgeng, her eyes were slightly red, and she saluted again, saying, "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever." Ge Immortal cherishes. He took Xiaoqing's hand and walked out side by side.
At this time, the hoarse magnetic voice laughed wildly again: "Little goblin, isn't it too late to leave now?" The widow's disciples and grandchildren have already surrounded this Emei Mountain, and even if you become loaches, you won't be able to slip out! ”
Xiaoqing snorted and said with a smile: "The duck in the pot still dares to laugh at the chicken in the water?" I don't know who is trapped in the gourd, and I can't survive and die. I really want to stay here and see how you were turned into a puddle of pus by Ge Laodao. ”
The voice laughed and said: "Little goblin, Ge Laodao was injured in his meridians in order to put the widow into the gourd that night, and in order to save your sister Bai and this little official Xu in the past few days, he has consumed a lot of true yuan, where did he have the strength to turn the widow into pus?" Those who know the times are Junjie, you killed Ge Laodao, let Lao Tzu out, and the widow not only spared you from death, but also accepted you as apprentices, preaching and ascending to immortals......"
Xu Xuan heard it clearly this time, and the voice came from the agate gourd on Ge Changgeng's waist, and he was very surprised. This person calls himself Lao Tzu for a while, and he calls himself a widow for a while, I don't know who it is, is it the current Song Dynasty official?
Ge Changgeng shook his head and said, "Demon, let you think about it in the Nine Old Caves for twenty years, but you still don't know how to repent. The fingertips swirled lightly around the mouth of the gourd.
The silver light flicked away, and the voice suddenly distorted and changed tone, turning into a sad angry laugh: "Ge Lao Dao, the thief is a natural disaster every year, and the dog emperor is a man-made disaster every year, why don't you let them think about repentance?" You have humiliated Lao Tzu for 20 years, and when Lao Tzu comes out of this gourd, you will be asked to repay it twice! ”
Before the words fell, only a "boom" was heard, the cave wall shook, and the dust was billowing.
Outside the cave came the dense pipa and zither like a raging storm, mixed with the terrible and terrifying roar of birds and beasts, and the roar of the mountains and the tsunami.
Everyone's faces changed in unison, and they couldn't imagine that the Demon Gate had found their hiding place so quickly.
Almost at the same time, a feminine and charming voice came in from afar outside the waterfall at the entrance of the cave: "Ge Zhenren, after so many years, you still haven't changed at all, you are still so nosy and merciful. Alas, if you killed those two little goblins and didn't treat the petty officials of the Xu family, how could I follow the 'acacia worms' in their bodies to find here? ”
Xu Xuan was shocked, like falling into the ice abyss. That voice made him unforgettable, it was the blood-sucking "female corpse" that hid in the coffin at the bottom of the tomb of Wuchen'an that day, and broke the meridians all over his body with one palm. As expected by Immortal Ge, this demon girl used him and Xiaoqing as bait and found here all the way!
Ge Changgeng's body also seemed to freeze, a painful look of joy and sorrow flashed on his face, and he said lightly: "Li Yuanjun, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you have completely changed." If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you go sixteen years ago, and there wouldn't be one more blood-sucking zombie in this world who is not like a human or a ghost. ”
The demon queen's voice got closer and closer, and Gege smiled: "Ge Zhenren, if it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't have become like this." Your kindness to me, this palace has all been remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget it for a moment. However, today's palace is not here to catch up with you, but to lead the gods down to receive the emperor's royal drive, and please give others a convenience for yourself. ”
Before Ge Changgeng could answer, there was a hoarse buzzing laughter from the agate gourd on his waist: "Lady, I haven't seen you for twenty years, don't come unharmed?" I miss you so much all these years! ”
There was a cheer outside the cave, and there was a lot of cheers: "Emperor! Sure enough, it's the emperor! I'm too late for help, so please forgive me! ”
Emperor of the Divine Gate? Xu Xuan suddenly remembered what his fathers said about the rivers and lakes, his heart was shocked, and he lost his voice: "Yes! You are the Demon Emperor Lin Lingsu! ”
The man in the gourd laughed wildly: "Yes, the widow is the Divine Gate Heavenly Emperor Lin Lingsu!" The sound was like thunder, shaking the agate gourd, and the torch in the cave was suddenly extinguished.
Xu Xuan once heard Cheng Zhongfu say that there are many factions in the world that learn the Tao and seek immortals, and in the final analysis, there are no more than two kinds: one is to cultivate qi, alchemy and other ways, step by step, improve their own Yuan Shen Zhenqi, until they become a pure Taoist Yuan Infant and soar into immortals. It is for the right way.
Second, he quickly improved his Yuan Shen with the technique of the left way of the side door, and flew out of the body by unscrupulous means, and most of his Yuan Babies were gathered by evil gods and demons, and the yin and evil were impure. It's for the devil's way.
Although these two methods can be immortal, but the path of good and evil is different, and there is a world of difference, although the cultivator of the demon god enters the realm quickly, it is difficult to cultivate the Taoist Yuanying, and in the end it is impossible to refine the positive fruit.
However, the path of correction is extremely difficult and difficult, and those who have no wisdom often die without wisdom. Many people who learn the Tao are suffering from cultivation and greedy for immortality, and in order to seek shortcuts, they often do not hesitate to abandon the right path and fall into the demonic path. In order to obtain a bigger and stronger true element and immortality, he must go farther and farther on the demon path until he is gone.
Because of this, most of the people in the Demon Dao come from the orthodox Dao sect, and there are even many people who have attained the Dao, but because of the stagnation of their cultivation, they sprout evil thoughts, go astray, or commit a lot of crimes in order to improve their true essence.
And the people in the orthodox Dao Sect also take cleaning up the portal and exterminating the demon god as their top priority, and they are in trouble with it. In this respect, Taoism is no different from Buddhism.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the wind of seeking immortals is flourishing, and there are more and more people who practice the devil's way, these people in order to resist the extermination of Taoism and Buddhism, gradually merge with each other, secretly form societies, worship the ancestors of Chi, call themselves "God Gate", and the world is called "Demon Gate".
The Demon Gate imitates the ancient system, and sets up its own positions such as "God Emperor", "Queen of Heaven", as well as "Blue Emperor", "White Emperor", "Black Emperor", "Red Emperor", "Yellow Emperor", etc., from top to bottom, ruling the whole door. That is, the folk call "Demon Emperor", "Demon Queen" and "Five Demon Gods". In addition, there are also the so-called "Ten Ancestors and Five Mothers of the Demon Gate", corresponding to the "Ten Gods of the Great Wilderness" and the "Five Holy Maidens" in ancient times.
The demon emperors of the past dynasties and the demon queen are secretive, and they rarely appear in public, and they often appear in other identities, and most of them wear masks when they appear as the deity, which is quite mysterious. In the past 400 years, only one demon emperor has revealed his identity, and has been besieged and killed by various sects of Taoism and Buddhism, and his life and death are unknown.
He was the world's first Taoist Lin Lingsu who was awarded the title of "Yuzhen Sect Master Shenxiao Ning Temple Attendant" by Huizong that year.
