Chapter 974: No Return to the Forest
What do we do when we find ourselves on the wrong path? Turning back or taking a shortcut?
Li En met the Emperor Zhenwu in Tianqi Nanhuai, the other party was the highest martial artist of the Taoist Sect, so he was defeated, and even his right hand was almost abolished again, but he impressed the other party with his "friend". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The master is lonely, the higher the realm, the more lonely he is, and all his relatives and friends, including opponents, who are with him have become stepping stones when they climb up.
"This Zhenwu Hall hasn't been so lively for a long time, I really envy you for dying and having so many friends!" Emperor Zhenwu sighed, and Li En asked: "I'm in a hurry to rush to Fengming Town, is there a shortcut?" ”
When Emperor Zhenwu saw these Taoist priests and Dapeng Birds who came with Lien, he understood, and shook his head: "You are from Mo Nanqing, you can go directly to Fengming Town from there!" ”
Ryan was shocked and angry when he heard this. He glared at the Yuxu Daoist, and the old Taoist priest shrank into a ball in fright, and Luofu Zhenren quibbled: "Originally, you could quickly reach Fengming Town from Yunyao Queling through Juntian City, but unfortunately a battle to capture the city is being held there, and the city gate is sealed, so you can't enter or exit!" ”
Abi hurriedly asked: "Then is it too late for us to return to Monan Qingyuan now?" ”
Emperor Zhenwu still shook his head: "The distance from here to Fengming Town is the same as the distance to Monan Qingyuan, but I can send you to the Forest of No Return, and then go to Linhai Valley to Fengming Town, let Dapeng send you, the speed will be very fast!" ”
After hearing this, Li En immediately knelt down and thanked him, and Emperor Zhenwu hurriedly supported him and said, "You and I are friends, don't be so polite!" We don't know each other, and we don't have any gifts to give you, but this sword has followed me for a thousand years, and I gave it to you! ”
The two Taoist priests were secretly surprised, and Rien did not refuse, but in return, he gave the dementor rod to each other.
The two Taoist priests were even more surprised, and the Lingtai Demon Envoy asked, "This soul wand is the magic weapon of the god of the underworld!" ”
Ryan said: "These are all things outside the body, what is more precious than making a friend!" ”
Emperor Zhenwu got up and instructed the Dapeng Bird outside the hall: "Do you know now which of the Taoist Sect or the Buddhist Sect has higher martial arts?" Lien Shangxian is anxious to go to Fengming Town to save people, I will no longer stay, I will send you to the Forest of No Return together, otherwise that old man who burns the lamp is very stubborn and will not let you go! ”
Li En thanked him, brought the sword, called the two maids and the Lingtai demon envoy to pull the two Taoist priests out of the main hall, and the roc bowed down, let them all ride on his back, and then spread his huge wings and flew to the southwest.
On Dapeng's back, Li En chatted with Emperor Zhenwu: "I have a friend named Ji Dengting, who was the marshal of the Great Song Dynasty Navy before his death, and he hopes to bring his beloved to live here in seclusion!" The view is really good for seclusion! ”
Emperor Zhenwu said frankly: "If your friend wants to bring his lover to live in seclusion here, I am very welcome, but I recommend Lethe River Flower Sea, which is the most suitable place to live in seclusion with his lover!" ”
Dapeng soon humped them out of Tianqi Nanhuai, stopped outside a poplar forest, and after everyone came down, he explained: "I can't leave the boundless sea too far and too long, I have to go back, otherwise I won't be able to become a kun, we will have a time later!" ”
Rien and Emperor Zhenwu waved goodbye to him, and the Roc spread his giant wings and returned to the Endless Sea.
The forest was not very dense, but at this time the leaves withered and fell all over the ground, and a tiger's roar came from the forest.
Ryan immediately asked, "Are there still tigers in this forest?" ”
Emperor Zhenwu introduced: "It is a pet raised by the old Taoist who burns the lamp, and it is also a mount." ”
The Lingtai Demon Envoy asked again: "Isn't the mount of the Lantern Daoist a sika deer?" How did you become a tiger? ”
Luofu Zhenren said impatiently: "Let's go in and ask the old way of lighting the lamp!" ”
They stepped on the fallen leaves into the woods, the bare branches gave people a sense of slaughter, in the middle of the forest, a gust of wind blew, a black tiger suddenly appeared, blocking everyone's way.
Li En was busy guarding with his sword, but the Emperor Zhenwu scolded: "Beast, where is your master? ”
"It's you, and you!" An old Taoist priest with a white beard and a golden Taoist robe appeared, presumably a lantern-burning Taoist.
Luofu Zhenren and Yuxu Dao Chang saw him and hurriedly bowed their heads.
The lantern man raised his legs, stepped on the black tiger, and asked, "What are you doing here?" And you two seem to be hurt? ”
Yuxu Daoist hurriedly called for help: "Master, save the disciple Sun!" ”
Luofu Zhenren also echoed: "Our Taoist sect was defeated by this Buddhist disciple named Lien, and he was humiliated!" ”
The lantern Daoist looked at Lien, and Emperor Zhenwu hurriedly explained: "Old Dao, don't listen to the nonsense of your two juniors, this Lien son is a heavenly general, just to go to Fengming Town to rescue his senior sister, and you are here; The two apprentices and grandsons blocked, so they had to take action, especially the Yuxu Daoist, who also provided the Taoist temple to imprison Li Gongzi's senior sister, pointing out the wrong path for him, Luofu Zhenren knew that it was the wrong way, but he didn't remind Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi's senior sister was about to give birth, and if she couldn't arrive in time, she might die in childbirth! ”
The Burning Lamp Daoist nodded and scolded, "Two rebels, how did your master teach you? Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating map, but you have done something harmful! ”
Li En also learned that this Burning Lamp Daoist has a very high status in the Dao Sect, and has a similar status to the Tongtian Sect Master, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Taiyi Zhenren. Then he asked: "I don't know if it is possible for Venerable to break the immeasurable enchantment set up by the psychic son?" ”
The Burning Lamp Daoist asked, "Psychic son?" Is it the gourd seed of the purple gold gourd born from the Kunlun fairy vine? ”
Ryan nodded yes and explained: "I offended the psychic son because of the ten demon beasts in the demon tower, and he took away my wife, children and senior sister, they have all been killed, only my senior sister is still alive, and she was imprisoned in the Taoist temple of the Yuxu Daoist in Fengming Town, and the psychic son set up an immeasurable enchantment outside the Taoist temple to prevent me from rescuing!" ”
The person who lit the lamp understood and scolded: "Rebel, you dare to do such a thing that violates the conscience of heaven, punish you for sweeping the fallen leaves in the forest of no return, when will you clean up the fallen leaves before you can leave!" ”
Lien was a little puzzled, but he still took the opportunity to do a favor and ordered the two maids to release the two Taoist priests.
Ah Bi couldn't help but ask: "Burning the lamp Daozun, why did you call this Dao number?" And isn't your mount a sika deer? How did you change it to Black Tiger? ”
Rien was about to stop her, but the person who lit the lamp waved his hand and explained: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao lights the lamp because it ignites the Baolian lamp and illuminates the world, so there is this way!" ”
Ah Qing was surprised when he heard this, and Lien hurriedly took out the Baolian lamp, presented it to Lao Dao, and explained: "Daozun, this Baolian lamp was given by the Jizo Bodhisattva who was born in hell in the later years, since it is the holy weapon of Daozun, then it will be returned to its original owner!" ”
The lantern Taoist took the Baolian lantern, and was also very surprised, and sighed: "Li Gongzi was honored in the fairy world at a young age, and he is so well aware of the righteousness, which makes the poor road ashamed, speaking of the poor road's mount, it should have been a sika deer, but when the two religions were fighting, the poor road and Zhao Gongming fought each other, and after being canonized, he wrote off the grievances before his death, and exchanged mounts, so Zhao Gongming's brother is now riding a sika deer, and the poor road is riding his black tiger!" ”
Only then did the Lingtai Demon Envoy understand, and the Burning Lamp Daoist continued: "Since Gongzi Li is eager to save people's hearts, then the poor Dao will send you to the Linhai Valley, and from there enter Fengming Town, and break the immeasurable barrier set up by the iron cage!" ”
