Chapter 20: The Cave Deep
Orchid helped Yun Zhongzi to the back mountain.
Yun Zhongzi waved his sleeves, and a resolute and smooth stone wall suddenly opened, only to see the three big characters of "Seven Provincial Mansions" written on the door of the cave.
"These seven provincial capitals are the place where the first patriarch of Kunlunqiu enlightened the Tao, and it is also the place where the Futu Pagoda was discovered, and no one else has been here except for the heads of the previous dynasties."
Hu Ji looked left and right, he had been in Kunlun for more than ten years, and he had been to the back mountain countless times, but he didn't find that there was a cave here.
She asked suspiciously, "But master, Senior Brother Yun Zhi is the next leader, why did you bring me here?" β
"Hehe, he has a chance to come in in the future, let's go in!"
Xianshan Cave Mansion, winding paths lead to seclusion, from the outside, the three provincial mansions are just a faΓ§ade, but once inside, only to find that there is a lot of good things here.
It can no longer be described by the word "hole".
There is a colorful glow in the air, the top of the cave gathers the sun and the moon, a green thousand-year-old cypress, a smoke-containing 10,000-year-old green pine, two sacred trees are intertwined, supporting a void, and in the void, the crane is flying, the chirping is long, the phoenix is flying, the auspicious clouds are emerging, the white deer with crystal horns is hidden from time to time, it is really a blessed place in the cave, and the heaven of victory is victorious.
Suddenly seeing so many wonderful visions, Orchid's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide.
"Is this where the gods live? It's beautiful! β
"Hehe, not exactly, this is the place where the heads of the past generations of Kunlun are buried."
"What?" Orchid was surprised.
"Kunlun has been in charge, when he took office, and when he died, he had two opportunities to come here. Without the consent of the Heavenly Dao, no one can enter. β
"But, why didn't the master bring Senior Brother Yun Zhi in?"
"Don't worry, the teacher has been arranged, and after he succeeds to the head of the house, he will naturally come here, and at that time, he will ...... for the teacher."
It has long been ancient.
Yun Zhongzi didn't say the latter words, but Hu Ji guessed a few points.
"Master......"
"Come on Orchid, take out your birthday gift, let's eat and talk."
When the orchid heard this, she took out four roast lamb shanks, cut them thinly with a knife, and placed them on a plate.
"Master, please!"
"Hmm...... The craftsmanship of the orchid is getting better and better, this leg of lamb is roasted, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it is really the best in the world! Yun Zhongzi was not polite, and feasted on a plate.
When he finished eating, his spirit was much better, and Hu Ji watched Yun Zhongzi silently all the way, not a taste in his heart, and someone who was greedy also had abstinence for a day.
"Alright, the master is done eating, it's time to tell you the purpose of bringing you here."
"Well, master, you can say it!"
"Orchid, do you know what the floating pagoda on your chest means?"
Orchid shook her head in confusion.
She only knew that the Floating Life Pagoda was integrated with herself, and it was a rare artifact and treasure. However, for thirteen years, this pagoda has been useless to her.
"Then have you ever heard of the seventh-level floating slaughter of the Buddhist family?"
Orchid thought for a while, nodded and said: "Lang Lang once taught Orchid that Buddhism has seven sufferings, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, injury, separation, begging, tasting the seven sufferings and building a floating slaughter......"
When Hu Ji said this, she paused in surprise, and then said, "What does the master mean, the Floating Life Pagoda has something to do with the seventh-level floating slaughter?" β
"Hehe, they all say that Orchid is stupid, I see you, you are wise and stupid."
Yun Zhongzi smiled lovingly, touched Hu Ji's soft black hair, and then said: "If you can resolve the Seven Sufferings of Floating Life one by one, not only can you relieve your lonely life, but you can also open the Floating Life Pagoda and obtain the treasures inside layer by layer, according to rumors, these treasures can create a peaceful and prosperous world." β
"Open the Floating Life Tower and relieve the orphan's life, then am I going to leave Kunlun and return to the Hu Dynasty?"
"Don't Orchids want to go back?"
Orchid was speechless, since coming to Kunlun, she had never thought of leaving.
"Oh, yes, Emperor Hu and his wife have never taken care of you all these years, but their love for you is visible in heaven and earth, and when you open the Floating Tower, let's go back! Not only do your parents miss you, but the whole world needs you even more. β
"But, master......"
"No, but, this is your Heavenly Dao Destiny, as a Kunlun disciple, you must abide by it, understand?"
Yun Zhongzi's voice is gentle, but it exudes a firmness that cannot be disobeyed.
Hu Ji had never seen such a serious Yun Zhongzi, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered, "Master...... My parents gave birth to me, and I want to repay the favor, but whether the world is good or not, what does it matter to me? β
"In the future, you will understand. Now, the teacher is going to teach you a Kunlun spell - the art of forgetting worries. β
"Forget worries, what's that?"
"It's a spell that can make you forget the memories you want to forget the most, and live again, do you want to learn?"
"Why should I forget?"
"Heavenly secrets, don't divulge."
"Oh, since the master asks for it, then Orchid just study hard."
β¦β¦
Seven days later, the entrance of the cave of the seven provincial capitals.
The five elders and Yun Zhi led everyone to their knees, and everyone stared at the cave door.
The scorching sun is rising, everything is full of vitality, and the cave doors of the seven provincial capitals are slowly opening in the fragrance of birds and flowers.
A sad figure walked out of it.
"Senior Brother Yunzhi, master he ......"
Before Orchid finished speaking, two lines of hot tears welled up, and Yun Zhi stepped forward, hugged Orchid, and comforted him silently.
Waiting for Hu Ji to suck back a few tears, he continued: "Master let you in!" β
Yun Zhi nodded, and told Yun Kongkong to wait to take care of Hu Ji before eagerly entering the cave.
Inside the cave.
Yun Zhi stepped forward quickly and knelt down in front of Yun Zhongzi, who was meditating.
"Master?."
A sad and forbearant whimper overflowed from Yun Zhi's mouth, and the sadness he endured was completely collapsed the moment he saw Yun Zhongzi.
"Silly boy, after today, the master will be promoted to immortality, and if you cry like this, you will be reluctant to be a teacher. You have to be happy, you have to laugh...... Filial son, filial son, let the teacher see your smile, where is it? β
"Hmm...... Scold...... Hehe......"
Hearing this, Yun Zhi wiped a few handfuls of tears and barely held back a smile.
"Oh, laughing is more ugly than crying, I'm going to succeed the head of the house, and I'm still so naughty......"
"Master, you, you really will ascend to immortal!?"
"Naturally, every head of Kunlun has this immortal fate, you don't have to be too sad, now, the teacher has to do the last thing for Kunlun, that is, the inheritance of the master."
β¦β¦
After a stick of incense.
Yun Zhi staggered out of the Seven Provinces Cave Mansion with a sad face, even better than the orchid just now.
The crowd was frightened and hurriedly surrounded them.
"Yun Zhi, how is the master?"
"Yes, senior brother, master he ......"
"Senior brother, you can say something!"
β¦β¦
"Master, he...... has ascended to immortality. β
Yun Zhi said these words sadly, closed her eyes, and a line of tears welled up.
When everyone heard this, the scene fell silent instantly.
The head of the Kunlun generation, the immortal who lives forever in the eyes of the world, just left! Although I was mentally prepared, I was still distressed.
