Chapter 16: Stunned Friends
The spirit beast flew and sang in the wind, gliding through the clouds, overlooking the imperial city of the ancient city of Zijin.
The imperial city is solemn and gorgeous, located in the center of the ancient city of Zijin, standing on the top of the majestic peak, the moat on all sides is like a dragon abyss, and the four overpasses lead directly to the four dragon bronze jade gates. Four heavenly gates lead directly to the mountain, and the town is divided into four directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest.
The imperial city and the hollowed-out mountain are integrated, as high as a thousand feet, like an attic in the sky.
The palace is extraordinary, bronze cast as the backbone, the beam is painted with enamel gold filigree, the four walls are dyed snow white, the eaves are carved with jade, the green tile contains ancient rhyme, the red pillar plate is red jade dragon, and the white jade column is quiet and shaohua.
There is a hall called Cangyun Palace, and there is a letter in the hall, which is not only connected to the beacon tower, but also can transmit messages for thousands of miles.
The ancient Xintianyi is inseparable from the magic of skilled craftsmen.
The dragon balls on the compass are shining brightly, there are hookahs lingering, and the golden rings are like three layers of star rings intertwined, rotating slowly around the dragon balls in a regular manner.
The Xintianyi shone with a golden light, and in the golden light, the faint golden gas was like clouds and mist, lingering in columns of golden words hanging in the air.
The Spirit Jade Emperor and the Great Master frowned, looking at Xintianyi with solemn expressions. The Spirit Jade Emperor glanced up at the sky, stretched out his hand to pick up the yellowing fallen leaves, closed his eyes, frowned and said: "The autumn leaves fall in spring, the ghosts are coming, pass on the edict, and order the three-star palace of the slanting moon to increase the difficulty of the immortal martial arts trial, and the eleventh person must be selected within one month, as the third disciple of Dianlang, lead the ten disciples, and form a hunting netherworld team, which will be executed tomorrow without delay." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said the great master.
On the vertical day, the three-star palace of the oblique moon, and the registration day of the Xianwu trial, the top and bottom gathered together on the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven is misty and misty, and the white petals are like snow, like a fairyland on earth.
Qingding real person white jade carved cloud seat was sitting on the front seat, the six elders had serious expressions, and the ten disciples were all present, everyone tensed their nerves and did not relax at all.
This trial is a big matter, and it is not trivial, and Qingding Zhenren personally announced the matter.
Qingding Zhenren stroked his long beard, got up and solemnly announced: "In this immortal martial arts trial, the trialist must cross the deep water cold, fight the poisonous dragon pool, break into the wasteland purgatory, and fight the top ten disciples with the strength of one person, and finally defeat the first disciple of the hall Qing Ming and the second disciple of the palace Zixia, become the eleventh person, and be the third disciple of the palace, enter the imperial city to meet the Lingyu Emperor, and those who do not participate in the trial take a step back." ”
Qingding Zhenren's announcement, the disciples were talking about each other, thousands of disciples retreated, and the brushes were extremely neat, only twenty disciples cheered, barely allowing themselves to retreat......
"Isn't this trial looking for death?"
"How is it possible to pass the trial, let alone the top ten disciples, it is more difficult to reach the sky just by being cold in the deep water?"
"Isn't it impossible to pass such a trial?"
"These twenty people are crazy, they really covet the title of the third disciple of this palace. ”
......
"Shut it all up for me!" Qingding Zhenren frowned tightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but roar angrily.
Qingding Zhenren's anger made the disciples immediately shut up and were silent. Seeing this, the six elders all shook their heads and sighed, as if they were a little lost.
"Hmph, if you don't dare, that monkey will dare to participate in the trial. Qingding Zhenren flicked his sleeves and said.
"But, real man, the monkey is not here at this time. The Great Elder asked puzzled.
Qingding Zhenren sat down, stroked his long beard and said, "Then wait!"
"Yes!" the Grand Elder nodded.
"Shizun is so partial to that stinky monkey, I must get rid of him. Qing Ming clenched his fists tightly and said.
"Dead monkey, you said you would come back, you must come back!" Zixia said praying.
At this moment, the entire Temple of Heaven was silent, as if waiting for the person who dared to be the first in the world to appear, and everyone's patience was gradually eroded.
Qingding Zhenren looked anxious, waiting for the monkey to appear. Zixia's heart was even more spread of ants on the hot pot, and she looked at the sky and wanted to see through it.
The monkey didn't show up for a long time, and the disciples gradually began to whisper......
"Is this monkey still coming?"
"The registration day is only today, and the monkey is afraid that he will miss it. ”
"I think the monkey is also afraid, you must know that this is a trial of nine deaths and one life. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I think the monkeys are afraid. ”
"There are only twenty people who dare to participate in the trial for a thousand disciples, and it's a good thing that the monkey doesn't participate. ”
......
"Senior sister, the monkey won't come!" said Qing Ming with a gloating smile.
"The monkey promised me that he would definitely come back. Zixia stubbornly looked at her, wet her eyes, and still said resolutely as iron.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't say it too early, I will definitely participate in this trial. ”
Before Zixia's words fell, a phoenix chirped from the sky, and above the white phoenix, the monkey stood in a graceful manner, speaking loudly.
Everyone looked at the monkey in a fuss and was speechless.
The monkey drove the white phoenix and glided slowly to land in the Temple of Heaven, passing through the clouds, passing by the wind, looking majestic and extraordinary.
The white phoenix fluttered and fell, the monkey jumped to the ground easily, the white phoenix emitted a soft white light, in the color light, transformed into a spirit bird, like a white magpie, flying on the monkey's shoulder.
"Meet the Master!" said the monkey with a smile on his face.
"Okay, monkey, as a teacher, I know that you will definitely come back for the trial. Qingding Zhenren said with a smile.
"What!" Qing Ming said fiercely.
"Monkey-" Zixia burst into tears with a smile, rushed to the monkey with flying steps, hugged the monkey tightly, and said as if she was alive or dead, "Why did you come back?"
The spirit bird on the monkey's shoulder was shocked, and while chirping, it kept flapping its wings, staring at the monkey and Zixia.
The monkey winked, pretended to be angry, and whispered don't make a fuss, and the spirit bird chirped a few times, flapped its wings, and quietly rested on the monkey's shoulder.
"It's extremely hateful, this stinky monkey!" Qing Ming panicked in his heart, gritting his teeth and secretly saying with jealousy.
"I'm sorry, didn't I come back?" the monkey slowly lifted Zixia's shoulders, pursed his lips, gently wiped away Zixia's tears, and said with a smile full of emotion.
"Monkey, the chance of passing this trial is very small, not to mention that you are unranked, why do you want to participate in the trial?" Zixia said as she looked at the monkey with concern.
"Even if there is a little hope, I will not hesitate, because I want to meet the Spirit Jade Emperor!" the monkey said resolutely.
"What!" Zixia said confusedly.
"Wait a minute. The monkey said mysteriously.
The monkey said, came to the green and white jade monument, smiled confidently and looked back at everyone, lightly bit his fingers, and confidently pressed his hand on the Taiji relief on the monument.
In an instant, a golden strong light shot into the sky, and there was a dragon chant in the strong light, and a "Heavenly Rank Extraordinary" came out immediately.
"What!" the jaws dropped, and their mouths were wide open, completely speechless. Even the six elders stood up violently, breaking out in a cold sweat with a dumbfounded expression.
The spirit bird on the monkey's shoulder also flapped its wings and flew up, hovering happily around the monkey, as happy as welcoming spring.
"This can't be, it's impossible, isn't he rankless?" Qing Ming said in disbelief as he gritted his teeth and opened his big pupils.
"Master, are you still worried?" said the monkey with a confident smile.
"You-"
Zixia covered her mouth in surprise and smiled, so happy that she couldn't speak.
"This monkey, how come he has only been away for a few days, and he has such an incredible creation?" Qingding Zhenren said with a slight smile while caressing his long beard.
At this time, all the disciples were in an uproar, discussing with each other......
"My God, am I dreaming, I have such a high level realm in just a few days!"
"The sun is coming out of the west!"
"This monkey is truly unprecedented!"
"This monkey is a monster!"
......
Two days passed quietly, and on the cloud viewing platform of the three-star palace of the oblique moon, Qingding real people talked with old friends of the Budai Zen master, and watched the vast sea of clouds while playing a chess game.
Jiangliu children are innocent and bright, chasing butterflies and having fun.
Qingding Zhenren was preoccupied, stroked his long beard, and said indecisively: "What should be the solution to the catastrophe of fate?"
"Old friend Bodhi, you're worried about that monkey. The Zen Master asked with a smile.
"Don't hide it from my old friend, I don't worry much about the Xianwu trial, because I believe in Wukong, I am most worried about Wukong's fateful catastrophe, his enemy is too strong, the gods will return to the Nine Realms sooner or later, and the demon god who destroyed the world and caused trouble in the Heavenly Court of Lingshan Seven thousand years ago is nowhere to be found, I always feel that Heavenly Court is hiding something. Qingding Zhenren sighed and said with confidence.
Budai Zen Master laughed and said teasingly: "I didn't expect that my old friend who has practiced for many years will also be confused, and the monkey will have to face it sooner or later, so it is better to inform the monkey of everything, so that the monkey can cultivate and grow well, and the selection of the eleventh person at the moment is a small test." ”
Qingding Zhenren thought about it carefully, smiled slightly and said: "That's right, this fateful catastrophe, Wukong is the only way for Wukong to achieve nirvana." ”
"You're not just worried about that, old friend. The Zen master said, twisting the beads.
"That's right, what I'm most worried about is the indissoluble fateful relationship between Zixia and Wukong, and I'm hesitating to tell Wukong about Zixia. Qingding lightly shook his head and said with his long beard.
"Their fate is already doomed, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is better to find a time, tell the monkey, let the monkey choose for himself. The Zen master of Budai also fell and said with a smile.
Qingding Zhenren smiled slightly, got up and looked at the sky, and said with all his thoughts: "Old friend, you are right, in fact, I think so too, but Wukong has such a high level of cultivation in a few days, which really makes me incredible." ”
At this moment, the belated monkey came to the cloud viewing platform, with a smile on his face, his spirit was good, and there was still a white spirit bird on his shoulder. Jiang Liu'er, who was playing on the side, saw the monkey coming, and immediately ran to the monkey, blinked his big eyes, and happily called out like a fan: "Great Sage, you are here!"
