Chapter 25: Chessboard Peak Ancestral Hall
High in the sky, above the wind and mist, Tianxue looked in the direction of the white fox's finger, and saw a tall and beautiful mountain peak in the distance. The blue and white peaks rise into the sky, and a bright white waterfall rushes down from the top, as if splitting the entire peak, forming a steep and upright cliff.
Halfway up the cliff is a huge ashlar with a smooth surface that sparkles in the sun, like a large chessboard placed in the sky by an immortal, perhaps the chessboard peak is named after it.
What made Tianxue sigh even more was that there was a tall ancient tree growing on the giant ashlar, with lush branches and sparkling spiritual light, which was very amazing.
Tianxue couldn't help but sigh, nature's heavenly axe magic is really too powerful.
Seeing that the giant ashlar was getting closer and closer to her, she suddenly felt that her hand was tightly held by the white fox, and the wind and mist under her feet disappeared at some point, and the feeling of weightlessness scared Tianxue to scream.
A white light flashed, and the white fox led her to land on the boulder.
The water of the waterfall falling from the top of the mountain washed the stone face beneath his feet, and the splash of water wet Tianxue's shoes. The breeze was heavy with moisture, and Tianxue felt that his clothes and hair were about to be soaked with the moisture.
Hearing Tianxue screaming, the white fox laughed at her and said, "Little goblin, it seems that you really don't know how to learn, and you are even afraid of landing in the air, and you are really embarrassed to say it." ”
"Sao Fox, why didn't you say it in advance when you were about to land, I was startled by you because I wasn't prepared. And stop calling me a goblin, I'm not a goblin, I'm a fairy. ”
"Haha! There is a stupid immortal like you in the fairy world? You can't even fly with the wind, who would believe you if you say you are an immortal?" The white fox was laughing at Tianxue again.
Tianxue was told by the white fox about his shortcomings, and shouted at him angrily: "You don't need to stimulate me for a while, you will be uncomfortable, aren't you? Aren't you just worried that I will compete for favor with you in front of the gods? Tell you, I will fight with you, and I will be angry with you." ”
"How dare you be angry with me? Be careful that I don't fly with you later, let you walk back by yourself, and exhaust you. ”
"Have you forgotten what God has told you? Take me into the ancestral hall quickly, I don't want to quarrel with you halfway up the mountain." ”
The white fox pointed to the waterfall in front of him and said, "Hmph, who wants to quarrel with you, I won't bring you here without God's instructions." See if there is a cave behind the water curtain? The ancestral hall is in the cave, let's go in. After entering, you need to kneel in front of the Buddha case to worship the two gods and the three Venerables, and you also have to kowtow to the three gods frozen in the water jade, you hurry up, I'm still in a hurry to go back. ”
Tianxue nodded and did not speak.
Entering the cave through the water curtain, the two of them did not get wet because the white fox used his mana to avoid the water of the waterfall.
Tianxue thought that the cave would be very wet and dark, but he didn't expect that the cave was spacious and bright, and the furnishings were extraordinarily gorgeous, the ground paved with bluestone was clean and flat, and the Buddha case carved in white jade was wide and large, and it circled around the four walls of the cave, and various tributes and candles and Buddha incense were neatly placed on it. The statue of the god carved from the five-pier colorful marble stands behind the Buddha case, with a vivid and lifelike expression, like a real person.
Tianxue saw the statue of Leng Guqing at a glance, and next to it was the statue of Yunyan Shangshen and the three Venerables.
As soon as she approached the Buddha case, she was startled by the four blue-clothed young men who appeared out of thin air. Tianxue quickly glanced at the four of them, they were all about twenty years old, although they were all white and beautiful, but the aura emanating from their bodies made Tianxue feel uncomfortable in an instant, it was a kind of cold and strong and majestic aura, which made people dare not approach.
The four of them looked at Tianxue and asked the white fox: "Xiaobai, this little junior sister is new here, right? We haven't seen her, I don't know if she has worshiped the Venerable One as a disciple?"
The white fox bowed his hand to the four and said, "Xiaobai has disturbed the four Dharma protectors." She has only been on the mountain for a few days, and today is the first time she has come to the ancestral hall to offer incense, and of course the four Dharma Protectors have seen her for the first time. She is a natural immortal, and the god Leng Gu has decided to take her as a disciple and instructed me to bring her here for worship. ”
The four Dharma Protector Boys looked at Tianxue at the same time, with envy and incredulity in their eyes.
After a while, they came to Tianxue together, and you talked to her one by one, looking very enthusiastic, and the cold and majestic aura on her body was gone.
One of them said: "Immortal Gu is a disciple of Leng Gu Shangshen, and she should kowtow to Leng Gu Shangshen first." ”
The other said, "Yes, come on, Fairy Gu, I'll bring you candles and Buddha incense." ”
Another said: "This ground is too hard, don't kneel first, I'll bring you a soft cushion." ”
There is another one who said: "Fairy Gu, I brought you the cushion, the three of them are too slow, let me help Fairy Gu order incense." ”
Tianxue was pulled over by the four people, and she felt that her head was confused, and she didn't know what to say.
The white fox next to him saw the four Dharma protectors dedicating themselves to Tianxue together, feeling angry and funny, and laughing at the four Dharma protectors in his heart, he was fascinated when he saw the beauty.
He blew the fox fur on the side of his mouth, and looked at Tianxue with envy and hatred on his face.
There are more than 8,000 disciples on Caiyun Mountain, each of whom has to come to the ancestral hall three days before the beginning of the month to offer incense, and the white fox has never seen the four Dharma protectors so attentive as today. However, it's not surprising to think about it, she is Leng Gushangshen's apprentice, who doesn't want to be close to her.
After the four Dharma protectors waited for Tianxue to give incense to the five immortals, the white fox stepped forward and said, "Leng Gu Shangshen said, let me tell the four Dharma protectors to draw a portrait of her with dragon blood and phoenix feathers and hang it on the west beam." ”
The four blue-clothed young men looked at Tianxue at the same time again, their eyes were even more surprised than just now, because they knew the rules of the ancestral hall, and only the portrait of the Venerable could be hung on the beam.
Later, a young man said, "Please go back and tell the gods that the four of us will help the fairy girl draw a beautiful portrait and hang it on the beam for the disciples on the mountain to see." ”
The white fox then said: "Oh! There is another thing I almost forgot, the Lenggu God also said that let the four Dharma Protectors take her to worship the three gods frozen in the water jade, please open the secret room." ”
The Dharma Protector Young Man was very surprised, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked the white fox: "Really? There are three gods hidden in the secret room, except for the two gods and the three Venerables in the entire Caiyun Mountain, only the four of us can enter the secret room, does the Lenggu God really want to let a new disciple who has just arrived enter the secret room?"
The white fox nodded and said, "Yes, Leng Gu Shangshen said it himself. ”
The Dharma Protector Young Man looked at Tianxue, his eyes were full of brilliance, and said: "It seems that the fairy girl is deeply loved by the gods, not only to hang the portrait of the fairy girl in the ancestral hall, but also to let the fairy Gu enter the secret room, I dare to say that it will not be long before the god Leng Gu will give the fairy Gu the identity of Venerable and put on the dragon bone hairpin to the fairy girl." ”
"What is a keel hairpin, is it only for His Holiness to wear it?" Tianxue didn't quite understand the meaning of the boy's words.
"Yes, now there are only three Venerables in the entire Caiyun Mountain wearing dragon bone hairpins, except for the two gods. ”
"I must be the fourth Venerable to have a dragon bone hairpin. ”
"Okay, don't delay the fairy girl's time, I'll open the secret room now and take the fairy girl to worship the three gods. ”
The four Dharma Protectors once again hugged Tianxue and walked behind the screen, leaving the white fox aside, which made the white fox very angry.
On the wall behind the screen is a giant landscape painting depicting the six main peaks of Caiyun Mountain, painted with various colors of ink. In the painting, the red sun rises in the east, the blue sky and white clouds, the green mountains and green waters, and the waterfalls and springs are very beautiful and spectacular.
A young Dharma protector jumped up and slapped his hand on the red sun in the painting, and the stone wall instantly cracked and slowly turned into a door.
At this moment, Tianxue realized that there was a mechanism on the wall, and as long as he pressed the red sun in the painting, he could open the secret door.
As soon as he walked into the secret room, a strong chill hit his face, Tianxue couldn't help but shiver, and asked, "Why is it so cold here?"
"Immortal Gu didn't know that there were three water jade sarcophagi in this secret room, which were frozen with the immortal bodies of the three gods. Water jade comes from the bottom of the East China Sea and is an extremely cold thing, and it has been placed in this secret room for 10,000 years, so it will be extremely cold in this secret room. ”
Tianxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I haven't been afraid of the cold since I was a child, otherwise I might freeze to death here." ”
"Yes, just because it's too cold here, the Leng Gu God ordered that the disciples were not allowed to enter the secret room, just for fear of freezing to death. I don't understand a little, why did the god Leng Gu arrange for the fairy girl to go into the secret room to worship? Isn't the god Leng Gu worried that the fairy girl will be injured by the cold here and get sick with the wind cold?"
"The master already knows my life experience, and he should also know that I am different from others, and he knows that I have not been afraid of the cold since I was a child, so he does not worry about me. ”
At this time, the other three Dharma Protector Youths came over one after another, one holding Buddha incense, one holding a few cushions, and the other holding a large plate of tribute.
"Fairy Gu, we have prepared everything for you, you can now kneel and worship the three gods. ”
"Thank you. Tianxue took the Buddha incense and tribute, and walked towards the three jade sarcophagi placed on the bluestone.
The young man with the cushion hurriedly followed, placing the cushions next to the sarcophagus.
Approaching the sarcophagus, Tianxue found that it was more than a zhang long, eight feet wide, and more than six feet thick, like ice cubes formed by clear water in winter, and it was constantly spewing cold air outward.
"Disciple Duan Tianxue, today I came to worship the god by the order of the master Leng Gu God, and knelt down to the god. She knelt on the cushion and said to the sarcophagus.
Tianxue knelt down to worship those sarcophagi one by one, and found that there was a person in white clothes lying in each sarcophagus, all with their eyes closed, their eyes were closed, their faces were ruddy, as if they were asleep, and they didn't look like they were dead at all, which made Tianxue feel very surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
Seeing that Tianxue kowtowed to each sarcophagus, a Dharma protector young man urged: "Okay, the fairy girl has finished worshipping, let's leave the secret room early, it's too cold here to stay for a long time." ”
