Chapter 17, Emperor Houtu sends chickens.
Looking at the past from Jilong Mountain, there are always so many strange things in the scenery of Xuanwu Lake.
This is an artificial lake, the Sima family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty believed in Mr. Guo's professional skills, in order to keep the royal spirit of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will not flow to Jiangdong again, so they dug such an artificial lake at the gate of Zijin City, which is the first artificial lake in human history.
However, the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty did not wait for the lake to accumulate energy and burst into force, and then flowed eastward with the Yangtze River and poured into the sea.
Fortunately, those golden iron horses in the past, with the banner covering the sun, scratched one after another, with the development of the times, turned into an inexhaustible aura, and permanently lived in this lake created by the efforts of many saints.
For thousands of years, Eastern and Western cultures have met here, and fairy heroes and demons and monsters will compete here from time to time. Millions of unjust souls are still waiting for one of them, the soul collector who can lead them to heaven.
Although, many of them don't know: which soul collector is who? And she will not come! When is it coming! β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Holy Spirit and I dressed up as bhikshunis, rested for a while at the top of the Roocoop Mountain, and then began our new work for the day.
When we come to this world, we all have to use the zero o'clock in the midnight Wu song as a sound mark for the alternation of black and white time in our day. Because in the Nine Heavens and the Thirty-Three Days, there is no distinction between day and night, and we do not have a concept of time, and we do not need time at all.
Because time flies there, so long that it is beyond the imagination of human beings all over the world.
Just as we were ready to start working, there was a burst of "Ding Dong!" from the belly of Jilong Mountain. Ding dong! "A low, mixed sound of digging earth and stones hitting each other.
"Senior brother, there is movement in the belly of the mountain." The Holy Spirit heard it too, and she said to me.
"I hear you. Holy Spirit, look here to see if there is an ideal place to build an altar. It doesn't need to be too big, ten centimeters square will do. I said to her.
"Ten centimeters? Brother, did I hear me right? Ten centimeters can be a venue? The Holy Spirit looked at me in confusion.
"You heard you right. That's 10 centimeters. Not to mention ten centimeters, even ten millimeters and ten microns can become a place. Found it, you'll understand. I said to her.
"Oh well! Brother. But you ...... Ten centimeters in range Ha...... Ay! β¦β¦ It's really hard to find. The Holy Spirit said to me.
"If you look carefully, Jilong Mountain is so big. Holy Spirit, I believe in you. Ten centimeters should not be difficult to find for my sister Holy Spirit. You look for it first, and the senior brother will go down to see who is doing the ghost in this mountain. If there is any situation, we will contact us with the nine-day special line. With that, I jumped over the high walls of the temple and searched for a voice.
It's a pity that I came to this fast feng shui treasure with a mission, but I couldn't find a beauty with the right eyes to spend the next month. What a pity!
I secretly sighed that compared to the nine days and thirty-three days, human beings are actually much happier. They have feelings, hopes, and dreams, while we only have a mission.
I can't just hit a lightning strike halfway up the mountain to go down to search, and if there are a few ordinary people inside, it won't be good. Causing unprovoked killings, it's not good to write a report when you go back, not to mention, in our True Heaven Realm, it is to enter the Nine Heavens Soul Altar and not see the light of day.
Think about it, the True Heaven Realm to every vast and boundless corner, that is only a matter of a few minutes, if you can't go anywhere, you immortal will not be depressed to death. However, you can't die.
I've seen many True Heavenly Realm heroes confined to the Soul Altar, and I don't want to experience that scene myself.
Come to think of it, what Yuyan said is also right! Why do you want to cultivate immortals, you don't want to enjoy the big fish and meat, but you have to go to the food and drink the dew .............
I don't know why I followed my master to cultivate immortals back then. But I remember that I seem to have taken the initiative to find someone, unlike the current little pot friend, she ignores you when you beg her.
Ay! The world is going down, and the gods are not easy to do. It's so hard to take an apprentice, and you have to take her.
I thought about it, and I came across a new holeβa brand new hole that had just been uncovered.
Looking at it like this, it must have been a few days of fighting, and the bushes at the entrance of the cave are already a little wilted.
There seemed to be quite a few people in the cave, and it was roughly estimated that there should be more than a dozen.
As they spoke, they carried out dirt. Wondering, why is there no mound of earth at the entrance of the cave?
I don't understand!
No, I'll have to find a way to go in and have a look.
At this moment, the cat jumped out of the hole.
- Huh! It's familiar!
It turned out to be her!
The Holy Spirit asked him to pretend that the ink painting was still at a low level of the Nine Heavens Immortal Cat! She often follows the Holy Spirit, and she should be able to use the Nine Heavens Divine Sound Line.
"Tmall, you stop for me." I called her.
This is our unified name for the Nine Heavens Ordinary Immortal Cat.
"Yo he! Are you the master of the Last Spirit? True God of War in the Heavenly Realm! The legendary Mr. Bao of the great gods, is that you? She asked me on the nine-day line.
When I saw her, I knew that the ink and rain had returned home safely.
"It's me." I said.
"Tmall, who's in this cave?" I asked her.
"Don't say it. It's a group of poor little ghosts, and I don't know where they heard who they came from, and they all say that there is a piece of Nine Heavens Chicken in this Chicken Coop Mountain, and if you get it, you can go to heaven by absorbing the aura of this chicken without the guidance of the Nine Heavens Soul Picker! I've been digging for a few days, and I haven't seen any gains from them. Just now, they were still yelling inside, saying that someone might have deceived them! Otherwise, we will have to open up the chicken coop mountain, why haven't I seen the chickens yet. Tmall told me.
"Oh. Tmall, according to your observations, what is the temperament of these imps? I asked Tmall.
She quickly rolled her sapphire eyes, tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering me, "Mr. Bao, I don't think they're bad people, but they don't look like good people. β
"You're all, they're not people at all, okay! What do you smell in the cave? "I gave her a little common sense for free, as a reward for the help she had given us before.
"Smell it carefully." I said.
"Oh! Look at my nose. Coming to this ghost place with Aunt Holy Spirit for a few years has caused a lot of spiritual energy. She said to me complainingly.
"If you don't say it, sir, I don't care at all! They weren't living creatures, and they had a sour smell. She sniffed and said to me.
"That's it, the abandoned baby that the underworld doesn't accept. The Holy Spirit is above, you go and call her down, and I will go in and see. I said to her.
She nodded, and jumped over the hole to the top of the mountain.
I don't really like the smell of the cave, and I don't want to have any chance encounters with people in the underworld! But I will stop them from destroying the earth of my spiritual field.
I pinched my nose and tiptoed into the hole.
There were a dozen blue phosphorus fires floating in the dust and smoke of gunpowder in the cave, and seven or eight strong men were loading earth into the dustpan in the explosives pit.
But when they had finished loading the earth, they did not send it out of the hole, and when they turned a corner, they disappeared.
They've made a hole, I guess, and it's not small.
Ay! Mortals are easy to handle, these dozen imps have to be sent away first, and they can't hurt their lives.
I sent a voice to the Holy Spirit in the Nine Heavens and said, "Holy Spirit, make some chickens crow, preferably into the cave." β
"I'll get a chicken." Tmall interjected.
"You know cockfighting, what else do you know? You can't just learn how to crow. The Holy Spirit said to Tmall.
"That's right! So why me? Can't it be you and Mr. Ya? Lynx said to the Holy Spirit.
Unexpectedly, Lynx and the Holy Spirit get along like this. It turns out that the Holy Spirit brought her to the mortal world for a reason. It's iron!
"Mr. Yu won't say anything. You asked me to learn how to crow, do you want the chickens in this city to fly eggs? Or do you want the Pleiades to apologize to the prefecture early tomorrow morning? If you are told to learn, you will learn quickly, there are so many words! Scare and scare a bunch of little ghosts, can you still use a knife? Don't delay, call twice. Hurry. The Holy Spirit urged her.
"I don't want to learn how a hen crows and be embarrassed. I'll go back and let them know later, don't laugh at me? Don't learn. "Lynx played tricks on the Holy Spirit.
"Who told you to learn how a hen crows? Learn the big to crow. Otherwise, you'll become a big rooster. Hurry up, if you don't want to be beaten, hurry up. Don't get down to business. The Holy Spirit was visibly impatient.
"Learn to learn. Eh! I haven't changed into a big yet! Change a good one, and go back and compare with the Pleiades. Hee-hee-hee! Playful. Playful. Lynx said to the Holy Spirit.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, I was amused and angry. This kid doesn't have any priorities. It's really love-hate at the same time.
"Wow! Oh - oh oh! ............ "The golden rooster cries in Jilong Mountain, and the sun rises in the east mountain."
"It's getting dawn, let's go." The imp leader said to the others.
"And what are they going to do?" One of the imps asked.
"Give them a few more hours of Ecstasy incense and let them dig it up." The imp leader said, and was about to leave.
I saw more than a dozen ghost fires coming out of the cave and floating in the direction of the Purple Mountain.
"Hey, hey, hey! They're gone. "I'm secretly glad.
Walking into the deep cave in the belly of Jilong Mountain, it seems that the problem I have to solve is about to come to an eyebrow.
In the innermost part of the cave, I saw seven or eight big men snorting, still working very hard. Their eyes glazed over, their muscles stiffened, and I put away the talisman so they could see my flesh. However, they turned a blind eye.
Yes, they have fallen for the evil magic of the Underworld.
I followed a nerd transporting earth and rock, and kept going inside, and finally understood why there was no earth and stone excavated at the entrance of the cave!
They are indeed clever.
On the Ming city wall at the foot of Jilong Mountain, they made a ventilation hole, and almost all the earth and stone were transported to the city wall.
Ay! It's been two days since I've been going back and forth on the walls, and I haven't discovered their secrets.
Knowing their exit, I went back to the cave.
This time, you have to take a good look, there are chickens in the depths of the belly of the chicken coop mountain they say, maybe there are real ones!
I see their stiff and slow movements and work progress, their underground projects like this, if they continue like this, it will definitely affect our search for a spiritual altar base.
So, I secretly gave them a little bit of strength.
Crackling, they turned on the acceleration of the rotation of the Black Lotus Lotus.
After a while, a faint and dazzling red light shot out from the dirt in front of him.
"Holy Spirit, don't look for it. Follow Tmall to the cave. "I call out to the Holy Spirit on a special line.
In a few seconds, the red light became much larger, and the color changed from red to blood red.
I know, I can't let them dig anymore. It's time for them to stop. Because they have fallen for the evil magic of ghosts and ghosts, if they continue to dig, they will inevitably destroy this chicken. Moreover, the evil qi on their bodies will also pollute the chickens.
I was about to stop them when the Holy Spirit and Lynx had already entered.
"Senior brother, stop them. Can't dig anymore. The Holy Spirit said to me.
"I see. It's easy to get them to stop, but I'm having a hard time with them! I said.
"Senior brother, I can't let them go back. They have been infected with corpse poison, and going back will only harm the Bai surname in the whole city. The Holy Spirit said to me.
"So what to do? You first give them a few Moon Palace Heavenly Broad Beans and let them sleep for a while. I said to the Holy Spirit.
"I'm going to call someone to pick them up." As soon as the Holy Spirit had stopped them, Lynx spoke to me and the Holy Spirit.
"Thank you, cat. These zombies don't have soul power, I guess the Asura Gan and some traitors from the Netherworld did it. You go and come back quickly. The Holy Spirit said to Tmall.
"Okay." As soon as Tmall finished answering, the person was gone.
"She's so fast? No wonder you take her with you everywhere. I said to the Holy Spirit.
"Senior brother has won the prize. There are some places you and I can't go, but they can. Therefore, when you were in retreat, I selected a few agile and spiritual powers from among the many Tmall teams to train them for future contingencies. What I didn't expect was that you and I were selected as the True Heaven Realm Soul Collectors for this year, so when I received the Nine Heavens Order, I didn't hesitate to bring them all here. But what I didn't expect was that they came to the mortal world and gave me a lot of surprises. The Holy Spirit explained to me.
"Okay. Hopefully she'll find a way to get the ghost. We'd better get the chickens in our hands before they come back. I said to the Holy Spirit.
"Okay, senior brother." The Holy Spirit answered me with his mouth, and his hands and feet were already moving.
I saw a blue flame erupt from her eyes, shooting at the earth and stone at the red weak light source, followed by a loud bang, and a pile of earth and stone rubble fell down.
A statue sits cross-legged on top of a black gallstone lotus flower, with a red official robe and a crown of pearls, looking like the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire. He made a Dao fingerprint on his left hand and a lotus fingerprint on his right hand, and a bloodstone the size of a delicate thumb on his chest was glowing blood-red.
The light crumbled under the rubble and filled the cavern, enveloping us all in blood-red light.
"Senior brother, can you take this? It seems to be the Houtu Emperor praying. The Holy Spirit looked at the statue of the Emperor of Houtu and said to me.
"Hahaha! I've finally waited for the new Soul Collector. Mr. Bao, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time....... β
I was dumbfounded, it turned out that all this was arranged by him in advance!
"I've been raising this baby for thousands of years, and I'll hand it over to you in the future. Mr. Bao, take it up. I hope it can help the Nine Heavens Soul Harvesting Cause. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the chicken flew towards me.
