Chapter 1 The world of "Journey to the West" is coming
"Boom~"
In the sky, the thunder was like a burst.
The clouds are tumbling, reflecting a dazzling glow of various colors, making the whole sky look extraordinarily psychedelic.
If this is not a thunderstorm, it will be the most beautiful scenery in the world, better than a fairy scene.
Seeing that the thunder light was about to fall, Gu Ming subconsciously looked sideways at the third girl standing on the top of the peak in the distance, and then looked up to the sky with pride and smiled: "Hahaha, good!" Very good! ”
It's a joy that comes from within!
This is also a belief that is born out of spontaneous nature!
Survive this thunderstorm, and you will usher in a new life!
A faint ray of golden light poured out from his body, forming a protective shield.
"Crackle!"
The first thunderbolt finally fell.
Its power far exceeded Gu Ming's imagination.
It was just the first thunder, and it actually ignored the golden light of his protective body, and the electricity made his limbs twitch, his eyes blackened, and his whole body smoking......
The hair is gone.
Clothes also turned to ashes.
Fortunately, Snake Ji, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing are far away, otherwise it will be too big.
However, this thunder also inspired Gu Ming's unyielding belief even more, after all, they have come to this point, and there is no reason to lie down at the last moment.
So the thought moved, Biluo held it in his hand, and while waving it in the air, he sang loudly:
"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son.
Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son.
Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son.
Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son. ”
Large characters glowing with golden light float above their heads and around their bodies.
In the light, there seems to be a war horse, and there seems to be a golden iron roar.
"Crackle!"
A second bolt of lightning fell.
This time, it was a black bolt of lightning as thick as an arm.
"Boom!"
The thunder and lightning fell, causing a huge roar, and the mountains trembled.
Even Snake Ji, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing, who were miles away, changed their faces and subconsciously took a few steps back.
However, Gu Ming was safe and sound this time.
"Good, very good! Again! ”
"Crackle!"
Another red bolt of lightning fell.
This time, the thunder and lightning were almost the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and the blood-like color made it even more terrifying.
"Boom ......"
For a time, the sky and the earth changed color, and the ice and snow danced wildly.
The movement was so loud that it caused an avalanche in the nearby snow-capped mountains, and the rumbling sound was incessant, as if the world was about to collapse.
"Oh my God, such a big movement, Gu Gongzi ...... Will he be able to resist it? ”
Xiaoqing also began to worry.
"It's okay, it's going to be fine."
Snake Ji replied with a pale face.
At least, she could feel that it was okay now, and if Gu Ming had something, she would definitely feel something.
When the ice and snow in the sky slowly dissipated, the third girl once again saw the golden light enveloping Gu Ming.
Although the golden light faded a little, fortunately it did not disintegrate.
"Huh? Gu Gongzi ...... It seems like...... Ahem......"
Xiaoqing rarely became a little shy.
Although it is not very real, it can still be distinguished whether Gu Ming is wearing clothes or not.
Snake Ji was calm and explained: "There is no way, under such a powerful lightning strike, ordinary clothes will turn into ashes in an instant.
And in this kind of scene, it is not suitable to use true qi to transform clothes, it will only waste true qi. ”
"Okay!"
Xiaoqing nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Crackle~"
The third thunderbolt fell again.
Then came the fourth and fifth......
Each thunder has a different color, and the power is greater and greater each time.
The sixth thunderbolt completely destroyed the golden light shield that Gu Ming had laid before, and at the same time almost slashed Gu Ming to death.
However, taking such a beating made his spirit even more vigorous.
Uh-huh, spelled!
Gu Ming clenched his teeth, his whole body strength poured out, and he wrote down the Confucian nine-character mantra in one breath: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and piety.
Next, there is the seventh and eighth paths......
And the last thunderstorm!
Gu Ming raised his eyes and looked at the sky......
Nine-colored thunder tribulation, so far he has experienced white, black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and blue, only purple thunder and lightning have not yet appeared.
Although it was the last course, Gu Ming didn't dare to take it lightly.
According to previous experience, the power of thunder and lightning is as strong as one, and this last one must be even more powerful.
Gu Ming held Biluo tightly, trying to mobilize all his strength to prepare for the final blow.
In fact, at this time, he was already scarred, although he was protected by the nine-character mantra, but the aftermath of the thunder and lightning still made him bruised all over his body, like a tree scorched black by thunder and lightning.
What supports him is all with a breath and an obsession.
This time, the thunder and lightning seemed to be brewing for a longer time, as if it was deliberately draining Gu Ming's patience and energy.
I don't know how long I waited, but finally, a huge thunderbolt poured down......
"Oh my God, that's an exaggeration!"
Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim.
This thunderbolt was indeed purple, at least the thickness of a large round table, and it meandered down in the air, like an ancient dragon, and its power was quite amazing.
Gu Ming had already prepared, and this time he chose to take the initiative!
"Here comes the sword!"
"Slash!"
With a loud shout that resounded through the sky, a huge sword shadow appeared out of thin air, sweeping the wind, the ice and snow in the sky, and slashed towards the thunder and lightning.
The nine-character mantra was protected around Gu Ming, and they leaped towards the sky together.
"Boom~"
Heaven and earth change color in an instant.
The top of the snow peak that Gu Ming had stood before also collapsed under the impact of this huge force.
The flying rubble in the sky even flew over the mountain peak where Bai Suzhen's three daughters were, mixed with the ice and snow in the sky.
"This ......"
Xiaoqing swallowed her saliva hard, and subconsciously glanced at the snake queen.
Fortunately, although Snake Ji's face looked pale, she was still standing, which meant that Gu Ming was ...... Alive.
"Finally...... It's over! ”
Bai Suzhen muttered with relief on her face.
According to her thoughts, this ninth thunderstorm should also be the last.
At the same time, Gu Ming was lying in the rubble covered in injuries, and he opened his eyes tiredly to watch the smoke and dust slowly dissipate in the sky.
"Finally ......"
After surviving the last thunder, Gu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the bones of the whole body seemed to be scattered, and the flesh and blood on the body became charred black, he finally survived this life and death catastrophe.
Well, if you have an injury, it's good to take care of it for a while.
Unexpected......
"What?"
"This ...... What's going on? ”
"Isn't it nine thunders? How can there be ......?"
Snake Ji, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing watched as the nine-colored clouds in the sky did not disperse, and a new round of thunder and lightning began to brew again, and they couldn't help but lose their faces one by one.
"Lying ......"
Gu Ming, who was lying on the ground, widened his eyes and couldn't help but start scolding Liang.
Thief, are you cheating?
The Nine Thunder ...... However, no one seems to have said that the nine-colored tribulation thunder must be the nine thunders?
The problem is that he is now covered in bruises, and it is difficult to move, how can he resist this tenth thunder?
According to the previous law, I don't know how powerful this tenth thunder will be?
Gu Ming's thoughts were still spinning, and the tenth thunder had already begun to tear through the clouds, and it was about to fall......
"Oh my God, this ...... This tenth thunder actually fell at the same time as the previous nine thunders? ”
Seeing nine thunderbolts of different colors appear at the same time, Xiao Qing's voice changed in fright.
Who can resist this?
"It's over...... I didn't expect this nine-color thunderstorm to be so terrifying! ”
Snake Ji looked desperate.
"What to do? What to do? Gu Gongzi ......"
Bai Suzhen looked anxious.
"Suzhen, there's no way we can help him. If we had gone in the past, the power of thunder and lightning would have increased.
Not only will it not save Childe, but it will put him in a more dangerous situation. ”
"However, these nine-colored thunders fell together......"
"Leave it to fate!"
Snake Ji closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to look at this moment.
"Boom~"
This time, the speed of the thunder and lightning fell quite fast, Gu Ming just struggled to get up, and before he could take precautions, the whole person was already overwhelmed by the thunder and lightning.
"Childe!"
Bai Suzhen couldn't help but shout sadly.
Rolling hot tears ran down her cheeks.
"Sister, woo woo woo ......"
This time, even Xiaoqing revealed her true feelings, and couldn't help but fall on Bai Suzhen's shoulder and whimper.
"Wait, Childe...... Seems to be fine? ”
Snake Ji suddenly drank in surprise.
"Huh? Is that...... What's the situation? ”
This time the situation was indeed quite weird, nine thunderbolts fell together, but there was no earth-shattering movement as imagined, but converged into a large cloud of dazzling light, as if a cloud of nine-colored clouds held Gu Ming into the air.
At this time, Gu Ming felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and he couldn't say how comfortable he was.
A mysterious power soaked into his body, and his ears seemed to be swirling with a wonderful fairy sound that he had never experienced.
Scenes from the past......
The past and present lives are endless.
"Huh? The guy seems to be absorbing ...... The power of the Nine-Colored Thunder Tribulation? ”
Xiaoqing suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Strange, those clouds and mist seem to have really been absorbed by Childe?"
Snake Ji looked surprised.
Bai Suzhen then muttered, "Nine-colored Tribulation Thunder...... It's really amazing, it can be reborn after breaking and standing......"
At this moment, Bai Suzhen seemed to be touched and had a sense of epiphany.
Time passes slowly.
An hour.
Two Hours......
One day.
Two days.
It wasn't until the third day that the clouds and mist surrounding Gu Ming finally completely dissipated, but Gu Ming's body was still suspended in mid-air.
It took a long time before there was a slow movement.
At this time, Gu Ming was no longer the miserable image that was scorched black at the beginning.
Hair, eyebrows...... In short, the hair on the body has grown.
The skin all over the body was smooth, and there was not a single wound or scar to be found.
However, now is not the time for self-appreciation, Gu Ming took out a set of clothes and put them on, and then looked at it......
Although the distance was far away, he could still see the appearance of Bai Suzhen and the three of them, and even their worried expressions, including their hair, could be seen clearly.
And before the catastrophe, he could only see the figure of the three daughters.
"Hahaha, okay, it's all over!"
Gu Ming was overjoyed, and hearty laughter echoed in the sky.
Then he lifted his leg and took a step...... In one step, he actually jumped the distance of two peaks, and stood in front of the third girl in an instant.
"Congratulations Childe! Congratulations to the child! ”
Snake Ji came back to her senses and congratulated her with a happy face.
"Congratulations Childe!"
Bai Suzhen also congratulated from the bottom of her heart.
"Ahem, what's that...... Both of them congratulated, wouldn't this girl look childish if she didn't congratulate? ”
Xiaoqing arched her hand with a reluctant look.
"Hahaha, okay, let's go back!"
Gu Ming waved his hand, and he was full of spirit that he had never had.
After all, from now on, he is no longer human in a sense...... Well, he is no longer a mortal, and has officially entered the realm of the Red Dust Immortal.
It's a truly gorgeous metamorphosis.
After going back, the family was naturally happy and raised a glass to celebrate.
However, it is quite low-key to the outside world, and the subordinates in the mansion do not know about Gu Ming's breakthrough.
Next, Gu Ming began to draw the "Journey to the West" comic series.
The story begins with the birth of the Monkey King, and then to apprenticeship, treasure hunting in the Dragon Palace, and havoc in the Heavenly Palace......
Fifteen volumes of comics are planned to be released in serialized installments.
At the same time, Gu Ming also had to go to the academy from time to time to give lectures, go to the palace to give lectures, and guide Nie Xiaoqian, Yu'er, Bai Suzhen, Snake Ji, Xiaoqing and others to cultivate.
Among them, the fastest progress is none other than Bai Suzhen.
Before, her realm was slightly weaker than that of Snake Ji, but the last time she witnessed Gu Ming's tribulation in Kunlun Snow Mountain, she had an epiphany, and after she went back, she entered the magic weapon space and retreated for three months.
When he left the customs, he had already cultivated the golden pill.
This also means that she is about to achieve the right result, and once she successfully survives the Heavenly Tribulation, she will be reborn as a fairy.
But strangely, she never sensed the catastrophe coming.
Not having experienced the baptism of the heavenly tribulation means that she has not taken the last step, which makes Bai Suzhen puzzled, and her faith inevitably began to waver a little......
Night.
The moonlight is shining.
On the roof, Bai Suzhen looked up at the night sky slightly, a silky green silk like a waterfall swayed with the breeze, and there was a confused light in her eyes.
What went wrong?
Why can't I sense the catastrophe?
If she doesn't experience the catastrophe, then she is still a demon.
Could it be that the time for cultivation is not enough?
"White girl, are you thinking about something?"
Suddenly, a voice came to my ears.
"Childe, I'm ......"
Bai Suzhen turned her head sideways to look at Gu Ming, and then sighed faintly.
Gu Ming sat beside her and said softly, "Is it for the sake of the Heavenly Tribulation?" ”
"Well, I don't know why, I haven't felt it at all after so long."
"White girl, it's useless for you to be anxious about this kind of thing, let it be, maybe the opportunity has not yet arrived.
If you are distracted, it will be quite detrimental to your passage at that time. ”
"I know, it's just...... It's just that I'm a little worried about whether I can sense the catastrophe in this world. After all, this is not the world I have cultivated since I was a child......"
Gu Ming was stunned, and then smiled: "I don't think it should be this problem, although the two worlds are different, their essence is the same."
It is nothing more than the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and there can be no big difference in the laws of man.
The reason why you have not sensed the arrival of the Apocalypse is that I think there are two possibilities......"
"Oh?" Bai Suzhen's eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly: "Please also ask the son for advice." ”
"First, maybe you were a little anxious, so that your mind was a little confused, which led to the postponement of the catastrophe.
Second, it may also be that the opportunity has not yet arrived, after all, your body is a white snake, and compared to a human monk, the process of cultivating to achieve positive results must be more tortuous. ”
This truth doesn't need Gu Ming to explain too much, and Bai Suzhen understands it.
Indeed, the demon's cultivation path is quite bumpy, and there are very few people who can finally achieve positive results.
Generally speaking, there are many dilemmas that demon cultivators have to face, and they are much more cruel.
Comparatively speaking, human cultivation is much easier.
This is not that the Heavenly Dao is unfair, on the contrary, the Heavenly Dao is still relatively fair to a certain extent.
Demons are born with much more power than humans.
Moreover, demons have a long lifespan, and they can generally live for hundreds of years, while the vast majority of humans only have a few decades.
In ancient times, it was a world of immortals, demons, and demons, but human beings hid in caves like ants, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to survive.
It wasn't until later that they slowly figured out the method of cultivation that human beings finally had a foothold and the strength to fight against demons.
But even so, to this day, human beings still talk about demon changes.
After all, ordinary people have no power to resist in the face of a demon, even the weakest demon.
After Gu Ming's enlightenment, Bai Suzhen's mood was also a little relaxed.
Indeed, she was in a hurry.
In fact, it was mainly because of the influence of Gu Ming's tragedy, which gave her an urgent hope.
"Actually, Miss Bai, I understand some of your psychological ......"
"Oh? Childe, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"I think maybe you still care a little bit about who you are.
No matter how penanced you are, how you do good deeds and accumulate virtues, you are still a demon in the eyes of the world.
So, you can't get past this in your heart.
To be precise, you don't care about who you are, you care about who others care about you......"
"This ......"
Bai Suzhen frowned, with a thoughtful expression.
Actually, you don't have to think about that.
Other people's opinions don't matter to you at all, and if you care, it means that your cultivation has not reached the state of perfection.
This may be the reason why you have not sensed the Heavenly Tribulation for a long time.
Your state of mind has reached a critical point, but there is still a hurdle left in your state of mind that has not been overcome.
In fact, when Xiao Qian just learned her true identity and learned that she was a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan, she was also very confused.
This is completely understandable, after all, she has grown up as a human since she was a child.
One day, I suddenly realize that I am not a pure human being, and it is normal for me to find it difficult to accept it for a while.
But she didn't care about it now, whether it was a human or a fox, it was just a form.
And cultivation, the main cultivation is a Dao heart.
Many of the ancient saints were not human, but they were still worshiped and feared by the people......"
"Thank you, Childe!"
The haze in Bai Suzhen's heart began to slowly dissipate, and she sincerely thanked Gu Ming.
Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Bai Girl, you don't have to be polite, there is absolutely no problem with your talent to achieve positive results, what you lack is nothing more than a chance." ”
"Then inherit the son's auspicious words!"
Bai Suzhen also smiled.
After this conversation, the knot in her heart has slowly untied.
She finally figured it out, everything is fixed, and she can't force it. As Gu Ming said, cultivation sometimes pays attention to chance.
Just like in life, there are many destined fates.
……
Before I knew it, another two years had passed.
During this period, Gu Ming went to the world of "Qin Shi Mingyue" twice.
Although it costs 1,000 points every time he goes, with Gu Ming's current strength, it is not difficult to earn points.
He has almost mastered the mechanism techniques of the Mo family and the public loser, and has made a lot of exquisite mechanisms.
In the next step, he will slowly transform the academy to become semi-mechanized.
For example, the mechanism is used to divert water from the mountain, and then the water is discharged with a bamboo pipe to realize tap water, flushing toilets and other facilities.
There are also automatic trap ladders, manned flight trap birds, and so on.
As for the Qin Shi Mingyue world, under the plan he proposed, the technology of papermaking has begun to mature slowly, and the printing technology has also begun to bear fruit, and there are already paper books in the palace.
In terms of governing the country, Fusu also adopted many of Gu Ming's suggestions and gradually implemented them.
For example, envoys were sent to visit the countries of the Western Regions to exchange materials, culture and craftsmanship on both sides.
As a result, the Great Qin Dynasty entered a thriving scene......
At the same time, Gu Ming ushered in another surprise news.
This night, after the husband and wife lingered for a while, Nie Xiaoqian snuggled in Gu Ming's arms with a happy face and whispered, "Husband, tell you a good news." ”
"Oh? Have you broken through again? ”
Gu Ming asked subconsciously.
"Not this ......"
"Not? What is that? ”
"Guess what!"
Nie Xiaoqian was rarely coquettish.
Gu Ming blinked, carefully looked at his wife's slightly proud expression, and his heart suddenly moved......
"Could it be...... Do you have it? ”
"Mmmm, it's still the husband who is smart!"
Nie Xiaoqian subconsciously touched her little belly and nodded.
"Great!"
Gu Ming couldn't help but hug his wife tightly, and his hand also reached down and rubbed gently.
"Maybe, Yu'er is happier than us." Nie Xiaoqian smiled.
"Hah, too...... Speaking of which, you have never conceived a child, and Yu'er is under more pressure than you. ”
Gu Ming said with emotion.
"Well, although Yu'er also married into the door, she has always been grateful.
She gave birth to Chen'er before me, and I have always felt pressure in my heart for fear that I will not be happy.
I have persuaded her many times, and she always responds, but the pressure in my heart has always been there, and I am under pressure......"
When she said this, Nie Xiaoqian sighed helplessly.
Gu Ming said with a little amusement: "So sometimes you women's minds really don't understand, in fact, I really don't care, after all, we are not ordinary people, we have a life far beyond ordinary people." ”
"Having said that, after all, Yu'er and I are both transitioning from ordinary people, and some concepts will be difficult to change for a while."
"That's right, you two don't need to deliberately change, just let it be......"
……
With the passage of time, the popularity of Journey to the West has not decreased, but its popularity has become more and more popular.
The most important reason is still due to the promotion of various folk artists.
For example, scholars, operas, shadow puppets, and so on.
Moreover, the image of the four masters and apprentices, especially the Monkey King, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
From the capital to the countryside, you can see Monkey King's sugar figures, clay figures, or masks.
And at this time, the world of Journey to the West finally arrived.
The way of advent is the same as the last "Qin Shi Mingyue", the entrance to the world is located in the depths of Kunlun Mountain.
However, this time, the conditions are much more relaxed, first, there is no restriction on carrying props, and second, the host is allowed to bring one person to enter the Journey to the West world......
