Chapter 133: Truth and Illusion (II)
Chen Mengsheng smacked his tongue and said: "Master, now that there are few wars in Taiping today, there is still demonic spirit? The master knows what kind of demon is making trouble here, and when the apprentice is going to exterminate him! ”
The red sperm shook his head and twisted his beard and said, "Hahahaha, the demon is just a baby who is ready to move and has not yet had the ability to fight the monk." You don't want to add to the trouble, that Bao'en Temple, formerly known as the North Pagoda Temple, was built by the overlord Sun Quan for his mother, after several wars, the North Tower was burned and the city was flooded for many years. Later, a high-ranking monk traveled here and covered a seven-foot carp with a golden bowl, and rebuilt the eight-sided nine-level north tower to suppress the water demon. These are all things that happened after you pressed the seal, and the teacher once watched the sky at night but found that there was a bad luck here, so he came here to live in seclusion. There has been nothing abnormal in the past 20 years, but in the past two years, there have often been resentments in the southwest but I don't know what to do? Chen Mengsheng immediately understood Changqingzi's intention to come to Suzhou......
"Master, when the apprentice was fighting with the demon and evil people, he inadvertently obtained the longevity recipe that Changqingzi was looking for. The apprentice guessed that this thing must have something to do with the demonic spirit that the master said! Chen Mengsheng took out the half of the green pill from his pocket and handed it to the red sperm respectfully.
The red sperm frowned, looked at it for a while, and laughed: "It turned out to be a jade cabbage, and I don't know how many people died in vain for this thing back then!" ”
"What dish? The master is well-informed, how could he die just for this dish? Chen Mengsheng scratched his head and said.
The red sperm cried and laughed and said: "You only know how to be naughty all day long in the mountains, where can you calm down and read the different aspirations of all over the world!" Jade cabbage is not a dish, but a national sacred relic in the ancient Dian Kingdom thousands of years ago. According to legend, there is a filial son surnamed Yu who saw his mother's illness and was in danger, and burned incense day and night to pray that he finally moved the heavens. An immortal official dreamed that he asked him to go to Cangshan to ask Hongjiao to give alms to jade cabbage to save his mother, and Yu Xiaozi went through hardships in Cangshan to find the red dragon. Hongjiao saw that his filial piety was commendable, so he promised him to jump into the deep pool to get jade cabbage, Yu Xiaozi saw a half-human-high emerald artifact at the bottom of the pool, he only took a small piece and went back to save his mother, cough cough cough ...... "Red sperm has been like an old man since he abandoned Taoism, and coughing from time to time makes him panting like a cow."
Shangguan Yanran saw the red sperm coughing and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "I have also heard what Uncle Shi said in Cangshan, Yu Xiaozi picked a piece of jade cabbage under the water, and the jade cabbage melted like water when it left the roots, and Yu's mother knew that it was a divine thing from heaven and did not dare to eat it alone, so she only tasted half a small piece." The remaining jade cabbage was offered at home, and after a short time, the king of ancient Dian was seriously ill, and his mother ordered his son to enter the palace to offer treasure to save the king. After the king recovered from his illness, he thanked Yu's mother and son heavily, but the matter of Shentan Hongjiao guarding the jade cabbage made people know. ”
Chen Mengsheng exclaimed: "Then someone is inevitably greedy!" ”
Shangguan Yanran said regretfully: "That's true, just as Senior Brother said. Some people also pretend to be filial sons to beg the red Jiao to go down to the pool, the red Jiao is the son of the dragon and the snake by nature, and it is really a pearl to let it guard the treasure. The red dragon also let the wicked man go down to the pool, but he didn't expect the wicked man to dig out the jade cabbage by the roots, and the ancient Dian Kingdom shook the mountains in an instant. Only then did the red dragon know that it had broken through the catastrophe and tore the wicked man in half in the pool. However, the jade cabbage died when it was left the root, and the red dragon claws only caught a piece of jade cabbage, and the whole jade cabbage fell into the ground. There was a major earthquake in the landslide and ground crack in the ancient Dian Kingdom, and thousands of people were killed because of the mistake of the red dragon. The resentment that rushed to the sky soared into the sky, and they all resented the red dragon. The red dragon was annihilated by the immortal officials, and the ancient Dian Kingdom was annihilated by ice and snow......"
Shangguan Yanran's words relieved Chen Mengsheng of the long insect skeleton he saw at the bottom of the Black Dragon Spring, and his blind stumbling to get the jade cabbage finally turned the poison on Kui Jiulong's body. The long worm was attracted by the jade cabbage but couldn't open the thousand-year-old Xuan Bing, and the ghostly corpse poison could dissolve the Xuan Ice but made the long worm seriously injured. A drink and a peck are not predetermined!
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough ......, Yin Hong, come here, I have something for you! The red sperm slumped over to the bed, turned over the plank, and took out a wooden box wrapped in a black cloth.
Chen Mengsheng heard the master shouting in a deep voice: "Yin Hong! You get on your knees! Chen Mengsheng knelt on the ground without thinking much when he heard this, and the red sperm untied the black cloth and opened the wooden box.
Chen Mengsheng shouted loudly: "Judge pen! Book of Life and Death! Master, you...... Where did you come from? ”
"Shut up! Back then, it was your teacher who recommended you to go to the Nether to be a judge in the yang world, and you finally returned to the immortal class after making meritorious contributions in the yang world. In the end, these things were handed over to the teacher, and I hope you can remember the hardships you experienced in the fall of the yang world for a long time. But you moved your heart and took the Qionghua Fairy to the lower realm privately, alas! The red sperm sighed, looked at Shangguan Yanran and then at Chen Mengsheng.
Chen Mengsheng knelt down and said: "Master, the apprentice is cautious in his words and deeds in the world, but there is no way for God, forcing me to be separated from my junior sister for a thousand years. The master expelled the disciple from the sect, and the disciple was ruined by the four brothers of Nantianmen, and his cultivation became ......"
"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ......, Heavenly Court has its own rules of Heavenly Court. You break your vows and make mistakes and you don't know how to repent, and your anger is like a steel dove poisoning you and acting recklessly! The wicked person you killed should have been punished by the Netherworld, do you still want the heavenly court to punish him heavily? Red sperm asked.
Chen Mengsheng was silent, seeing that the master would rather abandon his Taoism in order to save himself. The various injustices he suffered were no longer important, Chen Mengsheng kowtowed and bowed: "The apprentice never expected to be able to reunite with the master and sister after a thousand years, and since the seal was broken, the apprentice has indeed been dissatisfied in his heart. The master's teachings are remembered by the apprentices, but can the apprentices still be in charge of the duties of judgment? ”
Red sperm Zhengse said: "What are you learning the Taoist technique in Taihua Mountain for? ”
"The master said that you should have a clear conscience in life and behavior, and the disciple never dares to forget! Heavenly Court has already withdrawn the disciple's position of judgment in the world, if the disciple uses the Book of Life and Death again, Heavenly Court will inevitably investigate the master's crimes! Chen Mengsheng said worriedly.
The red sperm laughed and said: "Yin Hong, you can let it go, as a teacher, the oil is now exhausted." It won't be long before the deadline comes, and it is fate that you and I can reunite. I'll go back to Taihua Mountain right away, and I'll leave the matter to you here." As a teacher, there are two more sentences to send you, you can't be embarrassed when you encounter problems, and you should help when you are weak. Don't be greedy for ten thousand taels of gold, avoid the sky and do good deeds. ”
Chen Mengsheng said in a trembling voice: "How can the master ...... Master, if you are not within the Three Realms, how can you be subject to the Great Limit? Could it be that the master was seriously injured? ”
"Ahem, ahem...... You are so good, do what you have to do, and when you have a place in the earthly world, the heavenly court will have some scruples about you. The cultivator has realized life and death, and his wish to see you break the seal and become a teacher has also come to an end. If you come to the East China Sea to find me after you become famous in the future, if you do nothing, I will not see you! Go ahead! After the red sperm finished speaking, he put the wooden box in front of Chen Mengsheng, but he floated out of the low house. Chen Mengsheng looked up and clearly saw the red sperm faintly flashing with tears, and made a nine bows to the red sperm......
Shangguan Yanran said in a hurry: "Senior brother, senior brother! What's wrong with you? Chen Mengsheng knelt on the muddy ground and saw Shangguan Yanran pulling himself up, Chen Mengsheng looked around in a daze, except for the iron-locked gate, there were several low walls, where was the shadow of the teacher's red sperm?
"Yanran, where is my master?" Chen Mengsheng asked blankly.
Shangguan Yanran touched Chen Mengsheng's face in a daze, and asked with concern, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Just now I saw you suddenly kneeling on the ground and kowtowing more than enough to pull you, you said you saw Uncle Shi? ”
"That's not right! Surely that's not right? My master is here! Didn't you talk to his old man too? Yanran, you really haven't seen my master? Something isn't quite right, what happened to me just now? Chen Mengsheng asked seriously.
Shangguan Yanran was a little confused by him and blurted out, "Mengsheng, what's wrong with you?" You were standing there just now, and all of a sudden you fell to your knees! ”
Chen Mengsheng got up, and in Shangguan Yanran's surprised eyes, he pulled the door lock with both hands and pushed the wooden door open. The furnishings in the low room were exactly the same as the furnishings that Chen Mengsheng had just seen, except for a shabby bed, there were only a few pieces of clothing in the room. Shangguan Yanran followed Chen Mengsheng into the house and said softly: "Senior brother, trespassing on a private house is a serious crime!" ”
Chen Mengsheng said embarrassedly: "I don't know if what happened just now is true or not, so I have to make a decision to verify it." If there is a wooden box wrapped in black cloth under the bed, then I will understand what is going on, and if not, then I will make amends to the owner of the house! Shangguan Yanran listened to what Chen Mengsheng said seriously, and was silent, Chen Mengsheng stepped forward in two steps and turned over the bed board, and sure enough, he saw a black cloth package......
Chen Mengsheng opened the wooden box inside with the black cloth package, and Shangguan Yanran cried with joy: "Senior brother...... Senior brother, this is your judge's pen and the book of life and death! Tell me what's going on here, what did Uncle Shi tell you? "The Book of Life and Death's Judge's Pen is a gift from Yan Jun, and it has been a thousand years since I said goodbye......
Chen Mengsheng waited in the room for a while and suddenly said: "The master has already returned to Taihua Mountain, it turns out that after I was sealed, the master came to the world just to save me." But the pagoda mountain was done by the heavenly court, and the master abandoned the Tao and lived in seclusion. ”
Shangguan Yanran blinked a few times, her big eyes were sad, and she said sadly: "Uncle Shi must still be angry with me, if it weren't for me back then, you wouldn't have been punished by Heavenly Court." ”
Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said, "The master doesn't blame you, it's just ...... It's just to tell you that when I broke the seal, I met Hongluan Star and met Tianxi......"
Chen Mengsheng told Shangguan Yanran everything he had just experienced, and after listening to Chen Mengsheng's whispering experience. Shangguan Yanran smiled shyly: "Senior brother, it is also a miracle that you and I are reunited after a thousand years. What else can stop us? Uncle Shi secretly gave you the pen of the judge of the book of life and death, I think I want you to continue to be your judge in the yang world! Use your ways to make a difference in the world! ”
