Chapter 40: The Ferry
The peach trees were planted along the stream, and at this time they were full of peach blossoms, and the ground was full of peach petals blown off by the wind. The fragrance of peach blossoms wafted throughout the valley, and the fragrance surrounded the five people, Gong Ling and his party walked slowly along the stream, following their movements, and from time to time, peach petals fell and fell on their bodies.
Liu Yan walked all the way and followed the peach petals, and the braids on her head flicked one after another: "Rong Rong, do you think we can use these peach blossoms to dye our nails?" ”
"Yes, just mash it and use its juice to dye your nails and it will be beautiful." Zhang Rongrong also likes to dress herself up beautifully, and the two of them follow the peach petals all the way and go all the way forward.
The treasure map instructed them all the way west.
Their bracelet is very advanced now, after the first level, they have taken enough points, the bracelet has been filled with a lot of things, and the peach petals they are picking now can also be put into the bracelet. Along the way, they picked a lot of peach petals.
Zhang Rongrong teased Liu Yan: "If you pretend to be like this, the bracelet won't burst in the future." "With you and Brother Gong here, you strive to earn more points, so that the capacity of the bracelet will get bigger and bigger." Liu Yan was not worried.
"You belong to sit back and enjoy it, won't your conscience hurt?" Feng Hui interjected.
"I'm responsible for making you feel good, and I'll dress Rong Rong up beautifully, so that Brother Gong looks happy, this is my greatest credit." Liu Yan said openly.
Zhang Rongrong blushed all of a sudden, and was about to tear Liu Yan's mouth, and peeked at Gong Ling, hoping that he didn't hear Liu Yan's joke just now. But she didn't expect Gong Ling to look at her dotingly.
At the end of the valley is a large river that flows from north to south, and although the current is not particularly turbulent, it requires transportation to cross the river because the river is wide. If they want to go west, they must cross the river.
The five men searched around and saw a pole erected 200 meters from them, and a small plank of embankment had grown out of the river. It seems that there should be a place where the ship docks.
"Let's go there." Gong Ling pointed ahead and said.
When I got closer, it was indeed a place where boats were docked, but there were no boats at this time, and there was no shadow of a boat on the wide river.
In the distance are the mountains that stretch, and on both sides of the river are the whole patchwork of peach blossom trees, without a trace of miscellaneous trees. The green in the distance reflected the pink, white, and yellow in front of them, like a long picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of the five people. From the top of the mountain, a few wisps of fairy aura floated down. , which surrounds the peach blossom tree.
The five of them wanted to cross the river, but they had no choice but to wait for the boat here, and they sat on the ground and looked around.
"The peach trees here grow so well, they should be nourished by aura. You look at this wisp of fairy energy, as if you are watering the peach blossom and touching it. The aura here is really sufficient, and I feel refreshed. Is this the legendary divine realm? Only the abode of the gods would be so immortal. Feng Hui's little chatter has started again, click, click.
"The Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm are two places, don't get confused, the place with immortal energy may be the Divine Realm, or it may be the Immortal Realm!" Liu Yan explained.
"What is the difference between the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm?" Feng Hui continued to ask for popular science.
"The head of the divine realm is the Emperor of Heaven, he and all the gods live and work in the sky, and the palace where the Emperor lives is on the top floor, known as the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, also called the Heavenly Palace or Heavenly Court. The fairy world is actually the Buddha world, and there are three famous Buddhas in the Buddha-making world. They are the ancient Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present, and the Maitreya Buddha of the future. In ancient mythology, it is precisely because of the existence and sitting of the ancient Buddha that the Buddha has a place in the Six Realms, and the status and influence of the Buddha are getting bigger and bigger, so in the Six Realms, the lord of the Buddha is the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp. ”
While they were chatting, a boat suddenly appeared in the distance, and an old man slowly approached them in a boat.
The hull of the ship is not large, it can accommodate about ten people, and when the ship gets closer, it is found that the bottom of the ship is green and cannot be seen.
The five were taken aback.
The old man who was holding the boat had a long white beard, wore a linen coat, and wore a hat, his face was quite kind, and he smiled amiably, and he spoke quite politely: "Do the guest officers need to cross the river?" ”
"Excuse me, uncle, where is the other side of the river?" Gong Ling asked politely.
Several guest officers looked at the eyes, and the old decay has been here for tens of thousands of years. I don't think I've ever seen you before, but where are you from? Where do you want to go? ”
"We've come from where we came from, and we're going west." "Hehehehehe, okay, if you want to go to the west, you have to take an old boat, but you go, the other side of the river is the Demon Realm, if you want to go to the West, you have to go through the territory of the Demon Realm to reach the west."
"Does the Demon Realm welcome outsiders to enter?" "Welcome, welcome, as long as there is money, everyone in the Demon Realm is welcome to play."
"Uh, what kind of money?"
"If you don't have money from the Demon Realm for the first time, it doesn't matter, you can exchange the things on your body, it's really not good, you still have hands and feet, and when you get to the Demon Realm, you can naturally exchange it for money." The old man replied with a grin.
"Then how much do you think we can exchange this knife for?"
"This knife is very good and sharp, it's a good thing. In this case, I will take you across the river first, and when you get to the Demon Realm, you can exchange this knife for money, and then pay me the boat fare, what do you think? "Yes, then it will be troublesome for the old man."
"Don't bother, this is Lao Yuan's job, and Lao Yu has been doing it for 10,000 years." The old man pinched his white beard and said slowly with a smile: "Then the guest officers, please come on board." ”
This stumped Gong Ling, their ship looks quite big, but there is no bottom, how can they get on the ship?
The old man saw their concerns. Said slowly: "You are mortals, you can't see the bottom of the boat, you will not fall down if you come up directly, don't worry." ”
The five people listened to the old man's words, and slowly and carefully got on the boat, if it really seemed to be a bottomless boat, it was actually a solid one, and the green color may just be a trick to obstruct the eyes. After the five of them sat down on the boat, they began to ask the old man about the things of the God Realm and the Demon Realm.
There was a big battle between the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm 30,000 years ago, when the prince of the Divine Realm was the god of war. And the Demon Realm turned out to be at peace with the Divine Realm, and they had suffered for millions of years, but this year's Demon Lord, he wanted to occupy more territory and enjoy more resources, and he didn't want to live in a cold and dark place all the time, so they began to challenge the Heavenly Divine Realm.
But after so many years of Taoguang cultivation in the god world, their combat power is very strong, especially their prince, when he was born, he was born with auspicious birds and a hundred birds, that is a son of God, it is said that he has been proficient in all kinds of martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is infinite, and at the same time his wisdom is unparalleled, and he is a rare god of war with foresight, and his prestige in the god world is very high.
It stands to reason that the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm can't beat the prince of other people, but this Demon Lord doesn't know where to get a few treasures, these treasures can change into the shape of tens of millions of ancient beasts or change into tens of millions of ancient artifacts, so he did not fall behind in the battle with the prince of the God Realm.
It was because of this that they fought back and forth many times, and in the end the two sides paid a heavy price, and the prince of the god realm finally sealed the demon lord of the demon realm full of ambition and cruelty in the Ice Spring Mountain, and the prince of the god realm also dispersed the power of his whole body, and now he can't sleep, and it has been 30,000 years now.
It is said that the prince of the god realm is also extraordinary, and the god monarch has thought of many ways to wake him up, including using the soul lamp, seizing the house, etc., but none of them worked, and he also heard that he could find seven hundred and forty-nine beauties, with the help of the deep sea dragon clan, pick the most precious pearls, with the blood condensation grass of the Tianshan Mountain, and the tears of the god of flowers together to make the most beautiful fairy dew pill in the world for him, in order to wake him up, but so far the prince has fallen asleep, and the god monarch in the sky is about to turn white for this.
I heard that 30,000 years is the last date, and if 30,000 years still can't find a way to wake up the prince, then the prince will be wiped out. Therefore, Shenjun also thought that if the prince would fly away, then at least the prince's bloodline should be left, but unfortunately he died in a deep sleep and could not leave his bloodline. This is also a matter of particular annoyance to the current divine realm.
"And what's going on in the Demon Realm now?"
The demon world has been a lot more stable since the demon lord was sealed, and now it is the son of the demon lord to temporarily take the position of the demon lord, but the son of the demon lord is still young, only 6000 years old, he has two generals before, as an auxiliary minister to help manage the demon world, the demon world can only be arrogant on their own territory now, they still like mortals very much, after the old man finished speaking, his eyes were shining, and he glanced at the five of them, and the five of them were terrified.
After hearing this story, Gong Ling had doubts in his heart. The dream he had in the school before should be the big battle that the old man said, when he was a bystander, he witnessed the battle between the prince of the god realm and the demon lord.
At the same time, he also saw the process of the prince later self-destructing himself and turning into a ten thousand dao figures and sealing the demon lord. Although he couldn't see the prince's face clearly, he knew that the god-like man was glowing all over his body, and he should be the prince of the divine realm.
The Demon Lord was sealed in a small tower at that time, if it was really as the old man said, the Prince of the God Realm was wiped out, then the Demon Lord should be about to come out of the tower, and the entire God Realm and the Demon Realm would start a new round of competition.
