Chapter 19: The Mysterious Pangolin
Three deep cave passages lead to three directions, and the little pangolin has mysteriously disappeared many times, if it is not that this little guy has any special ability, it is that there are other mysteries hidden in this ancient cave.
The empty hall, in addition to the statue of Sanqingdao, there are only murals on the wall, and now my passage has come to an end, I looked at the Zhongtian crape myrtle Arctic Emperor on the wall and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Sanqing and Four Emperors, the hall is the Sanqing Dao statue, and then it should be the Four Imperial Altars, three passages, I am here the Zhongtian Ziwei Arctic Emperor, so what will they be?" ”
There is no communication equipment to use in the cave, and there is no signal on the mobile phone, so it has become a problem to communicate with Du Group and them, so I thought of "Six Styles of Exorcism" to see if there is a spirit rune in it that can make people talk through the air.
Just when I was rummaging through my backpack, I didn't find "Six Styles of Exorcism", but I accidentally slipped another ancient book - "Juyang San".
As soon as the book landed, the little pangolin on the side looked very excited, as if there was something in the book that it liked very much, I tried to hand it the book, but this little guy was like a human, showing a look of loss, it swept away the previous excitement, shook its head vigorously, and made a strange sound in its mouth.
Just when I was puzzled, the little pangolin suddenly rolled over and jumped into my backpack, and I looked at the little pangolin suspiciously. After a long time, the little guy pointed to the "Juyang San" in my hand, as if to tell me that this book is mine, and it followed me.
I tried to touch its head with my hand, but the little one did not fear or resist, but rubbed his head against my hand with a docile face.
I was ecstatic, who said that only the Nine Heavens Immortal Monarch could raise spiritual objects, I, Lin Xuan, accepted this little pangolin as a spiritual pet today. I was very happy to touch the little one's head with my hand, and suddenly the little pangolin disappeared again, but strangely enough, I could still feel it rubbing its head against my hand, and after a while, the little one reappeared. It dawned on me that this guy was not going to disappear mysteriously, but that he would be invisible.
It's a very useful skill, and I searched the cave passages with the little pangolin but still couldn't find any more clues. Probably aware of my anxiety, the little one suddenly burst out of my back and roared at me inexplicably, and I looked at it in confusion, completely oblivious to its intentions.
"Zhong, Tian, Zi, Wei," the little guy slurred as if he was learning to speak human words, "North, Pole, Great, Emperor!" ”
"Zhongtian Ziwei Arctic Emperor?"
The little pangolin grinned and nodded.
"You can speak human language?"
The little guy raised his head and looked very remarkable.
"Do you have a name?"
The little pangolin nodded, "Ditch, death." ”
"Waste?" The name sounds a little strange.
"What about your parents?"
"Hole, abyss!"
"Dong Yuan?" The little pangolin is supposed to be a place name, but I don't know.
"Far from here?"
The little pangolin looked a little sad, and it seemed that he might miss his parents, "very, far away." ”
"Then why don't you go to them?"
"Channel, abyss, do, no, to."
Saying that, the little pangolin pointed to the "Juyang San" in my bag, "You, can." ”
"Can I?"
The little pangolin nodded, "Li, mother, said that the master, people, and ability of "Juyang San"!" ”
"Mother Li? Li Mu Mountain god man? ”
The little pangolin nodded, it looked at the Zhongtian crape myrtle Arctic Emperor on the wall, and felt a little sad, "Lord, people, no, joy, joy, that, li." ”
"Master? Do you have a master? ”
The little guy nodded, "White, jade, toad." ”
"Your master is Bai Yutoad?" I was a little surprised, I thought I could take a spiritual pet, but I didn't expect this little guy not only to have an owner, but also to have such a big master.
"The book of thunder is incomplete, the lord, the man, the suffering, the robbery, the body, and the death."
"The White Jade Toad Dao people didn't ascend?"
The little pangolin shook his head, "Sanqing, Dao Fall, Ziwei, Star Weak, Great Tribulation!" ”
The little guy's words sound a little clueless, but it can be predicted that the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm may be experiencing a catastrophe, and this catastrophe is likely to be related to World War II, because after World War II, the spiritual roots of heaven and earth were exhausted, and the gods and demons dissipated. Many Taoists have spent their entire lives searching for reasons for this.
"Little guy, are you saying that the White Jade Toad Dao people didn't succeed in ascending because they encountered a catastrophe, right?"
The little pangolin shook his head, "Purple Palace, Fire, Cave Abyss, Ashes, Master, Preacher, Death." ”
The little pangolin was talking very messily, and I didn't know a lot about Taoism, so I decided to take the little guy to find Du Group and them. The spirit rune activated, and I only felt a sore feeling in my body, and then returned to the cave hall.
Du Group and Li Mubai had already returned here, and seeing me come out in a hurry, they knew that I must have gained something.
"How's it going, have you found anything?"
I nodded, "What about you?" ”
"There is nothing empty, and at the end of the passage is engraved the words 'Gou Chen Shanggong Emperor the Great'."
"Mine is 'Chengtian imitates the Emperor of the Earth'!"
"What about yours?" Du Group turned around and asked.
"Zhongtian crape myrtle Arctic Emperor!"
"This is strange, there are three Qingdao statues in the hall, it stands to reason that there should be four royal below, but now there are only three passages, there should be one more."
"And another?" I looked at Du Group and Li Mubai suspiciously.
"Taoism has always had the saying of three clear, four royal and five elders. There are a total of 36 layers of heaven in Taoism, from bottom to top are: the three realms of 28 layers of heaven, four kinds of people's heaven, three clear heaven, Da Luo Tian, of which the three clear heavens correspond to the three Qing, respectively: Yuqing Holy Realm Qingwei Heaven, Shangqing Halal Realm Yu Yutian and Taiqing Immortal Realm Da Chitian, the three layers of realm heaven are respectively the residence of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. The Four Emperors refer to the Emperor of Gouchen Shanggong, the Emperor of the Arctic of Zhongtian Ziwei, the Emperor of the Earth and the Emperor of the Antarctic Immortal, and the Four Emperors to assist the Jade Emperor to govern the heavenly realm. The five elders are: the Eastern Blue Emperor Qingling Shi Lao Jiuqi Tianjun, the Southern Red Emperor Danling Zhen Lao Sanqi Tianjun, the Central Yellow Emperor Xuanling Huang Lao Yi Qi Tianjun, the Western White Emperor Haoling Emperor Lao Qiqi Tianjun, and the Northern Black Emperor Wuling Xuan Lao Wuqi Tianjun. ”
After Li Mubai finished explaining, I suddenly realized, "That is to say, there should be an Antarctic Immortal Emperor among the four emperors now." ”
Du Group nodded, "Didn't you say you found it, don't tell me you found this?" ”
I shook my head, "How is it possible, this is what I found." With that, I pulled the little pangolin out of my backpack.
"Isn't this the guy who was in the hall just now?"
Li Mubai looked at the little pangolin with interest, "It's still a living thing." ”
"Master, catastrophe, death."
"Master?" Li Mubai looked at me and Du Group with a shocked face, "This little guy can actually speak human words!" ”
"yes, what kind of monster is this? It's so peculiar. Looking at the Du group, he also looked at the little pangolin with an incredible face.
"It's a shame that you still claim to be a Taoist heir, and you don't even know about spiritual objects, especially you," I pointed at Li Mubai with my finger, "These spiritual creatures are pure in blood, and many of them are captive in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but there are also some deep-blooded spiritual creatures who are not restricted by the Nine Heavens and have their own Dongtian Beppu." ”
"You don't mean to say that this little guy is that kind of spiritual creature with pure blood, do you?"
I nodded, "It says its parents are from the cave!" ”
"Dong Yuan?" Li Mubai looked at me with a surprised expression, "That's the address of the legendary Heavenly Crape Myrtle Arctic Emperor when he cultivated!" ”
I and Du Group don't know this very well, after all, there are many Taoist legends, and it's normal to not understand them.
"What the hell is that cave abyss you're talking about?"
Li Mubai looked at me and Du Group with disgust, "Emperor Ziwei occupies an important position in Chinese folk beliefs, belongs to one of the four emperors of Taoism, and is under the Jade Emperor. Zhongtian Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor, also known as the Star Lord, the Northern Emperor, the Dongyuan Lord, the Golden Wheel Blazing, Ziwei, the Arctic Emperor, etc., its residence is high Ziweiyuan, a Polaris Palace, also known as Ziwei Heavenly Palace, belongs to the Daluo Heavenly Realm, the North Pole of the Heavens, and is the residence of the emperor on the constellation. Zi Weixing is located in the middle of the heavens, never moving, the highest position of the star, so it is the most noble, is the "Lord of the Stars, the Master of Vientiane", so he is extremely respected. Emperor Ziwei is in charge of the heavens and the earth, leading the stars to control ghosts and thunder, and is the ancestor of the thunder law. ”
"But does this have anything to do with Dong Yuan?" I looked at Li Mubai suspiciously.
"Of course it matters, didn't I just say that the Emperor of the Middle Heaven Arctic Crape Myrtle, also known as the Star Lord, the Northern Emperor, and the Lord of the Cave Abyss, among them, the Lord of the Cave Abyss is the story of the Emperor of the Crape Myrtle who attained the Tao of the Cave Abyss, so he is known as the Lord of the Cave Abyss."
"And where is this cave?"
Li Mubai shook his head, "This cave abyss is not in the Thirty-six Heavenly Realm, nor is it in the Twenty-Four Mortal Seas, it is within the five forms, but it is hidden between heaven and earth. Like the Fangcun Mountain of the Bodhi Daoists, the Purple Bamboo Forest of Guanyin in the South China Sea, and the Wuzhuang View of Zhenyuan Daxian, they are all relatively hidden existences in the Three Realms and Six Paths, not to mention that mortals can't find their traces even if they are ordinary Rakshasa Earth Immortals. ”
