Chapter 37: The Plague Emperor (2)
"What kind of character is this Lu Yue?" On the way, Meng Xingyuan asked Ah Feng.
"I think he's a 'tendon' who likes to kill, cares about human life, and has no brains. In the end, he died of his own character. From Ah Feng's expression, it can be seen that she doesn't have much affection for Lu Yue.
"Yes, there are not many records of him in the "Fengshen List", so I don't know much about him. Can you talk about it carefully?" Meng Xingyuan was embarrassed to say that he didn't read the book carefully enough.
Ah Feng explained to him: "Lu Yue is a Qi Refiner on Kowloon Island, a second-generation disciple of the Interception Sect, a disciple of the Tongtian Sect, and a self-proclaimed 'I am the first in the Interception Sect'. However, such a person with a very high status was fooled by Shen Gongbao in a few words, and he actually wanted to go against the sky to protect the business and destroy Zhou. Does it count as brainless?
Besides, after he suffered a defeat, he actually ordered his four disciples to sow plague pills in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Xiqi City. This made everyone in Xiqi City poisoned except for Nezha and Yang Jian, because Nezha is the incarnation of a lotus flower and does not eat fireworks in the world, while Yang Jian has a nine-turn Xuangong and is in good health. The people of the city are dying and in danger, do you think this is a careless disregard for human life?
Later, he was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty army and fled with his only remaining disciple, Yang Wenhui, but met Wei Hu halfway. Yang Wenhui was killed by Wei Hu, and Lu Yue himself had one of his arms cut off, but he still escaped. Actually, he should understand that he is not the opponent of Jiang Ziya and others. Even the 'Zhuxian Array' set up by his master, Tongtian Sect Master, was broken by Yuan Shi Tianzun and the others, not to mention him? Moreover, the Three Emperors of Huoyun Cave Heaven and Earth gave Yang Jiandan an antidote, which showed that they were also on the same front as Xiqi City.
"However, Lu Yue is a 'tendon' temper, he can't see the situation clearly, and he actually came to trouble Jiang Ziya for the second time, and he also set up some 'plague emperor array'. We all know the final result: he died under Yang Ren's Five Fire God Flame Fan, his body turned to ashes, and he also had Li Ping, who was kind enough to advise him. “
Meng Xingyuan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that this Lu Yue must be difficult to deal with." We need to be prepared to accept his troubles. ”
"He is only the Haotian Emperor who is in charge of the plague department, and he is not the Haotian Emperor who is in charge of the Three Realms. Even if you don't look down on us, how can you give the Queen Mother some face. Ah Feng said disapprovingly.
Meng Xingyuan didn't say anything more, but he was a little more worried in his heart.
After a short time, the two came to Kowloon Island in the Beihai Sea. Meng Xingyuan saw that the waves around this island were monstrous and the water mist was shrouded. On the island, there are even more exotic flowers and plants, the number of verdant and fragrant is overflowing. Just like what is said in "Romance of the Gods": the flowers and plants are as showy, and the cypress and green pine are new in color.
At the main entrance, there was only a boy who looked like he was seven or eight years old.
"Boy, excuse me, may I ask Lu Yue and Lu Daxian, are you here?" Ah Feng said politely, and even bowed slightly.
Meng Xingyuan whispered, "Why are you so polite to a little kid?"
"What do you know?" Ah Feng glanced at Meng Xingyuan, "Do you think that the boy who can guard the door for the immortals will be an ordinary child?"
The boy raised his eyes and glanced at Ah Feng: "Ah Feng, girl doesn't need to be polite. ”
"How do you know that she is Ah Feng?" Meng Xingyuan said in surprise.
"The Queen Mother's personal maid, how could I not know?" the boy said as he looked at Meng Xingyuan from head to toe, "You are a flesh fetus, but you don't have the stench of mortals in the yang world. If I'm not mistaken, you must have taken the Jizo King Bodhisattva's 'Bone Changing Flying Pill', right?"
Meng Xingyuan was stunned: "You, how do you know?"
"To be able to make a mortal reborn and become half an immortal, except for the 'Bone Changing Flying Pill' of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, I really can't think of any other panacea. In addition, I see that you walk steadily, powerfully, and nimblely. The Jizo King Bodhisattva must have also taught you the 'Red Cloud Chasing the Moon Step', right? The Jizo King Bodhisattva actually loves you so much, it seems that you will not be an ordinary person anymore. After saying these words, the boy's face showed a slight smug look.
Meng Xingyuan would never have dreamed that a child who looked so young could easily see through everything about him. He couldn't even say anything about his shock.
The boy smiled slightly, and said to Ah Feng, "I don't know why Miss Ah Feng came here?"
Ah Feng also had more respect for the boy, and she solemnly saluted: "We are here to visit Haotian Emperor Lu Daxian." Annoying boy to announce. ”
"Miss Ah Feng should have gone to tell her immediately. The boy's face showed a little embarrassment, "However, Miss Ah Feng must also know that my husband has a strange temper and acts unpredictable. ”
Ah Feng had to smile and say, "How can the thoughts of the great immortals be something that mortals like us can understand." ”
The boy said, "It would be great if Miss Ah Feng understood my husband. Please come with me, both of you. With that, the boy led Ah Feng and Meng Xingyuan to the gate. A white gravel path runs from the gate to the door.
The boy pointed to the path and said, "Miss Feng, you can walk to the house from this road to meet my husband." On this path, there are a total of four paintings, each of which is a dumb puzzle. Miss Fung needs to guess four riddles before she can enter the house. ”
Meng Xingyuan laughed secretly: "If you want to see him, you have to guess riddles, how can this Lu Daxian be like a child?"
"There's a boy of labor. Ah Feng stared at the path that was not very long, "We must see Lu Daxian." So, I had to try to break through. ”
"Miss Afeng, don't worry. The boy stopped Ah Feng, who was eager to try, "I haven't finished my words yet." Two, if you guess the four riddles, you can enter the house, of course, it is very good. However, if you can't guess the four riddles in the time of one stick of incense, the path will be covered with poison gas. As for the power of poison gas, the two of you should be able to imagine it. Moreover, as long as the two of them set foot on this path, they can only go all the way. If you quit halfway, poisonous gases will still emerge. Two, think again. “
"Thank you for reminding you, no matter what, we all want to see Lu Daxian. Meng Xingyuan said loudly.
"Since the two of you are determined to move forward, then I can only wish you two success. As he spoke, the boy bowed deeply to them.
"Wait a minute," Ah Feng said to the boy, "we saw Lu Daxian to save people and save the city." For this sake, I wonder if the fairy can give us some hints. ”
The boy thought for a moment: "For the sake of the Queen Mother and Miss Ah Feng to save people, I will give you some hints." My husband is a master of making and practicing medicine, so the four mysteries are all related to herbal medicine. That's all I can say. ”
"What? Herbs? I'm not a god, I'm a ghost, and I've almost never touched herbs. How is this good?" she looked at Meng Xingyuan with a pleading look.
This sentence made Meng Xingyuan very happy, because he was frail and sick when he was a child, and he drank traditional Chinese medicine almost every day.
After thanking the boy, he took Ah Feng's hand and stepped on the stone path with confidence. However, he found that Ah Feng's hands were already sweating.
This path paved with smooth stones was no different from what Meng Xingyuan had walked before, it was all hard and a little awkward. He turned his head and smiled at Ah Feng, and gently squeezed her hand.
They came to the first painting, which showed two people sitting opposite each other playing Go. The chessboard is full of black and white pieces, and there is no gap at all.
"This, what does this mean? Is there only a chessboard that can't be dropped?" Ah Feng looked at it for a while, but he didn't see a reason, so he had to ask Meng Xingyuan.
Meng Xingyuan, who was frowning and thinking, listened to Ah Feng's words, his eyes lit up, he grabbed the pen under the picture, wrote down two words, and then took Ah Feng to see the second painting.
The second painting is also very simple, a monk sitting on the ground chanting sutras, with a tree behind him and an oversized robe on the tree.
"There is something strange about the clothes worn by this monk hanging from the tree, have you noticed it?" Ah Feng said cautiously.
"What did you just say something strange?" Meng Xingyuan asked excitedly.
"The clothes, the robe on the tree. Ah Feng was a little confused by her.
"Yes, yes, it's not just a robe, it's a garment. Meng Xingyuan slapped his head hard and quickly wrote down the answer.
Continuing on, I saw a third painting. A roof was painted on the door, and a drop of water was dripping down to a stone below, and the stone had been carved through a deep hole by the droplet. This painting is very reminiscent of the phrase "water drops wear stones".
"Haha, this one is a little simple. Meng Xingyuan was overjoyed and quickly wrote out the mystery.
"There's only one last painting, let's take it down in one go!" Ah Feng squeezed Meng Xingyuan's hand and said excitedly.
