18. Past and present lives
The little monkey looked at the somewhat familiar and unreal face in front of him, and pinched himself hard, and the feeling of pain invaded, wasn't it in a dream?
The man smiled: "No need to pinch, under the night of Mengzun, it feels the same as the real world." ”
No matter how bold the little monkey was, he couldn't help but be surprised, and a series of questions rushed out of his mouth: "Who are you?" ”
"Didn't I pass five levels and kill six generals in Maoshan?"
"Did I fall asleep or faint?"
"Did I pass the test, or did I not pass the test?"
"Who is Mengzun? What does night mean? ”
……
The man watched him silently, listening to him speak incoherently, the corners of his mouth raised. He said in his heart: "How did you find such a host?" The dead old man did this. After that, he was punished for two days before he could drink once. This psychological quality is really worrying. ”
He took a flask from his waist and took a sip of it, holding it in his mouth for a while before swallowing it all. It seems that the smell of wine can make him nostalgic.
Then he handed it to the little monkey, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Take a sip first." Look at this wine, if it suits your taste. ”
The little monkey was in a daze, took the gourd handed over, and poured a big mouthful, suddenly feeling that his throat was spicy, his stomach was hot, and his whole body was suddenly warm.
I didn't care about the questions just now, but I discussed the wine with the man.
The little monkey praised: "Good wine! Wine! What kind of wine is this? What is your name? ”
"It's just home-brewed local sake, and it doesn't have a name." The man was triumphant.
"Good wine! Wine! I'll take another bite. The little monkey praised and drank, saying that it was a sip, but it was one sip after another, and it was easy to stop, but he did not mean to return the wine jug to others, smacked his tongue and squinted his eyes, and said: "It seems to smell a little dirt and hay, tsk!" Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
"Huh...... I've never drunk this wine, but why do I always think I've drunk it somewhere? The little monkey frowned and said, suddenly realized, "I remember, it's a bit like the wine that my old man gave me, well, dare to love the good wine in the world is like this!" ”
The man smiled at him, and suddenly said something inexplicable, "Drinking has something in common with me." The wine the old man gave you did a little bit of a good job. ”
"What do you say? What old man? Do you know the old man in my family? No, we haven't seen it. The little monkey didn't react.
"Alas......" The man sighed lightly, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and his tone was full of melancholy and reminiscence.
The little monkey came back to his senses, looked at the man with strange eyes, and remembered an important question: "Who are you?" ”
The man pondered, looked at the little monkey's puzzled face, and laughed.
Ban Xiang said, "Boy, let's answer your two questions first." I'll talk to you about other questions later. ”
The little monkey looked expectant.
The man took a sip of wine, spit out a sip of wine, and said, "You remember that you passed the test, right?" Now you're in the dream of the fifth level. This level is called a dream. ”
The little monkey opened his mouth wide and was speechless.
"Dreams are also a level? Who is the defender? Then how did you end up in my dreams? ”
The man glared at him impatiently, "Listen to you, or listen to me?" ”
The little monkey had to shut up. There are too many questions in my mind.
Seeing that he was honest, the man smiled mysteriously and said, "Guard, you also know this person." ”
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, that arrogance, that kind of pride, and a long-lost meaning, "Boy, it's me!" ”
The little monkey jumped up three feet high, could no longer keep his mouth shut, and cried out, "Dead old man! Where are you? Where did you run for so long? I went to hundreds of bamboo forests to look for you before, why didn't I see you? Running here independently? What the hell is going on? ”
The old man's voice sounded: "I haven't gone anywhere, I have been waiting for you to go up the mountain from Wanjiazhuang, I have been waiting here for you to go up the mountain." ”
The little monkey had already opened his mouth three times, but fortunately there were too many things that surprised him today, and he immediately reacted, looking around to find the figure of the old man, who was still slowly drinking and watching his movements with interest.
When he couldn't find it, he turned his head and asked, "The old man can't come in?" How did he become the guard of the five levels? ”
There was a grunt, and another sip of wine went down.
The man sighed and said, "He can't enter your dreams." Because this dream was set up for you by me and him. He is the most mysterious Venerable of Maoshan, Mengzun. Only in the dream mirror can you hide from those who don't want you and me to wake up. ”
The old man's voice never sounded again, but the little monkey knew that he must be there.
The man patted the little monkey on the shoulder and said sympathetically, "Time is running out, let's make a long story short." You listen quietly. ”
It's a long story.
It grows to almost as long as the history of Maoshan.
But the most important part of the book started 16 years ago.
This person is the god of the Zhenzong of the Maoshan Sect back then-Xuantian Master, and all the people who can enter the Heavenly Master Hall are called Xuantian Master, who is the Xuantian Master of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and can be regarded as the registered disciple of this Heavenly Court Holy Maiden in the world. Take care of the heavenly realm on earth for her, subdue demons and subdue demons, and maintain stability in the world.
For a long time, Maoshan can be based on heaven and earth, and can become the patron saint of the heavenly realm on earth, which is naturally closely related to this Xuantian master. As long as there is one day when he is there, the world can enjoy a peaceful day.
Until sixteen years ago, the demon world and the demon world tried in vain to conspire to conquer the human heaven realm again, but they were not full of the Xuantian master who had entered the Taiyi Daluo realm early, and the Xuantian master under the conspiracy successively resisted the Ten Thousand Demon King and the Red Blood Evil Emperor, and these two leaders of the demon world were seriously injured and fled, and they failed to recover for 16 years.
He also beat almost all the strong opponents of the two realms of demons who surrounded him, except for the strongest of the strongest like the Blood Demon Ancestor, who was fortunate to escape with his life, but also in that battle, he couldn't recover for a long time, and he never broke through the realm again.
That battle was really singable and weeping.
But even if he was as strong as the Xuantian Master, he couldn't resist so many strong enemies and retreat with his whole body, he was injured again and again, and finally after the battle with the Red Blood Evil Emperor, he injured the original and his body was destroyed, but the Yuan Shen was still there, and he avoided it with the innate Yuan Spirit.
With the help of the old man, the Yuan Shen possessed the newborn little monkey, and the ball of light in his lower abdomen was the innate Yuan Spirit representing the Xuantian Master. The innate spirit has also been absorbing various vitality at the bottom of the abyss to recover, waiting for the appearance of the little monkey.
"So, the old man was sent by you to take care of me?" "That's not it. How else you can be so alive? ”
"So, I'm you, you're me?" "You can say that, you can't say that."
"What should I say then?" "You only have my memories, but you can't get my mana."
"And who am I?" "To put it simply, you are my afterlife."
"Then I'm not called Hou Xiaoxian?" "From today onwards, your name is Hou Xuan."
"Why is that?" "When you become a Xuantian Master one day, you don't need to change your name."
……
One last question: "When will I become a Xuantian Master?" Can you have the power of you? ”
"That's up to you. Starting today, you have to accumulate strength from scratch and strive to break through the Great Luo Realm as soon as possible. I also hope that one day, you will be able to break through the Daluo Realm and go straight to the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Realm, which can be on a par with the immortals of the Nine Heavens Xuannu. I don't have to be like me, beaten by those demons to be reincarnated. ”
The sound began to fade slowly. All of a sudden, the amount of information was too great, and the little monkey was dizzy. The sea of knowledge boiled everywhere.
The little monkey woke up suddenly, and it seemed that there were still many questions in his mind, such as since the Xuantian Master was the representative of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, why didn't he come to the rescue in that big battle? Could it be that Heavenly Court watched their representatives in the human world being beaten to the ground and forced to reincarnate?
The voice came from afar, "Heavenly Court is not necessarily Elysium, there are many truths that you need to dig out. There is one thing to keep in mind, before you reach the Great Luo Realm, you must not let anyone know that the innate spirit is in you. Don't let people know that my primordial god is with you. Remember. Remember. ”
The little monkey tried to reach out and grab the sound, but he pounced.
His body shook violently, and he finally woke up. The steps in front of him, which represented the five levels, were all behind him.
