Chapter 416: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
The Yellow Emperor took Hou Yi and Shi Yi and drove the dragon chariot to the imperial palace. Within the dragon chariot, the three of them made an agreement, that is, Gu Yunzhe must not be brought to Mount Olympus by a foreign race. If the god emperor Chiyou, who is hidden in Mount Olympus, awakens with his spiritual yuan, it will be a catastrophe for Huaxia.
In front of the imperial palace, Prince Shaohao was waiting there. After seeing Long Yuan, Shao Hao waved to the side, and the horn representing triumph was sounded. The sound of the horn "woo ......" resounded through the heavens and the earth, and it seemed to echo it, and the same horn sound sounded in the surrounding sub-cities.
As the horn sounded, the dance music to welcome the triumphant soldiers was played, and in a moment there was a bear city, the yellow bell and the big Lu rang in unison, and the silk string orchestra sounded at the same time. And there are some waiter immortals who are good at controlling the clouds, waving the magic trick, so that above the sky, all kinds of clouds, clouds surge and roll, accompanied by some flying fairies soft and beautiful posture, like a dream.
The Yellow Emperor, Hou Yi, Shi Yi walked down the dragon chariot, and took Wu Luo and others behind him, under the guidance of Prince Shaohao, to the Middle Earth Palace. In the Middle-earth Palace, a celebration feast has already been set up.
The Yellow Emperor and the people, divided into monarchs and ministers, sat down separately. After everyone sat down, Hou Yi and Shi Yi found that there was an extra banquet table, and the two immediately realized that it must have been left by the emperor for Gu Yunzhe.
Hou Yi looked at the table, his heart was hot, and he suddenly felt that the king also had a human touch.
The Yellow Emperor sat on the high platform and saw the slight changes in the faces of the two, and he also glanced at the banquet table. Picking up the wine jue, he put his hands in front of him, "Ladies and gentlemen, Xuanyuan borrowed this thin glass of wine to say hard work to you!" ”
The people below also raised their hands and looked at the Yellow Emperor, "For my Huaxia, I am willing to smear my liver and brain, and repay the king's kindness with death!" ”
"This first cup, to all the generals here. It was all of you who led millions of heroes, sacrificed their lives for righteousness, resisted the enemy of foreign races, and kept the peace of our China. Please! After the Yellow Emperor finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone below thanked them in unison, "Emperor Xie rewarded!" "Immediately after that, drink it all.
The Yellow Emperor picked up the second cup of wine and held it in his hand again, "This second cup, I pay tribute to those soldiers who died in battle, it was they who defended the glory of China with their lives, so that people of other races dare not despise it." Rest in peace! After speaking, he slowly sprinkled the wine in front of the wine table.
The people below were also silent, and slowly sprinkled the wine in front of the wine table. I don't know if it's an illusion or a real scene, everyone in the palace felt a fresh breeze slowly flowing past them at the same time. The breeze was a little cool, as if there was really a group of people walking slowly through the palace. In an instant, it disappeared again, as if it had never happened.
The Yellow Emperor also felt it, put the wine jue on the table, sighed lightly, watched the waiter pour the wine jue, and picked it up again, "This third cup, only one person, General Gu Yunzhe." From this battle, I saw the noble feelings, the broad-mindedness, and the deep feelings for China, which made me feel ashamed. General Gu is my first person in China, respect him alone! With that, he held the wine jue high above his head, expressing his highest respect.
Hou Yi and Shi Yi saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were even more shocked, and they also learned to raise the wine jue above their heads.
Looking at the people in the store as himself, the Yellow Emperor's mood fluctuated slightly, but it was only an instantaneous change, and the time was short, as if it had never appeared.
After drinking three cups in a row, this entered the main part of the celebration, and the song and dance palace E walked into the main hall, accompanied by a beautiful melody, and began to dance. Looking at the graceful posture of those palace laves, these generals who had just returned from the battlefield also relaxed, and the evil aura on their bodies contaminated by the battle slowly dissipated.
The banquet lasted for three days, and during these three days, the entire bear city was wrapped in the aroma of wine and meat, as well as the fragrance of fat powder.
However, under this, a few very inconspicuous figures, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, walked out of the bear city in the night of the first day, and galloped south.
These people are Wu Luo, Guan Shan, Yu Er, and the prince Shaohao. Under the leadership of Shao Hao, several of them went straight to Kongtong Mountain and went there to seek assistance from the Kongtong faction.
Guangchengzi of the Kongtong faction, known as the emperor's master, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had studied here for several years, which is why he was very concerned about Guanshan, after all, Guanshan's master and Xuanyuan had the friendship of participating in the same cave. Back then, the two could be described as in love, and Meng was not out of focus. Therefore, when Guan Shan defected to Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan asked him to return to Nantianmen, which was his home and the place where his parents had fought, and where he served as the supervisor of Nanyu City in Dongtianmen.
However, because Guan Shan was in the name of his relatives, he was ostracized a lot there, but he had no intention of asking Xuanyuan to come forward, he just wanted to rely on his own strength to make a career and let those who looked down on him take a look.
The conspiracy between the Yellow Emperor and Hou Yi and Shi Yi must be sent to Kongtong to complete it successfully. Therefore, only four people, including Shao Hao and Wu Luo, were sent. After a few people walked out of the bear city, they immediately entered the eighth layer realm, where no one else was allowed to enter except for marching purposes, so that the possibility of being discovered by others was also avoided.
Half a day later, the four of them came to the top of Kongtong Mountain, looking at Kongtong Mountain, which was shrouded in auspicious air, several people did not dare to break through and fell in front of the mountain. Looking at the high gate tower in front of him, Shao Hao was slightly excited, bowed his head and said to Wu Luo: "Sister Wu Luo, this is Kongtong Mountain." After many years, he is still dignified. ”
Wu Luo didn't look at him, just tightened the robe outside and walked out first. Shao Hao's face was slightly embarrassed, and Guan Shan and Yu Er in the back, seeing Shao Hao's deflated appearance, couldn't help but laugh in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Guan Shan raised his hand, "Prince, please!" ”
Shao Hao glanced at him, smiled, nodded, and walked forward. Yu Er and Guan Shan followed side by side.
There is not much decoration on the Kongtong Mountain Gate, which is an ordinary gray stone pillar with a solid wood lookout on it, which can accommodate two people walking side by side. On the wood at the head of the door, there are two quaint big characters engraved, "Kongtong".
Guan Shan returned to the mountain gate, his heart was also full of emotion, he remembered the last time he came to Kongtong, or when he went to Dongtianmen, to serve as a supervisor, when he passed by, he came to say goodbye to the master. Although the master didn't say anything, from the master's eyes, he sensed that the master was a little disappointed, after all, this envoy was an idle position, and he had no military power, so he couldn't let Guan Shan show his talents.
And at this moment, when he came to the sect again, he came as a general of the Southern Expeditionary Army, although he still had no military power, he went to the battlefield with Hou Yi and killed more than a dozen foreign soldiers alone. Hou Yi said to himself at the time that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely let him be a vanguard general.
Sure enough, after returning to Youxiong City, the three Yellow Emperors carefully selected the four of them as the team to rescue Gu Yunzhe after planning. There is a certain reason why there are four of them.
Guan Shan is a fresh face and is not known to the world, but Hou Yi saw his talent and strongly recommended it. Wu Luo has also been in seclusion for many years, not to mention that she has a withdrawn personality and often haunts, and no one dares to investigate.
As for Yu'er, he has lived in the army for a long time, and he only does some things to deliver letters, and is rarely noticed. However, Shi Yi knows that Yu Erqi is a person, first of all, he is loyal, trustworthy, and extremely reliable. Second, Yu Er's five elements are good at retreating, and there is nothing that can stop him. And he is alert, good at detecting the dangers around him, and can avoid them early.
As for Prince Shaohao, it was the Yellow Emperor who had the intention to train him. Although Shao Hao's cultivation is not low, and he is proficient in a variety of techniques, and he is also his right-hand man, the Yellow Emperor still feels that Shao Hao is a little arrogant and not calm. This expedition was also to let him understand the situation outside of China, and also to accumulate some experience for himself, so that he could take over the throne in the future. And Prince Shaohao is also happy to go, after all, along the way, he can get close to Wu Luo Duoduo, show some of his own feelings, and gain Wu Luo's favor.
A few people had just arrived at the gate of Kongtong Mountain, and suddenly, two boys walked out of the door, with a bun on their heads, gray robes, and straw sandals made of rattan straw under their feet.
"A few distinguished guests, the two of us are in front of the ancestor without thoughts and thoughts. The master already knew that a few people were coming, and he had been waiting in the temple for a long time, so he sent the two of us to wait here. The ancestor instructed that when a few people came to the bottom of the mountain, they immediately stepped on the Five Elements Cloud to go to the view, and there must be no mistake. Please! The two Taoist children said in a childish voice, and as they spoke, a colorful auspicious cloud immediately appeared between the gates.
Wu Luo looked at the few people behind him, still didn't speak, and stepped directly on the auspicious clouds. The auspicious clouds were quite thick, and her legs were buried by the auspicious clouds up to her knees. However, Wu Luo felt that these colorful auspicious clouds were quite hard and solid, without the slightest feeling of softness.
Shao Hao saw Wu Luo stepping on the auspicious clouds, he did not hesitate, followed closely behind, and also stepped up, and at the same time said politely to the two Taoist children: "Thank you two fairy children." This auspicious cloud gave him a sense of novelty, after all, he was sitting in the chariot.
After Yu'er and Guan Shan, who were behind, stepped on the auspicious clouds, the two Dao Tong Wunian and Wusi also stepped up, standing on both sides of the crowd, as if protecting them. The two of them tapped lightly on the doorpost at the same time, and the colorful auspicious clouds immediately rose slowly, after passing the door of the mountain gate. It began to slant upwards and flew quickly towards the top of the mountain, and the sound of the whirring wind was heard in my ears.
The auspicious clouds didn't fly high, just over the treetops. The four of them stood on the clouds, looked around, and found that this Kongtong Mountain covers a wide area, and it is not just this mountain, but one high and two short, three peaks. The main peak is Kongtong Mountain, which is ten thousand miles high, like a single pillar, and the two mountains next to it are like two skirts around the main peak, forming a circle. It's just that at the junction, there is a high and a low. If it weren't, it would have been seen as a tall wall.
And between the three mountains, in a symmetrical position, there are two lakes, both round, the difference is that one is dazzlingly white, and the other is a brilliant blue color.
Just as the four of them were enjoying the surrounding scenery, the mountains and trees in front of them suddenly disappeared, and a majestic Taoist temple appeared. Gusts of wind chimes rang from the Taoist temple, giving people a feeling of freshness and condensation. It's just that outside the entire Taoist temple, they didn't see anyone walking around, as if it was empty, which gave them a strange feeling.
The auspicious cloud flew to the door of the Taoist temple, fell to the ground, and then melted into the ground, disappearing, leaving only four people and two Daotongs.
One of the Taoist boys said to them, "Distinguished guests, please come with me." After saying that, the two took the lead and walked forward, side by side, leading the way for several people.
Shao Hao, Wu Luo, and Yu Er did not follow, but looked at Guan Shan with some hesitation.
Guan Shan looked at the two Dao boys, smiled slightly, and said to a few people: "The prince, General Wuluo, General Yu'er, the two of them should be the new Kongtong since the year before last, and they don't know me." I think the place where the two of them are going to take us should be the retreat place of the master. Rest assured, it's safe here, and only the core disciples in the sect can control that auspicious clouds. Shicai, I felt the breath of my master from the auspicious clouds, and it should be my master who led us up. "After that, take the first step and move forward.
Shao Hao, Wu Luo, and Yu Er followed behind.
Several people came to the main gate of the Taoist temple, looking at this nearly three-zhang gatehouse, and couldn't help but sigh. This gatehouse does not have the magnificence of the imperial palace, it is still slightly original and simple, but it implies majesty and cannot be desecrated. Looking at the surrounding walls and eaves, they are also common warped bucket arches, green tiles and gray bricks. However, all the places are very clean, which adds a clean elegance to the Taoist temple.
They walked through several doorways and saw the two Taoist boys waiting for them in front of a simple hall. A few people walked over quickly, and before they came to the main hall, they saw that the door of the main hall was wide open, and it could be seen that there were several Taoist priests sitting cross-legged facing inward. In front of them, there was an old Taoist priest, with silver hair and long hair under his nose, who was talking eloquently, preaching scriptures and preaching.
After seeing a few people, the old Taoist's voice suddenly raised a few points, "True emptiness and true loneliness, true purity and true nothingness, a Xuanzhu, heart to heart." If you wade into the big water, it has no end, and it has reached the other side, then if you are like a raft, the law should still be abandoned, if you don't know what to follow, you can not show it to the raft! After speaking, the old Taoist priest looked at the four people outside the door with bright eyes.
