Chapter 131: The Game (I)
Since it is a "game", not a sword fight, it means that it is not a comparison of the ability to fight with others, but more of a test of the mind. For Zhang Yuelu, the advantage is that Xuanji will not rely on the realm of cultivation to reduce ten with one force, and the disadvantage is that the rules are formulated by Xuanji, Xuanji solves the problem, and Zhang Yuelu solves the problem.
Zhang Yuelu pondered for a moment, did not turn around and leave, but walked towards the alley.
The sky was already gloomy because of the snow, and the alley was even darker, and at the end of it was a black lacquered gate with two rusty knockers.
Zhang Yuelu came to the door, first stretched out his hand and pushed it, but the door did not move at all. She had no choice but to reach out and grab the knocker and pat it.
After a while, with the creaking sound of the door shaft turning, the door opened on its own, and there was a black hole behind the door, and it was impossible to see anything clearly, even if Zhang Yuelu used the "Immortal Qi Technique", it was still the same.
Zhang Yuelu wanted to say "pretending to be a god and making a ghost", but after thinking about it, the Purple Light Society believed in Gu Immortals, and they were originally ghosts and gods, so they didn't need to pretend to be gods.
Zhang Yuelu simply took off her cloak, revealing the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes", and took out the "Phaseless Paper", and then stepped into the gate.
After this gate, there are two heavens and two worlds.
Behind the door is not a filthy brothel, but a wilderness, with a large lake in the distance and a starry sky overhead.
It's like a poem that often appears in the book - when you are drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.
However, Zhang Yuelu did not have the leisure and elegance to appreciate the scenery at this time, and observed the Quartet with a solemn face, and the purple air in his eyes kept turning.
It's just that the "Immortal Hope Qi Technique" has returned in vain.
This made Zhang Yuelu very surprised, the "Immortal Qi Technique" can't see through other people's reality and reality, this is not unusual, and it is so when you meet someone whose realm is too much higher than yourself. But at this time, the "Immortal Hope Qi Technique" is not impossible to see, but falls into the void, and there is nothing in front of him, what is there to "look for"?
This has never happened before.
At this moment, Xuanji's voice sounded from all directions, ethereal: "Zhang Gaogong, since you have entered this place, then the game has officially begun." ”
Zhang Yuelu said quietly: "Please tell me the rules." ”
"Actually, the rules are very simple." Xuanji still only hears his voice and doesn't see him, "Children's tricks, hide and seek." I am hidden in this small world, if Zhang Gaogong finds me in an hour's time, then even if Zhang Gaogong wins, our Ziguang Society will abide by the agreement and complete our due duties. If Zhang Gaogong can't find me in an hour's time, then even if Zhang Gaogong loses, from now on, we can be sisters and work together. ”
Zhang Yuelu pursed her lips and looked around again.
She found that after Xuanji announced the rules, there was a bronze tripod in the night, which could be clearly seen no matter how far away it was, and there was a stick like a giant pillar inserted in it, the blue-red incense head flickered brightly and dimly, and the purple smoke curled.
Xuanji continued: "Of course, in such a big place, it is really embarrassing to let Zhang Gaogong find it out of thin air, and I will also give Zhang Gaogong some hints, and I guarantee in the name of Niangniang that these hints are true." And then there's the first tip. ”
Zhang Yuelu didn't try to find out Xuanji's location through some magical powers, firstly, because they occupied a favorable location, and secondly, because there was too much difference in the realm cultivation between the two, so she chose to listen attentively.
"Three, four, five, like a bow, fifteen or sixteen is majestic, everyone says that I am thirty years old, and twenty-eight or nine will be sent to the end." Xuanji said, "It's not hard to guess. ”
As the words fell, she was silent. I don't know if it's gone, or keep quiet, and continue to observe Zhang Yuelu in secret.
Zhang Yuelu just frowned and thought for a moment, and then guessed the answer to the riddle.
This riddle is about the moon.
At the beginning of the month, it is like a bow, and it is the first moon. The middle of the month is a full moon. At the end of the month, it was a full moon again.
She looked up and saw that the night was full of stars holding the moon.
The law of the Purple Light True Monarch is slightly inferior to the Blue Emperor and the Si Ming True Monarch who are in charge of life and death, but the Purple Light True Monarch is the Lord of the Stars. At first glance, it seems to be a bit contradictory, because the Blue Emperor and the Si Ming True Monarch are in charge of the South Dipper and the North Dipper respectively, and they are both star lords, and even the Taiyin True Monarch and the Sun True Monarch are also considered star lords.
Strictly speaking, the Purple Light True Monarch is the Mother of the Stars, also known as the Purple Light Lady, and in terms of seniority, she is higher than the other Star Lords. It's just that the achievements of the descendants are not necessarily lower than those of the predecessors, and the Purple Light True Monarch fell too early, so it is not unusual for him to be overtaken by others after the fall. When Zu Tianshi was a child, Wu Luo was already a high witch goddess, leading the ancient witch cult with other great witches, and was worshipped, the gap between the two was not the same as the abyss, but in the end, Wu Luo still died under the sword of Zu Tianshi, a junior generation, and even the entire ancient witch sect was destroyed by the Heavenly Master Sect established by Zu Tianshi.
It is the metabolism of personnel that has become ancient and modern.
The Purple Light True Monarch is the Lord of the Stars, symbolizing the stars in the sky, so a bright moon is the Taiyin True Monarch.
Now that Taiyin Zhenjun is no longer in the world, is there still a legacy of Taiyin Zhenjun here?
Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, then his figure rose into the air and flew towards Mingyue.
After all, this is not the world, maybe she can try to stand on the moon.
Soon, a bright moon was in sight, as if it could be touched by reaching out, and even faintly could be seen on the bright moon, there was a looming pavilion palace, which should be the legendary Guanghan Palace.
Zhang Yuelu was wearing "Taiyi Cloud Clothes", with fluttering clothes, as if she was a Guanghan fairy running to the moon.
However, Zhang Yuelu soon discovered that after the initial period of time, the distance between her and the moon seemed to be constant, and it never narrowed any closer. The bright moon that seems to be within reach is actually out of reach, like a phantom.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu suddenly woke up, this was a false illusion at all, and it was impossible for Taiyin Zhenjun's Guanghan Palace to appear here, she was misled by Xuanji's riddle.
At the same time, Xuanji's voice also sounded in Zhang Yuelu's ears, with a little smile: "Zhang Gaogong, it's a little late to wake up." ”
Zhang Yuelu immediately glanced at the blue-red incense.
The key to the game is not guessing, but time, and the reason why Xuanji wants to mislead her is to waste time.
She wasted nearly two moments trying to fly to the moon.
However, Xuanji assured at the beginning of the game that her tips were true.
Since the hint is true and the moon in front of you is fake, it means that there is another real moon.
Where is the second round of the moon?
Zhang Yuelu was an extremely smart person, and immediately thought of the allusion of the Confucian sage about the moon: the moon is printed in ten thousand rivers, a moon hangs high in the night sky, but countless moons can be seen in the rivers and lakes in the world, and countless moons are finally returned to one moon, which means that Tianli is the origin of all things.
She looked to her feet.
There is a moon in the sky and a moon in the water.
Normally, the moon in the sky is real, and the moon in the water is fake. If the last moon is fake today, then the moon in the water is naturally real.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu no longer "ran to the moon" in vain, let go of his body, and fell directly towards the lake below.
Xuanji's voice sounded at the right time: "Zhang Gaogong is worthy of Zhang Gaogong, and he guessed it." ”
When the words fell, Zhang Yuelu's whole person just fell into the water, and the moon shadow in the water was in the middle.
There was no splash, and in an instant, the entire surface of the lake, along with the moon shadow in it, became fragmented.
Zhang Yuelu sank to the bottom of the lake, as if entering the second world.
For celestial beings, they can fly to the sky and the earth, and naturally they can also hold their breath.
The water is very clear, without the slightest bit of turbidity, which does not affect the view.
At this time, there are many blurred figures in the lake, like a drowning person whose feet are entangled in aquatic weeds, the buoyancy of the lake makes them keep upward, but the fetters on their feet make them unable to float on the surface, and can only float in the lake.
In the middle of the many figures, there was a dark cobblestone, on which sat a person, different from the blurring of those figures, this person's face was clearly visible, but it was not Xuanji, but a strange man.
Sensing Zhang Yuelu's arrival, the man slowly opened his eyes.
Xuanji's voice sounded again: "The second reminder, swear to sweep away the Huns without regard for themselves, and five thousand mink brocade will lose Hu Chen." Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. ”
Zhang Yuelu frowned, she knew this poem, the first four sentences were: "The Han lord Dongfeng reported the peace, and there was no one to discuss the border soldiers." Zongrao won the forest Husse, and the moraine mulberry hemp seed did not grow. ”
This reminded Zhang Yuelu of the experience of her uncle Shi Bingyun, who took the initiative to give up the position of the heir of Cihang's lineage for a man, but that man died in the battlefield of the Western Regions.
The man said in a deep voice: "I am the remnant soul of Gou Chen Zhenjun, and I can show you the future." ”
After that, he stretched out his hand, and a black shadow was pulled over by him, turning into a dream bubble, enveloping Zhang Yuelu in it, and also making Zhang Yuelu immersive.
It was in the Yujing Zixiao Palace.
Real people gathered in the hall, and outside the door were countless Taoist priests.
Zhang Yuelu bathed in the mountain, walked into Zixiao Palace, walked up the steps step by step, and walked towards the position that symbolized the lord of the Dao Gate.
Cihang Zhenren was by her side, only slightly half a position behind.
After that, there are three deputy heads of the Great True Sect.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly felt as if someone had patted her shoulder with a big grin, and out of the corner of her eye, she vaguely saw a corner of her sleeve, which disappeared in a flash.
She stopped abruptly.
Cihang Zhenren and the three deputy sect masters also stopped.
They were a little puzzled and didn't understand why Zhang Yuelu stopped.
Zhang Yuelu turned her head with difficulty and slowly, looking behind her.
She saw Cihang Zhenren, and also saw the three Deputy Sect Masters Dazhen, and then she also saw the other Pingzhang Dazhen, thirty-six Shenzhi Zhenren, and hundreds of real people.
Everyone looked at her in awe.
Except for the figure she wanted to see.
Is it a hallucination?
Cihang Zhenren asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Yuelu hesitated: "It's nothing." “
She turned her head away and continued towards the supreme place.
