Chapter 18: Goodbye Taiyi
Guilty of heaven? These words made Qiao Kun's face pale, his back cold, and cold sweat.
He said in his heart, I actually harmed the entire people of Chentangguan, and I have already been convicted by heaven. What the hell did I do?
Li Jing said again: "Senior nephew, you have been convicted by the sky, and disaster is not far away. I have burned down the palace and the temple, smashed the golden body, and I can save one or two. The voice was a little heartbroken.
Qiao Kun didn't know how he left the camp and how he returned to his room.
He was full of only the sentence "If you do the act of sealing the gods in vain, you will be punished by the sky, and the disaster will not be far away".
Up to now, he has only been practicing for more than ten years, and he has not experienced much, and his state of mind is not yet complete.
Suddenly hearing that he had been condemned to heaven, and that the disaster was not far away, he couldn't help but feel terrible, and the whole person was confused, only feeling that he was hesitant and helpless, weak and powerless.
The mind is also like falling into darkness, unable to find a way out, unable to find a direction.
But a little light in the darkness, weak but strong, never extinguished.
Qiao Kun's mind couldn't help but follow the light, but he saw that the thing was a disk, exuding a dim and soft light, and the shape was like the bright moon in the sky, but the light was even dimmer than the starlight.
Qiao Kun felt a sense of closeness and familiarity from it, this is me? This is my Genshin? Who am I?
Along with this philosophical question, he seemed to see the struggling baby, the child who tried to survive while comforting his brother, the boy who tried his best to feed himself and his brother, the boy who desperately used as bait just to feast on a full meal of meat when hunting, and a soul who was unwilling to compromise when the flames infused with the purple qi of the great sun.
Although the journey was hard, he was not tired of the world, and his heart was full of enthusiasm for life and love for life.
Because he relived his life, he loved life and loved life more than anyone else.
"This is me. How can I forget who I am? I am someone who wants to stay alive no matter what the odds are. ”
At this thought, from the dim moon to the brilliant sun, the primordial spirit emitted endless light, dispelling all the darkness. Qiao Kun's mind also returned.
Qiao Kun's mind returned, and he couldn't help but feel that his performance just now was really fragile.
In his previous life, there was still a great man who "had endless fun fighting with the sky", and he was actually frightened by the words "guilty of heaven".
But he excused himself again, he can't blame himself, who let this world really have immortals? What's more, he also implicated many innocent people.
Qiao Kun pondered and looked at Li Jing's words and deeds, it was not a lie to be convicted of Yutian.
It's right to think about it, even a few saints in charge of the sect need to borrow the god list, what virtue does he have, how can he be a god?
But Nezha's matter is different after all, this is planned by Taiyi Zhenren, and it may not be necessary to obtain the seal of Heavenly Court.
Qiao Kun still had a bit of luck.
Peace, peace, life must go on, even if I am sinned against heaven, I will also live.
He comforted himself, recited the "Pure Heart Sutra" a few times, still felt unstable in his heart, and recited the "Yuqing Yuan Tongjing Note 1" a few times, and sang praises to Yuan Shi Tianzun a few times before he calmed down.
Then he said in his heart, go see Nezha, Nezha is the most injured in this matter.
Qiao Kun immediately drove away and went straight to Cuiping Mountain.
didn't think of visiting Nezha at the first time, but was immersed in fear and worry about his own safety, which made him feel a little guilty about Nezha.
He now regards Nezha as a relative, although he was pitted for building Nezha's palace, so that he was punished by the sky, but he did not anger Nezha and resented Nezha.
At this time, he was diligent in his work, and he did not hesitate to consume mana, and he escaped faster, and he arrived at the Nezha Palace in Cuiping Mountain in an instant.
But seeing that the temple was gone, the mountains were red and the soil was red, the smoke and flames were not extinguished, and Nezha's golden body was shattered.
Qiao Kun looked around, only two of them were five short in stature, and the ghost with green faces and fangs was judged here, but he didn't see Nezha.
Qiao Kun had never seen these two ghost judges before, but he recognized their sculptures, so he naturally knew that they were Nezha's followers.
They also knew Qiao Kun, and they came to answer with tears in their eyes, calling him "big man".
Qiao Kun didn't bother to think about this title, pointed to the palace and asked, "Where is Nezha?" How so? ”
After asking these words, the two ghost judges were heartbroken, and a ghost judge with an obscene face replied: "This afternoon, Master Nezha was on a trip, and General Li of Chentangguan suddenly went up the mountain, and somehow, smashed the golden body of Master Nezha and burned down the palace. ”
Another ghost with an even more obscene face judged: "After the return of Master Nezha, we talked about it, and the old man said: 'I have nothing to do with you, and my flesh and blood are still with my parents, how can you beat my golden body, burn my officials, and make me have nowhere to live?'" Then he disappeared. ”
They spoke relatively clearly, letting Qiao Kun know the situation at that time.
Li Jing did talk about "burning down the palace and temples and smashing back the golden body", Qiao Kun didn't expect him to really do it.
But he also knew that he couldn't complain about Li Jing.
At the beginning, he also had the idea that if he found out that Nezha was an evil god, he would kill his relatives and push Nezha's golden body down.
It's just that he and Nezha gradually get along, getting closer and closer, and becoming less and less determined. On the contrary, it has a bit of the meaning of maintaining Nezha.
From this point of view, he is far inferior to Li Jing.
Then he wondered where Nezha went? After thinking about it, I felt that Nezha should still go to Qianyuan Mountain. After all, there is nowhere else to go.
Nezha has received incense for more than half a year, and he already has some physical and vocal mana, and he can travel, but he can't go far. Otherwise, Shinto will backfire.
But now that Nezha's temple and golden body have been destroyed, he doesn't have so many scruples.
Thinking of this, Qiao Kun sprinkled a handful of sand and soil, pinched the trick and transported the soil to Qianyuan Mountain.
Qianyuan Mountain is much farther away from Chentang Pass than Skull Mountain and Cuiping Mountain, and Qiao Kun transports the earth and does not save mana, and consumes a lot.
It's also thanks to his mana that he has improved a lot in the past half a year, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold up to Qianyuan Mountain.
It's okay to escape from the earth, but it's too mana to travel long distances, and he said in his heart, the dragon and tiger cloud boat, and the wind and the wind still have to learn one.
Not long after, he arrived at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain and saw a human figure, alone and alone, kneeling beside a cave.
This human form is none other than Nezha, but his expression is gloomy, and the original condensed divine body is a little thinner and illusory.
I don't know if this is because Nezha's palace was destroyed and his golden body was broken, or because Nezha left Cuiping Mountain without permission.
Qiao Kun asked carefully: "Nezha?" ”
Hearing Qiao Kun's words, Nezha raised his head, his face full of confusion, "Li Jing ruined my golden body, why did he do this to me?" Xu was so sad that he didn't even shout at his father.
At this time, Nezha was aggrieved and fragile, if he was still flesh and blood, I was afraid that he would have burst into tears.
was betrayed by his relatives, smashed his golden body, and the Shinto counterattacked, feeling the divine body dissipate little by little, and finally the consciousness was gone, Nezha must be very painful.
It's just that he is a god, so he can't even cry and vent.
Qiao Kun looked at Nezha's expression, and became more and more unbearable, so he hugged Nezha and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, everything has me."
He also knew that Li Jing had done nothing wrong, and he was the one who was at fault, but he didn't want to care about right or wrong, he just wanted to save Nezha, after all, Nezha was his younger brother.
"Hmm." Nezha responded, not much to say.
Qiao Kun asked again: "What did Taiyi Zhenren say?" ”
"I didn't see Master, Master was trapped at the bottom of the mountain, there is a ban here, last time I was able to go in, but now I can't get in."
It turned out that Nezha was forbidden and stopped outside.
Qiao Kun stood up and stretched out his hand, but passed through without hindrance. It seems that it is forbidden here, only immortals and gods.
He sighed in his heart, although I have practice, I am still a mortal.
"Don't worry, I've got you." Qiao Kun touched Nezha's head and walked into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and Qiao Kun summoned the forbidden talisman to illuminate.
The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and there are more ways to cut off, and Qiao Kun spent a lot of effort to get there.
After walking for a hundred feet, it was bright in front of me, but I entered a house.
It's just that Qiao Kun was also blocked by an invisible wall, and he couldn't walk anymore.
The tables, chairs, beds, and futons in the room are all available, and Taiyi Zhenren is reading here, very leisurely.
Qiao Kun said in his heart, fortunately, he was not pressed under the mountain like Sun Wukong, embarrassed.
In that case, after Taiyi Zhenren comes out, he may use his hands to kill him.
Seeing someone coming, Taiyi Zhenren put down his book and looked up, "You weren't the person who was by the rocks that day?" ”
I can't carry this pot, Qiao Kun was busy explaining the scene of the day to Taiyi Zhenren.
He was just a grain officer in Chentangguan, and he followed Li Jing and his son to the White Bone Cave that day, and was misunderstood by Shiji for blocking Nezha, and was put in his sleeve.
Taiyi Zhenren nodded, didn't care about it anymore, just asked him, "Then why are you here?" ”
Qiao Kun hurriedly told Taiyi Zhenren about the recent situation that happened to Nezha.
Hearing that Nezha's golden body was shattered and the temple was destroyed, Taiyi Zhenren sighed and said: "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter." ”
"Isn't there anything real people can do about it?" Qiao Kun is a little anxious, so what about Nezha?
Taiyi Zhenren: "There is a Yaochi Immortal Lotus cultivated by me in the Five Lotus Ponds in the back mountain, if my mana is still there at this time, I can refine it into a lotus incarnation for Nezha." It's just that now it's not possible. ”
Qiao Kun said in his heart: If your solution is to be a lotus incarnation, then it will be difficult. Even if the mana is still there, the five lotus ponds have been emptied of Shiji.
Taiyi Zhenren said again: "Now I can only go to the Jade Pillar Cave of Zhongnan Mountain to ask my Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi for help." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Kun was a little relieved that there was the best way to do it. In the end, he really couldn't, he could still go and ask Shiji for help.
But he thought it was best not to have anything to do with Shi Ji in this matter.
He wasn't afraid that Shi Ji would say anything like the same fate as a mandarin duck. He was thinking about Nezha.
After all, Nezha is the third generation disciple of the exposition, if he is resurrected by Shiji, in the future, the exposition and the interception of the sect will be disputed, and Nezha will be in a dilemma.
No matter how you choose, you are ungrateful.
Yun Zhongzi is a person in the teaching, so he does not have such concerns.
