Chapter 248: Demon Wandering Ancestor
The Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch urgently invited Zhong Lichun in, if it weren't for the fact that he was going to sit in the Chinese army, he would even have to greet him in person. Naturally, it is also because of Li Shan's mother.
I thought it was the master who had some instructions for him.
But he was surprised when he saw Zhong Lichun, but he knew that things didn't seem to be what he thought.
Ao Qing said beside him: "Please don't blame the Demon Marshal, it's not that Fairy Zhongli wants to see the marshal, but I have something and want to ask the marshal." ”
"Oh?"
The joy on the face of the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch gradually subsided, and he said, "That is the case, is that the Queen Mother has something to tell Yu XX?" However, I am ordered by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, as the so-called, will not be affected by the fate. Even if the mother has any instructions, it depends on the situation. ”
The sudden change in attitude made Ao Qing complain in his heart. This demon ancestor seems to be very arrogant.
Of course, this is also normal.
Moreover, Ao Qing carefully looked at this Demon Wandering Ancestor and found that the mana on his body was extremely profound, and not only that, but his body faintly exuded a powerful aura. It was a kind of sharp-edged "realm".
Vaguely, it seems to be beyond the level of "immortals". Although he has not reached the "holy" realm, he is probably only one step away.
This kind of realm reminds Ao Qing of his senior brother who is a woodcutter. It can be said that the Zhenwu Emperor in front of him, even if he is not as powerful as Senior Brother Woodcutter, I am afraid that there is not much difference.
In fact, it is in the realm of immortals, which can be called the "peak" existence. Compared with yourself, you have to be half a step stronger.
Among the immortals, the strongest Ao Qing has seen so far is tantamount to the woodcutter brother. Underneath it is this Demon Wandering Ancestor. Even the Emperor of Donghua is faintly weaker than the Demon Ancestor.
Of course, compared with the Queen Mother, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Bodhi Patriarch and others, it is still much worse.
Before Ao Qing could speak, Zhong Lichun suddenly asked next to him, "Are you really my senior brother?" ”
The Demon Wandering Patriarch was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "This, naturally. Although Master doesn't recognize me, I only recognize Ziqi Yuanjun as my mentor......"
Zhong Lichun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't Master mention you in the first place?" ”
A slight embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of the Demon Wandering Patriarch, and he said, "Master, she ...... Have no bottom. My sister hasn't heard of it, but it's normal. Later, I will say goodbye to Yuan Shi Tianzun and return to Nanbu Continent, when I will be by the master's side for a long time, and my sister will naturally get acquainted with me. ”
With these words, Ao Qing saw a lot of hidden secrets from them.
It seems that the relationship between the Nine Heavens Demon Ancestor and Li Shan's mother does not seem to be a very normal master-apprentice relationship. Even, it seems, is the feeling that the Demon Wandering Patriarch has been expelled from the division.
Even if it weren't, I'm afraid it wouldn't be far off.
Then again, it is true that Ao Qing's impression of Li Shan's mother is that he exclusively accepts female disciples, but he has never heard that Emperor Zhenwu is also his disciple.
However, in fact, in mythology, Ziqi Yuanjun is the incarnation of Li Shan's old mother, and he is also the great supernatural person who points out the Zhenwu Emperor.
The most famous allusion to "grinding an iron pestle into a needle" is naturally the allusion of the poet Li Bai Li Bai who used an iron pestle to sharpen a needle when he was a teenager, so he realized and studied diligently.
But in fact, in Taoist legends, this is about the Emperor Zhenwu.
There is a poem: If you want to turn into a turtle and a snake to give birth to a holy fetus, who can guess the slight meaning of Lishan. The pure steel is worn out one piece, and I don't believe that I can't open my eyes.
In addition, the Taoist scriptures such as "Xuantian Holy Emperor Sutra" and "Taishang Said Xuantian Great Sage True Martial Book Divine Mantra Sutra" are all recorded.
Wudang Mountain's "needle peak" and "grinding needle stone" are also related to the "grinding pestle into needle" of Emperor Zhenwu in his early years.
Moreover, the allusions of Li Bai and Emperor Zhenwu and the grinding needle can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to determine which came first.
Now it seems that the reason why Emperor Zhenwu will go to Taihe Mountain in Nanganbu Continent after retirement may also have a lot to do with Lishan's mother.
And Zhong Lichun also saw this. She then took advantage of the situation and said: "In this case, you can be more respectful to Ao Qinggongzi." Childe inherited Master's Lotus Lantern, and even Master praised him, and he also taught me a lot of things, which can be said to be no different from my brother. You are so arrogant, I have to tell Master when I go back! ”
"This ......" The Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch looked at Ao Qing, and the arrogance on his face immediately dissolved, and he hurriedly saluted: "I'm used to fighting outside, and I have no intention of being rude, so please don't be surprised by Prince Ao Qing." ”
Seeing this, Ao Qing immediately returned the salute: "Marshal Swinging Demon doesn't need such a big gift, Fairy Zhongli is just joking." I did receive the grace of Our Lady, but there was nothing to praise it. As for Fairy Zhongli, I am also good friends, so it is naturally normal to give you some advice. ”
The Demon Patriarch said: "Since the prince has inherited the Baolian Lamp, he must have something extraordinary, and he should receive this gift." ”
The verbal relationship between the two suddenly became much more familiar. Ao Qing was fortunate again, fortunately he brought Zhong Lichun.
However, Zhong Lichun's intelligence also impressed him again. The Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch is indeed very arrogant, and he didn't even give the Queen Mother face, and then think about "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong personally went to invite Emperor Zhenwu, but he was also refused. You must know that the Zhenwu Emperor at that time was obviously much gentler than the current Demon Patriarch, but he didn't give the Buddha face.
If Zhong Lichun hadn't been so clever this time, I'm afraid I would have really come for nothing.
After a while, the Demon Patriarch led Zhong Lichun and Ao Qing to the upper seat, poured a pot of tea, and made some snacks to serve. He poured a cup for Zhong Lichun, presented another cup to Ao Qing, and said, "The army is simple, there is nothing good, please ask the two generals to take a moment." ”
"The marshal is serious." Ao Qing took a sip of tea gently: "It's not a secret, Ao Qing came this time because he had an important matter to inform the marshal." The matter may also concern the marshal's subordinates. ”
The Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch said, "Oh? I don't know what's going on? ”
Ao Qing said: "Not long ago, I met the demon king Yu Tamarin King, captured her, from her mouth, but I heard that there is about to be a catastrophe in Beiju Luzhou......" Ao Qing said this.
"And that matter?"
The Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch frowned slightly: "Then sure enough, there is a formation in the mountain, and I have also heard about it." However, that formation was nothing to me, so I didn't care about it, but I didn't know that there was such a cause in it...... In this way, thank you Prince Ao Qing. The prince's benevolence is extraordinary, no wonder he can control the Baolian lantern. ”
Ao Qing deliberately came to tell him about this, but it impressed the Demon Patriarch.
"Still."
The Demon Patriarch changed his words and said, "This matter is just the words of the two demons. But it can't be taken seriously. ”
Ao Qing said: "The macaque king was born with a different species, but he has a unique method of calculation. If he has a hunch, he may not be able to believe it, but he must be careful. ”
The Demon Ancestor opened his mouth and was about to retort. But at this moment, the second general of the turtle and snake suddenly came in and said, "Marshal, the disciple of the Golden Que Yuchen Tianzun has ordered to visit!" ”
The Demon Patriarch's eyes moved slightly, and he got up and said, "Please!" After that, he looked at Ao Qing and Zhong Lichun, and said, "The two of you...... Yuchen Tianzun is afraid that there is something important about the military aircraft. I don't know if it'......"
Zhong Lichun said: "What is the important matter of the military aircraft?" Do you want to hide it from both of us? ”
"Don't dare to hide it. It's just this ......"
Ao Qing said: "Fairy Zhongli, this is where the battle array is, don't embarrass the marshal." ”
Zhong Lichun said, "Okay. ”
The Demon Wandering Patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Prince Ao Qing." Two can visit one or two in the army. ”
