Chapter 693: Asking the Heavenly Emperor to Abdicate
There are few high mountains in the Central Plains, and even the Yunding Immortal Mountain in Pingzhou is not as high as those snow-capped mountains in the west that accumulate thousands of autumns of snow at every turn. Dingshan is relatively high, and if it is not compared with the snow-capped mountains that Song You once climbed in the west, it is also a difficult mountain to climb.
The difficulty of climbing here means that it will be very difficult for people with weak bodies to climb up, after all, it still takes half a day, and if the body is better, there will not be many challenges.
However, coolies can be hired.
It doesn't take much money to get two men who are good at enduring hardships to carry you up.
Because it is a cold winter, the snow on the top of the mountain, I heard that the deepest part can reach the knee, it is very cold, and the ice and snow make the mountain road slippery and difficult to walk, and the stairs become dangerous.
I don't know if there are other forks in the mountain or many people who climb the mountain choose to give up halfway up, and the more they go up, the fewer people there are.
On the contrary, there were a few people at the top of the mountain.
It was a couple of literati, dressed thickly, with seemingly good physical fitness, and some with swords at their waists.
After arriving at the top of the mountain, I didn't dare to spend the night here, so I had to walk around the top of the mountain, enjoy the scenery covered in silver, talk about the strange things of the gods driving cranes to lock the mountain with the fog before, and chant a few verses of poetry with bad rhyme on the vast scenery when the interest came, and finally picked up a few small broken stones on the mountain and put them on, and then went down the mountain.
By the afternoon, Song You was the only one left on the top of the mountain.
The ground was covered with snow, and the Taoist walked with a cane, one step at a time, and his breath turned white.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain, Song You stopped, looked around left and right, closed his eyes and sensed carefully, the charm of heaven and earth, the landscape and the road to heaven in the dark were all around him.
This time is still different from the last time-
The last time I came here, although I already knew a lot about the principles and mysteries of the way to heaven, I could barely be considered familiar with it, but after all, it had nothing to do with me. Now that I am here again, this road to heaven has been readjusted by myself, not only with my own back, but also with my own traces everywhere.
The Taoist just stretched out his hand a little.
"Hum~"
There was a mysterious hum between heaven and earth.
In the dark, the heavens and the earth moved, the Great Dao responded, and the connection between the human world and the heavenly palace was opened.
"Boom ......"
There was a pillar of light descending from the heavenly palace, as if the sun was overhead, and only a hole was broken in the clouds, and a beam of light leaked and hit the top of the mountain.
The palace tower looms in the sky.
The scene is basically the same as when I watched the gods ascend to heaven on Venerable Mountain, and what is missing is the ethereal fairy music floating from the sky, the light dust sprinkled and the priest crane who came to receive it.
Naturally, no one came to pick up Song You.
Song You doesn't need someone to pick him up.
“……”
The Taoist lowered his head and patted it, cleared the snow from his feet, shook off the dust of the mortal world, and took one step to walk into the pillar of light.
The light in front of him suddenly brightened brightly, and even the outside world became blurred, and in this dazzling light, the figure of the Taoist quickly rose to the top of the clouds.
It's the clouds, but it's not.
The biggest difference is that the clouds here are really condensed into entities, and they look up from afar on the ground, but they don't disperse into fog when they get close, and they become ethereal and illusory.
"It's wonderful."
The Taoist couldn't help but smile.
The greatest beauty is that it has become what mortals imagine when they look up.
There was a door in the middle of the white clouds.
A lonely door, as if carved from the best white jade in the world, is ancient and magnificent.
There were two more generals guarding the door.
"Who is here......
The two heavenly generals looked at Song You, their eyebrows were raised at first, then they were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and then continued to ask: "Why hasn't the road to heaven been opened yet, and the respected driver can also reach the sky?" ”
"I've seen two door gods." Song You saluted first, and then replied, "I have my own way to do it." ”
“……”
“……”
The two generals looked at each other again.
"This is the Heavenly Palace Heavenly Gate, it is already the Heavenly Palace and the Earth Realm, and only gods can come here, not a place where mortals can go." The heavenly general on the left said, "If you can get here, you naturally have great skills and great creation, but we can't easily let you go in, you have to ask what happened to the emperor, and go in to report to the emperor." ”
"The Emperor of Heaven is not virtuous or benevolent, violates the rules of heaven, and causes chaos in the world.
“……”
The two generals were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other again.
The guess in their hearts was confirmed, but it was still different from what they originally thought-
More than two hundred years ago, the Emperor of Heaven also had a change, but at that time it was completely different from this time, and the people of Fuyang Dao had never ascended to the Heavenly Palace.
The last change of the Heavenly Palace was accompanied by the change of the human dynasty, and the change of the Heavenly Emperor was also from the bottom up, from the human world to the Heavenly Palace. When there is no one in the world to worship the previous Emperor, and everyone recognizes and believes in the current Emperor, the previous Emperor naturally disappears, and now the Emperor takes his place. So this process has been going on for many years.
The two heavenly generals had already heard the news that the Four Saints of the Quartet had been defeated, the Heavenly Emperor was panicked, and the Heavenly Palace might change hands again, but they originally thought that this process should be the same as the last time, but they didn't expect that this Taoist actually embarked on the road to heaven with a mortal body, obviously not a god body, but came to the Heavenly Palace.
It's just that things of this level are too far away from their two little goalkeepers.
"The Emperor of Heaven has been unvirtuous for a long time, and the world has suffered for a long time." Song parade saluted, "Please let me in." ”
“……”
There was a bang.
The armor on one of the heavenly generals shook and rubbed a sound, but he took a step to the side to open the heavenly gate.
The other general was full of hesitation.
"Ben will go to heaven as a god for 800 years, and guard the gate of heaven for 500 years...... Even if you don't respect the orders of the Heavenly Emperor, it is a rule not to allow demons, demons, monsters, and monks and earth gods to enter the Heavenly Palace......"
"Understood."
The Taoist nodded, still respectful.
Then he waved his robe and shot out a spiritual light.
The aura seems to be ordinary, but it has the power to push the mountains and catch up with the sea, and it is not difficult for the heavens to be difficult at all.
"Boom!"
The heavenly general was caught off guard and didn't seem to be prepared for it, and the figure was directly sent out and entered the gate of heaven, and disappeared in an instant.
The other general stood in place, not moving.
The Taoist saluted him, thanked him, and then walked alone into the gate of heaven.
“……”
The scene changes in an instant.
Inside the Gate of Heaven is a vast and shocking fairyland. The white clouds are spread all over the feet, extending to the edge of the sky, the white clouds are flat as a whole, there are often tumbling ups and downs on the top, like waves, occasionally you can see a few hollows or gaps, you can vaguely see the nether landscape, the sky is countless floating islands, the islands are surrounded by white clouds, the chains are connected, the cranes fly and sing in the middle, many exquisite and classical palaces and pavilions are built on it, and the sound of fairy music can be faintly heard.
And there's a layer of clouds just above that.
The clouds of Tiangong are layered.
The clouds in the world are sometimes layer by layer, and after passing through, you can see the clouds spreading out in the sky, like a layer of cloth, but it is far less than the number of clouds in the heavenly palace.
The clouds of the Heavenly Palace are also thin and thick, just like the top of the head at this time, the height of these palaces and pavilions and the floating fairy island is also inconsistent, the height is staggered, if you see a layer of scattered clouds, it is probably a small layer, if you see a thick cloud that is enough to obscure the sight, it is a large layer.
There are always thirty-six layers of such clouds, which are also called thirty-six heavens.
The thirty-six heavens are divided into the lower nine, the middle nine, and the upper nine. The lower nine are mostly small gods and new gods, which are convenient for docking with the nether world, and the earth gods are ordered to live here, and the middle nine lives mostly are priests and generals, who are responsible for overall planning and management, and some idle ancient gods and great gods also live here, and the upper nine is the place where the gods of the heavenly palace, the decision-making level and the gods with great magical powers and great mana live and cultivate, and the general gods cannot easily enter.
Each layer is separated by thin clouds, and every ninth layer is separated by thick clouds.
The highest heavenly name is Da Luo Tian, and the Lingyun Treasure Hall where the Emperor of Heaven is located is here, and the immortals who can serve here and live here are called Da Luo Immortals, in order to show their dignity.
Therefore, the Daluo Immortal is not related to the mana of Taoism, but an explanation of identity, official position and inheritance.
Song You saw the heavenly general just now-
Far away from the gate of heaven, an immortal island was punched out of a huge pit, and under the pit was a white cloud, which could withstand the immortals, and this heavenly general was lying in the white clouds.
"Offending ......"
The Taoist whispered.
Looking up, he looked up, the immortal islands and the clouds of the high sky, lowered his head and looked around, and stretched out his hand to point to the white clouds beside him.
“……”
Silently, the white clouds split up and floated in front of the Taoist.
The Taoist took a step forward and stepped on the white clouds.
"......"
Bai Yun suddenly moved, rode the wind, dragged a long tail, and led the Taoist through the immortal islands and palaces, and flew obliquely to the higher heavens.
The lower ninefold immortals slowly panicked at this time.
I don't know how many palaces I passed, I went up from the middle of the cloud cave, and soon flew through the Nine Heavens, and then passed through the thick clouds above, as if I had squeezed into a layer of cotton flying, and even the clouds were knocked open into a hole with the passage of the Taoist, stirring up some cloud flowers, which dissipated in the air.
The Taoist thought it was interesting and kept all the way, but turned his head to look behind him.
There was a wind in the sky, blowing the clouds, and the cloud hole that the Taoist knocked out slowly flattened.
Seeing the Taoist flying straight up, I don't know whether to see that the Taoist is not an immortal but a mortal, or that flying like this does not conform to the rules of the Heavenly Palace Immortals, they all cast their eyes on him, and some will come to stop and ask.
It's just that as soon as he heard the Taoist's surname Song Mingyou and the three words Fulongguan, he either left hurriedly and avoided it, or bowed his hand and showed him the way.
and the Nine Heavens.
Finally, some familiar faces can often be seen in the Nine Heavens.
For example, the chief officer of the Eight Righteous Gods lives in the Twenty-Eight Heavens, and the Huoyang True Monarch and his disciples live in the Thirty-Fourth Heavens, and the Thirty-two and Thirty-five Heavens are almost empty, because one of them is the place of cultivation of the Heavenly Bell Ancient God, and the other is the place of cultivation of the Four Directions and Four Saints, and there are still some disciples left of the Heavenly Bell Ancient God, and there is nothing left in the Thirty-five Heavens.
The Taoist went all the way up to the heavens of Daluo.
At this time, the Emperor of Heaven had already received the news and summoned many gods and generals in Daluo Tianzhong, and there were also many heavenly soldiers, all of whom were holding divine weapons and magic weapons, intending to stop the Taoists.
The Taoist came on a cloud, and as soon as he landed, this small white cloud was blown away by the wind.
Then take a look at this group of priests and generals.
It seems that there are many gods and many people, but if you take a closer look, these gods are not established at all, I am afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will transfer some from here, invite a few from there, and transfer all the forces that he can mobilize here, which is very messy in itself, coupled with the hesitation or vigilance on the faces of these gods and generals, the combat power is very doubtful.
"Why did Fulongguan Contemporary come here?"
The voice floated in the distance, but it was still majestic and calm, echoing in the fairy island and the palace pavilion.
With the voice, many Divine Officers and Heavenly Generals became nervous.
"Please ask the Emperor of Heaven to abdicate when I come down."
The Taoist did not give up, and said truthfully.
