Chapter 119: The Son of Heaven
The Big Dipper is connected with seven stars, the five elements are close to its heart, the palace is connected with the orb, the towering god tree, It is so arrogant and sad tonight, the bats in the night, every time they fly, covering the moonlight, the world is extremely dark, and there is nowhere to find the way.
That is, under such a sky, there is a city, which is increasing the number of troops, patrolling at night, greeting the people all the time, painting the generals, pasting them on the gate, destroying the devil, scattering the demonic energy, and begging for God's blessing all the time, so that their city can not be attacked and go down safely.
This city is very huge, it is the place where the true dragon of heaven lives in the world, and it is called the Heavenly Empire!
The Celestial Empire has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are countless houses, and it is the defense of this city, which can really be said to be seamless, even if it is a foreign fly, it must be approved by the soldiers before it can enter.
Looking at it from a high place, the Celestial Empire is brightly lit at the moment, its scenery, can be regarded as a beautiful word, there is a crescent moon flying and fluttering, tens of thousands of houses are dotted with stars and days, golden silver rings and red walls and soil, and the stone is built into a flat road.
Danyang has a fairy spirit, the cypress pine is planted with trees and willows on both banks, the stream passes through the stone to ask the fish, and the river is red on the east.
There is a lion dance in front of the fake stone mountain, the tiger lies in the depths of the grass, the flying dragon plays the dragon ball, and the double phoenix leaves the winter flames.
There are people coming and going in the middle of the road, soldiers and generals take weapons, spears and swords are held in their bodies, protect their families and defend the country and keep the peace, the fire on the Shuangmen City is bright, and the Son of Heaven in the deep palace is at ease, if there is an enemy sneak attack, the enemy will not come and go.
At this moment, the reason why the people and soldiers of the Celestial Empire are like this, because of the battle reports in front of them, the news of defeat comes all the time, which makes the Son of Heaven a little helpless and the people a little afraid!
Because of that war report, it is not a big state breaking through the defense line, nor is it a marshal who rebelled, let alone some mountain bandits who are strong and come to rebel, but a terrifying demon, a demon army, occupying the city and occupying people.
Who of them can accept it, the Celestial Empire's hundred years of performance, there has never been such a thing, if it is said that the big states came to attack, it is also said in the past, but it is a group of devils, in just a few years, they have broken through several cities of the Celestial Empire, which makes the Son of Heaven a little angry, but there is no way!
Who can win the battle against the demons?
But said that this night, as usual, the Son of Heaven did not do anything except to strengthen the guards of the Celestial Empire, and after discussing with the ministers to no avail, he went back to the dormitory, covered the quilt, and fell asleep as well.
The Son of Heaven is a dragon, the lord of the world, he has the people in his heart, he has the world, and he is peaceful, but not long after he slept, this palace immediately changed.
The red stone pillar, carved with a colorful tiger, the throne with nine dragons, suddenly a golden light appeared, directly on the tiger, actually made the tiger alive at once, jumping up and down, flying restless, arrogant, towards the Son of Heaven's bedroom and ran.
The Son of Heaven was sleeping, and when the tiger came to him, he did not hurt the Son of Heaven, but sniffed the body of the Son of Heaven with his nose, and then opened his bloody mouth, and tore the quilt in one bite, and in just a few minutes, it turned into a golden light, and it fell into the dream of the Son of Heaven.
As the saying goes, 'Dreams are thoughts of the heart, empty talk is an illusion!' But this day is different, after the colorful tiger entered his dream, this blank Civic suddenly appeared a scene, the Son of Heaven seemed to be real, walking in it, from time to time also boasting and praise, saying that this scenic place, why has not been to it before?
Praise is praise, but see the scenery around you, there is the green bamboo plugging high bank, cypress pine such as Penglai, wild flowers are fragrant, wild grass is green and secluded, there is a full glow of the sun, the stream is uneven, the mountain stone is placed on the ground like a copper platform, the swallow bird flock flies away to the south, pick up a broken bamboo, dance the sword and practice a good place.
The Son of Heaven walked forward alone, it was getting deeper and deeper, the green bamboo was getting thicker and thicker, his heart was somehow a little uneasy, so he stopped and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on." ”
The sound was so loud that the bird was startled, and the echo floated in the wind, but even so, no one came to the call, and he began to walk forward again, but he didn't take a few steps, and his legs were weak, and he stopped in shock, not knowing what to do.
I saw that in front of him, on a big rock not far away, there was a colorful tiger lying on it, and it also saw the Son of Heaven and stood up at this time.
Its body is dark yellow and red, its tail is thin and swaying, its claws are sharp and thick, like a man's arm, its body is fertile, it is as tall as a person, its forehead is angry, and it is marked by the word king.
The invention of the two-eyed essence, the high nose is terrifying, opening its mouth, like a big basin, closing its mouth, like a kitten, is taking a great step, rushing to the side of the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven saw the tiger moving towards him, how could he just stand and be eaten by it, although his legs and feet were weak and weak, and his face was frightened and sweaty, but he did not give up, turned around suddenly, and ran backwards in a panic, and kept shouting the word "help" in his mouth.
The tiger also refused to let go, seeing the Son of Heaven running in a panic, he immediately made a momentum, and kicked back violently with his hind paws, like a frightened small fish, and began to chase fiercely, and when chasing, he also crushed the bamboo and hit the pendulum stone far away, in order to catch up with the Son of Heaven and fill his stomach.
In this way, one is the Son of Heaven in the hearts of the people of the Celestial Empire, and the other is a fierce tiger in his heart, the Son of Heaven is running in front of him in a panic, and the tiger is chasing after him, the Son of Heaven shouts for help all the way, no one responds to the heart to bully, the tiger is happy to see the food, and the poor legs and feet are not in a hurry!
Suddenly, the Son of Heaven looked back in a panic, and saw that the tiger couldn't take five steps behind him, and he was so frightened that his feet were not right, and he fell directly to a stone, and he fell to the ground, and crawled backwards in pain.
Seeing this, the tiger seemed to be happy, stopped his steps, opened his mouth and fangs, made a domineering gesture, and walked towards the Son of Heaven, and then suddenly became vicious, his face opened wide, and he opened his mouth viciously, aimed at the head of the Son of Heaven, and wanted to bite it down.
The frightened Son of Heaven can be regarded as having lost his soul, and he is weak, and shouts to the sky: "Whoever saves the widow, I am willing to share half of the country." ”
This shout was really effective, and when the tiger's mouth was still half a foot away from the head of the Son of Heaven, a golden light came out from behind the tiger, beating the tiger bloody and the tiger peeled off its skin, roared and screamed, and died of exhaustion.
When the Son of Heaven saw this situation, he breathed a sigh of relief, he finally survived!
'Haha' laughed again, and today can be regarded as a surprise, so I straightened my body again, and then looked in front of him, and my eyes were full of gratitude.
In front of him, I saw a man, tall, two meters tall, wearing a gold, silver and purple shirt, holding a large gold seal, his eyes were slightly straight, his nose was a little long, and his ears were as long as an elephant, and he was very handsome.
The Son of Heaven got up and thanked him: "As the Son of Heaven, I should promise that I will be rescued by Gongzi today, and I will dedicate half of the country to thank Gongzi." ”
This man, when he heard the Son of Heaven say this, was shocked, the God who saved him was the blessing of the people, how could he ever want that half of the country!
That is, he said to the Son of Heaven: "There is a catastrophe in the world, and the ghost clan is dominant, how can I want that half of the country!" If the Son of Heaven needs it, one day, he will be blessed with the grace of God, kill ghosts on the battlefield, return the people to a peaceful world, and be a loyal minister for the Son of Heaven. ”
The Son of Heaven saw that this man was ambitious and loyal, and he was very grateful, and wanted to pull the man directly to the palace, but unexpectedly, he grabbed it with one hand, but he grabbed it empty, and then the man turned his real body and walked towards the outside of the forest. I'll go find you. ”
I saw that the man did not stop, nor did he turn around, and when he finished walking, he only left a poem, saying: "Looking at the clouds of the fairy mountain in the distance, and looking at the flow on both sides of the river." Bodhi has people who cultivate themselves, and Cheng destroys ghosts and comes to Yan Junsheng. With that, he disappeared.
The Son of Heaven memorized the verses, and suddenly saw another gust of wind, which blew him half away, and he was afraid, and suddenly remembered the man again, and cried out loudly: "Benefactor, benefactor! Just after this sentence, the Son of Heaven suddenly opened his eyes on the dragon bed in the dormitory.
He looked around, not the scene just now, and then he realized, it was just a dream!
But this dream, but it was a long night, now I thought it was morning, the martial arts of the South Hall, the Wenqu of the East Hall, and the ministers of all walks of life, seeing that the Son of Heaven did not come, and saw that the stone pillar tiger was gone, and felt that it was a strange thing, and they had already arrived at the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and they were waiting for the Son of Heaven to wake up.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was all right, they all knelt down and saluted: "Meet the Son of Heaven, long live, long live, long live." ”
When the Son of Heaven saw that the ministers had arrived at the palace, he got up and dressed the slaves, and said, "Get up, and whatever I will say when I go to the court." ”
All of these ministers thanked each other, they all got up, the back team changed into the front team, they all walked to the main hall, and let the Son of Heaven sit down, they all stood on both sides, and bowed again: "Long live the Son of Heaven, long live." ”
The Son of Heaven looked at the ministers in the hall, and everyone was discussing, and they all got up and asked, "Is there something to do today?" ”
Sure enough, the martial arts of the Nantang stood up and said to the Son of Heaven: "Son of Heaven, something strange happened in the palace today. ”
The Son of Heaven said: "What's the strange thing? ”
Wu De said: "On the left side of the palace, there is a stone pillar with a tiger on it, which is made of iron and gold. Unexpectedly, when I came to the temple today, I found that the tiger on the stone pillar seemed to be alive and disappeared. ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was all surprised, he just dreamed last night that a tiger could not eat him, but was killed, and today he will not see the stone pillar tiger, could it be that this dream was set up by Shinto, in order to tell me that there is a person who can fight against the demon army and live in the world?
Thinking of this, he was suddenly full of joy, in the past few days, in order to discuss how to fight the ghosts, but it has taken a lot of pain, and now that there are gods to help, why worry about ghosts?
But he didn't know where the man was, so he said to the ministers: "Creation, creation, this tiger disappeared, it is not surprising, the widow had a dream last night, and the tiger died in my dream." ”
After hearing this, the ministers were a little unconvinced, thinking that it was a joke told by the Son of Heaven, so he didn't think about it!
The Son of Heaven also saw what they meant, and some did not believe him, so he quieted down the ministers, and began to tell them the scene of the dream they had had the night before, and they really believed it.
Dongtang's Wenqu is a literati, and when he saw that the Son of Heaven said poetry, he became interested, and went out to salute: "Son of Heaven, the minister is willing to share your worries for you, explain the poem to you, and let the gods of the distant land come to you to protect the family and defend the country." ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was full of joy and said to Wenqu: "Tell me quickly, what is poetic." ”
Wenqu said: "This poem is a Tibetan poem, he said that he looked at the clouds of the fairy mountain from afar, and looked at the river on both sides of the river. I'm sure this means a mountain, and that mountain has the color of fairy clouds, so just mention the word mountain. And Bodhi has people who cultivate themselves, and Cheng destroys ghosts to come to Yan Junsheng. This means that there are people in the mountains who cultivate, and before he puts Bodhi in front of him, I can add a mountain character to it. There is Cheng in the latter sentence, but Cheng is a surname, which is taken out alone, and three words are apostrophe, that is, Yan. Therefore, the man should be on Bodhi Mountain, and his name should be Cheng Yan. ”
The Son of Heaven understood what he heard, and then thought of the man in the dream, who was indeed a talented man, and was overjoyed, and asked the ministers: "Who knows the Bodhi Mountain, who is willing to go to the Bodhi Mountain, please come in the future and break the momentum of the ghost army?" ”
After thinking for a long time, only among the ministers, a small general wearing a silver hexagram came out, and he said to the Son of Heaven: "Son of Heaven, I know where the Bodhi Mountain is, and I am willing to go there for the Son of Heaven, and the person who is looking for him will bring him here." ”
The Son of Heaven leaned forward and asked the general, "How do you know the location of Bodhi Mountain?" ”
The general said: "When I was young, because of many diseases, there was no cure, I heard that there were immortals in the mountain, my mother insisted on carrying it on the mountain, asking for medicine, met a monk, he was really powerful, saved my life, and saw that I had some bones, so I called to come to be a soldier, no, the monk said, I am really a good person now." ”
When the Son of Heaven heard this, his heart also had some longing, from childhood to adulthood, he had never seen the immortals, so he ordered: "General Chai, then it will be a pity for you to make a trip." If you see that Cheng Yan, pass on my heavenly metaphor, and order him to be the general of the Heavenly Dynasty, come to the court, exterminate the ghost soldiers, and return peace to the people. ”
The general received the order, said "Woo", and then turned around and walked out of the main hall towards the Bodhi Mountain.
When the Son of Heaven saw him go, he said "retreat" to the hundred ministers, and they all began to disperse, and the Son of Heaven also left the throne and went back to the palace to rest.
