Chapter 43: The Bell Rings in Zixiao Palace
In the Three Realms, there is a shout, and all things are competing, just for that glimmer of life.
And in the entire Three Realms, there is only one place that has escaped from all disputes, and this place is called Zixiao Palace.
In Zixiao Palace, there was a quiet, only a Taoist child, holding a glazed golden pestle in his hand, pacing and slowly walking outside the door of Zixiao Palace. Outside the door is a square, with a floor made of multicolored stones, surrounded by nine heavenly clouds woven into a brocade, and tables and chairs made of Shaoze Lei Yu.
At the end of the square, there is a quaint giant bell, made of the copper of the earth void that only existed in the flood era, and the history of the entire Three Realms is carved on it. The boy came to the bell with a glazed gold pestle in his hand, and then raised the golden pestle and began to ring the bell.
When a bell rang, it didn't seem loud, but it was not for mortals, but for saints.
The second bell rang
After a total of nine bells rang, the boy slowly put away the glazed golden pestle and walked into the Zixiao Palace with pace.
"Qi Dao Ancestor, the nine bells have been ringed. The boy whispered towards the Zixiao Palace.
A yawning voice came from Zixiao Palace, which seemed to be a little lazy: "Oh? It's time so soon? True, I haven't slept enough." ”
"That's it, let's get things sorted out first. ”
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
"The bell is ringing. An ethereal voice came from within the Jade Void Palace.
In the entire Jade Void Palace, all the exposition disciples clasped their hands together and said silently: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
Then in the sky above the Jade Void Palace, a five-colored auspicious cloud appeared, and this five-colored auspicious cloud fluttered, with infinite fairy music, accompanied by the emergence of all things in the world. The disciples of the exposition sect all know that this is the Heavenly Qingyun of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and as soon as the Zhu Tian Qingyun comes out, that is, the Yuan Shi Tianzun is leaving the Jade Void Palace
Nanzhan Buzhou, a small town in the territory of the Great Han Kingdom.
There is a lot of traffic here, there are vendors with loads of goods hawking along the streets, fat merchants in brocade clothes wandering around, occasionally being targeted by three or two naughty boys, and accidentally touching the money bag around their waists.
The guests upstairs were full, Xiao Er wiped the sweat on his forehead, and was called by the guests, so he was not busy.
"That little er, why is there a beggar here?" a guest frowned and shouted, "You shop is so uneducated, you actually let a beggar sit on the balcony." ”
The little second hurriedly came over and explained: "Objectively, it's no wonder, this beggar is not an ordinary person, but a friend of the owner of our Drunken Immortal Building. This beggar was allowed to drink and eat in the Drunken Immortal Building, and he could not be charged half a penny. ”
"Is there such a strange thing?" said the guest, somewhat surprised, as he looked at the beggar in the corner.
The beggar, dressed in tattered clothes, with a messy beard on his chin, sleepy-eyed, and his mouth full of wine, looked more like a down-and-out drunkard.
Strangely enough, though, the beggar still had four worn-out rusty swords hanging from his waist, seemingly unused for a long time, covered in dust and cobwebs. The beggar holds a wine gourd in one hand, and the other hand is forever on the sword, and the hand holding the sword has a thick callus.
"Oh, the bell is ringing?" said the drunkard beggar suddenly, and then slowly stood up.
"Xiao Er, bring me a pot of wine, and ask for aged bamboo leaves. The drunkard beggar shouted a word to Xiao Er. The little two shook his head secretly, took a pot of aged bamboo leaves from the counter, and handed it to the beggar.
The beggar was not polite at all, took the wine jug, poured the wine into his gourd, and then threw the wine jug to Xiao Er, and walked down the drunken immortal building with a swagger.
"Tell you, the master of the Drunken Immortal Tower, your wine is not bad. The drunkard beggar smiled at Xiao Er before leaving, "I'm going to see a few old friends, and I'll come back later." ”
The little two were stunned: "Where are you going to meet your friends?"
"Zixiao Palace. The drunkard beggar uttered three words and walked away without looking back
In the Tushi Heavenly Palace, the gold and silver boy wore a formal suit and accompanied the Grand Master of Xuandu.
"The two of you are optimistic about the Tushi Heavenly Palace, and I will go to Zixiao Palace with Master Shizun. Archmage Xuandu said to the two boys. The gold and silver boy arched his hand and said, "Yes, second master." ”
Then the Xuandu Grand Master stepped on the auspicious clouds and came to the depths of the Tushi Heavenly Palace. In the depths of this Tushi Heavenly Palace, there is a pine forest, and there is a clear stream beside it, and there is a green ox lying under a big willow tree by the stream, napping.
Archmage Xuandu stepped forward, led the green ox, and then walked into the pine forest. There was a hut in the woods, made of pine wood.
"Master, it's time to travel. ”
Western Elysium.
A large river flows down from the top of the Ling Mountain, this river is about eight or nine miles wide, the waves are not prosperous, and it flows quietly.
In the middle of the river, there is a single-plank bridge, and there is a stone tablet on the side of the single-plank bridge, on which the words "Lingyundu" are written. A flat boat slowly floated over the river and stopped next to this Lingyundu.
There is a monk on the boat, an old monk who is extremely old and describes the withered old monk. There was no fluctuation of mana on this old monk's body, there was not the slightest trace of fireworks, and the whole person was extremely quiet, as if he was the same as heaven and earth.
On the Lingshan Mountain not far away, a monk walked down slowly. This monk looks very young, the contours of his face are as clear as a knife, and his sword eyebrows are starry, and there is no doubt that he is a handsome monk who overwhelms all beings.
"Amitabha. The young monk walked up to the old monk and bowed, "Senior brother, the bell is ringing." ”
"I know it. The old monk slowly opened his eyes, which were cloudy, as if they had been soaked in tears for too long, trapped by compassion for too long, so they were no longer clear
Above Zixiao Palace, a drunkard holding a wine gourd and hanging four worn iron swords from his waist, wearing tattered clothes like beggars, slowly walked into the Zixiao Palace Square.
He casually found a place in the square and sat down, put the wine gourd in front of him at random, and actually dozed off.
"Senior brother, this is Zixiao Palace, why are you so out of shape?" a majestic voice came from above Zixiao Palace.
The five-colored auspicious clouds slowly fell, and a Taoist in a white robe walked down. This man's beard is white, there is endless majesty in his eyes, and the whole body is full of majestic taste, majestic eyes, majestic mouth, majestic nose, majestic eyebrows seem to be the whole heaven and earth, controlled by his order, and will be suppressed by his majesty.
The drunkard beggar stretched his waist, yawned, shrugged his shoulders, and said slowly: "I said second senior brother, is it necessary? You have your majesty, and I have my freedom." You think I'm out of shape because you have a state, and I'm out of shape, so why do I lose my shape?"
"Amitabha, the benefactor of Tongtian deeply understands the principles of Buddhism, and the poor monks are impressed. An old voice sounded, and the old monk with cloudy eyes sat on the twelve-rank lotus platform and walked into the venue of Zixiao Palace. Beside him, there was also the handsome young monk.
"Amitabha, I have seen the benefactor of the Yuan Shi Tianzun. The old monk bowed to the majestic Yuan Shi Tianzun.
"Zhun Ti has seen Yuan Shi Tianzun. The young monk also saluted.
Yuan Shi Tianzun replied: "No need to be polite. ”
The Buddha was about to bow beyond the drunkard beggar, but the drunkard beggar laughed and said, "I said that you are always like this? If you salute, is it polite? If you don't salute, there is no courtesy? I don't want your courtesy." With that, he simply stood up and flashed aside.
"Amitabha, the Buddha nature of the benefactor is profound, and the poor monk sighs to himself. The Buddha sighed.
"Don't put a high hat on me, I'm not like my second brother. If you want to praise him, praise him!" the drunkard Tongtian Sect Master shrugged casually.
Yuan Shi Tianzun on the side glanced at the Tongtian Sect Master and did not speak.
"Everyone, have you arrived?" a voice that was so flat that there was no smoke and fireworks, Lao Tzu was too old and came with a green ox.
Taishang Laojun doesn't look special at all, ordinary face, ordinary people, everything is so ordinary.
"Ahem, the five of you are here. Hongjun Daoren's voice came from within Zixiao Palace, "Really, the saints are becoming more and more disobedient now, I have hit nine bells, and only the five of you have come." ”
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business. ”
"Presumably, several of you saints have calculated the heavenly opportunity, and the Heaven and Earth Tribulation will begin in five hundred years, right? Of course, I have to decide what kind of great tribulation method this great tribulation is, and as for the luck between heaven and earth, it must also be divided in this great tribulation. ”
"Originally, I wanted to be a god like last time, but I suddenly thought of a new way to play, and I plan to combine the people who should be robbed this time and make it an interesting combination. By the way, I also changed the god list, you can see it at a glance. ”
As he spoke, a golden list floated out of the Zixiao Palace, on which eighty-one squares were divided into ninety-nine numbers.
"There are ninety-nine eighty-one squares in total, and each square represents a calamity. ”
"This time the catastrophe of heaven and earth is like this, the five people who should be robbed started the road to the west, starting from the Son of Heaven City in Nanzhan Buzhou, following the traces of the axe of Pangu Kaitian, and going to Lingshan to take the west meridian. ”
As soon as Hongjun Daoist said this, the saints immediately began to pinch their fingers, and immediately understood what was going on. When Pangu opened the sky and the flood was born, the traces of the opening axe were just starting from Chang'an, the city of the Son of Heaven in Nanzhan Buzhou, and ending at Lingshan in Xiniuhezhou.
"The group has to go through ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, and each difficulty will be recorded on this Journey to the West list. Anyone who participates in the Journey to the West, no matter where they are, will give their sect and race a piece of luck. The luck of heaven and earth will be divided on the basis of Journey to the West. ”
"Everything else, I think you can figure it out for yourselves. There are still 500 years before the Journey to the West, and these 500 years will be left to you to lay out. ”
"The rules are still the same, once the Journey to the West starts, a few of you can't make another move, once you do, don't blame me for taking action personally." What is the result of my shot, Tongtian, Yuanshi, you should know the Tao. ”
"As for those who should be robbed, I will send someone to inform them. ”
"There are a total of five people who should be robbed this time, namely the Demon Clan's Futian Great Sage Rekton, the Monkey King of the Flood Ancient Clan, the Marshal of the Immortal Clan, the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea of the Mortal Spirit Clan, and the reincarnated Buddhist disciple Jin Chanzi. ”
