Chapter 2: The Storyteller
The visitors were still reminiscing about Fang Cai's dance, and they were happy with each other: "What a wonderful performance, how many times can I see you in the world!" ”
Just when everyone was talking to each other, a young woman wearing a long red dress with water jade hanging from her waist walked on the stage, she was wearing a golden hairpin, and a few round gold leaves fell on it, compared to the "fairies" just now, this woman was even more amazing. Her temples and green silk seem to be full of tenderness, her face is better than peach blossoms, and her red lips like Danxia make her mouth relish, and she walks like a flower falling silently but eye-catching.
The woman smiled, "Welcome to Xinghualou, I think everyone liked the performance just now." ”
She speaks eloquently and comfortably.
The woman smiled: "Today is a good day, the whole world celebrates, the emperor will hold a major ceremony on this day every ten years, and this year the whole country will be exempted from half of the tax." Here, the little woman I am ashamed to say that I want to emulate the emperor's virtue, and in the next seven days, all the guests who consume will be halved. ”
The guests all applauded loudly, and some people also praised: "Xinghualou is worthy of being a famous building through the ages, no wonder it has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years, and it is still as stable as Mount Tai is incomparable, because they will always consider the problem from the perspective of the country, and they will also open the door to some people who have no money and power." Like those begging on the streets, ordinary people, and foreign people, although they don't spend a penny, they are still as welcome as those who wear gold and silver and are in high power, and the situation of such a big pattern is convincing! ”
The woman then smiled and said, "Everyone eat and drink well, and then let our storyteller tell you the last paragraph." ”
He turned around and left with a smile, and everyone's eyes gradually turned back with the woman's departure.
After a while, I saw a young man in a pink robe walking up, his black hair was simply tied with a blue and white headband. His appearance is beautiful and elegant, his eyes are warm and affectionate, and he is holding a branch of apricot blossoms that seems to have just been broken, and there are five or six angry apricot blossoms on it, giving people a feeling of being a handsome son.
His name is Wu Junyan, but few people know his name, and everyone usually calls him Mr. When he came to the stage, several people behind him immediately placed a table, chair and bench in front of him, and then placed tea and a smooth piece of wood on it.
Wu Junyan nodded at them, and those people slowly retreated. Wu Junyan sat down leisurely, picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip slowly, the corners of his eyes suddenly relaxed, revealing a cute smile.
Wu Junyan did this slowly, but no one in the audience urged him to start quickly, because this is the rule that has not changed since he started telling stories on the first day of Xinghualou, and sometimes the time for drinking tea is longer than the time he has been talking about. At first, some people were unhappy, they felt that this person acted in his own way, not at all like a storyteller, and let them, the old lady, the young lady, the young lady and the young lady wait dryly, which made people very uncomfortable. And he still looks so young, how can he look like a storyteller, he is clearly a little white face, this is the comment of many visitors before. But these commentators did not include the women, who were full of joy when they saw Wu Junyan, and all of them seemed less reserved, and often shushed him for warmth. But those people are not happy and can't, because he can do this, which is what the proprietress of Xinghualou meant, which makes them have to endure it.
Let's not talk about the origin of the proprietress Hua Jingyi, just because she is the current owner of Xinghualou, it is enough for those people not to dare to think about it for half a point.
Although Wu Junyan acts in an eclectic manner, his ability to tell books is still very admirable, he knows astronomy and geography, he knows 100,000 years ago, and the future is today, it can be said that he knows everything and speaks everything.
After Wu Junyan drank a cup of tea, his face became more shiny, he stood up, clasped his fists around and smiled: "Let you wait for a long time, you have such a preference on weekdays." ”
Everyone also returned the salute to him, which was everyone's respect for him.
Someone said: "Mr. is familiar with the ancient and modern, the words are thousands of paintings, full of fun, let me know the ancient powerful immortals, which makes people fascinated for a long time, and if you don't listen to it every other day, you can't stop it!" ”
After others said it, they only listened to the shocking wood and saw Wu Junyan say in high spirits: "Have you ever seen a sword break the galaxy, a punch to break the nine abysses, a big battle out of the sun and the moon without light, the heaven and the earth shake ......"
Then he slowly closed his eyes, as if looking back on the past, and slowly opened his eyes and said, "Let's talk about the battle between immortals and demons 100,000 years ago...... Yaoguang Shangxian, Fuxi Shangxian, Taiyuan Shangxian, Xihua Shangxian, Lechuan Shangxian, Luoshen Shangxian, Sinan Shangxian, Yeyou Shangxian, Huaxian Shangxian, Ziye Shangxian, and the Streamer Shangxian with all the hundred immortals and many geniuses who have not yet entered the fairyland, fight against the Origin Demon Immortal and its ten protector demon generals......"
Wu Junyan seemed to be holding a history book and put out a large list of ancient immortal names one by one, and when he said each immortal name, he seemed so incomparably respectful and admired, and when he said Hua Xian Shangxian, he unconsciously paused, and his eyes seemed to become blurred.
At this time, everyone in the building listened very attentively, and only Wu Junyan's voice was echoing in the restaurant. Wu Junyan added another cup of steaming tea to himself, drank it by himself, only took two sips and put it down again, squinting and looking at the audience, "Do you know who lost and who won that battle?" ”
A little boy shouted happily: "I know, it must be the immortals who won, and they must have won when they beat a few demon immortals with more than a hundred immortals!" It's like one child can't beat ten children! ”
Wu Junyan laughed and said, "The son can be taught." ”
The little boy grinned triumphantly and looked up at his companions in disgust.
But a child's mind is beautiful after all, but the truth is not so natural.
Wu Junyan showed a look of regret and sighed: "It's the immortals who won, but not all of them. ”
Of course, the children could not understand what he was saying, but were full of doubts.
Wu Junyan continued: "That war was fought for a hundred years, and all the living beings in the world were tormented during these hundred years. Even though there are many immortals on our side, dealing with one demon immortal and his ten demon generals is a situation of nine deaths......"
Wu Junyan frowned and said angrily: "Why am I so hostile? Because he is the Origin Demon Immortal, conceived in chaos, born at the beginning of heaven and earth, born as a demon and an immortal, he alone makes the eleven heads of the hundred immortals have no time to take care of others. And these ten demon generals have already ascended to the Immortal Realm early, and the lowest realm of them is also the Three Immortal Seals......"
The crowd listened intently.
As he spoke, Wu Junyan looked up at the apricot blossom tree above his head, with a look in his eyes that no one could see, and after a long time, he continued: "I don't know that there are eleven levels in the realm of immortals, and those who reach the six immortal seals are entering the realm of immortals, and the people of immortals are enough to match many immortals who are not in the realm of immortals, and you must know that the difference between the realm is like the difference between heaven and earth!" And the Origin Demon Immortal is a powerful existence beyond the realm of immortals, its strength is unknown, and it is said that this realm is called the Immortal Realm! ”
The crowd then held their breath and fell silent.
"And our eleven immortals are all in the realm of eight immortal seals and above, among which the Yaoguang Immortal and the Streamer Immortal are the supreme existence of the eleven immortal seals, even so, they are still extremely difficult and dangerous in the face of the Origin Demon Immortal. The Origin Demon Immortal possessed the chaotic power of the beginning of heaven and earth, and with this huge power, he finally let the eleven immortals and soldiers destroy all the immortal soldiers, but they still couldn't defeat him. And the other hundred immortal families have also run out of lamps, and many people have died......"
The expressions of the crowd also darkened.
Wu Junyan's expression was the same at this time, but his voice became more solemn, "What is infuriating is that almost all those handsome people who have not entered the fairy realm have died in battle, and there are corpses that are unwilling to close their eyes as far as they can see, and the water of the Tianhe River is stained red by their blood......"
After saying this, he drank a cup of tea, and his eyes showed lament for those who had died, as if those who had long since died were his relatives and friends.
At this time, the building was very quiet, no one spoke, no one ate, their eyes were full of regret, mixed with anger, and many children clenched their fists.
Wu Junyan collected his thoughts and looked up at the sky, as if he was telling his own personal experience.
------
100,000 years ago, the immortals and demons fought.
I saw that the sky was full of blood, and the broken bodies were everywhere, and the water of the heavenly river was stained red with blood, and the sky was also dyed purple red. Many sacred mountains and rivers let out incessant wails, and the sacred mountains and immortal mansions were also shattered......
Seeing that the war is about to end, all the immortals will definitely lose this battle. At the last moment, the immortals looked at each other from afar, and their hearts were instantly connected.
Yaoguang Shangxian said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoists, there is only one plan to break this situation now!" ”
Everyone looked solemn and waited for her to speak.
Yaoguang Shangxian said: "Heaven and earth have the right way, the right way has Qiankun, and the Qiankun sends all things, and all evil demons can be killed!" At this moment, we need to use all our strength to lead out the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and gather into one blow, although the Origin Demon Immortal is strong, but he is an evil demon, and he is in the middle of heaven and earth, this blow will definitely be able to kill him! ”
The immortals comprehended and nodded silently.
Yaoguang Shangxian looked sad and sighed: "And our body needs to bear the power of 'heaven and earth' first, condense the divine power, but the power of heaven and earth is far from what we can bear, after the divine power is dispersed, we will all fall into the void and return to the void......"
Only the audience of immortals said: "For the peace of all things in the world, only this trip can make the last resistance, and we are willing to strike this blow together!" ”
The next moment, all the immortals didn't have any words, and they all began to run their strongest blow, and when the ten demon generals saw that these so-called immortal saints were about to be annihilated by them, without waiting for them to react, they saw as many as a hundred rounds of tomorrow rising into the sky, gathering into a round of divine light. The power of the endless avenues in the heavens and the earth is like a divine light surging away, only to see that the divine light is getting brighter and brighter, and the seven-colored glow in the sky will cover the light of the sun, and finally the divine light turns into a bright giant sword, bursting out with endless divine power, stabbing towards the origin demon immortal, this sudden change made the origin demon immortal and the ten demon generals are shocked. At that time, there was no night in heaven and earth, only endless daylight. Those ordinary people and even those with low cultivation could not see what was going on at all, only those who cultivated to a high level knew the great avenue, and in those endless rays of light were more divine sources that were constantly dissipating by the immortals!
The purpose of the Origin Demon Immortal is to unify all the ways in the world, the six worlds are all in his hands, and all living beings are driven by him, to create a new demon path "heaven and earth", and to be the true master of this heaven and earth. But he didn't expect that even if he was as powerful as him, he couldn't rise above heaven and earth, just because heaven and earth were in front and he was behind. And at that time, the immortals had gathered the power of heaven and earth, and the origin demon immortal tried his best to resist the blow of the immortals, and the heaven and earth were suddenly in a thousand clouds, and the aura of heaven and earth and the coercion of the avenue exploded sharply, constantly blessing on the giant sword. The coercion from the greatsword caused the ten generals to retreat until they could stabilize their bodies and open their eyes. The Origin Demon Immortal roared, exuding endless coercion all around him, but those were evil and dark, and they couldn't stop the light giant sword from passing through his body after all!
After seeing the Bright Giant Sword pass through the body of the Origin Demon Immortal, although the Origin Demon Immortal was in great pain, he laughed wildly, "You dare to wait for the ants to do this!" ”
In the next moment, the Origin Demon Immortal cast a spell to envelop himself and the ten demon generals in a cloud of chaos.
This chaos can isolate everything in heaven and earth, and no one can know everything inside.
In the chaos, the Origin Demon Immortal, who was dressed in black robes and covered in black mist, said coldly: "I didn't expect this group of ants to kill me at all costs, at this moment they have heaven and earth to help, I can't resist it, but I'm not defeated!" Although my body is rotten, my heart was sealed on an island in the North Sea by me before that sword pierced, and these ants have no way of knowing. As long as my heart does not die, you can carry my spirit and ghost away quickly, and when the time is ripe, he will return and shape my immortal true body! ”
The ten demon generals all bowed and said, "I'll take the order!" ”
Then ten black-red breaths entered the seal hall of the ten demon generals, leaving a mark on it, and then disappeared from this place.
After a while, the chaos dissipated, and the Origin Demon Immortal roared: "Wait for the ants, if you destroy my Dao, your heart should be punished!" Then he unleashed endless power and struck at the Greatsword of Light.
Immediately, the Bright Giant Sword stabbed through the body of the Origin Demon Immortal hundreds of times in succession, and finally the Origin Demon Immortal dissipated with the wind.
When the Origin Demon Immortal dispersed, the sword of light turned into a dull divine light, floating between the sacred mountains that collapsed towards the mortal world and the heavenly rivers that poured into the mortal world.
Due to the lack of the support of the divine power of these immortal families, the formation immortal realm could not be maintained, and they all fell towards the mortal world, they could only try their best to control these divine mountains and heavenly rivers without affecting all living beings in the mortal world, so that they would fall into the mortal world slowly and orderly.
Taiyuan Shangxian smiled: "I will fight with all my fellow Daoists, hurry!" ”
The other immortals also said: "This battle saves the common people from fire and water, and the great disaster of destroying the origin, it is enough for me to die!" ”
Luo Shen Immortal sighed with emotion: "In this battle, the Shenlong clan and the Shenfeng clan suffered heavy casualties......"
As soon as these words came out, the other immortals also sighed: "This time...... It's a pity for those little friends who have not entered the fairyland......"
"Those demon generals are too fierce and powerful, almost all of the younger generation have fallen, although we have the heart, we can't take care of it!"
Because the Shenlong clan and the Shenfeng clan are gifted in bloodline, they have had the potential of the Great Dao that people of other clans have since they were born, so they have more than a dozen strong people who have entered the fairy realm. But the people of the two races have withered, and now there is no successor in the First World War.
The streamer immortal said helplessly: "The journey of the avenue is heavier than Mount Tai, and those who are strong should take responsibility and mission, and the people of our clan will not fail in their mission!" ”
Fuxi Immortal nodded silently, but the meaning of sadness was silent, compared with the Shenlong clan, at least the Shenfeng clan still had a few juniors.
At this time, the fairy of Lechuan smiled and said: "Streamer, although the avenue is far away, how can no one do it?" Have you figured out a name for your little girl? ”
The streamer fairy trembled suddenly, and suddenly laughed and said: "After a hundred years of fighting, my brain is confused, and I even forgot my precious daughter!" ”
The other immortals were a little confused.
Lethe Kawa Shangxian laughed, "Streamer, you're really confused!" ”
The streamer Shangxian smiled awkwardly: "It is indeed confused!" ”
......
Just a few months before the Immortal and Demon War, the daughter of the Streamer Immortal was finally born after being conceived in her mother's womb for 1,300 years. Generally, people of the Shenlong clan have been pregnant for about 500 years, but they have never seen a pregnancy for more than 1,000 years. And when his little daughter was born, there was a vision in the sky, and the sky of the Streamer Sea appeared with a thousand rays of light, and the sea exuded a strange light, and the beasts on the shore hissed, and all living beings in the sea came to worship, and it was only after three days that it slowly receded.
But the moment the little girl was born, she only cried and fell asleep quietly, and her breath gradually weakened. He knew that this daughter of his must be extraordinary, and he thought that she was the reincarnation of a god. The streamer was so anxious that he remembered the Lethe River Immortal, who was the immortal of the world's medicine path.
The streamer Shangxian soon came to the Lechuan Cliff of Jiuqu Mountain, which was millions of miles away, "Where is Lethe River?" Please save my daughter! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lethe River Immortal appeared in front of him.
The fairy on the Lechuan River looked at the baby in his arms intently, and said excitedly: "This woman is extraordinary, she can be saved!" ”
......
Within the divine light, the streamer Shangxian said anxiously: "Lechuan, how is my little daughter doing now?" ”
Lethe Chuan Shangxian smiled: "The little guy is very good, he is sleeping in my Seagod Bead at the moment." ”
The streamer fairy gave a gift with both hands and said gratefully: "Lechuan, I'm afraid I can't repay this kindness, it's me who owes you!" ”
Lechuan Shangxian laughed and said: "Streamer, you don't owe me anything, now that I am about to return, don't say these words again." ”
The other immortals also nodded in understanding, and at this time, they were like the sunset in the western mountains, and only the last remnant sun was left.
Hua Xian Shangxian looked uneasy and said: "Everyone, there are still some things that we must act quickly, while the Divine Source is not yet exhausted, we must understand as soon as possible what the Origin Demon Immortal has done in that chaos?" Where did the Ten Demon Generals go? Even though the Origin Demon Immortal is dead, the Ten Demon Generals are still there, so we should do something. Her words suddenly made the atmosphere of the audience heavy.
The other immortals also thought about it seriously.
Xihua Shangxian said: "Hua Xian is reasonable, although the origin is dead, but the ten demon generals are still there, now the people of the fairy realm in the world are here, and we will also disperse, what should they do if they come again?" ”
The Night Shadow Immortal said coldly: "Not all immortals, there are also individual immortals who will participate in the war in the future, and they must be eliminated!" ”
Yaoguang Shangxian shook his head and sighed: "It seems that there is only one plan now, and that is to create the sky." ”
Sinan Shangxian was shocked: "Does Yaoguang mean to isolate Zhongzhou from heaven and earth?" ”
Yaoguang Shangxian said: "Now it can only be like this, although after being isolated from heaven and earth, it may be difficult for the creatures of Zhongzhou to ascend to the immortal, but at least it can ensure that future generations will always be safe and peaceful, no longer threatened by the demon generals, and at the same time, it can also prevent the invasion of demon spirits." ”
The crowd was silent, noncommittal.
"Who!" Fu Xi Shangxian let out a loud shout, only to see that in the sky thousands of miles away, a ball of blood qi dissipated. This is a powerful existence that is about to break through the fairyland, he never thought that he was going to break through the gate of the fairyland, how did he expect that today he was sent by several immortals to monitor the immortals, and now he was destroyed like a mustard, only one sound.
Yaoguang Shangxian sighed: "I can't imagine that he is already a person who has achieved immortal rank, but he is still a mortal person. Let's expel them from Middle-earth in a moment. ”
Those "immortals" hiding in the shadows were terrified when they saw that the people they sent out were killed in an instant. And from that person's eyes, he felt the domineering coercion of the Fuxi Immortals, even though they were already in the realm of immortals, they were also dizzy and dizzy at this moment, and the blood was rolling, which showed why the person dispersed like gas with just one sound at that time. These people also knew the decisions and plans of the immortals at this time, so they waited quietly and did not dare to act rashly.
Although the immortals are about to dissipate into the world, they still have to stay honest for now, otherwise those who want to die will come nonsense. Fuxi Shangxian did this, which is a warning to those immortals who "live in the world".
Yaoguang Shangxian said: "Everyone, let's start." ”
Next, all the immortals stacked the magic seals one after another, only to see a layer of cloud smoke slowly covering the entire Central Continent, and at the same time, the divine consciousness continued to search for the breath of the demon general.
At the same time, he said to those immortals who had not participated in the war: "Everyone, please leave Zhongzhou quickly, take everything you want to take with you, and if you don't leave the country after two breaths, kill!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all parts of Middle-earth were filled with divine light, and they all disappeared within a breath.
Just after these departed immortals left, the glow of light erupted in all parts of Central-earth, and it was the immortals who were depicting the seals of heaven and earth. Although many of the broken artifacts have lost their former divine power, the spirit of the Dao Law contained in them is still indelible, and they are all placed in the formations everywhere as the center of the formation.
Everything is over, Yaoguang Shangxian sighed: "Everyone, if today's curtain has been completed, there will be no ......more immortals in the world of Central Continent from now on."
Suddenly, Lethe River Shangxian looked to the side and laughed: "That's not necessarily, everyone, take a look at Lingshan!" ”
When all the immortals heard this, they looked at each other, and many immortals were shocked: "How is it possible! Isn't that the divine light that emits when you become an immortal?! ”
Luo Shen Shangxian said slowly: "Lingshan, monk, become an immortal, interesting." ”
There is an immortal: "This person should have just broken through the fairy realm when we finished building the curtain of heaven, because once the curtain of heaven is formed, the world of Zhongzhou will be separated from heaven and earth, and from then on, the world of Zhongzhou will lose the real connection between heaven and earth, and this connection will be more obstacle to people with higher realms." Cultivators in this realm will be more difficult than before, and the aura will become thinner, and the realm will ascend more slowly! ”
Yaoguang Shangxian said: "And he can't reach the fairyland in his life, and the world of Zhongzhou is incomplete from now on!" ”
Sinan Shangxian said: "I have known about this person, it is said that he created the spiritual mountain alone, cultivated the Buddhist path, purified all sentient beings, and retreated for thousands of years. Now that he has become a Buddha, this is also a good thing for the world. ”
All the immortals also nodded in agreement.
Taiyuan Shangxian said: "Everyone, we still need to do one thing, that is, to leave a successor, that is, a person who saves the world, in case the curtain of one day is broken one day, then the world will be ruined!" ”
Yaoguang Shangxian nodded and said: "What Taiyuan said is very true, now the power carried by all of us is the power of heaven and earth, which can turn the gods into one heart, and those who are destined for it in the future and can withstand this important task can get it." ”
Then the immortals cast a spell to gather their strength, and a seven-colored glass heart slowly formed, and this heart became a full, and the glow filled the sky.
Hua Xian Shangxian said: "I have a disciple, I can hand over the responsibility of protecting my heart to her, and let her be the protector of this destined person." ”
Yaoguang Shangxian shook his head and said: "No, the task of protecting the heart can be given to her, and the cultivation will be enlightened by the descendants themselves." ”
Finally, Yaoguang Shangxian said again: "Everyone, we are about to leave, there is still some time left for us at this moment, you can do some unfinished things." ”
After a while, they appeared in many places in the Middle Continent world.
Many of them do want to leave something for future generations to pass on. Some immortals also cast spells to construct many mirror images to convey what they explained to their juniors, and there were also some things left for future generations to explore on their own.
For example, the Streamer Immortal cast a spell on Shenlong Island to build a cave, which was full of the inheritance and treasures collected by the Shenlong clan for hundreds of thousands of years, as well as his own divine source. This divine source contains a record of all the things of the Shenlong clan, as well as all the cultivation methods of the Shenlong clan, which will appear when the time is ripe, and this divine source is left for his little daughter.
After everyone finished all this, the last round of divine light that had been bright for a whole year gradually dimmed until there was no light, and the world of Central Continent ushered in the long-lost moonlight again.
The moonlight is unpretentious, a snow-white fox lies on a huge apricot blossom tree and looks at the moon in the sky obsessively, and behind the fox there is a man in pink, the man is in a trance, and the moonlight falls on their body looks particularly sad.
......
After Wu Junyan finished saying this, his expression looked extremely sad, and he slowly filled his teacup.
The audience was in an uproar.
Wu Junyan's eyes turned to resoluteness and said: "Although the Ten Demon Generals disappeared in the great war 100,000 years ago, we must also practice hard, if they come back, we will also fight to the death to defend the world!" ”
Wu Junyan's impassioned words inspired everyone present, and the audience also shouted: "Although we have not become immortals, there is no hope for immortals in this life, but we are willing to fight to the death!" ”
The restaurant was suddenly filled with everyone's uplifting words, and the scene was very intense.
Wu Junyan laughed and said, "It's feasible, it's feasible!" ”
After drinking the last cup of tea, he got up and retreated in all directions.
The little girl's eyes were already red at the moment, and she said indignantly: "Brother, when I grow up, I will be a heroine of the world, just like Yaoguang Shangxian and Huaxian Shangxian to keep peace in the world!" ”
This time, the boy looked back at his sister and said with a serious expression, "It's possible!" ”
The boy's serious appearance made the little girl laugh again in an instant.
"Xiaolan, what are you laughing at?"
"Brother, you look like a storyteller!"
"Me?"
"Not really!"
