Chapter 7 Drizzle Meets Wenchang
A long drizzle fell on the southwest land.
The black-haired and silver-eyebrowed demon king Reekton sat on a thin horse and slowly stepped into the sword gate.
"There are traces of dust and wine on the clothes, and the soul is lost everywhere when you travel far away. This fit is the poet who did not drizzle and rode into the sword gate. Recton recited a quatrain, and stepped into the land of Xichuan in the drizzle. The original author of this poem has not yet been born, and Renekton replaced the word "donkey" with the word "horse", which is quite a bit of his current meaning.
Huaying Mountain, located in the southwest of Nanzhan Buzhou, is a treasure mountain of Zhong Lingyuxiu, in which the heaven and earth stone forest are world-famous.
Renekton came to the foot of Mount Huaying and randomly found a temple to rest. The temple has long been dilapidated, and the incense priest has disappeared, so it has become a resting place for pedestrians.
There are still many people in the temple, all sitting in twos and threes, most of them are foot merchants who travel between the southwest border and the center of the southern Zhanbu Continent. At this time, the weather is slightly cool, and many people have lit fires and are drinking over the fire.
Renekton sat down in a random corner and took out a jug of wine to sip slowly. Wine is a thing that sometimes needs to be poured into the throat, and sometimes it needs to be tasted in the slightest.
"Huh?" Recton suddenly felt an extraordinary aura approaching.
I saw the sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the temple, and a man in his thirties stepped into the temple. As soon as the man entered the temple, he was like a star in the night, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
This is a very upright person, with very straight eyebrows, a very straight mouth, very straight eyes, and every inch of his body is very right. Mighty but not angry, strict but not violent, wearing a literati and Confucian robe, without a trace of wrinkles.
His steps are steady, and the distance between each step is exactly the same.
The place where he walked was in the middle of the temple. There, there was a dilapidated altar covered with dust and cobwebs, the incense burner had been broken, and the words heaven and earth hanging on the wall had been mostly obscured by layers of dirt. The man walked to the altar, and he was not afraid of dirt, but he stretched out his hand to brush away the cobwebs and dust, and then rubbed the earth into incense, and bowed three times to the word heaven and earth.
The surrounding merchants all looked at the man curiously, and some of them laughed secretly, obviously thinking that this person was a little pedantic.
Seeing that he had finished worshipping heaven and earth, Renekton suddenly walked over, raised the wine jug with a smile and said, "This friend, would you like to have a few drinks?"
The man glanced at Renekton's flask and said, "Thank you, despicable people don't drink." ”
"Don't drink?" said Renekton with a shrug, "yes, wine is a poison in the intestines, so it's okay not to drink it." As he spoke, Renekton threw the flask to the ground with a crisp clatter.
The man glanced at Reekton and turned to leave, when Reekton suddenly asked, "You don't hide from the rain?"
"I'm not here to hide from the rain, but to worship heaven and earth. The man explained, "People are doing it, and the heavens are watching, respecting the heavens and the earth and doing my duty." After the man had finished speaking, he left on his own, and there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the temple, and he had already left.
What a strange person, Renekton shook his head, he could see that this person had at least the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm, and it was deeper than himself.
"I didn't expect him to come. A delicate and gentle female voice came from Renekton's side. Renekton turned his head to look and saw a graceful woman, wearing a black water shirt and a beaded jade pendant, which was very moving, but her face was covered with a black veil.
"Is that you? Why are you here?" and then Renekton reacted, and the woman in front of him was the rain messenger.
"Lei Dasheng forgot, there is rain outside, where there is rain, it is normal for the slave family to appear. The rain envoy said, "The Great Sage knows, who is the sacredness of that person?"
"I don't know. ”
"Emperor Wenchang. ”
Renekton frowned, he had naturally heard of the name of Emperor Wenchang, he was one of the emperors of the Three Realms, and he was known as the most upright and selfless emperor in the Three Realms, but some people secretly said that he was pedantic, in short, he had mixed reviews.
"Why is Emperor Wenchang here?" asked Renekton.
The rain envoy explained: "Emperor Wenchang is here, and it is estimated that he also came for the secret of Huaying Mountain. ”
"What's the secret of Huaying Mountain?"
"The slave family doesn't know, and the slave family only came to inform the great sage according to His Majesty's intentions. The rain envoy said, "Your Majesty, he will go to the Heaven and Earth Stone Forest on the east side of Huaying Mountain at noon today, and let me inform the Great Sage to be sure to arrive at noon." "It's only an hour before noon, and the Rain Messenger must have come to urge Renekton.
"I'm naturally punctual. ”
After speaking, the rain made a graceful figure sway, and slowly disappeared into the drizzle. Recton finished his drink and continued to ride his horse towards Mount Huaying.
I don't know if it's because of the rain that made me leave, but the sky is clear at this time.
When Renekton came to the side of Huaying Mountain, he saw a majestic mountain thousands of feet high and a hundred miles wide in front of him, looming in the clouds and mist.
The horseshoe light tower, and Renekton walked into the mountains. Not long after entering, I heard a commotion coming, as if someone was fighting in front of me. Immediately Recton abandoned his horse, cast a wind escape spell, and hurried towards the place where the voice had come from.
In the valley, there were two sides of the people and horses facing each other, and one of them was still shouting.
There are many people on one side, a group of four people, led by a Taoist man wearing a Taoist robe with a solemn face, followed by three majestic Dharma Protector Paths, one holding a spear, one holding a big knife, and one holding a long stick.
There were only two people on the side opposite them who kept shouting, one was a Taoist with fairy wind bones, and the other was a strange man with a hooked nose, a sneer on his face and a mouth that kept scolding.
"I said fellow practitioners, you and your three apprentices stopped here and didn't let me wait to enter the mountain, it's unreasonable!" The man with the hooked nose kept saying, "Are you talking? Let's reason today, if you don't speak, does it prove that you are unreasonable? Since you are unreasonable, that is, you are in the wrong, why do you still occupy the road and not get out of the way?"
"Fellow Daoist, you're too unreasonable, aren't you?"
"Fellow Daoists, if you don't let me again, I'm welcome. Give me a happy word, will you let it or not!"
"Hey, you don't want me to give you face, if you don't let me, you'll really do it, I'm afraid of myself when I do it. ”
The man with the hooked nose had a powerful mouth, and his speech was as simple as spitting. But the Daoist and the three disciples on the opposite side were not moved at all, they just guarded the mouth of the valley and did not let the two of them enter.
Renekton was quietly hiding to the sidelines, watching the scene with great interest. At this moment, suddenly someone came in the valley on a white horse, and the sound of horses' hooves rattled.
Renekton turned his head to see that it was Emperor Wenchang who came on horseback. The man with the gutter nose over there and the Taoist of the fairy wind Dao bone who accompanied him all walked to the side of Emperor Wenchang and saluted.
"I said, Emperor, why are you here now?" the hook-nosed man grumbled.
Emperor Wenchang arched his hand and said: "There is a slight delay on the road of the contemptible people, and I hope that I will be a friend of Haihan." ”
"Haihan, naturally you want Haihan! Emperor, you are too polite. The hook-nosed man smiled and said, "There is a Taoist Tianzun here, who is blocking the road with three of his disciples, but he refuses to get out of the way, Emperor, you go up and tell me, how about letting them get out of the way?"
Emperor Wenchang looked over there, and the Taoist guarding in the valley was Dao Xing Tianzun, one of the famous Twelve Golden Immortals of the Sect, and his three disciples, Han Poison Dragon, Xue Evil Tiger, and Wei Hu.
"Dao Xing Tianzun Daoyou, Wenchang is polite. Emperor Wenchang saluted quite formally.
Dao Xing Tianzun bowed slightly, after all, the person in front of him was the emperor, and said: "The emperor is here, I don't know what is going on?"
"Wenchang's trip is to come to Huaying Mountain to find something. Emperor Wenchang said unabashedly, "Fellow Daoists, I hope to borrow the road." ”
Dao Xing Tianzun looked sideways slightly and said, "Looking for something, what are you looking for?" I haven't heard of any treasures in this Huaying Mountain that are worthy of the emperor coming in person. ”
The hook-nosed man on the side jumped to his feet and scolded: "Dao Xing, you old immortal guy, what are you pretending?"
Emperor Wenchang said with a solemn face: "I hope that Daoist friends will let him go!" Emperor Wenchang is undoubtedly a gentleman, with excellent cultivation, no matter what Daoxing Tianzun says, he is quite polite.
"Feather Winged Immortal, if you have the ability, you can break through. Dao Xing Tianzun sneered at the hook-nosed man, "Emperor Wenchang is a person who values etiquette and face, and the strength of you and Wuyun Immortal is not as good as me and my three disciples. I'm stopping here today to see how you get into the mountains!"
There is no doubt that Dao Xing Tianzun is a cheeky person, and it is precisely because of his thick skin that he specially came here to stop Emperor Wenchang and his party. The strength of the Feather Wing Immortal and the Wuyun Immortal is not enough, and Emperor Wenchang pays attention to etiquette, so there is no way to take the cheeky nature of Dao Xing Tianzun.
The situation was at an impasse for a while.
"Hello everyone, good morning. Ouch, Your Majesty Emperor Wenchang, I didn't expect to meet you here. At this moment, a man with black hair and silver eyebrows walked out from the side and greeted everyone with a smile.
I don't know, the dark cloud line and the winged immortal don't know this person, Dao Xing Tianzun and the three disciples don't know this person, only Emperor Wenchang has a relationship with this person.
"Who are you?" asked the Dao Xing Tianzun.
Renekton was a little depressed, although he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace a few days ago and gained a little reputation, but it was still too shameful for these old-timers who expounded and intercepted the teachings.
"Let me introduce myself, contemptible Renekton, he is a newcomer, and now he is one of the great sages of the demon clan. Renekton casually introduced himself.
After thinking about it for a while, I understood. The Havoc in the Heavenly Palace incident a few decades ago was famous in the Three Realms, among which the two new stars of the demon clan, Sun Wukong and Renekton, both began to emerge, and they were also a little famous.
"Oh, a newcomer, the Great Sage of the Demon Clan?" Dao Xing Tianzun seemed to be very disdainful, for those who explain the teaching, the Demon Clan's are all rebellious, and they are all low-level and lowly existences. The exposition of Yuan Shi Tianzun was originally to establish order and require high and low sects.
However, the winged fairy on the side was quite enthusiastic, and ran over and said, "You are Renekton? Yes, yes, I have heard all the deeds of the newcomers of the demon clan." My Winged Immortal is also half a demon clan, by the way, I am cousins of the Peng Demon King Zhuang Peng. ”
Well, this winged fairy not only has a big mouth, but is also a self-cooked guy.
