7. The first part of the first entry into heaven
These days, Zhimeng has practiced very hard, and there have been great breakthroughs in her skills and medical skills. Although she was still drenched by the waterfall, Zhimeng learned to use internal force to dry her soaked clothes.
For the herbs hidden in the cracks of the stones, Zhimeng no longer needs to use corrosive water, she can crush the stones with internal breath, and then take out the herbs intact. For these obvious small improvements, Zhimeng was quite satisfied in her heart, because in this way she met the master's request and took her to the Peach Conference in Heavenly Court.
Zhimeng never thought that there were so many small islands floating in the sky, and each island had a palace, the largest of which was the main hall, and there were mountains and rivers on the island, which was where the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother lived. Today's peach feast is held here.
"Master, legend has it that there is one day in the sky and one year on the ground. When the Pan Tao Conference is over, will Meng'er grow up?" Zhi Meng asked as she stomped the clouds at her feet, and then squatted down to grab them with her hands, but the clouds were lost between her fingers like smoke.
It was truly beautiful, the thin clouds of the whole palace were at your feet, and although you stepped on the solid ground, you always felt like the clouds were flying through the clouds.
Juechen looked at Zhimeng who was looking around helplessly. "A day in heaven and a year on earth is good, but the flow of time is the same. ”
"Oh!" Zhimeng nodded, then she would be relieved, otherwise she would not know how she became an old woman.
She saw that every entrance to the Heavenly Palace was guarded by heavenly soldiers, and they stood motionless like stone people, unmoved no matter how Zhimeng grimaced at them. She couldn't help but admire how deep their concentration was, and gave a thumbs up to the heavenly soldiers, with a naughty face.
The people who came to participate in the Pan Tao Conference were all figures with heads and faces in the heavenly realm, if it weren't for the blessing of the master, I am afraid that Zhimeng would not have thought of coming here in this life. And those who come to the Heavenly Palace must first go to the main hall to greet the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the palace was in front of her, Zhimeng suddenly became nervous, and pulled the sleeves of Jiechen's clothes awkwardly. "Master, I'm not going in. ”
Jiechen glanced at Zhimeng, and a trace of hesitation rose in his heart. At that moment, he saw a group of people walking towards him not far away.
"Uncle Shi. I saw five people, three men and two women, saluting respectfully to the dust.
Zhimeng looked at the five people suspiciously and curiously. They call the master uncle. It turns out that the master also has a brother. Then they are her brothers and sisters?
"Hello senior brother and sister. Zhimeng was overjoyed, and she gave them a salute as they did to the dust. The five people looked at Zhimeng in surprise.
"I'm going to see the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, her name is Zhimeng. You help me take her around the neighborhood, and I'll come to you in a moment. ”
When Jiechen talked to them, it was different from usual, and the good-looking sword eyebrows frowned slightly in distress. Zhimeng suddenly found that he was no longer the master who belonged only to him, and he still had a lot of identities he didn't know and a past that she couldn't participate in. Thinking of this, looking at the back of the master leaving, Zhimeng's heart was a little lost, and she regretted it for a moment, she should go to the palace with the master.
"Hello, my name is Liu Xifeng, this is Chen Muyan, Zhao Zijie, Wang Yuqian and Shen Yiyao. It's all your brother and sister. ”
The tallest boy at the front introduced Zhimeng. Zhimeng greeted them one by one very politely, she had a small abacus in her heart, and wanted to know some things about the master from them. When her eyes skimmed over Shen Yiyao, Zhimeng obviously felt an unfriendly aura.
"How could Uncle Shi accept you as an apprentice!?" Sure enough, Shen Mengyao asked.
She has wanted to worship under Jiechen since she was a child, but Jiechen never accepts apprentices. He is the prince loved by the Jade Emperor in every way, and he is also the god of war respected by the world. In everyone's hearts, he was unapproachable, but now he has accepted an apprentice, and he is just such an ordinary little girl? Shen Mengyao was unconvinced.
"It was the master who saved me, and he took me in because he was pitiful. Zhimeng replied truthfully.
"Okay, since you have entered the disciple of your uncle, you are our little sister. It's the first time you've come to the Heavenly Palace, right? Senior brothers and sisters will take you around. Xi Feng interrupted Shen Mengyao's "questioning" with a smile.
"Senior brother, what is the master doing in Heavenly Court?" Zhi Meng asked as he walked to Xi Feng's side in small steps.
Among the five senior brothers and sisters, Xi Feng looked the most kind, and Chen Muyan looked cold and didn't like to talk. And Zhao Zijie looked at her with a smile from beginning to end. Senior Sister Yu Qian is a gentle type, smiling sweetly at Zhimeng. But Senior Brother Xifeng had more words, so it was easier to ask him about things.
As soon as Zhimeng's question came out, the five people looked at her in amazement. Zhimeng scratched her head, indeed, she had been with her master for so long, but she didn't know the identity of her master at all.
"Uncle Shi is the second prince of the Jade Emperor. He is also a famous god of war in the heavenly realm. Except for Senior Brother Meng Ghost Meng, who can be on the same level as your master in the Heavenly Realm, there is no one who can compare to him. We are all in awe of him. But as we all know, Uncle Shi never accepts apprentices, so not only us, but probably everyone will be curious about you when they see you. ”
Zhimeng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart, but she stuck out her tongue in a weak heart. It was right not to go to the front hall with the master just now, the master is so powerful, what if he loses face to the master. Immediately, a pressure instantly pressed on Zhimeng's heart.
"Five hundred years ago, Uncle Shi and the Jade Emperor agreed not to ask about the world for these five hundred years, and to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. So we have rarely seen Uncle Shi in the past five hundred years, but as soon as we met, we brought such a big gift, and we actually accepted such a clever apprentice. It's unexpected. Zhao Zijie's envious expression was exaggerated.
Five hundred years! Zhi Meng looked at the five people in front of him a little dizzy, they were there five hundred years ago, so how old are they now? Zhi Meng swallowed her saliva.
But hearing this, it's no wonder that the master has been in Lingshan, and not long ago, a heavenly soldier came to him, and he also asked him to fulfill the five-hundred-year covenant. But Zhimeng remembered the master's depression a few days ago, did he actually not want to go back to the Heavenly Palace?
"Then why would the master want to hide for five hundred years?"
Listened to Zhimeng's question. The five looked at each other and fell silent. Zhimeng looked at Xi Feng suspiciously, could it be that she asked something wrong?
"Actually, we don't know that five hundred years ago, the fairy world and the demon world were at war, but Uncle Shi refused to fight in the end. After the war, he had this five-hundred-year covenant with the Jade Emperor. It is rumored that your master fell in love with the princess of the demon world, so he refused to fight. Wang Yuqian broke the silence, although everyone was reluctant to mention this matter, it was also well known, and there was nothing to hide.
"The princess of the demon world?" Zhimeng heard her heart thump and sink deeply. It turned out that the master already had someone she liked, a long time before she met him.
"Where is the princess of the demon world now?" Zhimeng had not seen any other woman beside her master.
"I heard that he was seriously ill, probably dead, and I don't know where he is. ”
Zhimeng said lightly, "Oh." "Yes. In my heart, I was full of curiosity about this woman in the demon world. What kind of woman is it, who can get the favor of the master, there is a strange feeling that fills Zhimeng's heart. And at that time, she didn't know that this uncomfortable taste was vinegar.
"Okay, don't talk about that, let's take my sister around. The first time I came here, it must be very fresh. Senior Brother Xifeng patted Zhimeng from the ground, and walked forward with her.
"As you can see, the Heavenly Court is made up of countless floating islands, and it is divided into nine heavens, from the first heaven "Yao Pond" to the nine "Great Luo Heaven" with a total of 36 layers. This is the center of it. The closest to the main island is the Seven Immortals Pavilion, where the Seven Fairies live and are responsible for tending to a large area of peach trees. The peach of the peach conference came out there. Over there, there are Taiji Palace, Yuqing Palace, Ziwei Palace, ......"
Zhimeng looked at the scene in front of her obsessively, listening to Xi Feng's introduction, and a sense of joy lingered in her heart, making her forget the inexplicable troubles just now. The Heavenly Court was bigger than she had imagined, and it was inhabited by all kinds of people. She knew that she was small, but she was a little unwilling to move in her heart.
"Look, the island directly below the sun is the Valley of the Hundred Flowers. Zhimeng followed Xi Feng's finger and looked over. In the sun, a small island shines. If you look at it from such a distance, you can see the colorful flowers.
"Hundred Flowers Valley?" Zhi Meng murmured softly.
"Yes, the Baihua Mountain there is the most beautiful place in the sky. Xi Feng looked yearning. "The Valley of Hundred Flowers is the abode of the Poison Immortal, and the name of the Poison Immortal is like winter, and it is the transformation of a wisp of soul left in the world by the Divine Nuwa. She is proficient in medicine, but because she prefers to study poisons, everyone calls her a poison fairy. ”
"There is a flower name called Rizhao in this world, you must not have heard of it, little junior sister. Zhao Zijie also became interested. "This flower is unique and only cultivated by Poison Fairy and a few of her disciples, so it is also particularly precious. Rizhao is not an ordinary flower and plant, it can cure diseases and save people, help practice, and can even be used as one of the materials for exercising weapons, which can be described as versatile and omnipotent. ”
Zhimeng blinked her eyes wide, her heart full of curiosity about the Poison Immortal and the Hundred Flowers Island. She didn't know that there was such a place, such a person, and such a flower in this world. I thought that when I turned around, I would definitely ask the master to take her to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
"I remember when I was a child, because my father had some relationship with Ruodong Shangxian, I could often see her. She is very beautiful and gentle, but unfortunately she rarely goes out, and I have heard that she is sick, and I have not seen her for a long, long time. Wang Yuqian's expression was a little lonely.
Although Yu Qian seems to be weak, she is actually a strong and hard-working girl, and her swordsmanship is also one of the best in the same school. If it weren't for the fact that she was not good at those flowers and plants by nature, she would have liked to worship under the Poison Immortal Sect.
"Those immortals are already elusive, which can be seen by ordinary people like us. Shen Yiyao said with some emotion.
At this moment, Zhimeng faintly heard the sound of a monkey. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a very cute little monkey lying on Chen Muyan's thumb talking to him.
"Is that a spirit animal?" Zhimeng looked at the little monkey curiously, it was really small and small, it could hide anywhere, and it didn't need to be accompanied by accessories. Zhimeng suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Yan'er, and unconsciously stroked the hairpin on her head.
"This is the thumb monkey among the spirit animals. Xi Feng saw that Zhimeng couldn't take his eyes off the little monkey, probably because he liked it tightly.
"Every disciple I send will get a spirit beast of their own when they practice to a certain extent. Little sister, don't look at this little monkey cute, it is really small in normal state, hiding in people's ears, sleeves, or just holding your thumb. But it is the strongest fighting power among spirit beasts. It is capable of mutating into a giant monster to help you in battle. It's terrifying. Xi Feng stretched out his arms and showed Zhimeng the power of the monkey vividly and vividly, which made Zhimeng laugh.
"I just don't know why, how such a rare spirit beast was hatched by this big ice cube. Xi Feng glanced at Mu Yan with some jealousy.
"Taishang Laojun and Meng Ghost are in front. ”
This was the first time Zhimeng heard Mu Yan speak, and smiled sweetly at him, but Mu Yan still looked like an ice cube, and turned his head and walked forward directly.
"Taishang Laojun, Senior Brother Meng. Zhimeng followed behind her senior brother and sister and bowed her head and saluted, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Meng Ghost.
Mencius was their senior brother according to his seniority. It's just that his master is a thousand years older than their master, and he started early, so his cultivation is naturally not comparable to them.
Zhimeng looked at Meng Ziran and was bewildered by his peerless appearance. At first, she was just curious about what this person who could match Master's name in the Heavenly Court was like. But when he saw the deity, Zhimeng turned his elbow outwards and thought that at least in terms of appearance, he was slightly better than his master.
Meng Ziran's long snow-white hair was coiled into a blame on the top of his head, which was neat and neat, highlighting the delicate and three-dimensional facial features. Zhimeng wiped the saliva from her mouth, turned her head and saw Senior Sister Yuqian's crimson cheeks and shining eyes, and smiled in her heart. It seems that she is not a nymphomaniac, Senior Sister Yuqian originally admired Senior Brother Meng.
Meng Ziran and Taishang Laojun were stunned when they saw Zhimeng.
"This is Zhimeng, a disciple of Uncle Jiechen. Xi Feng introduced.
Meng Ziran saw that Zhimeng's heart was already in chaos, but he couldn't do anything, just stood there quietly and didn't speak.
"Senior brother, how are you recovering from your previous injuries?" Yu Qian looked at Meng Ziran with some concern.
"Your senior brother is deliberately ruining himself, I don't think he will be able to recover in another three hundred years!" Taishang Laojun knocked on the crutches in his hand with some anger, with a helpless expression.
"Taishang Laojun, you have great powers, with you, how can you use it for three hundred years, maybe Senior Brother Meng's injury will be healed tomorrow!" Shen Yiyao knew that Yu Qian was worried about Ghost Meng, so she stepped forward to please her sweetly.
"You're the one who can talk the most. Taishang Laojun was amused by Yu Qian, soothed his unhappiness, and smiled kindly.
"Dreams. At this moment, the cold words of the absolute dust drifted from not far away.
Jiechen greeted the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and came out to look for them, but they ran into Taishang Laojun and Meng Ghost.
Jue Chen glanced at Ghost Meng with some meaning. At this time, Ghost Meng was the same as he remembered, never saying much, and rarely happy, angry, sad, or happy. If it weren't for the last time he took Zhimeng, he probably would never have imagined that this man who seemed to be eternally isolated from the world would have such rich emotions.
Xi Feng and Zijie's excitement is beyond words, the picture of the two strongest generals in the heavenly realm on the same stage is rare, and it is really lucky for them to bump into each other today.
"If the second prince doesn't come out of the mountain again, I'm afraid that the old man will put the old bones into the loess, and you won't know. ”
Taishang Laojun jokingly taught Jiechen a lesson, and at the same time swept his gaze at Zhimeng beside him.
"It seems that the person you are looking for has finally been found by you. It's a pity that Providence makes people, do you still insist on doing this?" Taishang Laojun looked at Jiechen meaningfully and fixed his eyes on Mencius.
Zhimeng looked at the master with some doubts, she turned her head and saw that the senior brothers and sisters were also confused, so she looked at Taishang Laojun even more puzzled, but she happened to meet Taishang Laojun and looked at her.
"Lao Taishang Laojun is too bothered, you still take care of these juniors. Meng Gongzi can come to my palace to talk about it when he is free, and he will be waiting for him at any time. As he spoke, Jiechen casually helped Zhimeng comb the broken hair on her head.
"The little apprentice is still young, and I'm afraid I'm a little tired when I come to Heaven for the first time, so I will take her to the temple to rest, so I won't disturb everyone. With that, Jiechen took Zhimeng's hand and left.
"Bad fate, bad fate, what do you say? Taishang Laojun sent the words with internal force, shook his head and sighed.
Meng Ziran nodded slightly to the five junior brothers and sisters, and went back to the palace without saying a word. The five men were left confused and curious.
"You say, what did Taishang Laojun mean just now? Who is Uncle Shi looking for? Could it be the princess of the demon world?" Xi Feng held his chin with his hand and looked pensive.
"You don't have to think about that, you don't have an answer if you want to break your head. Hey, fortunately, I'm still young, and I'm still early from the catastrophe, in this world, only the love catastrophe is the most hurtful. Zhao Zijie saw through the red dust with a face, fearless. "But you say, if Senior Brother Meng and Senior Uncle can come together, is that what everyone expects? ”
Mu Yan still stood aside without any expression, as if nothing in this huge heavenly court could shake his plain heart. And Wang Yuqian and Shen Yiyao listened to Zhao Ziyan's jokes a little absent-mindedly, but they kept thinking about what Taishang Laojun said just now.
As soon as it was quiet, Zhimeng suddenly felt that she had too many questions to ask her master for a while, but she didn't know where to start, so she blocked them all and swallowed them raw.
Juechen and Prince Jueyin each have their own palaces, both located at the rear of the main hall. Zhimeng saw the plaque hanging high in front of the temple gate, which read, "Qingxuan Palace".
Juechen rarely comes to his palace, and coupled with the agreement of five hundred years, the Qingxuan Palace is even more unattended. But the inside of the hall was very clean and spotless, and someone must have cleaned it regularly. Zhimeng thought to herself, the Jade Emperor still loves his master very much.
"There are a lot of rooms, you can choose the one you like to stay. In a while, it will be the Peach Conference, you have raised your spirit, and I will call you then. "Explain the trivial things in detail. With a hook of his fingers, the kettle on the table poured a glass of water and flew to Zhimeng as if it was alive.
Zhimeng took the water glass and wanted to say something with a little squeak. Seeing her standing there awkwardly and not resting, and he didn't know how much gossip he had heard from those five disciples, he sat down and waited quietly for her to speak.
"Master, I heard that the Valley of Hundred Flowers is the most beautiful place in Heavenly Court?"
Juechen raised his eyes to look at Zhimeng, he took a deep breath and poured himself another glass of water. "yes, it's beautiful. ”
"Master, I heard that the poison fairy is very good at medicine, are you familiar with her, can you take me to the Valley of Hundred Flowers to have a look?"
Zhimeng's face flushed, she didn't really mention any wishes to her master, and she didn't dare to ask more about her master, and she didn't know if she was afraid that the master wouldn't answer her, or if she was afraid that she would be unhappy after knowing everything, even if she understood that everything had nothing to do with her. But going to Baihua Valley is with a learning attitude, and the master will not refuse.
Jiechen paused with his hand holding the cup, his long black eyelashes drooped, Zhimeng couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard him spit out a word faintly after a long time. "Good. ”
Everything in this world has a certain number, and even the Jade Emperor is powerless to do anything about what is destined. Jiechen raised his eyes and looked at Zhimeng with a happy face, he couldn't stop her inextricable fate with Baihua Valley, so he didn't have to bother to stop it.
The cup in his hand was crushed by him and returned to its original state, and he reminded himself ten thousand times in his heart that no matter what happened, his original intention would not change, and he would definitely get better if he wanted to save people.
