Chapter 39 Swimming in Kunlun with the Three Blue Birds

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanchu was afraid for a while, this super-large model of bees, it is better not to provoke, otherwise it will be idle for a long time, and if you want to eat its honey, you don't know how to take it, it seems that the Kunlun Immortal Realm is extraordinary.

He said to the blue bird: "Let's go to the foot of the Cool Breeze Mountain to look." Qing Yu said, "Yes." So they walked together to the foot of the cool breeze mountain. And behold, there was a monster, as big as a tiger, with nine human heads, standing there majesticly facing the east, standing on the side of the mountain.

Qing Yu said: "This is called the God of Enlightenment, and he guards the door for the Emperor of Heaven. The city wall on Liangfeng Mountain is made of gold, so it is called Kim Yong City, and there are nine gates for thousands of miles around, all of which are guarded by the enlightened God, and all those who have evil thoughts and vicious people cannot escape the eyes of the enlightened God. ”

The Enlightened Beast has a very brave character, with a body like a huge tiger, with nine heads and a human face, but with a solemn expression, it always stares around Kunlun with wide eyes, preventing any anomalous creatures from entering Kunlun, and protecting the peace and tranquility of Kunlun.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a three-legged bird fly in from the sky and stop on the ground, holding a large plate that looked like jade and jasper in its mouth, and the plate contained something unknown. At this time, the big and young owls were coming towards them.

The blue bird said to them: "I am accompanying Zhang Xuanchu at the moment, there is no time to spare, you can go eat by yourself." The blue bird and the young blue bird agreed, and each of them took out a blue feather coat from the Qiankun bag on their bodies and draped it on their bodies, Huo Di turned into a pair of blue birds, led the three-legged black bird, holding the large plate, flew from the ground, and soared away.

Zhang Xuanchu saw this and was very surprised. The blue bird said: "This three-legged bird is specially for our master's food, and the three brothers are specially for our master's mission. But sometimes the three-legged bird is too late, and a few people also eat for our owner. When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, he was even more surprised. I thought to myself: "The Queen Mother of the West is a fairy, why can't she ask for the place where she lives, why do she have to go thousands of miles away to get food?" I don't know what kind of food she takes, but it is inconvenient to ask, so I have to stop." ”

After a while, he asked Qing Yu again: "Your master, the Queen Mother, is a fairy, does she have a name, how old is she now?" Qing Ying said: "My master's surname is Gu Minghui, but I don't know her age, there are always tens of thousands of years old." ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "What does your master do on weekdays for pastime?Do you also manage the affairs of the lower realm?" In the past, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou were defeated in a battle, and our master had sent the Nine Heavens Xuannu and Su Nu to help, but then he didn't hear what to do. As for weekdays, she often gathers with the immortals, or watches several of her daughters-in-law play various games, or gambles with Ziyang Zhenguan, and always does this kind of thing. ”

When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly thought: "People in later generations have gambling, and they don't want to gamble with immortals. It can be mixed with men and women, and it is not a good look, and the customs are corrupt and unbearable. Since ancient times, the emperor sighed and hated, and it was strictly forbidden to show it, and he didn't want the heavenly immortals to be the same, isn't it strange?"

Then he asked the green eagle: "What kind of thing is gambling? Can ordinary people gamble, everyone gambles, isn't that chaos in the world?"

"This is also a recent invention in the Nether. I heard that the person who invented the invention seems to be an old man with a good way, and a man named Wu Cao, but I only heard his name mentioned by chance, so I don't know very well. As for the method of the canopy, when my master was gambling, he was sometimes waiting on the sidelines, so I knew a little. There are about five pieces of wood, and each animal such as a black dog, a white chicken, and a yellow squirrel is carved on it, and each person throws it down to see its color, so that it can be carried out in the game and the winner is divided. But how to divide the way to win and lose, I don't know much, let alone know. ”

Zhang Xuanchu listened to what he said, and knew that it was the gambling thing that appeared in Qufu invented by the two people of the emperor in this era, and asked: "Gambling in the world is for money, wealth, and wealth, and the rich and powerful." Isn't it the gods in the sky, and they can't forget the wealth and benefits of the world?" Our master's gambling is to have fun and leisure, not to win and greed. Therefore, when they gamble, they do not use money, and whatever they are can use to make an object to win or lose. ”

As he walked, he talked about the products of Kunlun and all the things here, and talked about the origin of gambling, and he should start from this Huangzhong Li: "That is, the Longyue City where our master lives on Kunlun Mountain, a kind of plum tree is planted in the city, named Huangzhong Li, which is the one you ate just now." Huangzhong Li is a rare and strange thing, no matter in the world and the sky, you can't find the second plant. When the tree blooms, each flower has three shadows, and after fruiting, each fruit has nine shadows, and the flowers and fruits have the natural word 'Huangzhong', so it is called 'Huangzhong Li'. There is a big peach tree on the East Haidusuo Mountain in Kunlun, which is the prototype of the forest that you and I saw standing on the high platform just now. Qupan thousands of miles, called peach, the fruit is very big, than the peach fruit that comes out of Kunlun Jishi Mountain, as big as ten cages, although slightly smaller, but its taste is fragrant and sweet, far above the peach fruit of Jishi Mountain. ”

"One year, the two brothers of Shencha and Yulei in Dusuo Mountain picked countless peaches and contributed them to our master. After our master ate it, he was very happy, so he used the peach fruit to plant it by the Yao Pond where he lived, and after ten thousand years, it grew into a mountain that was no different from Dusuo Mountain. ”

Since then, the roots of the peach tree here absorb the water of the pond in Longyue City, nourished by the sweet spring elixir, and bloom peach blossoms and bear fruit once every 3,000 years, so the peach at the owner's place is also world-famous. Every time the peach tree bears fruit, the gods and goddesses from all over the world come to celebrate the birthday of our master, and our master treats him with a peach. This kind of gathering is called the Pan Tao Conference. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "In this way, the value of this peach can also be said to be extremely valuable. ”

Qing Yu said: "But our master's love for the peach is far less than the cherishing of the yellow plum, the world only knows that there is a peach, but I don't know that there is a yellow plum." Because the peach is from the Dusuo Mountain, not unique to our master, and Huangzhong Li is everywhere, only this one in Longyue City, so the gods everywhere are glamorous and envious, and often come to ask our master for it, so our master and Ziyang Zhenren gambled, and Ziyang Zhenren always asked for Huangzhong Li as gambling money. So our master took out two or three hundred pieces, put them on the table, and handed them over the winners. I heard that this method of the canopy was also learned by Ziyang Zhenren from the lower realm, and he transferred to teach our master, because gambling like this is to win a few Huang Zhongli to eat. Therefore, the gambling of the gods is just for leisure, not for money. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "Who is Ziyang Zhenren? I only know that he will be reincarnated in the next life and go to the world to preach, I don't know if it is this Ziyang Zhenren." Qing Yu said: "He is also a true immortal in the Nine Heavens Upper Realm, and some people are called Ziyang True Officials, but I don't know what position he is, and what he manages and what realm, I don't know." Zhang Xuanchu said: "Does he often come to gamble with your master?"

Qing Yu said: "He often comes to gamble, sometimes our master also goes to his side to gamble, sometimes he gambles on a mountain in the north of this place, not certainly. At this point, Zhang Xuanchu couldn't help but ask: "Ziyang is really a man, right?" Shao Yuan said: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "Then a man and a woman often get together and gamble everywhere, doesn't there be some shortcomings in weathering, such as letting other immortals see it, doesn't Qi make a lot of jokes?"

When Qing Yu heard this, he laughed and said, "You are from the world, and you really can't get rid of the opinions of ordinary people. I ask you, what is the wind, what is the song, and what is the joke. According to my personal opinion, there are two interpretations of the word weathering. The first explanation: The wind, the sergeant's deeds, the so-called gentleman's virtue is also. The person who transforms is what he feels, and the so-called Li Min is also changing. Those who are above practice morality, like people in the wind of the spring breeze, and those who feel this kind of good wind at the bottom are spontaneous and turn into style. But there is a distinction between the upper and lower in the world, and the gods and goddesses in the sky are all equal, and it doesn't matter if it's up and down, it doesn't matter if it's weathered. ”

There is a second explanation: wind is custom, and transformation is education. Because of the stupidity, greed, hatred, and infatuation of the people, the monarch of the world is enough to cause all kinds of chaos, so his methods are always based on the customs and enlightenment of the people. If a man who does not distinguish between a man and a woman, and who commits adultery, he is said to be immoral, and he is to be punished by law, which is good. But Zhang Xianren, are the immortals in the heavens the same as those foolish people in the world who are greedy for love? If the dust is not purified, how can you become an immortal? How can you be called a god if you are good in conduct first? In this kind of place, please think carefully about this kind of place. ”

When Zhang Xuanchu heard this, he knew that he was reckless in his words, and he said the wrong thing, and his face turned red unconsciously, and he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake and apologized.

Qinglu said: "In heaven and on earth, all habits are different. You are a human being, you have eaten a lot of spiritual fruits and fairy fruits in Zhongshan in the Nether Realm, and your body has long been an immortal body, and you have to change your body by Huang Zhongli sent by our master, and now you are not the original you. When I first arrived here, I took the eyes of the world and looked at the situation in the sky, and I was naturally very surprised, and it is no wonder that I had to ask these few words. ”

"But honestly told Zhang Xianren that on the Jade Mountain, the few female sons of our master are so many fairies that I saw in the palace, her daughters, all their attendants, and most of them are men, and they wear through the house and enter the house, and they do not avoid taboos. And when the group of immortals gathered, the male fairies and fairies sat together, exchanged their heads and ears, and talked about Xuan, and they did not shy away from it. If the little immortal sees such a situation in the future, don't be surprised. You must know that the gods in the sky are indeed different from the fools in the world. ”

Zhang Xuanchu replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this also lets me know the difference between the world and the fairy world, and I have to be careful in the future, it's a bit of a fuss." ”
