Chapter Seventy-Four: Qingxiao Niangniang and Houtu Niangniang

This spring flows down the mountain, and there are also spiritual springs, pearl springs, fairy springs, dragon well springs, dragon tail springs, divine springs, and nine dragon springs in the mountains. There are many pools and ponds washed in the mountains, and there are many deep pools such as Crystal Pond, Misty Immortal Pond, Golden Bird Pond, Seven Star Pond, Old Dragon Pond, Immortal Pond, White Horse Pond, General Pond, Youlong Three Ponds and so on. ”

Therefore, this place goes to the treasure source mountain of Wuxi, that is, Baoshan. There are salt springs and dansha. Dansha is the best medicine for the "immortal medicine", and there are countless fairy herbs in many mountains and rivers. Among the famous "Five Great Medicine Mountains" since ancient times, our ten witches often come here to practice immortal medicine to alchemy, which is also a reasonable thing for us. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "This place is so beautiful, there must be many people who cultivate immortals and practice the Tao in that mountain, you see these mountains, sometimes colorful clouds flying, sometimes fairy light surrounds, sometimes you see cranes flying, sometimes you can see the spirit alive." And these weird things are all magical images and other parts evolved by people who cultivate immortals and practice the Tao. ”

Wu Xian said: "Zixu Immortal is so right, there are many temples and temples here, and the statues of all kinds of gods and goddesses stand here, so these immortals will come and go in the temple, only mortals can't see it, anyone who opens the eye of the sky, or a genius who cultivates spirits, can pass by with the gods, and those who are destined can also get the guidance of the gods, and I have also seen many immortals here." ”

Everyone watched and chatted while walking, Zhang Xuanchu had the heart to find Houtu, and he didn't know if he could see Houtu Niangniang here, let alone if it was the Twelve Ancestral Witches, so he asked very anxiously: "I heard the master just now, there is a Houtu Hall on it, I don't know how far away it is from here, can we go there to have a look first." Wu Xian said: "Yes, Hou Tu Niang Niang is a god that people respect, and in the temple built for her, people mold her into a dignified woman, and the general public calls her "Hou Tu Niangniang".

"Hou Tu Niang Niang, the great god, people believe that the god is the protector of agriculture to obtain a good harvest, but also the god of fertility, the god of the earth, many symbols. Because it has been a country based on agriculture since ancient times, everyone from the emperor to the common people worshipped this god very much. Every year, a large ceremony is held to worship the god, and in many cases it is presided over by the emperor himself. ”

The mountains and forests are bright and dazzling, the flowers, birds, insects and beasts are beautiful and happy, the strange scenery and strange stones stand again, and the fairy gods are bright.

Several people wandered to Lingshan to find the source of divine light, and unconsciously came to the Houtu Palace, this hall is not very big, three rows of rooms, nearly two deep rooms, the middle hall is dedicated to the Houtu Niangniang, when everyone enters the main hall, the first sight did not see the statue, but saw a group of immortals here.

The fairy glow surrounds the hall, the pearl curtain flashes golden light, the gods and goddesses from all walks of life arrive, and Qi Yao Danhua wins Qiong Yao.

I saw that many gods and goddesses came from all the nearby mountains, and between each mountain, there were many management gods, including the god of guarding the mountain, the god of managing beasts, the god of land, the god of water, the god of the mountain dragon, the god of dragons, the god of rain, the god of wind, the god of thunder, and many other gods, and Qingxiao Yuanjun, as well as all her Tianding stewards, jade maiden stewards, and gods from all walks of life, all came to the Houtu Palace.

The middle one is the so-called Hou Tu Niang, her right is Qingxia Yuanjun, Hou Tu Niang Niang is wearing a golden Xia dress, yellow silk streamers, wearing a golden Xia crown, pearls hanging on both sides of the head, and the golden garden light is beautifully surrounded on the head. Noble and beautiful, seeing Zhang Xuanchu and others coming, the lords and immortals all came to greet and said: "Welcome, welcome, welcome guests, I thought I had been waiting here for many days." ”

Who is Qingxiao Yuanjun?

Qinghai Holy Land Lotus Mountain, Lingshan Old Mother by Road Boat, pure * incomparable, Pudu sentient beings vow first. Practicing medicine to save suffering and overcome disasters, dissolving the cause and effect of the world, lotus mudra to subdue demons, one rod to sweep the dust of the three realms, double cultivation of life and propagation of the law, punishment of evil and promotion of goodness between heaven and earth.

Qingxiao Yuanjun, there are nine big Xiaomen in the nine heavens, it is the Qingxiao Gate Yuanjun, the mainstay of the Qingxiao Gate in the nine heavens, the immortal, quite influential in the sect, often incarnated in the lower realm to save the suffering, ever-changing.

Zhang Xuanchu led everyone to worship the immortals here one by one, and Wu Xian was not far behind. After everyone saw each other, Zhang Xuanchu knew Houtu Niangniang at first sight, and his body image informed his eyes, and the first feeling in his brain was Houtu Niangniang, so he asked: "I don't know why Houtu Niangniang knows that my people are coming? ”

Niangniang said: "Zixu immortals, don't be suspicious, I went to Kunlun a few days ago, heard about you, and knew that you were going to find me in the central part of China, but to watch your journey, you have to pass through here, so I waited on this spiritual mountain, when you came, you saw the colorful light on the spiritual mountain, it is really me and other immortal qi surrounded by it, one comes, so that you don't look for me again, and the other also tells you that Gonggong and Zhurong are in the emperor's place, or it won't be long before the emperor will return to the Zhongshan immortal land, so I tell you to meet soon." ”

Zhang Xuanchu knew it in his chest, when he saw Niangniang today, he was able to tell me this, he was very grateful, and said very respectfully: "I see, thank you Niangniang, I have heard about Houtu Niangniang, and I also understand your form, but it is unrealistic to say what the Master Nine Heavens True King said, Niangniang, what god are you, can you tell the little god?"

At this time, all the immortals and gods are concentrated, about the origin of the Hou Tu Niang, everyone has a lot of people who don't know, especially the little fairy gods here, are the new mountain gods, it is a great honor to hear the Hou Tu Niang Niang talk about their origins. Niangniang was a highly respected god when the heavens and the earth were opened, and all the gods respected him.

Hou Tu Niang Niang said: "People call me the Earth Grandmother Niangniang, also known as the Earth Mother Niangniang, or the Earth Mother Yuanjun, or the Void Earth Mother Supreme, or the Houtu Lady, etc. Her name is Jiakazi Nuluo. In the movement of heaven and earth, yin and yang are rooted in each other. Heaven desires to transform all things, yin and yang are combined, the upper part takes the heavenly essence as yang, and the lower takes the earth spirit as yin, yin and yang are conceived, and the luck becomes dust, the dust has a mysterious way, and the subtlety is aggregated, and gradually begins to be born, and all things are born, and people stand in it, and I am spiritualized from this time, and I am a god in the body of Pangu, born in the earth. ”

"And because my real body is a human body and snake tail, there are three sides on the head, six hands on the back, two hands in front, a total of eight hands, often holding two snakes, each hand behind each has an artifact, for the ancestor of the central earth, the first time I was born as the Nuwa clan, since then I have maintained the original Nuwa form, after many incarnations and reincarnations, there are many identities in the Three Realms, I am also in the emperor to manage Tuzheng, reward the officials of Tuzheng. ”

Zhang Xuanchu said: "I see, Niangniang is really powerful, this time I came to find Niangniang to go to Zhongshan, the master has important things to discuss with you, one is to test our determination and mental mentality, and the other is to let me grow up in the process of traveling, I also work hard in the process to complete the task of the master as soon as possible." ”

Hou Tu Niang Niang smiled: "Hehe, sure enough, it is a son of a child who can be taught, I actually already know your purpose, but I still have to wait for your arrival, and I believe that our twelve ancestors are the same, but all this process has to be completed by you, and it is also a test for you." ”

All the immortals also nodded, looked at each other and understood, exchanged ears with each other, and the rest was to understand Niangniang's words. After a while, people talked to each other, inquired, or said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, or said that the law is natural, or said that the accident law of human feelings, or said the family education department.

At the same time, there was a humane in the crowd: "Today's Zhang Xianren, there are two female sons, there are more fairy island red pandas, as well as bird country dragons and bird people, and there are also the witch gods under the mountain, it is not easy to see here, come to this place in the spiritual mountain, there is no extra thanks, I will collect the rare treasures in the mountains, the spirit fruit of the mountains and rivers, the land fairy grass, a pot of use, please ask the fairy maids, please serve the food." ”

I only saw the apse, I don't know when a large group of fairies have gathered, all of them Tingting Yuli, Fanghua is peerless, everyone has a treasure bowl and jade basin in their hands, there is food in each bowl, it is the mountain spirit wild fruit, it is the rare treasure, it is the delicious food, it is the wine and curry, it is the Qiong syrup and jade liquid, all of them go into battle, and the beauty enters the table. The fairy boy had already changed the tables and chairs in the room and put all kinds of good things on the table.

And those immortals said loudly: "All the guests who came, the fairy gods, the Kunlun princess, the disciples of Zhongshan, the witch gods under the mountain, and the immortals on the Lingshan Mountain, all came to the throne one by one. ”

There is this immortal who leads everyone to the table, and Hou Tu Niang Niang and Qingxiao Niang Niang also come to the table. Qingxiao Yuanjun said to everyone: "Everyone came here, but also to manage these mountains and rivers hard work, at this moment, everyone has been sitting, all the time, I have been in the nine days, a few days ago I heard the waiter said that after the arrival of Tu Yuanjun, I also came to the world to take this opportunity to see, but I didn't expect to see a few guests back here, today everyone drinks a few more cups of jade wine, in this mountain to drink more Lingquan elixir, white milk chalcedony. ”

Towards the delicious food on the table, the immortals and gods have long been salivating, rare immortal things, many divine objects come from the nine heavens, and the hearts of the immortals are put together. All of a sudden, everyone's appetite was greatly boosted, and they were rushing to rob the spiritual fruit on the plate, the jade wine in the cup, the delicious food in the bowl, all kinds of immortal things, Zhang Xuanchu saw that everyone was so fond of food, and began to eat a few quietly, in Kunlun Xianguo Jiayao ate a lot, and there were many in the Qiankun bag, at this time, it seemed that all the immortals and gods rarely ate these immortal things, so that they made themselves quite interested in the immortal family. Yunxia and Zhiling symbolically ate a little fairy fruit, and nothing else moved.

At this moment, the panda's wine-loving personality is exposed, and even Kuyuko has learned to drink like a play. The panda raised his wine glass, first toasted Qingxiao Niangniang and Houtu Niangniang a few more glasses, and then called the immortals brothers, and drank that drunk like a dream, everyone ate the table and chairs, and drank drunk like a dream.
