Chapter 31 The Words of No Return to the People Determine the Lives of the People
[The sword qi rushes to the clouds, and Jialan has a golden pill]
The Tianluo Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, are located in the northern part of the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty and are the border of Xuanzhou in Northern Wu.
The foothills on the south side of Tianluo Mountain are close to the broad Tianluo Plateau, and most of them are nomadic people who are mainly tribes, collectively known as the Heheerdan tribe. The people of the tribe are simple and simple, and they are especially good at riding and shooting.
Horizontally inward and inward, the mountains are undulating. The low ones are stacked with forests, and the high ones are covered with snow. The vertical and horizontal ravines in the mountain are like a ghostly creation. In the meantime, there are high mountains and ice and snow melt into streams, streams converge into rivers, and more than a dozen large rivers flow through the Tianluo Plateau, providing a steady stream of vitality for the Heheerdan tribe.
Hundreds of miles north along the mountain, a huge abyss that stretches thousands of miles across the Tianluo Mountain system is divided. The abyss is more than ten miles wide, and the clouds on it cover the fog barrier, and its depth cannot be seen. From time to time, there are strange birds hovering in the middle, interspersed with clouds up and down, chirping and hissing, and the hollow valley echoes endlessly.
This is the forbidden abyss that is said on the rivers and lakes.
It is rumored that at the bottom of this abyss, there is a legendary inheritance of cultivators, and there are often brave people from the rivers and lakes who come from thousands of miles to explore, but few people can return again. Those who came back only said that one or two caves could occasionally be found on the cliff face, and the caves were mostly dusty, as if they had been inhabited a long, long time ago.
At the other end of the abyss, there is a world of ice and snow, the snowy peaks are towering, between the ups and downs of the peaks, there is a peak rising from the ground, connecting the nine clouds and the sky above, and the yellow spring surging from the ground below. The misty ice and snow cover the rocks, and the strange rocks are unclimbable.
The mountain was named Gobrama Mountain by the local people and the people of the Hordan tribe. It roughly means mother, sacred, and source, and is a sacred mountain in the minds of the locals. The abyss that separates the sacred mountain is named Zangglola, which roughly means demons, hell, and death.
In Heheerdan's view, there is a clear distinction between good and evil in this world, and the gods are just, which can create snow water to give birth to sentient beings, and can also lay hell to punish the wicked. Therefore, once the people of the tribe make a big mistake, they will be thrown into the abyss and used to sacrifice to the sacred mountain to obtain the forgiveness of the gods.
Few people know that this highest peak has another name.
Mountains of no return.
The sun shines on the mountain of no return in the early morning, the whole iceberg is shining, the eyes are snow-white, the gods are dazzling, and the beauty is very.
"Huh~!"
Snow wings covered the air, and a long hiss was heard, accompanied by a large shadow moving rapidly. alarmed the crowd on the stone platform at the edge of the abyss.
The group was lined up in a long line, numbering no less than thirty people, dressed in local costumes, and one of them was tied up with five flowers, carried by two strong men, and was heading towards an altar in the abyss. The altar is close to the abyss, and there is a banner that reaches the sky on it, and the flag is tattooed with the golden dragon totem of the Southern Tang Kingdom.
At this moment, they all stopped, lowered their heads, folded their arms on their chests, and muttered something in their mouths, as if they were praying and worshipping.
As the giant bird flew by, they seemed to become more religious, their heads lowered, and their voices a little faster.
The snow-white giant bird flew across the abyss, went straight to the mountain of no return, and gradually disappeared from the eyes of everyone.
According to the eighth volume of the Chronicles of the Mountains and Seas, there are birds in Beiluo, whose wings cover the sky and travel thousands of miles in a day. The whole body is as white as snow, and it is a snow sculpture. The silver-beaked sword claw broke through the strange strength, and flew into the nine heavens with a fluttering wing.
The snow sculpture circled along the Mount of No Return, swooped down, and stopped at a wide platform halfway up the mountain. The platform is as smooth as a mirror, and the whole body is made of ice, and it is roughly a kilometer in circumference. There are 12 tall pillars in one circle, on which 12 heavenly generals are carved respectively, the lines are simple, the carving is vigorous, and the mystery reveals the majestic atmosphere.
The Twelve Heavenly Generals are also called the Twelve Heavenly Officials. Originating from the celestial phases around the North Star. It is mainly used in divination, and it is the main means of predicting the success or failure of things, and it is called Renshu.
Nowadays, divination has two major streams: "Yishu" and "Renshu". The former is based on the Bagua calculus and is mastered by Taoists. The latter is based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and has always been respected by emperors and generals.
It is rumored that it is one of the three styles of the ancient Xuannu who gave the Yellow Emperor to defeat the Emperor, and it is called the same name as Qimen Dunjia and Taiyi Divine Arts, called "three styles", and there is a saying that "proficient in the three styles of the gods".
It's a pity that Qimen Dunjia and Taiyi magic have been lost for many years, only the first three of the big six are passed down to the Warring States Period, and they are also incomplete inheritances.
On the twelve pillars in front of you, each of them is engraved with inscriptions, which are lined up in turn, and each of them says:
The snake fire is in the sky, and the Lord is terrified and afraid. The Vermilion Bird is on fire at noon, and the main tongue hangs from the official
Liuhe wood is in Mao, the main yin and private harmony, hook Chen Tu is in Chen, and the main battle is litigious.
Qinglongmu is in Yin, the lord is rich and celebrated, the noble man is ugly, and the god of the lord is blessed.
The queen of heaven is in the water, the sister of the main image, the gold of the sun is in the unitary, and the main disadvantage is hidden.
The basalt water is in the son, the master is dead and the thief is in the future, and the main crown is in the future.
The white tiger gold is in Shen, the main disease is buried, the sky and the earth are in the sun, and the lord is deceived and unbelieved.
In the middle of the platform, a huge corona sits on it, and two people are standing on one side of the corona, one in a blue robe and the other in a white robe. Judging by their appearance, their beards and hair are all white and wrinkled, but they are all old people.
The snow sculpture slowly stopped at the side of the two, and a blue-clothed man rolled down, covered in blood and embarrassed.
It was the middle-aged woman in blue.
The old man in blue hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up, and said:
"Is there a result?"
The woman's eyes were scattered, her eyes were blank, and she said:
"The queen of heaven is in ...... Lin'an City, Yanyu Building. ”
After saying this, the woman died of anger and was silent.
Gently putting down the woman's corpse, the blue-robed old man got up, his eyes were far-reaching, and he looked into the distance, his mouth was blank.
"Recently, the astrological signs are in the first four, and the earth god is in Chen, hooking and sinking Beidou. The latter is in the previous one, the god of fire is in the afternoon, and the Suzaku is dark. I watched the latter one, but I didn't expect the sky to rise, the water and soil connected, these two evils collided, the two auspicious appeared, the sky will be in chaos, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. ”
The white-robed old man had a solemn face, twisted his long beard in his hands, and said:
"Since the god of water is in Hai, the god of earth is ugly, and the two are connected, indicating that the queen of heaven meets a nobleman, as for the image of hooking and sinking the vermilion bird, or because of the two, or because of the two to end, now since the day after the appearance of the smoke and rain building, the noble person of Tianyi will not leave its side. ”
As for the other two murderers, they still need to be deduced, and this time Lan Qing missed, which was expected. Maybe...... Let's test it......"
The old man in blue pondered for a long time and nodded.
"The stakes are high, and everything should be the priority. ”
"The queen of heaven has to meet a nobleman, so I have to give up for the time being and invite it back, the change here is unexpected, maybe you can consider letting the cloth worker help. ”
The old man in blue is named Fan Li, and the white man has nine famous banquets.
If the people of the world learn that these two are still alive, they will be shocked and incoherent.
Fan Li and Yan Jiudao were the star masters of Zhao Yan and the two countries during the Warring States Period five hundred years ago, according to legend, the two successively inherited the Guigu, each with the ability to reach the sky, and Zhao Yan rose rapidly with the help of the two, becoming the two most powerful countries at that time. Unexpectedly, the Qin State was helped by Li Si, the yin and yang family, and they were invincible all the way, and finally the two dynasties were defeated by Qin, and the two have not been seen since.
Now that the two of them are here, it is really against the sky.
What is the mystery of this mountain of no return? Could it be that there is really a secret that can make people live forever? Since these two people are still alive, are the others still alive?
I'm afraid that this answer is only known to those who do not return to the mountain.
Yan Jiudao was stunned for a moment when he heard Fan Li's words, and immediately shook his head and said:
"It's still early to dispatch the cloth workers, and the master has left three tricks and an innate sword qi in gestation. Now that the bag is empty, and the sword qi is just the masterpiece, we might as well use this sword qi to test the depth of that one first. ”
Fan Li nodded, his gaze far-reaching.
"Perhaps, this sword qi was prepared by the master for us for this noble person, and all this is too coincidental. ”
Immediately beckoned, and suddenly two middle-aged men in blue clothes with swords came over and carried away the corpse. Fan Liyan Jiudao gradually walked through the square, crossed a huge portal ten zhang high, and entered the belly of the mountain.
There is a cave in the belly of the mountain, and the purpose is a vast hall, there are twenty-four ice carved jade girls all around, holding pearls in their hands, and the treasure light is seizing. The ice sculptures of the twelve heavenly gods occupy all directions, and the brilliance flows, and they are majestic and majestic.
The two of them walked through the main hall, walked backwards, and once again passed through a long corridor of ice crystals, and saw long ice bridges in front of them.
The ice bridge extends in all directions, connecting large and small caves, each of which has a portal, and it can be vaguely seen that there are figures walking around, sitting or lying, or punching or dancing swords, which are actually practicing moves.
Beneath the ice bridge is a huge black hole, which is extremely gloomy, and there is a demonic gaze in it, which is terrifying. Above the ice bridge, there was also a hollow, and a white dot was faintly visible, with a hint of light shining through.
At the center of the intersection of the ice bridge, there is a wide stone platform, on which the stone platform is engraved with strange figures, the light flows, and the gods are extraordinary. A green vine rises out of nowhere, hovering over it, the rattan is clear and green, full of vitality.
At the bottom of the vine, a pale golden gourd hangs, in the center of the pattern.
Fan Li stepped forward, holding the bottom of the gourd in his hand and holding it up, while reciting words in his mouth.
"Heavenly multiplication of the Tao fruit, the manifestation of all things, the sword rushes to the void, the fierce and broken, the auspicious is auspicious, the thousands of gases, the transformation of a Qingxuan, the north of the sky a god general, disease!. ”
pinched the trick with one hand, but saw that the gourd in his hand suddenly had a golden light, turning into a golden pillar of light and rushing straight to the top of the cave, and then rushed through the white dots and went straight to the sky.
After a long time, the golden light dissipated, and the portals of each cave were opened one after another, and everyone looked at the dissipated golden light silently.
Outside the Nine Heavens, a pale golden sword qi broke through the sky, pierced through the clouds, and roared straight towards one person.
......
Afternoon.
A black monkey appeared in front of the door of the Yanyu Building.
To be exact, a savage, or a mother.
She was abducted to an acrobatic troupe and used to play monkey tricks.
But she's not a monkey trickster.
Because the monkey charmer was chasing her behind with a whip.
She is a monkey used to perform juggling, a swarthy monkey.
The white and blue waiter at the door looked at the black monkey funny, and then looked at the monkey trickster playfully.
The monkey man was in a mess, with a bloodstain on his right face, five scratches clearly visible, and red and white.
The monkeys in their own house can't be managed well, and this time they are not playing monkeys, but being played by monkeys.
The monkey man looked at the black monkey parked in front of the building, and was so angry that he went straight to the monkey's brain with a whip.
If this is solid, it will hurt for a long time if you don't die.
"Smack!"
The long whip was grabbed by the black monkey, and with a vigorous shake, the monkey trickster suddenly flew over.
"Z~"
The black monkey grinned at the monkey trickster for a while, and then grabbed his collar and threw it hard, and the monkey trickster flew directly out of a hundred meters away and fell to the ground.
The black monkey was dressed in a tiger skin, and in this almost May day, sweating profusely, steaming all over his body, and a strange smell spread far away.
Seeing her walking towards the door of the building, Bai Lanshou covered his nose in disgust and raised his other hand to make a threatening gesture. But unexpectedly, she came closer.
When he got closer, he saw the black monkey raise his dark palms amid the scolding of the white and blue attendants.
This is...... Human hands.
This turned out to be a person!
The white and blue attendants were surprised, but still disgusted.
Ignoring it, the black man stretched out a hand with two handwritings on it.
I saw the black monkey staring at his palm, thinking for a long time, and finally said five words. Its voice was jerky and dry, like a thirsty desert walker, and like an eighty-year-old man, muddy.
"Smoke... Rain... Building, cloud... Black. ”
Looking at the palm of his hand, the left palm is impressively printed with the word "Xuanxuan".
"You... Who are you, do you know Yun Gongzi?"
The white and blue attendants were suddenly a little surprised.
"I... It's Nolan. ”
......
Nolan Gree is the only surviving royal descendant of the Hordan tribe. Her Grey tribe is the largest tribe on the Tianluo Plateau, with strong soldiers and horses, and it is also the ruler there, and it is a well-deserved royal family.
Nolan Grey has loved martial arts since she was a child, and her strength is far beyond ordinary people, when her peers are playing, she has begun to practice martial arts, and she has been quite heroic at a young age, and when she grows up, she will definitely be a female warrior.
Who said fifteen years ago, the Southern Tang Dynasty raised troops to fight, and within half a year, He Erdan was beaten to pieces, and the entire Gray royal family was slaughtered. Xue Beixing, who was known as the Golden Armor God General, firmly planted the battle flag of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the Tianluo altar. From then on, the north of the abyss belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Nolan Gray, who was only five years old, took advantage of the chaos to escape and ran to the depths of Tianluo Mountain, only to escape. For fifteen years, she has lived in the primeval forest of Tianluo Mountain, fighting with beasts all day long, and has developed a surprising skill.
The reason why he survived was because Innolan met a man in the forest.
It took the man three years to pass on a set of bodhichitta sutras to her, and he didn't say his name. After Nolan finished his studies, he quietly left.
This person is a bald monk.
In the years that followed, Nolan learned to survive on his own. Isolated from the world for a long time, Nolan has long been like a savage. She had even forgotten how to speak, the soles of her feet and hands were rough, and her nails were barbed and sharp. She can easily move freely through the jungle bushes, and her body is agile like a monkey.
Just last month, she stepped into the Garan Temple, the westernmost part of Tianluo Mountain. I saw the monk again. The monk is still in his forties, and after twelve years, there is no trace of time left on his face.
Seeing Nolan, the monk was stunned for a while, and finally showed a trace of pity in his eyes, played the Buddha number in his hand, and said:
"Although the benefactor has not attained enlightenment, he has attained Bodhi. ”
Nolan's eyes were bright, and he yelled at the monk a few times.
The monk shook his head and said:
"The donor wants to capture the tiger and slay the dragon, firstly, the cultivation is not enough, and secondly, the understanding is not enough, after all, it is just a void. ”
Nolan knelt down, holding a snow orchid in his hand and handing it to the monk.
"I... Remember... Finish. ”
The monk's face changed dramatically when he saw Xue Lan, and his body trembled.
"Donor...... You've found it, you're ......."
The monk took the orchid, his hands trembled, and he looked at it carefully.
The fragrance of Shenoran, the flower posture is half-open, the whole body is exquisite and elegant, and the smile is beautiful. The petals of Xuelan are very small, the leaves are slender like willow leaves, and the veins are clearly visible, simple but elegant. The green leaves are verdant, weak and tenacious.
The flower color is elegant and white, quiet and indisputable. The floral fragrance is light, cold and fragrant. It is gaudy but unassuming, like a humble gentleman, and seems to symbolize all good things. Charming and elegant, breathtaking.
The monk closed his eyes. Vaguely, there seemed to be a beautiful woman in the fallen city who moved out of the fragrance of orchids, caressing her cheeks, and tears slipped down the abyss.
Ah Ning, you once said that you left a snow orchid in Tianluo and asked me to pass on the Bodhicitta Sutra to her. If one day, if she can come to see me before holding on, she will be able to go out of the Buddha Gate and take her all over the world.
But the world is so big, my heart is heavy, where should I go?
Rather dry than forget, three more unforgettable bitterness.
When the flowers bloom, Xuelan is willing to be an ageless monk.
The monk had tears in his eyes, and he didn't care about Nolan, who was kneeling beside him, but turned around and walked away.
When he came back again, he held a mellow gold pill in his hand and handed it to Nolan.
"I won't go with you, eat this golden pill, you and I have nothing to do with it, act in the future, life and death are up to heaven." ”
The monk turned around and walked out of the temple gate.
When he stopped calling himself a poor monk, it seemed to be a little more pyrotechnic.
Nolan obeyed, at first she only felt very comfortable, and then she felt like her stomach was burning, and she tossed and turned on the ground in pain.
After a long time, the body calmed down, and following the monk's tracks, Nolan followed.
The monk climbed all the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally walked to the strange rock protruding on the side of the abyss, and sat cross-legged. But I don't know where I got a jar of wine, opened the mud and drank it.
After a painful drink, the monk stood up and stood beside the abyss. The cold wind is cold, and the monk's clothes are fluttering, which is quite tragic.
Looking at Nolan behind him, the monk showed a hint of a smile.
"The Bodhi Golden Pill is a holy relic enshrined by the monks of Garan, and this time it is owned by you, and it is also a karma. If you have attained the cause and effect of Buddhism, you must remember not to kill at will in the future. ”
Fu walked up to Nolan again and thought for a moment. Raise her hands in turn, and the index command moves to leave a handwriting.
"Recently, I heard that there is a famous strange person in the Central Plains, this person is in Yanyu Building, and his surname is Yun Mingxuan. In recent days, the spring thunder in the east has been rolling, and the golden light is floating, presumably mostly because of him. If you want to absorb the power of Jindan, you can go to find help, as for whether you can succeed, it depends on the fate of the two of you. ”
In addition, in front of others, he can also be called ...... Uncle Junior. ”
Nolan looked at the words in his palm, stunned, but he didn't know if he understood or something else.
After saying this, the monk seemed to have a matter on his mind, and his face was like gold paper in an instant. When I looked at it again, I was already angry, staggering towards the edge of the cliff.
Nolan looked at the monk's back, raised a palm, and a hoarse voice came out low.
"Daddy......"
The monk smiled gently, his body fell, and he fell into the boundless abyss.
"Amitabha~"
"Amitabha~"
“......”
Behind Nolan, thousands of monks appeared at some point, all the monks sat cross-legged, worshipping and chanting the Buddha's name together, with sad eyes.
"Congratulations to the Lord of the Buddha, out of the Buddha!"
"Congratulations to the Lord of the Buddha, out of the Buddha!"
“......”
Nolan stayed with the monks on the cliffside for three days and three nights, and also listened to the sound of the avenue for three days and three nights.
Then there were twists and turns all the way, down to the Central Plains.
