CHAPTER XXXIV
Back at the Senluo Temple, the Five Evil Divine Disciples found that there was no one in the original team, and they were all waiting for the life-saving water devoutly. As soon as they saw him come back, they all hugged him and asked eagerly, "...... Did you get any water from the river that day?"
The disciple smiled and pointed to the bamboo tube in his hand: "Isn't it." As he spoke, he pulled Qinggu and let her lie down, and asked Yan Luojun to help restrain her stupid and trembling soul, and then opened the bamboo tube and poured a pool of water from the Tianhe River into Qinggu's invisible body......
The yin people standing on the side were dumbfounded, they couldn't fathom such a big tube of water poured down without leaking a drop - the magician couldn't help but be curious, reached out and touched it, and exclaimed: "It's strange, Qinggu has flesh on her body, it's quite strong." β
All the yin people knew that the soul was invisible, how could there be flesh, and they touched it in disbelief. Sure enough, Qinggu's body was hot, not as illusory and invisible as before.
Yan Luojun said happily: "Qinggu has returned to the yang." β
The apprentice nodded, and opened the five life points of Qinggu, she immediately sat up and asked impatiently, "Have I returned the yang?"
"Touch it yourself. β
As soon as she stood up and touched her body, she couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt in front of Yan Luojun and the disciple, and kowtowed three times in a row.
The disciple said: "You are already a member of the Yang Realm of the world, it is not appropriate to stay in the West for a long time, so let's leave quickly." β
Qinggu burst into tears: "This farewell, I don't know when I can see all my benefactors......"
Yan Luojun sighed with emotion: "Qinggu, it is better if your comeback to the world goes smoothly this time, if you come back at any time in case of difficulties, Xitian will never refuse you." β
When Qinggu stood on the earth, it coincided with the morning glow and the rising sun...... She has grown so big, it seems that today she only discovered that the morning glow is so beautiful and charming, and the wisps of glow are even more mysterious and colorful through the layers of misty sand.
However, when she lowered her head and quickly pulled back her thoughts of release, it was hard to believe that she was standing on the earth of the world in the face of the scorched black and cracked red ground.
She looked around the desert and cried out in her heart: Oh my God, where can I go to find my mother...... However, she knew that no one could help her, and she would not come to help her, so she prepared herself from the heart and used the most difficult adversity as a litmus test to temper herself.
Under the domination of such thoughts, she searched for three days and three nights in the deserted land in one breath - but she achieved nothing except fatigue and scars all over her body.
In the middle of the night on the third day, Qinggu, who was tired of both body and will, finally collapsed on the road tired and fell unconsciousβI don't know how long later, she suddenly saw an old woman with a shoulder basket beside her in a daze.
Qinggu wondered, she didn't even bump into a bird for three days, where did the old woman come from in the middle of the night...... Don't?
The old woman seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid, this natural and man-made disaster has made you miserable, come, I still have a few loaves here, fill your hunger." β
Qinggu was very wary of the old woman, but as soon as she smelled the fragrant bun, her strong appetite quickly broke through the poor defense, and she took the bun in three bites and swallowed it. The old woman saw that she was eating happily, and touched one from the basket and gave it to her, but Qinggu stuffed it to her mouth but stopped.
The old woman was puzzled and asked, "What, it's not delicious?"
Qinggu shook her head: "Mother-in-law, can you keep this bun?"
When the old woman heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I have given you this bun, whether you eat it or keep it for yourself." β
Qinggu was very happy and carefully hid the bun in her arms. The old woman said in wonder: "If a bun is left for today and not tomorrow, it is better to have a full meal." β
Qinggu shook her head again: "Mother-in-law doesn't know, I want to keep this bun for Furong Niangniang to eat." β
When the old woman heard this, she was not surprised, but sighed: "Little girl, you should eat this bun yourself, I'm afraid the mother will not be blessed." β
Qinggu's heart sank, and she realized at this time that the old woman in front of her was not extraordinary: "Why did my mother-in-law say this?"
The old woman sighed: "Niangniang was suppressed by Huang Sanpo under the Daqing Mountain, she was tied up and couldn't move, how could she eat buns." β
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on Qinggu on a sunny day, and she suddenly felt that the world was spinning in front of her, as if she was about to turn the sky upside down...... It took a long time to cry, the cry was faint and sad, and the old woman was also emotional: "Little girl, things are man-made, and crying and crying before the great cause is achieved will hurt the will." β
Qinggu heard the mystery, she knelt in front of the old woman and cried: "Mother-in-law, please show me the way, as long as you can save the mother and help her complete the great cause, my Qinggu will not hesitate to break her bones." β
But the old woman shook her head: "...... Daqing Mountain is easy to turn, but Niangniang is tied by Huang Sanpo's golden thread, if you want to save her, you must set Yin and Yang in one Sang Ming ......"
Qinggu interrupted her words and said happily: "Sang Ming is my little master, but I don't know where he is?"
The old woman smiled mysteriously: "I know Sang Ming's whereabouts, he was killed by the Five Evil Gods under the 'Town Demon Mountain' at the pole of the North Heaven, and he will never be able to turn over." β
β...... Sang Ming is Niangniang's protector god, he is upright and loyal, why should the five evil gods suppress him?"
The old woman sneered: "The difference between good and evil is one word, who can tell the difference, little girl, if you want to save Niangniang unless you rescue Sang Ming first, I don't know if you are willing?"
"Yes, willing", Qinggu suddenly saw the old woman smile mysteriously at her, her face suddenly flushed, and she lowered her head unnaturally.
But the old woman didn't let her go, and deliberately asked, "Are you really willing or falsely willing?"
β...... Whether it's Sang Ming or Niangniang, as long as I can do it, I will never have two hearts. β
"What if you trade your life?"
Qinggu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded decisively: "Okay." β
The old woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and grabbed Qinggu and whispered to her. After speaking, he admonished: "...... Breaking the Five Evil Gods' talisman against the order of the Jade Emperor is not trivial, you have to do it yourself. β
Qinggu nodded, and the old woman gave her a pair of green cloth shoes: "It will take you to the North Heavenly Pole." β
Qinggu felt that her eyes were hot and painful, and she opened her eyes in a daze to find that the sun had been hanging for a long time. She held the pair of green cloth shoes and understood that she had a strange dream, and after a while, she remembered the scene in the dream vividly, and then touched the bun in the dream that was really lying in her arms.
At this time, she was still skeptical about the dream, but the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and she put on green cloth shoes with the mood of trying.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up, my body suddenly took off. She screamed in fright at first, but it didn't take long to realize that although she couldn't help herself, she was flying steadily and really heading north.
She believed the dream and closed her eyes and let it fly. She was so anxious that she didn't dare to open her eyes - but what was worse was that the farther north she went, the colder it became, and she almost suffocated from the oncoming cold, and finally couldn't help it: "Slow down, slow down." β
After shouting more than ten times in a row, not only did it not slow down, but the choking cold filled her stomach, and she sneezed a few times, she relieved her breath and wanted to shout again...... Suddenly, his feet sank and he quickly fell to the ground.
After her feet landed on the ground, Qinggu opened her eyes and looked around - it turned out that she had reached the pole of the northern sky, and everywhere she saw was a white and shining iceberg, and the layers of icebergs were undulating and stretching into the sky......
Just when Qinggu was in trouble, an old voice suddenly floated out of the cloudy sky: "...... Little girl, walk to the right to find the 'Demon Mountain'. β
Qinggu heard this voice like an old woman in a dream, and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, where are you ......?"
However, even if she shouted loudly, there was no movement, and Qinggu knew that the old woman must have her secrets, so she was no longer reluctant, and walked towards the right front according to her words.
The ice at the North Celestial Pole is as bright as a mirror, and it is extremely slippery. Qinggu was fortunate to wear those green cloth shoes to avoid slipping, but she also needs to be careful when walking, especially climbing the iceberg and sliding to the bottom without paying attention - after tossing for a long time, she was so tired that her bones fell apart and she was panting.
However, God seemed to be joking with her, or tempering her will, and tortured her to the point of exhaustion, when the "Demon Mountain" appeared in front of her like a ghost.
After discovering the "Demon Mountain", Qinggu's eyes bloomed, and an invisible force arose, and the fatigue and frustration gathered in the cells disappeared, and she shouted excitedly: "Sang Ming, Solo Cave Master, where are you......"
Sang Ming and the snake man could still move at first, but after being restrained by the "Demon Suppression Talisman" of the Five Demon Gods, they couldn't move for half a minute.
This iceberg is actually the northernmost extreme point of Qiankun, and the extreme cold is beyond wordsβthe poor snake man turned into a stone and left Sang Ming in less than three days.
It was only at this time that Sang Ming saw through the insidious ugliness behind this inhumane punishment...... But unfortunately, not only could he not help the snake man, but his life gradually faded as time passed.
"Town Demon Mountain" Qinggu shouted for a long time, Sang Ming heard it, but his whole body was restrained and he couldn't answer. How could Qinggu know this, when she shouted a thousand times, she knelt in front of the "Demon Mountain": "...... If you are really in it, you will manifest your spirit......"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the "Town Demon Mountain" really shook - Qinggu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Master Sang Ming, you should be exhausted, and the responsibility of protecting Niangniang is handed over to you......"
After Qinggu said these words with a pale face, she knelt down in the direction of the world and bowed three times - after doing everything she thought she should do, she resolutely got up and crashed headlong into the "Demon Mountain" according to the instructions of the old woman in her dream......
A stream of bright red blood gushed out of her body and trickled down the mountain...... Then it seeped into the iceberg and invaded the body of Sang Ming at the bottom of the mountain.
Maybe it's providence, maybe it's a coincidence. Qinggu's blood had already dissolved into Sang Ming's body, thus breaking his immortal bones and becoming a strange bone of yin and yang, and this time Qinggu sacrificed with blood not only broke the demon suppression talisman of the five evil gods, but also moistened his bloodline and body because of blood attraction.
Sang Ming under the iceberg couldn't move his hands or speak, but he knew everything that was happening outside - when the crimson blood soaked his whole body and melted and imprisoned - he couldn't hold back any longer, shouted hysterically, and slammed the "Demon Suppression Mountain" and turned it upside down......
However, in front of his eyes, there was only a piece of red and bright blood, flowing on the snow-white ice, steaming hot, and refusing to freeze for a long time.
There was a brief silence, but Sang Ming felt as if it had passed a long century...... He buried his head in his knees and whimpered, "...... Silly Qinggu, why do you exchange your life for me, so that I can feel at ease with Sang Ming......"
Just when Sang Ming knelt in front of Qinggu's blood and water to confess, a fragrant wind with a peculiar smell suddenly wafted.
Sang Ming was surprised. Just when he was wondering, Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice sounded: "Sang Ming, you are about to go to Daqingshan to rescue the world's mother......"
"Bodhisattva, Qinggu was guided by you?"
"Yes, only Qinggu can save you. β
"The Bodhisattva has a charitable heart, why do you bother to let Qinggu die when you are here?"
"Presumptuous!" Guanyin Bodhisattva shouted, "Sang Ming, you are full of sins and cause public indignation, who dares to touch you again." You are also destined for Qinggu, and she caused you to damage the fairy fetus and fairy bones, if you don't repay the remedies with your life, she will never have a bright day. At this point, she breathed a sigh of relief, "...... This time it is just a match according to the will of God, in short, focus on the overall situation, and don't miss the big things because of personal gains and losses. β
"That'...... Where is the mother of the world now?" Sang Ming lowered his head.
She was tied by Huang Sanpo with a gold thread and was held at the foot of Daqing Mountain, and she was sealed with a mountain talisman. The mountain sealing charm is afraid of your Qiankun stick, as long as you hit three sticks, you can open Daqing Mountain, but the golden thread is a treasure of the Heavenly Palace, and you can't help it. β
"That'...... What to do?"
"I'll give you an antidote and burn it on the body of the world's mother, and the gold thread will break by itself. β
The big green mountains are towering into the sky, and there is no end in sight. It's a pity that the curling sand and dust are hazy and wandering, like an invisible net scattered on the great green mountains that should be extremely beautiful but are now scorched and black.
Daqingshan is crying.
Daqingshan is in tears.
Naturally, the life of the mountain god of Daqingshan is not easy, he is full of complaints and grievances all day long, if it weren't for the fear of Huang Sanpo, he would have slipped away.
As soon as he opened his eyes that morning, the mountain god saw that the corners of his eyes were jumping, and he knew that this was a bad omen. At the moment, I was afraid to go out, and I was cautious when I walked two steps. He thought in his heart that if he stayed at home and didn't provoke anyone, he would always avoid bad luck.
Unexpectedly, just when the sun was three poles, Daqingshan suddenly shook. The mountain god was shocked, and dared to stick his head out of the ground, but found a young man with angry hair and no demon or fairy standing in front of the mountain.
The mountain god didn't know the details, and he boldly bluffed: "Where did you come from, the wild boy, dare to exert power here with me, don't die." β
The person who came was Sang Ming, who was just about to smash the mountain. Hearing this, he saw the mountain god shouting, so he asked: "Mountain god, the mother of the world can be locked up under your mountain, send it out quickly." β
When the mountain god heard the mention of the world's mother, he was shocked: those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. How could this wild boy know that Niangniang was locked up at the foot of my mountain, could it be that Huang Sanpo leaked the secret...... When I thought about it, I felt unreasonable, but I didn't dare to hand over my mother easily. He forced a smile and said with a sigh of relief: "This little fairy, my Daqing Mountain is innocent, don't wronged me!"
Sang Ming sneered: "Dead Mountain God, toast and don't eat and drink, I'll beat you with a stick to make you wake up." With a loud "coax", the big green mountain collapsed by a small half. The mountain god didn't dare to let go of the fart, and ran for his life with his tail between his legs.
Sang Ming didn't care about it, turned to the back of Daqingshan and held down the cloud head, and raised the Qiankun stick again, which split most of Daqingshan. The aftermath was not settled, and in one go, Sang Ming smashed the third stick.
Three strokes of the Qiankun stick, and the result of beating Daqingshan to the bottom. He also made the law drive away the choking sand, and after a little search, he saw a figure at the root of the mountain, and ran to take a look, and it was indeed Furong Niangniang. It's just that she is bound all over her body and her face is covered with ash - Sang Ming was sad, he thought that he had suffered a lot, but he didn't expect that such a weak woman as Furong was also suffering from this kind of torture......
After sighing, he took out the amulet, rubbed his fingers and lit a fire on Furong's body, the fire of the amulet quickly burned all over the body, and when the fire was gone, he only heard a "pop, pop" noise, and the golden thread that Huang Sanpo regarded as a treasure was all broken. But unfortunately, the Silk Sword was also burned to ashes. Sang Ming was sad and happy and lifted his sleeves to wipe the dust off Fleur's face, but to his surprise, Fleur's snort and pulse were gone.
This was unexpected, and he couldn't help but complain: Bodhisattva, how can you hand over the angry mother to me, how can I have the art of resurrecting the dead......
Suddenly, the voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva came from the clouds: "...... She suffered the three major calamities of the Dragon King, and was "sealed the mountain" by Huang Sanpo, the yang energy has long been exhausted so there is no breath, you just let her bask in the sun, see the moon at night, and bathe for 7749 days after she will recover. β
Sang Ming was impatient and shouted: "The Bodhisattva has great powers, send compassion to wake her up, why bother to delay it for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and ask for rain by mistake." β
The Guanyin Bodhisattva in the clouds sneered when he heard it, and without saying a word, Gu Zi turned his head and rose sharply into the sky.
Sang Ming naturally understood the mystery of this, but at this time he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: ...... I have become a pestilence, and everyone avoids me, what is the way of the world?
said that it was the mother of the world begging for rain, but at this time, for Sang Ming, the whole burden was on his shoulders, and in front of him was a paralyzed hibiscus......
Although there is no doubt that he will be able to recover after forty-nine days, what about the long seventy-seven forty-nine days nowβat this moment, he has no mind to think about how to complete the cause of praying for rain, he is thinking about how to spend these forty-nine days.
It was dark and bright again.
He sat like this all night, and thought about it all night. I finally understood a truth: instead of waiting, it is better to take a ride and count it as a ride. But it didn't take long for Fleur to walk on his back before he was exhausted and panting and collapsed to the groundβjust when he was depressed, a thought popped into him: wouldn't flying in the clouds be faster and easier?
At that moment, he attracted the cloud head, moved Fleur up, and just flew together to "snap" and leak her out of the cloud head. Sang Ming knew that she was a mortal thing that could not be driven lightly, but he didn't admit this evil, and he was clever enough to carry her on her back and want to step on the clouds. It's good now, even he can't float himself.
After a period of vain, he had to be discouraged: the world is so bad that the auspicious clouds can't be driven - he looked at the empty valley, and couldn't think of any clever tricks, it seems that he has memorized the forty-nine days' journey.
More than 20 days have passed.
Sang Ming carried Hibiscus day and night, crossing dozens of mountains and passing through one village after another that had become ruins. It's spring, and the mountains and rivers should be lush and green...... However, not only did he not see a trace of green in front of him, but also the earth was cracked and about to collapse, and everywhere there were large or small, deep or shallow pits filled with thick dust, and even if he didn't pay attention to falling, he would have to scrape several layers of skin - what made him even more chilling was that almost every hole was full of white bones, and it was a corpse pit...... Seeing everything in his eyes and sadness in his heart, Sang Ming was resentful and scolded God for being unfair, but at the same time, he also clearly understood that he was just a small character who did not enter the generation, and could not move Allah to purify all sentient beings, which also inspired him even more to be determined to deliver Furong safely to Longchi Mountain and complete the great cause as soon as possible.
It was nearly noon that day, and Sang Ming was walking on a rugged mountain road. Suddenly, there was a commotion, and Sang Ming was suspicious: I have been walking in this barren mountain and mountain for so many days, and I haven't seen a single worm, where is the human voice?
However, he was stunned by what he saw, and in front of him was a small village, and hundreds of men, women, and children gathered at the entrance of the village, all smiling and busy, as if they were doing some kind of celebration......
And when those people saw Sang Ming, they all ran up enthusiastically, hooking their shoulders and backs to make love.
"You...... Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, when those villagers saw Sang Ming's nervous appearance, they smiled from ear to ear, pointing at him as if they were monsters.
Sang Ming was really confused, and asked suspiciously: "Everything in the world has long withered, and there is no grass, why do you have a unique scenery?"
His words led to a burst of laughter, and then a gray-haired old man flashed out of the crowd and said with a smile: "The guest asked funny, this is the southern realm of the world, the wind and rain have always been smooth, and the grains are abundant, where does everything wither and not grow?"
Although Sang Ming was beating a drum in his heart, he could see that the old man was also kind and not like a demon. Thinking about it, this place is close to the south, maybe the old dragon king of Longchi Mountain has sheltered the creatures here......
Before he could come up with an ugly man, the old man pushed and pulled him to the banquet that had already been arranged, roasting whole pigs, roasting whole sheep, roasting whole chickens, green, yellow, green, purple, blue, and red dishes were placed on a table. The wine and food are tangy and drunk-although Sang Ming is a super yin and yang person, anorexic to the fireworks in the world, but he accidentally bumped into this delicacy and was so excited that his stomach growled.
Before Sang Ming could say anything, the overly enthusiastic villagers rushed up and poured a large bowl of wine into his mouth. I didn't have time to catch my breath, and the second and third bowls came over again...... It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Sang Ming's appetite was great, and he simply didn't do it endlessly, and drank five bowls of wine one after another......
When it was getting dark, Sang Ming wiped the oil on his mouth, and drunkenly carried Hibiscus on his back to say goodbye to the hospitable villagers. Those villagers saw that they couldn't keep him, so they had to send him out of the village with sincerity.
Sang Ming also said that people in the world are kind, and the meeting in Pingshui made him have a full meal to wash away the dust, but what he definitely didn't expect was that a catastrophe of destruction had quietly forced him.
