Chapter VII
Sure enough, it's a living gossip!
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at a glance, the hexagram heart and hexagram are lying on the ground in silence by the faint moonlight.
"This person really has the ability to create such a similar gossip with the mountain range as a line," Xiao Qizi said bluntly, "Earth Emperor Niangniang, look! That mountain is moving." β
Sure enough, there is a "gold-lettered" mountain that is not amazing, and it is slowly moving along the gap between the mountains.
The mountain can walk, too. Master Yuan Kun hurriedly put out the compass on the stars and the earth's veins down...... The swinging pointer of the center of the pan pointed impartially to the gold-lettered mountain.
"The Emperor of the Earth, that's the God of the West Mountain. "Master Yuan Kun was very surprised.
"How is it a mountain?"
"Is the mountain god a mountain?"
Master Yuan Kun analyzed: "The gold-lettered Dushan looks like a mountain, but it is actually a piece of clothing used by the mountain god to disguise, and it may also be the palace he uses to live. Although I have never seen the real mountain gods, they are said to be living beings similar to us, and some of them are still enlightened people in the world. β
The Earth Emperor suddenly realized and urged: "Then let's go quickly, ask the mountain god to let us go, and don't muddy the life-saving water again." β
Although Master Yuankun felt that it might not be possible, he was afraid that it would be dawn when he arrived so far away, not to mention that the mountain road was not easy to walk. But how could he not understand the mood of the Earth Emperor, not only the Earth Emperor, but also himself, hesitated for a moment, and did not wait for the Emperor to ask Master Yuan Kun to measure the speed and direction of the movement of the Xishan God, and chose a shortcut to be on the road.
At this moment, a white light flashed in the night sky, and Xiao Qizi's eyes were sharp, and he shouted, "There is a person sitting on a bird and flying over." β
"Isn't that the Crane Immortal? The Earth Emperor and Furong breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but be surprised when the Crane Immortal Weng flew closer, and the Crane Immortal Weng, who was full of spring breeze in the past, was scattered and panicked at this time, and looked like he was not possessed by his soul.
"It's a big deal...... Big things are not good. The crane fairy jumped off the crane's back, and several stumbles and almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? The Emperor of the Earth grabbed him.
"Earth Emperor, the matter of taking the water of the Heavenly River has been discovered by the Dragon Lord, and he has brought the four great protector gods to arrest you. β
"Lord Dragon. The Earth Emperor was stunned.
"You go and hide, and then you dodge. β
"He's come well, I can just reason with him," the Earth Emperor was very angry, "Why should you cut me off from being in the water?"
"Don't reason with him, you're already afraid that it will be difficult to resolve your grievances," Crane Immortal Weng was so anxious that he paused, "Let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late." β
"Where do you want to run......
There was a sudden loud bang in mid-air, and the Dragon Lord and the four great protector gods were already in front of him.
"Hahaha," the Dragon Lord laughed wildly, "I can't guess how the Emperor of the Earth can break through the magic of connecting heaven and earth, it turns out that the Jade Emperor Lao'er has a traitor who eats inside and out......"
Crane Immortal Weng was furious: "Dragon head, you stop spewing blood, touch your conscience and ask if you are worthy of the Jade Emperor and the people of the world." β
The Earth Emperor did not show weakness and asked: "Dragon King, we have no grievances with you in the world, why are you ruthless to put us to death." β
"You're coming to ask me, joke!" The Dragon King said fiercely with a hideous face, "You people in the world killed my prince, causing me to lose my son and wife, and now I am the only one left in a family-it is already cheaper for you to cut off your water, but you actually want to dig the water veins of the Water Tribe and the Heavenly Palace......"
"Longtou, the matter of 'Zhitian Mountain' has nothing to do with the emperor, come to me. β
"You think I won't dare to cure you," the Dragon Lord came prepared, took out a large shell and handed it to the four protector gods.
The four protector gods were ordered to jump off the clouds.
The Crane Immortal Weng understood what they were going to do, so he took off his coat and threw it over to cover up the stunned Furong, Xiao Qizi, and Master Yuankun. With a flick of his sleeve, the wind blew and fascinated the eyes of the Dragon King, but the big shell had already opened its mouth and swallowed the Earth Emperor who only shouted "Heaven will punish you" and the crane immortal who didn't have time to breathe......
When Furong, Master Yuankun, and Little Seven Sons came out from under the big stone where the Crane Immortal Weng's coat changed, it was already a dawn.
It happened so suddenly, only half an hour before and after, but Fleur felt like a century had passed...... It's too long...... It looks so long that it makes her heart break. However, no one can change the reality, and the bloody disaster did not last long, but it fell on the head of the emperor who had just solved a glimmer of life for the poor world and was ambitious to reorganize the world - the emperor who had just started to taste the sweetness of love......
It wasn't until the morning sun hung high that the three of them turned back to the foot of the mountain in despair, and more worrying things were in front of them.
The water cave is gone, and the Zhitian Mountain Water Cave that maintains the survival of the people of the world is goneβonly the Marquis of Xidu is stunned with a dragon-like waterwheel procession.
"Niangniang is here, Niangniang, Master Yuankun. The Marquis of Xidu had just come over from Xidu overnight, and he didn't know anything about the strange things in front of him, "This... What's going on?"
The three people who escaped death were not sad when they saw the Marquis of Xidu, and they opened their mouths and didn't say anything, and they burst into tears again.
Seeing that something was wrong, the Marquis of Xidu asked in his heart: "Where is the Earth Emperor?"
"The Emperor of the Earth...... He ......" Fleur burst into tears.
When the Marquis of Xidu understood what was going on, he suddenly had an intuition in his mind - the sky was about to fall! But he was a prince, and the sky would fall to the top corner, not to mention that he was loyal to his master - after a short period of confusion, he immediately did two things, the first was to repair the book and report it to Kyoto urgently, and there could be no ambiguity at all. The second thing is to evacuate and persuade the water convoys sent by the prefectures and counties to evacuate and return for the reason of preventing water leakage in the future, which must be ambiguous, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
After doing these things, he did not slack off on the three of Furong, and found a few empty water trucks to replace the sedan chair without staying for a moment and rushed back to the Western Capital day and night.
He didn't know what kind of fate Fleur, who had always been by the side of the Earth Emperor, would get. He also didn't understand how the Dragon King would come to capture the Earth Emperor. But one thing he is clear, he is an official, and it is his duty to obey the royal family absolutely, and he must not be disobeyed at any time, otherwise he will be a thief, and he will be scolded by thousands of people and sinners who will leave a stench for all generations - so along the way, he was neither cold, nor hot, nor humble, nor arrogant, but he was always by his side, because he was a politician and had to do so.
Wei Xiangye arrived three days after Furong arrived in the Western Capital, and this time he was cold when he saw everyone with the imperial mother Yi Zhi in his hand, and it was no wonder that the corpse of the old land emperor was not cold, and the new land emperor was gone again a few months after he ascended the throne - this veteran of the two dynasties was more sad than anyone else.
Wei Xiangye didn't even touch the bench in the Xidu Mansion, so he asked the Xidu Hou to find Furong. This time he didn't smile.
"Furong, the Earth Emperor was captured by the Dragon Lord when he was with you. Wei Xiangye asked.
"Yes, there are also Master Yuankun and Xiao Qizi, we went to the Xishan God to solve the matter of the water becoming muddy, but the Dragon Lord suddenly appeared and put the Earth Emperor and the Crane Immortal Weng together...... Suddenly nowhere to be seen. Furong had great respect for Wei Xiangye, and she held on to her voice not to cry, letting her tears flow, "We were hiding in the clothes left by the crane immortal Weng to steal our lives." β
"Furong, I heard that you grew up in Xiyuan Nunnery after losing your parents since you were a child, but you just didn't shave your hair?" Wei Xiangye's words turned around, and the divergence of thousands of miles made Furong extremely uncomfortable to hear.
"Yes. Fleur replied reluctantly.
"I heard that you once had a favor to the Earth Emperor and helped him kill the demon dragon. β
"That's not a demon dragon, that's the dragon prince. β
"Prince Long, who did you listen to?"
"The dragon lord said it himself, so cut off the water to take revenge on the world......"
"Nonsense!" Wei Xiangye stood up suddenly, his trembling fingers almost poked Furong's nose, "You don't make up lies to make trouble in the world again, what dragon prince, what dragon prince, the little water tribe has always been attached to the world for a living, since ancient times, the water tribe in the world has been like a family, even if the emperor killed a little demon dragon last time, how can an uneducated little wild dragon be the proud son of the dragon king, he dragon lord has no reason to be the enemy of the world, Furong, no one will believe your lies." β
"I tell a lie......" Furong didn't expect to be put on a "high" hat by the respected Wei Xiangye for no reason, and the angry Furong finally threw out a sentence, "Why are you so arbitrary?"
"Don't get angry at a young age," Wei Xiangye finally had a showdown, shaking the mottled muscles of his face and sighing, "The emergency document of the Marquis of Xidu almost took the life of the queen mother, originally the queen mother had to come in person this time, but I didn't make the trip because I tried my best to prevent it, but the queen mother issued a decree for me to bring, and I have a share of your hibiscus." β
As soon as he heard the decree, the Marquis of Xidu quietly reminded Furong to kneel down and listen to the decree. Wei Xiangye opened the edict and preached:
Xiyuan Nunnery vulgar girl Furong does not know the sky and the earth is thick and strong to climb the royal high branches, seducing the emperor to lose his mind and privately engage and dare to be brazen in the world to call herself a mother, regretting that the royal thousand-year-old ethical routine was once struck by you, offending the ancestors for the emperor of the earth to attract the disaster of killing, stifling the last ray of life in the world - Gu Nian you once saved the emperor's life, gave you a cup of poisonous wine, and the ancestor was sacrificed to the ancestors on the day of the day chosen by Master Yuankun to benefit the world, in order to ask for forgiveness.
Wei Xiangye handed over the decree to Furong and said, "This is also fate, you should be content." The queen mother didn't want you to die, but her old man wanted his son to be safe, and she wanted the world passed down by her ancestors to be revived, so don't blame her for being ruthless. β
Fleur has become a heinous sinner, so the emperor of the earth is her ke, and the disappearance of the water source is also her ke...... Xiduhou took the shackles and locked her, the clip was too small to make her breathless, but no one would care about her, because she was no longer a mother, she became the first sinner in the world.
A ray of sunlight streaming in through a crack in the wall added some light to the dark hut. Fleur sat on the weeds and looked at her distractedly, she couldn't help but think of the "Star Thatched House" - the trap set by the crane fairy Weng kindly, touching the scene, she seemed to see the emperor of the earth with his strong body hugging her into his arms, familiar movements...... Familiar lingering ......
"Geri's old man, give water to drink. β
The old man in the next cell screamed again, he had to shout several times a day, and he heard that the prison officer said that he was also an official, and he had a good reputation on weekdays, and he smashed it on the water this time, in fact, it was not a big deal, only some were evenly given to his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren, so that they could drink a few meals and enjoy themselves, but this matter was revealed, the Marquis of Xidu was a loyal royalist, and he was locked up here without saying a word.
The prison guard came in, and Fleur saw that there was a glass of water at her feet. She suddenly remembered that Master Yuan Kun said when he visited yesterday that he would sacrifice to her early tomorrow morning, this cup of water was probably for her to see her off, it was too generous, I don't know if it was the meaning of the Marquis of Xidu or Wei Xiangye's sudden kindness - she couldn't help but smile bitterly, she didn't want to drink, people who were dying still drank such extravagant things and would be degraded by the sky, and asked the prison servant to transfer this cup of water to the old man next door who loved his son and grandson.
"Helper Bodhisattva, great benefactor......" The old man probably drank the water, and his head slammed into the sky.
Master Yuankun was ordered by Wei Xiangye to meet Xiao Buregret after building the altar. With her came several nuns. Xiao Bu repented and asked Master Yuan Kun, you also knew the inside story of the matter when you saw the Dragon King Shi Zhiwei together, and it was also saved by the Crane Immortal Weng who sacrificed his life for righteousness, and the royal people turned their faces and did not recognize people, but why didn't you Yuan Kun insist on the truth and defend Furong for a sentence or two.
Master Yuankun felt guilty: "Alas, I know that Furong was wronged, and the successive disasters have nothing to do with Furong at all, if it weren't for Furong to subdue the buffalo essence, the world would probably be even worse." β
"Then you can't bear to send Fleur to the altar?"
"It's hard to sing alone!" Master Yuan Kun sighed and said, "You can't blame the royal family for causing such a situation, Wei Xiangye Xiduhou also interrogated me and Xiao Qizi, but unfortunately the confessions are inconsistent, and I also obeyed the royal will for Mingzhe's life, why bother, how long can the world last." β
"Fleur is our sister, and we can't let her be wronged. β
"What do you want?" Master Yuankun's eyes changed.
"On the orders of Mrs. Shi, I rescued Furong, and asked the mage to help with kindness. β
"Prison robbery!" Master Yuan Kun looked at the nuns in front of him blankly and shivered, he is also a loyal royalist, and he has no second heart for the royal family, and he can't even think of this kind of violation of the law - but he is indeed very sympathetic to Furong, since she was put in prison, he has visited many times, and he has dared to ask for bail in front of Wei Xiangye Xidu Hou several times, so he also asked them for unwarranted blame - or Xiao Qizi is fickle and quick-witted, and when he sees the limelight, he turns his ass and follows Wei Xiangye left and right, and he calls out the "Niangniang" who was called out by him in the past Even if you don't hit a single face, you can save a lot of worries......
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Buregret put the knife on Master Yuankun's head, and said viciously and viciously by relying on the secluded terrain: "Stinky old man, my sisters have put their lives on the line, and if you can't save Senior Sister Furong, they will all die together, if you are afraid of death, you can do it, but you have to take us to the cell, otherwise you will ......"
Master Yuankun didn't know whether he was frightened or deeply moved by their sisterhood, and unexpectedly agreed to their request.
With Master Yuankun leading the way, there was no need to bother to enter Furong's cell with a high-sounding sound.
Fleur was of course surprised, but she didn't expect that the sisters were ordered by Shitai to save themselves. The psychology of dying is calm, because she has figured out everything, at first she was unwilling to bother everyone for her worthless life, but she couldn't stand the sisters who pressed her with her master's life, and shocked her with the determination to die together - pushed her already calm heart into waves, and at the same time aroused the "desire" hidden in her heart.
Master Yuankun easily tricked Furong out of the prison with the special power of asking questions, but the bad one bumped into the Xidu Hou when he came out of the prison gate.
Naturally, the Marquis of Xidu would not let them go, and quickly mobilized soldiers to encircle and suppress them as bandits - the disparity in strength and the clear goal made Furong and the others soon forced to a dead end, unable to retreat, and looking to be cut into pulp.
Master Yuankun and Fleur were now two grasshoppers on the same rope, and if he was caught, he would die a more embarrassing death than Fleur - because he had become a traitor to the royal family.
Furong felt very guilty, pulling so many burial companions, they would not only die, but also have to carry the black cauldron that could not be washed: "Master Yuankun, it may be better for you to tie me up and send me out." β
"Where is Niangniang, it's a big deal to die, and to die comfortably is worthy of the emperor," Master Yuankun was very firm, "I was actually wrong, if I didn't regret the master's reminder, I am afraid that I will commit a heinous crime, and I will never be at ease, Niangniang, I will live and die with you." β
"You...... You're so stupid......"
Before Furong's words fell, the Marquis of Xidu had rushed into the alley with a group of soldiers and came to the front, and the sisters of Xiao Buregret rushed to the front in anger and were ready to fight to the death.
At the last moment, the fate of Hibiscus should not be extinguished, a miracle appeared, only to hear a "coax" sound, the smoke and ash quickly diffused, the wall at the head of the alley collapsed, and the dead end became a living alley. Fleur was overjoyed, and the fish jumped out and blinked to the suburbs.
After running for dozens of miles in one breath, he dared to stop after completely throwing off the pursuers, and Furong counted the number of people and only left Master Yuankun who had been pulling and Xiao Buregret, who had opened the way for himself, and several other brothers and sisters were nowhere to be found, afraid that they had been killed or captured.
Xiao Buregret cried: "How can I explain to my teacher, so many senior sisters are gone......"
Fleur was even more heartbroken, hugging her head and crying with little regrets. It's hard to explain that it's her Furong! It's she who has hurt so many sisters, and she has no shame to see her teacher.
The night was getting thicker and thicker, and I couldn't see my fingers. Three homeless people, with different identities and different destinies, are cornered by power.
"Let's go, leave me alone. Fleur was distraught by the predicament in front of her.
"No, Mrs. Shi is waiting for us. β
"You tell Mrs. Shi that I can't live with her, and I will repay her great kindness in the next life. β
"Senior sister, where do you want to go, if you want to die, it's better to die early, why do you want to get so many sisters. β
"No regrets are right, since you have come out, you have to live," Master Yuankun is mature after all, "but I'm afraid it won't be possible to return to the nunnery." β
"Why can't you go back?"
"Xiyuan'an is afraid that it will be turned upside down, so what if you go back and arrest it now?"
"It's still a ...... of the teacher"
"Niangniang, don't worry, they won't do anything to Mrs. Shi, at this time, Mrs. Shi just wants you to be safe, if you go back and get arrested, it will make Mrs. Shi too sad. β
Xiao Buregret is anxious: "Where can I go if I don't go back, I can survive for a few days without food or drink." β
That's a big problem!
The three of them were silent, but they were all thinking about how they would spend tomorrow...... There was a faint sound of "peeling", and suddenly there was a glow in all directions - as if in a hallucination......
"Demon ......" Master Yuan Kun knew that he had encountered something dirty as soon as he saw the fluorescence, but the amount of fluorescence and the rapid change of colors still made him shudder, because he couldn't deal with it with his shallow Taoism...... Master Yuan Kun took out the peach wood sword he was carrying: "Don't be afraid, I am here, there is Master Zu's peach wood sword...... They don't dare to go up......"
The strange thing is that the little fluorescent lights flying everywhere don't seem to see the existence of the three people in the world, and they are still entwined and playing......
This rather tragic landscape caught Fleur's gaze...... In the Dark...... The fluorescent glow in the sky is connected into a series of fluorescent lines...... Then the horizontal and vertical hooks are folded and connected into a human figure...... The figure turned aroundβoh my God, isn't it the Earth Emperorβand Fleur screamed and threw herself over to hold the Earth Emperor back......
Master Yuankun and Xiao Bu were stunned, and they dragged it out, thinking that she had fallen into an evil spiritβFurong was anxious and angry and struggled to call the Earth Emperor, but the Earth Emperor closed his eyes and closed his mouth as if he hadn't heard itβthe Earth Emperor who was fluorescent with a "whew" sound scattered into bits and pieces of fluorescent fire, flickering and shimmering around......
"The world's mother-to-be is well......"
The voice came from nowhere, but it was certain that the speaker was very close. The three of Furong huddled together and searched with their eyes wide open, but all they could see was fluorescence or fluorescence - Master Yuankun knew the law, and he was afraid of being dementored by the voice of evil and waved his peachwood sword: "The mother of the world is here, who dares to be presumptuous." β
"The mage is angry, the mother forgives the sins," the voice rose again, "We are the eight hundred and thirty-three water types of the water tribe stationed in the lakes of the world, and the dragon lord has no way to imprison the water dragon official to recall nine hundred and ninety-three water dragons and cut off the water in the world." This was originally the birthplace of the Yangtze River's 833 water species, and although we were dead, we had nowhere to go, so we had to hover here all day long and wait for the heavens to bring blessings. β
"It turned out to be a dead fish and a dead shrimp...... "Xiao Buregret stuck out his tongue.
Fleur's heart was a lot more relieved, at least she knew that they were not malicious, but she didn't understand if the hallucination of the Earth Emperor just now was caused by them, and what the reason was.
The water ghost seemed to lie in her thoughts, and said directly: "Turning into the shadow of the Earth Emperor is to verify whether you are really a mother. β
"Then do you know where the Earth Emperor is?"
"Of course we know the whereabouts of the Earth Emperor, but unfortunately your mana can't save him," the water ghost sighed, "You don't have to worry if he's safe and sound." β
"That'...... Can you save himβyou can ...... on any terms."
"It can't be saved. β
"Where is he? We'll find a way to save him. β
"You can't save it. β
The water spirits are still so cold. But Furong still found hope, as long as the emperor of the earth does not die, everything can be done, any grievance, trumped-up charges, can be avenged Zhaoxue - the excited Furong is willing to let go of this clue, which is similar to pleading: "Please give me some guidance, as long as you can save the emperor of the earth, you will never give up." β
"To save the emperor, you must first save the world. β
One sentence confused Furong again, can you save the world? Three ordinary people, they can't even think of saving the world......
"You don't want to save the world?"
"Save the world, it's up to us - I'm afraid it's impossible. β
"You can save the world and the emperor of the earth. The key lies in yourselves, to have a loving mind, a sincere heart, strong perseverance, an undying pursuit, and selfless dedication, can you do it?"
...... But the water ghosts will never deceive them, this can be believed - Fleur seems to have become great all of a sudden, she is a nunnery and a layman, and she is considered by the royal family to be the lowly daughter of the emperor of the world, and she is actually connected with the fate of a huge world, and the almost extinct human race is to be shouldered by her to recover - although this is a bit incredible, but the unstoppable pride then washes away the melancholy and pessimistic emotions that have accumulated in the bottom of her heart for days - invisibly and involuntarily "save the world" This is a great cause for one's own sake......
The water ghost was very happy, and said excitedly: "Niangniang, although the dragon lord is controlled by the Jade Emperor, he regards himself as a high merit and does not take the Jade Emperor in his eyes. β
"The old dragon king is so powerful, quickly invite him out. Xiao Buregret listened to it so much that he couldn't help but interject.
"The old dragon king's 'loyalty' word first, honest and kind, but unfortunately has been living in seclusion in the world Longchi Mountain for many years, retreating and cultivating, and the sky falls and doesn't care about foreign affairs, but the dragon king is his son, and he has committed a heinous crime, if he can influence the old dragon king with great sincerity and hand us the blood book of eight hundred and thirty-three types of water complaints, he will never ignore it. The water ghost threw a small red envelope, landed in front of Furong, and said, "The little red envelope contains a walking route map to Longchi Mountain and a blood letter of complaint we presented to the old dragon king. β
Fleur held the little red envelope and wondered again, can sending a blood book really save the world? Who wouldn't do it so simply.
The water ghost sneered: "Don't underestimate this errand, the hardships and dangers along the way are waiting for you, and the world is afraid that you will not be able to find a second suitable candidate except for Niangniang, because you have to save the emperor in addition to saving the world." β
"Can you save the Earth Emperor first, so that the power to find the old Dragon King will be greater?"
"Don't rush it," the fluorescence dimmed, "and when the rain returns, the husband and wife will meet and reunite......"
