Chapter 14: Farewell
My spiritual platform is not clear, I feel like I want to wake up hard, but something has been suppressing me, I was lost in the chaos for a long time, and finally opened my eyes, only to find that I was in the small courtyard that the Queen Mother of Kunlunxi had set up for me.
The little kingfisher next to me saw that I was awake, and hurriedly helped me sit up, I leaned on the couch, and felt that my head was heavy, shouldn't I be in the Nine Heavens? The little kingfisher was about to pour me a cup of tea for me to drink more comfortably, but I took her hand: "How did I come back to Kunlun." β
She sat on the edge of my bed, looked at me worriedly, and said, "Sister Xuannu sent you back, you are so badly injured that you can't even maintain your human form." β
I remember that the firebird suddenly became a fierce beast, and I fought with it but almost died, but it was Rong He who saved me, and I asked the little kingfisher: "But the queen mother saved me?"
Little Kingfisher said: "Come to think of it, after you come back, Sister Xuannu will take you to the palace of the Queen Mother." β
I was injured by the strange fire of the fierce beast, I think it must be that the Nine Heavens can't find a cure, so I can only send it back to my Kunlun, I put my mind at ease for the time being, this time I woke up and had to go to the Queen Mother to ask for guilt, I had to agree to follow the Xuannu out of Kunlun, and she also caused trouble to save her, and I really felt sorry in my heart.
I was able to get off the ground, and the little kingfisher asked me to rest for a few more days, and I said it was all right.
My courtyard was the same as before, the waterhole shone slightly dazzling by the noonday sun, I went out of the courtyard gate, walked quickly to the palace of the Queen Mother, I just stepped into the main hall door of the Queen Mother, I saw the Xuannu, she was very happy to see that I was awake, she walked quickly towards me, and asked, "Are you all well?
The last time she said goodbye to me in the Nine Heavens, I clearly promised her that she would be fine, and asked her to concentrate on her career, but something still happened, I was a little embarrassed, I thought she would reprimand me, but I didn't want to worry about me when I opened my mouth, I was a little moved: "I heard that you sent me back, how do you know that something happened to me." β
Xuannu nodded my head and said, "I was running between the Demon Realm and Dongting Lake at that time, and I was restless for a while, I couldn't rest assured of you, so I went to the Heavenly Palace to see you, only to know that you really had an accident." β
When I finally became conscious, it was obviously Rong He next to me, but now I don't know what happened to him, Xuannu looked at my desire to speak and guessed that I wanted to ask about Rong He's situation now, so she blurted out: "When I arrived at the Heavenly Palace, I knew that the Emperor of Heaven had summoned Si Yao Shenjun and Lao Jun in Chonghua Palace, and your immortal body was burned by a foreign fire, and your spiritual power has been disrupting, but the immortal medicine pills taken out by Si Yao Shenjun and Lao Jun can't cure you, and when I go to Chonghua Palace, the Emperor of Heaven looks like he's going crazy." β
I only remember that my whole body was in pain at that time, but I didn't want the situation to be so dangerous, it was because I released the firebird out of the cage, which caused a big disaster, I lowered my head and couldn't speak, Xuannu patted me on the shoulder, and said: "Don't blame yourself too much, after all, except for the Emperor of Heaven destroying a courtyard, there is nothing else to lose." β
When the fierce beast fought with me, he did spit out a fire and burned most of the courtyard of the Chonghua Palace, and the branches and leaves and flowers of the old plum tree were scorched, and I suddenly remembered my altar of green plum wine buried under the tree, and I was ready to drink it with Rong He in the coming year, and then my mood was even lower.
Xuannu felt that her words were more humorous and could divert my guilt, but now that she saw that I was even more depressed, she had no choice but to pull me and ask, "Are you here to see the Queen Mother?"
I almost forgot that I had come to ask the Queen Mother for my sins this time, and now that the sun was in full bloom, but the door of the Queen Mother's palace was closed, I nodded: "When I woke up, the little kingfisher told me that it was the Queen Mother who rescued me, and I wanted to come to greet her." β
Xuannu looked at the closed door of the palace of the queen mother, pulled me to sit down in the courtyard, there is a lotus pond in the palace of the queen mother, at this moment the flowers are lost, only the green lotus leaves float on the surface of the water, and the aura surrounds the whole pool, although there is no red, but the vitality continues, and the coming year can be expected.
After I sat down, the Xuannu also sat down with me and touched my head, why do everyone like to touch my head so much recently! I heard her voice with distress: "You have suffered such a calamity, if I go back to the Heavenly Palace one step late, if your aura is exhausted, I really don't know how to explain to Master and the Peach Tree Immortal, but you never worry about yourself, you only care about others, I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to take you to the Nine Heavens." β
Since I moved to Yaochi, although I don't see the Queen Mother often, I always feel that the Queen Mother is everywhere, but now she is in retreat alone in the temple in order to save me, and I asked, "Is the Queen Mother in retreat at this moment because she is trying to save me?"
Xuannu said: "The queen mother is under the Sanqing Tiantai Qing Mirror, the magic power is incomparable, you don't have to go to the level of retreat to save you little stupid bird, you also know that the queen mother used to meditate and practice in the palace, sometimes sitting for months, you quickly put away your crying expression, ugly to death." β
We sat in the courtyard for a while, and the Xuannu told me that she was leaving Kunlun Realm tomorrow, and she told me to recuperate in Kunlun during this time, and if she came back, she would take me to the Heavenly Palace. Yes, Xuannu was helping Rong He track down the rebellion between the Dongting Water Monarch and the brothers, and the firebird happened to be Zhiyu to offer to Rong He, the firebird is not a simple firebird, but an ancient fierce beast.
Although I have shallow knowledge, I also know that the earliest group of gods in the world opened the world, the birthday month, the creation of the four seasons, the wind and rain and dew in the world are all transformed by them, and the gods and spirits at the same time There are many spirit beasts, spirit beasts give birth to spiritual wisdom, some have cultivated into gods, some do not want to be bound by the way of heaven, have committed evil, the way of heaven is not tolerated, become a fierce beast, and the time will destroy the world, the nine babies are one of them, the gods of the creation of the world are returned to Hongmeng, and the fierce beasts in this world are suppressed one by one, no one knows the seal of the fierce beasts, is to the current immortals, they are just a text on the ancient books, no one has ever seen itγ
But this fierce beast really appeared in the Nine Heavens, Rong He temporarily suppressed it, I don't know how long the seal can last, the target of the person who sacrificed the fierce beast and Rong He will definitely not be me, then it can only be Rong He.
But the firebird was still weak and pitiful when he was in the cage, and as soon as he got out of the cage, he turned into a fierce beast, thinking that the cultivation of the people behind the scenes was very strong, and he used extremely advanced spells to seal the cage, and their target was the Heavenly Palace, which was Rong He.
I just woke up, the queen mother is still in retreat, but the Xuannu is in a hurry to leave, I think Rong He's situation must have reached a very difficult place, last time I heard them in the Lingxiao Hall to discuss whether to send troops, and the other party was able to find and untie the seal of a fierce beast, I don't know what hole cards they still hold, I was uneasy, Xuannu saw that my face was not good, and said to me: "You guard Kunlun well, wait for the queen mother to come out." β
I don't think Xuannu will take me out of Kunlun at this moment, but I look at her at the moment as if she is saying goodbye to me, saying that in the hundreds of years we have been together, although she is older than me and has cultivated higher than me, she often suppresses me verbally, scolds me for being stupid, and says that I have no knowledge. She pretended to say goodbye to me as usual, and I felt sad, but I didn't want her to see it.
Probably because I had too few words today, she was running out of words when she finished speaking, so she rushed me to the peach forest: "Go and see the peach tree immortal, he must have missed you after a few months." β
I listened to the words of the Xuannu, stood up, walked to the door of the temple, stepped out, and said that it was not a long distance, and I turned my head to look at the Xuannu, and she was still sitting there looking at me, just as I had just gotten up.
I had a sore nose and turned around and ran away.
Kunlun is deserted, unlike so many immortals living in the Nine Heavens, I turned into the original form and flew towards the peach forest, after entering the peach forest, I flew around the entire forest, I used to take the birds and finches here to patrol the territory every day, the peach forest is still the same as before I left, the old man of the peach tree is still lazily leaning on his immortal body basking in the sun, I flew over and landed on his branches, and called twice.
He opened his eyes lazily, and was surprised to see me, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is there no tail hair in your little blue bird?" β
Haven't I fully recovered, but although the burned immortal body was repaired, but the feathers had not yet grown, I pecked his branch lightly, expressed my displeasure, and then turned into a human form, and saluted him as before.
He looked at me and said, "Hey, didn't you just go to the Nine Heavens with Xuannu once, how can you even pluck your feathers? You were so naughty when you were young, you broke my branches every day to build a nest, and also built a nest for those little birds and birds, I was reluctant to pluck your feathers." β
My dull mood suddenly improved, I looked at him and said, "Actually, I quietly broke your branch before I left, don't you know?"
Originally, he was very happy to see me, but the joy of the reunion was less than a quarter of an hour, and he wanted to chase me as before, and I said: "I thought that you couldn't go out of Kunlun, so I planted your branch in the Nine Heavens, and that branch really sprouted and sprouted new branches, be happy!"
I watched him lift his cane made of mahogany and put it down again, and I felt a little uneasy. He touched his beard and said with deep comfort: "The old man is very pleased that the peach has grown up." β
