It is already early summer, the lewd air began to flood, the weather in Yong'an City in recent days is not very good, every day the lewd rain is falling, the evil wind does not stop, the lewd rain is drenched in the rotten wood in the city, and the evil wind blows all the willows on the trees. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Xian was sitting in a pavilion in the imperial garden, listening to the rhyme of the piano and playing the piano, playing against chess, watching the fragrance of books and reading books, and looking at the meaning of painting, when a heavenly soldier guarding the garden gate suddenly walked in wet, knelt on one knee outside the pavilion and said: "Emperor, the head of internal affairs asks to see." β
The Jade Emperor sent ten immortal officials to help him deal with the sundries, and Chen Xian assigned the tasks of these ten people one by one in line with the principle of not using them in vain, and after some time of investigation. He promoted two of them, who were clever and knowledgeable about current affairs, to the chief of internal affairs and the general of external affairs, the chief of internal affairs was responsible for managing internal affairs, such as the vigilance, hygiene, food, distribution of guards, palace maids, etc., and the general manager of external affairs was responsible for purchasing all the necessities of the palace. As for three of them who were very ignorant of current affairs, Chen Xian also arranged good positions for them: the positions of the director of the Imperial Horse Division, Bi Ma Wen, the director of the sewer cleaning department, and the director of the public toilet department, who only had six heavenly horses, were assigned to them, and warned them that these places were very important and must be kept clean and tidy, and asked them to come to the scene every day to guide the work.
Chen Xian thought that the housekeeper would not bother him if he had nothing to do, since he asked to see him, there must be something, so he said, "Let him in!"
"No!" the Heavenly Soldier stood up and bowed out of the Imperial Garden.
"See the emperor!" A moment after the heavenly soldiers left, a middle-aged man in a civil official robe entered the garden and saluted Chen Xian, who was the chief of internal affairs appointed by Chen Xian.
"No courtesy!" Chen Xian said.
"Emperor Xie!" the head of internal affairs stood up as he said.
"Aiqing asks to see the widow, I don't know what's going on?" Chen Xian straightened his body and asked with imperial majesty.
"The guards of the gate of Shicai Palace came to report, and the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave sent someone to send an invitation. The housekeeper bowed, took out a gilt invitation from his sleeve, and raised his hands above his head.
"Scholar, submit the invitation!" Chen Xian said.
Shuxiang put down the book in his hand, walked out of the gazebo, took the invitation card from the housekeeper, and bowed down to hand it to Chen Xian.
"Seventh Brother is three hundred and one years old, this time flies so fast. After glancing at the invitation, Chen Xian sighed for a while, he only felt that the last time he celebrated the 300th birthday of the monkey was yesterday, and he didn't think it had been a year.
"You stand down!" After sighing, Chen Xian put away the invitation and said to the head of the house.
"We're leaving!" the chief of internal affairs bowed and took three steps back before turning to leave.
Sun Wukong's 301st birthday is the day after tomorrow, Chen Xian has time to prepare, he temporarily put down the matter, continued to play with chess, and said to the four women: "Playing the piano, playing, reading, and painting all need to be focused, calm, and avoid impetuousness and crankiness." β
"Buzz ......"
Qin Yun pressed down with ten fingers, pressed the strings, stopped the sound of the piano when the hairpin was blowing, and got up with the other three girls to thank him: "Xie Dijun's teachings!"
"Let's replay the game!" After Chen Xian finished teaching the four girls, he pushed the chessboard and said to the chess, but he was going to lose, so he decided to cheat, but he used the four people's uncertainties as an excuse, which was shameless enough.
"Qin Yun, the ambergris has burned out, replace it again!" Chen Xian commanded again.
"Yes!" Qin Yun responded, and replaced it with ambergris.
"The golden pill of the ten wood spirits has been consolidated, but there is no need to take care of it every day. In the days to come, you can be immoral again. Before resuming the game, Chen Xian thought to himself.
"Report! Emperor, there are two banshees outside the palace gate asking to see you!" Today is destined to be a day that will not be peaceful, Chen Xian and Qiyu reopened, and before they got out of the twenty hands, the heavenly soldiers guarding the garden gate came to report again.
"Two banshees?" Chen Xian was curious and asked, "What are their names?"
The two daughters claimed to be Lady Diyong and Lady White Bone. "Heavenly Soldier Dao.
"Please!" Chen Xian said.
"No!" the Heavenly Soldier commanded.
"These two banshees actually came together, could it be that the best friend in the mouth of the white bone spirit is the white rat spirit?" After the heavenly soldier left, Chen Xian touched his chin and thought.
"Chess, prepare tea!" Chen Xian said.
"Yes!" Qi Yu put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, got up and went to make tea.
"The emperor is really leisurely, leisurely and elegant, which is the envy of the slave family!" Under the leadership of the palace maid, Lady Diyong and Lady White Bone went straight into the imperial garden, and as soon as they entered, the White Bone Spirit stepped forward and smiled.
"Two ladies, please have tea!" Chen Xian smiled, led the two demon girls to sit down, and pointed to the two cups of tea that were filled with chess.
"The slave family will introduce to the emperor, this is the slave family's best friend Di Yong, and she will go to the East China Sea with us this time. After Bai Gujing sat down, he immediately introduced to Chen Xian.
"Emperor, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my demeanor is better than in the past, gratifying!" The white rat spirit's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he looked directly at Chen Xiandao.
"Originally, I was still looking forward to the treasure hunt trip to the East China Sea, but now there are two demon girls with ill intentions, such as the white rat spirit and the white bone spirit, and there is no passion at all, just guarding against them will consume all the mental energy!" Seeing the ghost light in the eyes of the white bone spirit, Chen Xian sighed in his heart.
"If the emperor is fine, let's go!" After drinking tea and saying a few homely words, Lady White Bone spoke.
Chen Xian thought to himself that the birthday of the seventh brother was the day after tomorrow, and it took one day to go to the depths of the East China Sea to hurry, half a day to take the treasure, and half a day to go to Huaguo Mountain, just in time for the seventh brother's birthday banquet. Thinking so, he said expressionlessly: "I'll come in and have nothing to do, I can leave at any time!"
"The slave family and the land will rush out of the city and wait, and the emperor will explain the future!" said the White Bone Lady.
Explaining what happened, why did this sound so harsh? Listening to Bai Gujing's words, Chen Xian muttered in his heart.
"The two ladies sit quietly, and there is nothing to explain about the future, just say a word and leave. Chen Xian waved his hand and motioned for the two demon girls to sit down.
"If a guest comes to visit, they will say that I am traveling with Taoist friends in the East China Sea and will return in a few days. After Chen Xian said to the four daughters of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, he turned his head to Mrs. Baigu and Mrs. Diyong and said, "Two ladies, let's go!"
............................................................
After a day's flight, Chen Xian and the white bone spirit and the white rat spirit flew over the West Niu Hezhou, crossed the West Sea, the South Ganbu Continent, the East China Sea, and the Dongsheng Shenzhou, and reached the depths of the East China Sea.
"Here we are, let's go down!" said Lady Bones.
"Such a desolate island, are you sure you are not taking the wrong path?" Looking at the desert island under his feet, Chen Xian asked very uncertainly.
"Don't worry, the slave family won't make such a low-level mistake!" Lady Bones said with a smile.
"Then let's go down!" said Lady Diyong, eager to try the tunnel.
"Let's go!" Lady Bones greeted, and flew towards the middle of the cave.
Following behind the white bone spirit, Chen Xian landed on a huge oval boulder in the middle of the island.
"That's the cave where I found the milk of the earth. The Bone Spirit pointed to a dark cave hidden by dill.
This was the first image Chen Xian saw of that cave, but the treasures were obscure, and the spiritual objects were hidden, and he didn't mind.
Unleashed his divine sense to investigate, and found that the cave was tortuous, diagonally downward, and there were many forks in the road, and after his divine sense turned around a few times and found nothing, Chen Xian had to withdraw his divine sense, and he was not doing useless work.
"Damn, there are so many forks in the road, I really don't know how the white bone spirit found the milk of ten thousand years, should he be shaken?" Chen Xian muttered.
"Let's go!" the white bone spirit jumped down, split the dill, and went straight into the cave.
"Emperor, this cave is so dark, the slave family is so afraid!" After walking in the cave for a while, Mrs. Diyong suddenly rushed up and hugged Chen Xian's hand tightly.
"Is there any mistake, rats are still afraid of the dark, and immortals can treat night as day, not to mention the dignified golden immortal, this white rat spirit still has bad intentions for himself!" Chen Xian complained in his heart, pulled out his hand vigorously, took out a night pearl, illuminated the front and back and said: "It's not dark now!"
"I don't understand the amorous feelings!" the white rat spirit cursed in his heart, rushed forward again, hugged Chen Xian's arm, and said coquettishly: "This cave is gloomy, the slave family is afraid!"
Chen Xianjiao's body trembled, and his heart came again, and this time he also used the color of the Heavenly Maiden, which was really terrible!
"We're here to hunt for treasures, listen to what Mrs. White Bone said, the earthworms that guard the treasures are not ordinary, Madame should be serious. "I have already been baptized by the celestial maiden once, and my cultivation is one step closer, and I will no longer be affected by the white rat spirit, I said very indifferently.
Without waiting for Mrs. Diyong to speak, he continued: "And this place is dark and gloomy, not an occasion to talk about love, if Mrs. has a heart, it is better to choose a good place another day, let's spend the moon before the moon, talk about the romance, wouldn't it be better?"
After Chen Xian finished speaking, Mrs. Diyong spoke again, touched her thigh, and took advantage of the stiffness of her body to get out.
"This Mrs. Diyong is still a place!" touched Mrs. Diyong's thigh, and after finding that her reaction was strong, Chen Xian couldn't help but secretly say in his heart.
Following the White Bone Lady through the tortuous passages, taking a lot of forks in the road, Chen Xian felt that there should be a hundred miles away from the ground, and he had gone deep into the ground. The temperature around is getting higher and higher, and the water flowing from the stone walls is steaming.
"I really don't know how Mrs. Diyong found the Ten Thousand Years Earth Milk in such an intricate cave in the first place, could it be the special sense of the necromancer to objects with strong vitality?" Chen Xian became more and more surprised, just because this place was hundreds of miles deep underground, and even his Golden Immortal Divine Sense couldn't detect it, he really couldn't figure it out, the white bone essence of the True Fairy Realm was the one who discovered the Ten Thousand Years Earth Milk below in the future.
After walking for seventy or eighty miles in the tortuous cave, and after about forty miles into the ground, the hard stone wall already showed signs of melting.
"It's close to the magma layer!" Smelling the strong sulfur smell in the air and feeling the temperature that can quickly turn people into dry corpses, Chen Xian knew that his group of three was close to the underground magma.
As Chen Xian expected, he turned left once and right twice with the white bone spirit in the cave, and after taking a hundred steps forward at the left side of the cave at a three-fork intersection, his eyes were full of dark red light.
Chen Xian stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down at the boiling magma hundreds of zhang below, and found that the exposed magma here was about ten miles away, barely a lake.
The white bone spirit stood at the entrance of the cave, and Qianqianyu's hand pointed to a long and narrow stone in the direction of the magma with an area of no more than three hundred square meters, resembling a curved bow, and said: "Look at that crescent-shaped boulder, the milk of the earth is in the stone trough in the middle of that rock!"
There was no need for Mrs. White Bone to remind him, as soon as Chen Xian came here, he sensed the strong anger coming from the rock, and his eyes had already looked at the golden liquid in the center of the island.
The milk of less than 100 years is clear in color, grows with the years, gradually whites and thickens, to a hundred years, such as rice milk, to a thousand years, heavy as stone slurry, and then yellow, 10,000 years, golden as dragon's blood, heavy as lead and mercury.
The color of the loess itself is yellow, and the essence of the earth is condensed into the milk, to the extreme, it is the color of gold.
"I don't know how many years it will take for the earth to give birth to so much essence? The vitality contained in each drop of earth milk is richer than my blood......" Seeing so many thousands of years of earth milk, Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Where are the earthworm demon beasts you are talking about?" After sighing for a while, Chen Xian remembered what was going on and hurriedly asked.
"Earthworms live underground, although the earthworms that guard the milk of the earth for thousands of years are powerful, but they have not cultivated the human way, they still can't change their animal nature, they are naturally dormant in the rocks, as soon as we go to the island, the earthworms will jump out. The White Bone Spirit explained.
"Hmm!" Chen Xian replied softly, indicating that he understood.
"It's not humane, it's not easy to deal with demon beasts that act on animal instinct alone, so we'll have to be careful later. Mrs. Diyong said, and when she said this, there was a look of horror on her face, as if she remembered some terrible past.
The uncivilized youkai, although not very intelligent and unable to speak, is extremely powerful. Think about the way to learn the scriptures, the monkey and a few basilisk encountered in Huoluozhuang, its two snake letters, against the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie two fought all night, if not afraid of light, the monkey and the wild boar will not be so easy to clean it up, and even if afraid of light, the basilisk out of the hole, but also knocked the wild boar to the ground, you know how powerful these demon beasts that have not returned to humanity and act on instinct are.
"That earthworm doesn't know how many years it has lived here, God knows how many thousands of years of earth milk it has taken, although it doesn't know how to cultivate, and it can't consume a drop in ten days and a half months, but it is as old as the years go by, and its vitality is comparable to that of a divine beast, and it is roasted by the earth fire all year round, and its body is like King Kong, it is extremely difficult to deal with, you two should pay attention to it later!" Lady White Bone reminded.
"Qiangβ"
Chen Xian pulled out the Star Scar Sword and said, "I'll try the strength of that earthworm first, if it's invincible, let's go where we come from!"
After speaking, he waited for the rock wall with his feet and flew towards the boulder where the earth milk was.
