The two of them looked at the ginseng fruit tree, and each sighed: "It is worthy of being the spiritual root of heaven and earth! In the past, Hongmeng had incarnated this ginseng fruit tree when it first bloomed, but that was a long time ago. Seeing that there were a few fewer fruits on the tree, the quasi-Tidao man smiled at Yin Wugeng and said, "Xiaoyou has already tasted it!"

Yin Wugeng arched his hand towards the two saints and said: "The junior Yin Wugeng has seen the two sect leaders and saints, there is a way that is first-come, first-served, I will find this spiritual root first, so naturally we should taste it first." If the Western Sect had found this place first, I'm afraid that a temple would have been erected here, and 'idlers are not allowed to enter', right?"

The second saint smiled when he heard this, noncommittal. At this moment, the eastern sky reflected the red clouds and auspicious clouds, only to see the golden flowers falling, the rui qi is vertical and horizontal, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun drove the Nine Dragons Agarwood to flutter and come; Lei Zhenzi and Archmage Xuandu each stood on the side of the sect leader to serve.

Yang Jian, who was guarding here, also stepped forward to welcome the arrival of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lao Tzu. This Lao Tzu crane has a childish face, wearing a light yellow gossip clothes, tattooed with a Taiji diagram, holding a crutch and sitting on the green ox, with three zhang spiritual light on the top of his head; The four saints gathered, and the auspicious light of this Wanshou Mountain suddenly rushed straight to the thirty-three heavens, illuminating half of the side, and the immortals admired the sage's ceremony.

When the four saints met, they actually had their own thoughts. The two saints of the West came first, and naturally said first: "I didn't expect this spiritual root to be born, and the four of us will meet again, it is really fate." ”

Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun also stepped forward and bowed slightly, and replied: "The two Taoist friends are waiting for me to take a step ahead, it seems that this spiritual root is also bound to be obtained." Yuan Shi Tianzun looked at the two saints of the West and said with a smile: "I don't know how my inferior disciples are practicing in Mount Meru?

There is a clear hidden needle in these words, blaming the two of them for taking advantage of the absence of Yuan Shi Tianzun to take care of and detain Sun, Cihang, Manjushri, and Fuxian. Seeing that Yuan Shi Tianzun was straight to the point, the quasi-Taoist was not polite, and said: "Those four Taoist friends have six pure roots, and they have a relationship with me in the West, and they are all people with roots. He will have positive results one day when he returns to my door, and it is also a blessing. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun sneered: "According to what you said, the other disciples under this sect are all six impure roots, and there are no root instruments?" We are all the masters of one sect, we know the heavens and the earth, and we know the karma, so we don't have to be angry because of the belonging of a few disciples, right? Since the four Taoist friends are willing to belong to me, the fate has arrived, and the original Taoist friends don't have to worry too much. ”

"Hmph. Yuan Shi Tianzun snorted and looked at Lao Tzu to see what Lao Tzu said. In the past, during the War of the Gods, the Sect of Interpretation, the Eight Views Palace, and the Western Sect joined together to deal with the Sect of Interception, but once the gods were over, the interests of the three parties were already clear, so they each had their own interests, and it was difficult to join forces again.

Lao Tzu thought: 'I am from the same sect as my junior and disciple, and I am taught by one teacher, so how can I not help him?' This Western Sect made it clear to the Emperor of Heaven that he wanted to go to the East to preach, and the Emperor of Heaven promised to let him enter the East after 800 years. It seems that there will inevitably be a battle between the Buddha and the Immortal Dao...... and then he said: "What the two Daoists said is biased, when they wanted to seal the war of the gods, the two Daoists had already taken away three thousand destined guests from my east, and now they are not satisfied, and they poached my junior disciples, which is really against the demeanor of the Great Sect. ”

The quasi-Daoist shook his head and said: "It's not that we are forced to buy and sell, it's that when the lives of the four Taoist friends are hanging by a thread, we will come to the rescue, and the four of them are grateful to Dade for joining my teaching, and the words of the Taoist friends are biased." ”

Seeing that the four saints were entangled with each other, Yin Wugeng and the group of sectarians were happy and comfortable, and only watched silently from the sidelines.

The Taoist felt that the momentum was wrong, and hurriedly persuaded: "Fellow Daoists, stop for a while." I'm here today for this ginseng tree, not to quarrel. As for the matter of detaining Sun and other disciples, it is a matter within the sect of my Western religion and expounding the religion, and I will discuss it in detail later. For now, it's better to determine the ownership of this spiritual root. Don't mess around and let the juniors see the jokes. ”

The three saints also felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, and they sorted out their thoughts. Lao Tzu has the highest rank and took the lead in proposing: "The spiritual root is in the world, whether it is for the fairy world or the Western Buddha world, it is a good thing, since the question of belonging is inconclusive, let's follow the old rules." There is no definite law, but there is a distinction between high and low, and this spiritual root is naturally obtained by those who are high in the Dao. ”

As soon as these words came out, the two sages of the West each whispered in a low voice and asked, "What does Brother Dao mean is that the four of you and I will step down and fight the law, judge the high and low, and the one who is high in the Tao will get the spiritual root?"

Lao Tzu stroked his beard, glanced at everyone present, and replied: "The people present are the Eight Views Palace of my Immortal Realm, the Jade Void Palace of Interpretation and the Biyou Palace of Interception Sect, as well as the two sect masters of Sumeru Mountain in the Buddha Realm, which are divided into four directions. One person from each of the four directions, and he will still be here a month later, and he will fight in twos and twos, and those who are high in the Tao will get this spiritual root, and others will not have any objections. How?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun thought: "Senior brother's move is also thoughtful, in this way, the Western Sect Master can only come out with one person, and he will go to half of his strength first." As for Yin Wugeng, I don't have to care about it at all, in this way, I and my senior brother will play against one of the Western Sects, and the odds of winning are still very big. He nodded in agreement.

The two saints of the Western Sect were naturally dissatisfied, and the Taoist said: "This arrangement is biased, your Immortal Sect occupies three seats, and I only have one seat in the Liberation Sect, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who wins and who loses." The quasi-Daoist suddenly pressed down on the Daoist and said, "It's okay. Brother Dao's proposal is impossible, but I also have a condition!"

Lao Jun asked, "What are the conditions?"

Zhun Ti said quietly: "Since the rules are set by you, then the opponent will be chosen by me, and the opponent of the poor road is Yin Wugeng of the Interception Sect." Zhun Ti said and looked at Yin Wugeng.

When Yin Wugeng heard his name, his face moved, and he secretly thought to himself in his heart: 'This Zhun Ti is a late strike, he picks me as an opponent, and he is confident that he will easily win me.' And that Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun have to fight, no matter who wins, there is only one opponent, Yuan Shi Tianzun or Lao Tzu, when he is down, he will speak with his ability......

Long Ji nervously tugged at Yin Wugeng's sleeve and asked, "Senior Brother Yin, the opponent is the three great saints, no matter how you compare, you will lose, if you are not careful, your life is in danger, it is better to abstain ......"

"No!" Yin Wugeng waved his hand and said to Zhun Ti: "Thank you for the favor of the sect leader!" Yin Wugeng was terrified and gladly accepted the order. ”

"Huh?" The other immortals were stunned, thinking that this Yin Wugeng was dying, and dared to get involved in the battle of this saint?

Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun glanced at each other, and neither of them had any objections. Lao Tzu immediately said: "Since everyone has no objections, it will be scheduled for a month later, and all Taoist friends can go to the appointment on time." Then he said to the people: "Go into the air, all of you." ”

Although everyone didn't know so they could only do it, Yin Wugeng accepted the Yellow Turban Lux, stepped on the nine lions with Long Ji, and intercepted the group of people standing in the air to see what Lao Tzu said. I saw Lao Tzu take out a cover from his sleeve, emitting a faint white light, and he put the cover down to cover the entire Wanshou Mountain. "For the sake of fairness, no one is allowed to approach this mountain during this month. I have covered the mountain with a glass cover, and the idle people don't want to touch it at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone had no objections, only Yin Wugeng secretly regretted in his heart, 'I knew that Fang Cai should have beaten three more fruits, but it's a pity that Kui Niu, Ma Sui and Lingxi haven't taste......d it yet'

Seeing this, the two sages of the West bid farewell to Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun, and returned to Mount Meru with the four great King Kongs. Yuan Shi Tianzun asked Lao Tzu to move to the Yuxu Palace and then discuss. Seeing this, Yin Wugeng also went back to Biyou Palace with the immortals of the sect.

When they returned to Biyou Palace, Yin Wugeng summoned everyone to the main hall to discuss countermeasures, and when Ma Sui and the others heard that the three major sect masters had made a move, they all thought that this matter was almost useless.

"In just one month, even if the sect leader and his old man come back to take charge of the sect, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat the three sect leaders. Ma then shook his head, saying no.

A few days ago, Lao Tzu incarnated as a true martial demon Tianzun to mention Yin Wugeng, Yin Wugeng was very aware of the gap between himself and the saint, he pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "At the moment, this situation is unsolvable, but I can't stand still." For the sake of today, I want to retreat and study the "Eight Nine Xuangong", hoping to break through to the realm of the seventh turn within a month, even if it can increase the odds of winning a little bit, I will give it a try. During this period, Brother Ma Sui is in charge of all matters in Biyou Palace, so don't bother me unless it's a major matter. During the retreat, I just had Longji by my side. ”

Although Long Ji knew in her heart that even if Yin Wugeng broke through the seventh turn, it would be impossible to compete with the saint, but this courage to never admit defeat still made her heart pound. And they all took their command.

After Yin Wugeng's retreat, for seven consecutive days, Lingxi felt that he had nothing to do, so he took Zizhuxian to go out to play together. Zizhuxian heard Lingxi say that she wanted to leave Penglai Island, and persuaded: "Miss Lingxi, senior brother is still in retreat, do you have to get his consent to leave Penglai Island?"

"Eh!" Lingxi said dissatisfiedly: "He said that we should not disturb him! Besides, I have traveled to this Penglai Island more than ten times, and it is really boring." ”

Zizhuxian scratched her head, "That...... Where do you want to go?"

Lingxi thought for a while and said, "I came to Penglai Island from Nuwa Palace, and I haven't been to the human world, so why don't we go to the human world to play?"

"The human world?" Zizhu Immortal hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "I heard that the world is a world of red dust, and it is easy to blind and kill more than one another, so it is not a good place to go." ”

Lingxi shook his head and said, "Who said that? My master was the third prince of the Great Shang Dynasty in the world, and he also stayed in the world, how can it be as terrible as you say? Besides, he once told me that the royal palace in the world is magnificent, comparable to the heavenly court, and you and I can't go to the heavenly court, and we can't go to the human realm? You and I will go and come back after a lap, okay?"

Zizhu Immortal couldn't stand Lingxi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to reluctantly agree. The two of them then sneaked out of the palace gate, and the two of them in the Nine Palaces Bagua Array naturally knew the way out, so they didn't alarm Guiguzi and went out of Penglai Island smoothly.

Where did the two go? Naturally, it is the Central Plains, the most prosperous capital in the world-Ho Jing.

It is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by King Wu, and three hundred years later it was passed to the hands of the King of You, Ji Gongyan. It is a pity that this Ji Gongyan does not have the style of the ancestor Wu Wang, it can be described as arrogant and lascivious, corrupting the Gangchang; after ascending the throne, he fought everywhere, causing the earth to be full of smoke and the people to live in poverty; and even caused the vassal states to complain. At this time, there is a tribe in the northwest of the Great Zhou, called the dog Rong, with the white wolf as the totem, fierce and good at fighting, has attacked the periphery of the Great Periphery many times, and invaded many cities. It all relied on the desperate resistance of the princes of the Six Roads to defend the royal capital, and a stalemate was formed for a while.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Youwang Xinna had a concubine named Bao Xi. This woman is so beautiful that she is fascinated by the mystery of the king, and she ignores the government all day long and only cares about coaxing this concubine......

On this day, the king of Youxi took Bao Xi to the imperial garden to play. Just in the middle of the interest, Bao Xi suddenly looked displeased.

King You asked, "Why is it displeasing to the beauty now that she is the queen?"

The beauty sighed lightly and replied coldly: "King, I will play in this back garden all day long, and there is nothing new. ”

King Youwang had never seen such a face, and for a while, the six gods had no master, and then said: "Why don't you give an order and build a place for the queen to play?"

Bao Xi shook his head and said, "When it takes time to build again, how can we solve the current urgency?"

Bao Xi said softly: "My lord, that day I was on the palace tower, and I saw several beacon towers in the distance, which were very majestic. Can you take me around here? ”

"Why not, as long as the queen is happy!" King Youwang agreed, and then ordered: "Come on!

King You, with Bao Xi, accompanied by Yu Shifu and several ministers, ascended the Lishan beacon tower.

This beacon tower is not magnificent! But see: The platform is four feet high and two feet high, six feet wide, and has a total area of 672 feet, which can accommodate 237 people.

Bao Xi stood on the platform and asked King You, "King, what is the use of this beacon?"

Father Yu Shi replied on the side: "The queen does not know, these twenty-four beacon towers are one every few miles. As soon as the foreign enemy attacked, the sentries immediately lit a beacon fire on the platform, and the neighboring beacon towers also lit fires one after another, alerting the nearby princes. When the princes saw the beacon fire, they knew that the capital was in an emergency, and the Son of Heaven was in trouble, and they must raise troops to rush to the rescue of the king. ”

Bao Xi's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she said coquettishly: "King, the concubine has never seen what the beacon fire looks like, can you light it and take a look?"

The minister who followed him hurriedly stopped: "The queen must not! This beacon fire, the princes will arrive soon, if you know that the royal city is fine, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

The king of Youwang slapped his sleeve in the face of the man and scolded: "Bastard! the queen is rarely so interested, retreat!"

"Light the beacon fire!" the king of Youwang ordered. For a time, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and the beacon fire soared into the sky. When the six princes saw the alarm, they thought that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, so they led their troops and horses to rush to the rescue. When I arrived at the foot of Li Mountain, there was not even a single figure, only the sound of music and singing on the mountain, and I saw that it was Youwang and Bao Xi sitting on the platform drinking and having fun.

The generals of the princes and armies were confused, so they went up to the beacon tower to meet the king of You. The generals asked, "Dare to ask the king, why don't I see the enemy when I see the beacon fire coming in a hurry?"

King You smiled: "There is no war in the royal city, today is the queen's game, the generals don't have to take it seriously, just retreat." Then he sent men to reward the three armies and let them retreat. Bao Xi couldn't help but smile when she saw that thousands of troops were coming when she was called. The king of You's heart is even more happy. For half a month in a row, Bao Xi lit a beacon fire to tease the princes many times on the grounds of playing, and the six major princes were all angry and were no longer fooled. The last line of defense to guard the Great Zhou is also in jeopardy, and the collapse of the country in three hundred years is only a matter of time.
