Chapter 30: The Patriarch's Apparition
But what Liu Chen didn't know was that after he closed his eyes, the shadows that were still vague began to slowly appear under the cold light of the ghost flame ignited, just like the light of an old-fashioned movie camera showing images through film.
The shadows that slowly appeared in this way outlined a gray-white wilderness under the entire light, almost overlapping with the location of the Changle Palace, but it seemed that its appearance was not only the size of the current display, but the size of the Changle Palace could not be fully displayed.
And the Changle Palace, which was covered by the gray wilderness, suddenly gave birth to a coolness, and this coolness suddenly woke up the sleeping Taoist priest in the wing.
When those Taoist priests opened their eyes slightly, they could see that the hall was full of light, but it was caused by the cold light ignoring the walls.
"Damn, damn it, didn't those two little brutes knock over the lampstand and go out of the water?"
A Taoist priest who woke up in a trance saw the bright light in the house and immediately thought of the fire, I don't know if he had experienced something similar before. So he shouted loudly and loudly, called everyone up, and then rushed out of the chamber in disheveled clothes.
"What's going on?"
The two Taoist priests who were woken up by him, as well as the two Taoist children of Zhenchang Zhen'an, fell asleep for a while, and saw that the hall was full of bright light, and was still a little confused, and couldn't help muttering a few words. But after sobering up a little, I suddenly had the same idea as the Taoist priest who got up first, and there was a fire!
However, when they walked out of the chamber, they saw that the Taoist priest who had just come out was still stunned and did not move.
"What are you doing, you guy, you're still stunned, hurry up and put out the fire!"
Before he had time to carefully distinguish the situation, one of the Taoist priests opened his mouth and scolded. These three Taoist priests were sent by the Ren family to take charge of this Changle Palace, which can be regarded as a peaceful and idle job. But if there is really a situation where the palace is destroyed, they will probably suffer for the rest of their lives.
"Take a closer look—"
After being scolded, the Taoist priest known as Ji Yuan did not have any intention of refutating, but just raised his finger and pointed at the Xuanzhen Palace, and said in a light tone.
"What's there to look at here, huh, what's going on?"
After being Ji Yuan's case, the scolding Taoist priest was still scolding and scolding, but the rest of his eyes naturally followed Ji Yuan's fingers to look at the Xuanzhen Palace.
This look is incredible. At this time, the Xuanzhen Hall was generous and bright, and the majestic spiritual flame was raised, which was completely different from the fire. Moreover, under the illumination of the spiritual flame of the Xuanzhen Palace, the entire Changle Palace showed a gray wasteland scene, which reminded them of the things recorded in the Taoist scriptures.
"Really, is this hell?"
Although several other Taoist priests had faint guesses, they were not sure for a while. But Zhen'an, who was still a child, didn't think much about it, and felt that the scene in front of him seemed to be very similar to the hell depicted in the Taoist book, so he pulled the sleeve of Zhenchang next to him and asked in a low voice.
However, although he spoke quietly, in the dead of night at this time, even a needle could be heard when it landed, let alone whispering.
"It's a hell, yes, it's a hell! Three thousand miles in a week, lonely and empty, it is the permanent residence of the ghosts. ”
After being asked by Zhen'an, before waiting for Zhenchang to answer on the side, Guyuan said with a smile, which was full of joy.
For Gua Yuan's joy, Zhen'an can't understand it. However, after receiving an affirmative answer, he looked at the spiritual flame that wrapped the entire Xuanzhen Palace, and said to himself:
"So this is a thought of light and hell!"
As soon as the words fell, he gave birth to a little enlightenment, his eyes were instantly occupied by the spiritual flame, and his heart seemed to be illuminated by the cold light born by the spiritual flame at this moment.
"Hey, Zhen'an, Zhen'an?"
Seeing that Zhen'an beside him suddenly stopped moving, Zhenchang on the side screamed twice urgently, but he couldn't get any reaction.
"Don't scream, always. This kid is lucky, he actually had an epiphany under the manifestation of the patriarch, you just look at him a little. ”
Hearing the real scream, Gua Yuan glanced back at it, and then said a little unhappily. However, he quickly shook off this unhappy emotion, turned around and continued to look at Xuanzhen Hall with feverish eyes.
"Oh. ”
Although he didn't have much respect for these three uncles, he still understood that he didn't know as much as the other party when it came to cultivation, so he nodded and looked at Zhen'an who was in the midst of an epiphany with some joy.
But the other two Taoist priests were different, and they immediately heard the most crucial word in Ji Yuan's words.
"Ji Yuan, are you saying that the ancestor is manifesting right now?"
The two Taoist priests hesitated, and there was some expectation and some doubt in their tones, but in the final analysis, it is estimated that there are more expectations.
"Otherwise, it's hard for you to think that besides Xuanzhen Patriarch, who else can make such a move. Are you looking at this scene, isn't it the vision of the patriarch breaking the candle of life and death? We will sincerely worship day and night, and we have been inspired by the patriarch, so this image will be displayed to enlighten us! If not, how could Zhen'an, a man of the Han family, realize the true meaning of the Dao at the age of twelve!"
Holding his head high, Ji Yuan looked full of confidence, and said to the two who were still confused.
This remark is also reasonable, and there is such a clear example as Zhen'an, which immediately persuaded the two Taoist priests who were still a little confused.
"I still sincerely worship, even the night lanterns prescribed by the ritual are made by me and Zhen'an, what does it have to do with you!"
Looking at the eager expressions of the three uncles, they pursed their lips normally, and said with disdain in their hearts. He has been here for more than half a year, and he has long been clear about the virtues of these three uncles, so naturally he will not really believe in Ji Yuan's sincere dedication to the nonsense that led to the manifestation of the ancestor.
And at this time, Zhen'an, who was in the epiphany, also completed his advancement from an ordinary man to a disciple of Zhengsheng and came to his senses. Seeing this, Zhenchang didn't bother to care about the three uncles, and asked Zhen'an:
"How do you feel? ”
"Well, my mind has cleared up a lot, and I understand things a little, no wonder you are usually so smart! But my breaking through the hell this time seems to be a little different from the scriptures, as if I saw a person in the light. Dressed in black linen, tall and big, his eyes are all black, so scary!"
Hearing Zhenchang's question, Zhen'an first said how he felt now. Then he said some different things in his advanced process, as if he hoped that he could really answer them.
