Chapter 70: White Jade is the Palace

From a distance, a straight jade mountain rises from the ground and stands tall among the mountains. The jade mountain is extremely steep, there is no way up the mountain at all, and the white jade is like a work of art, which is completely different from the surrounding mountains covered with green, which is not known how much it is worth if it is put to the outside world.

When you get closer, you will find that on the top of the mountain, a palace made of white jade appears on the top of the mountain, which is integrated with the white jade mountain, as if it is a palace that grows naturally from the jade mountain.

The white jade palace contains the mountain gate, the main hall, the middle hall, the apse and the east and west side halls, several jade pillars in front of the mountain gate, the left side of the box is wrapped with the golden scales of the sun red beard dragon, the right side of the box is hovering with the colorful feather volley red-crowned phoenix, which is engraved with three big characters: white jade palace.

In front of the main gate is a large-scale square, long Qiao jade pillar, famous flower elixir, glazed makeup, jade makeup, according to a mysterious law distribution on it. On the east side of the square, a deep pit appeared in front of you, empty, only a little water in the center of the bottom of the pool, and the word "Yao Chi" was written on the stone pillar by the pool, it turned out that this was Yao Chi!

The sky above the Yao Pond stands and hangs, the color is magnificent, huge, connected with the mountain wall, and you can vaguely see (*** There are water droplets crumbling, it seems that this is how the water in the Yao Pond came from before.

Chen Qi and his entourage had long been shocked by these scenes, both shocked by the magnificence of the Jade Mountain and the White Jade Palace, as well as by the Yao Chi and the huge stalactites. Chen Qi controlled the flying cloud shuttle, landed on the square, and then retracted the flying cloud shuttle.

Guan Xiaoyue was shocked and said to everyone: "This is the most beautiful palace I have ever seen!"

The monkey said, "This is the first time I've come to the White Jade Palace, and it's not much better than the palaces of the Heavenly Court." ”

At this time, Chen Qi whispered to them: "Did you notice Yaochi just now? I have learned before, the huge stalactite above Yaochi is called Lingyun Stalactite, and the dripping is also called Lingyun Stalactite, which is also called holy water. ”

Liu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "What is the purpose of this holy water?"

Chen Qi said mysteriously: "You all know that there is more than one Yao Chi of the Queen Mother of the West, it has been recorded in the "Notes on the Book of Mountains and Seas" that although the Queen Mother of the West takes Kunlun as her palace, she also has her own cave to leave the palace, and the place to rest is not to live in a mountain. It means that the place of residence of the Queen Mother of the West, the so-called Yao Chi, should be more than one. Legend has it that Qinghai Lake, where our spiritual monastery is located, was a Yao Pond a long time ago. Then why is it that only this one Yao Chi on the Jade Mountain has developed spiritual wisdom, and finally becomes the queen mother of the head of the heavenly immortals?"

Guan Xiaoyue suddenly said, "Is it because of this Lingyun stalactite?"

Chen Qi snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, but there is no reward." Lingyun stalactites absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and it takes a hundred years to condense a drop of holy water. After being filtered for 100 years, the holy water is pure and flawless, not only has the effect of purifying the body, but also has the effect of opening up the mind. The attraction of this demon beast is incomparably huge, you must know that although all things have spirits, but to really open the spiritual intelligence, it really takes a coincidence, made in heaven. Of course, people like Brother Monkey are another story. ”

The monkey gave him a blank look, and Chen Qi continued: "But if you have the help of Lingyun stalactites, you can easily achieve this goal." Do you say that it is effective to absorb the aura of heaven and earth by one's own instinct in ignorance, or is it effective to systematically study and cultivate after opening the spiritual wisdom?"

Guan Xiaoyue couldn't help but say: "Good guy, I didn't see it, you still have the attribute of advertising, you almost said that Lingyun stalactites are a certain gold that enhances intelligence and improves memory." ”

Seeing that Guan Xiaoyue didn't believe it, Chen Qi said: "Don't believe it, if it weren't for this Lingyun stalactite, Yaochi would still be just a pool for the Queen Mother of the West to enjoy the flowers, at most it will be owned by a Queen Mother of the West, how can she become a high-ranking Queen Mother." ”

The monkey nodded and said: "I agree with Lao Qi's statement, I heard of Lingyun stalactites in my previous life, and I originally wanted to find some to use for my monkey cubs, but I didn't know that it was on this white jade mountain, so I didn't want to do it later." ”

Hearing this, Guan Xiaoyue said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, such a good thing, hurry up and get it." After speaking, he prepared to walk towards Yaochi.

Chen Qi hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Are you stupid, didn't you see so many dogs patrolling by the Yao Pond, and there are bird heads popping up in front of those huge caves on the mountain wall, so what's the hurry." ”

Looking from afar, I saw wild beasts distributed around Yaochi, shaped like dogs, with leopard-like markings on their bodies, and horns like cows, and their barking sounds were no different from dog barking.

Chen Qi said with a smile: "This should be a cunning dog, I don't know if it will be as easy to get along with as the big black in our family?"

Guan Xiaoyue encouraged him and said, "You go and try, I will definitely not bite you." ”

Chen Qi ignored her, but said to the monkey: "Among the caves above should be the Qingluan recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", doesn't it mean that there are three blue birds that prepare food for the Queen Mother of the West, and it stands to reason that they don't live on this mountain? ”

The monkey said: "Qingluan is a phoenix divine bird, it is a rui bird, and it generally does not take the initiative to attack us, but if we go to get the Lingyun stalactite, this is not easy to say." ”

Qingluan, also known as Cangluan, has a body surface close to a peacock and a body about like a chicken, with gorgeous plumage. The tail feathers are particularly long, with many red yellow and white eye-like markings on the wings, and the red ones are male and the blue ones are female. Legend has it that a mythical bird like a phoenix is a peaceful and festive omen.

"Jin Shu Mu Di Ji": "(Shengping four years) February, the phoenix will see the nine chicks in Fengcheng. ”

There are also ancient records, the legend of chaos at the beginning of the opening, clear and light rise to the sky, thick and heavy sinking to the ground. The sun and the moon are bright, the stars are around, and all things are growing. Male phoenix and female phoenix, heaven and earth are combined, and there are nine kinds of births: golden phoenix, color phoenix, fire phoenix, snow phoenix, blue phoenix, peacock, roc, thunderbird, and gale.

Wang Yinglin of the Southern Song Dynasty compiled the tenth volume of "Elementary School Pearls": "The five phoenixes are called: the red one is the red bird, the yellow one is the chick, the green one is Luan, the purple one is the cormorant (the sound is the same as Yue Zhuo), and the white one is the hoof." It means that the phoenix gave birth to five children, namely the red bird, the small bird, the green luan, the cormorant and the white bird. The yellow bird is in the center, the blue-blue green luan is in the east, the vermilion finch is in the south, the white bird is in the west, and the purple cormorant is in the north. The five-sided divine bird, also as a five-colored phoenix.

The yellow chick in the center gave birth to nine chicks, namely peacock, Tonghe, blue duck, snow owl, purple swallow, Dapeng, Zhaofeng, Benpheasant, and Baiming.

And just as the dragon gives birth to nine sons, whether it is the phoenix giving birth to nine chicks, or the theory of five phoenixes, it represents an imaginary number. In China, five and nine have the ultimate and noble meaning, and are most commonly used to represent a large number of imaginary numbers, so whether it is a simple nine phoenix or five phoenixes, they are all to express the abundance of phoenix birds, and the five phoenixes or nine phoenixes are just the most outstanding species.

You can't go back to Baoshan empty, knowing that there is such a divine object here, how can you watch it in a hurry. Chen Qi said: "You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go to the front to try, if they don't stop them, then of course it's best, I'll just collect all these Lingyun stalactites; ”

The monkey analyzed: "Old Seven, I am eighty percent sure that those cunning dogs are specially guarding this Yao Chi holy water, don't you see that the range of their activities is basically around Yao Chi? ”

Chen Qi said categorically: "It's okay, always try to understand the situation clearly, if it's dangerous, I will return it in time, and we'll figure out a way when we're done." After speaking, under the gaze of the three people, he cautiously approached in the direction of Yaochi.
