The tower gate finally closed the last crack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Guanyin Bodhisattva closed his eyes and recited the words and deeds, and one by one the big golden runes surrounded the Leifeng Pagoda, transformed into a golden Buddha statue, shrouded in the Leifeng Pagoda, no longer the sunset, but the real Buddha light.

Yang Jian and the Howling Sky Dog glanced at each other, although they had always known that Guanyin Bodhisattva was unpredictable, but now they saw it with their own eyes and couldn't help but be a little shocked, even if they were sealed in the tower, they would never be able to escape.

However, thinking of the ability used by Bai Suzhen, she couldn't help but sigh, unless she had this level of Buddhism, how could other formations trap her.

Guanyin Bodhisattva left on the lotus throne, and the figures of Yang Jian and the Howling Sky Dog gradually disappeared.

In front of Leifeng Pagoda, silence returned again.

When the last rays of light have dissipated from the western sky, and the stars fill the night sky, the night has arrived.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu returned to the Yaochi Immortal Palace with a solemn face, but saw that the palace was full of lights, looking ready to celebrate with a feast.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy looked forward to it in front of the palace gate, and when she saw the Nine Heavens Xuannu, her eyes burst out with surprise, and she hurriedly stepped forward, but she hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say. "Niang Niang has prepared a banquet for you, and has asked all the Yao Chi fairies to come back to celebrate for you. ”

The Nine Heavens Xuannu sighed: "Niangniang, she still likes to hold banquets so much!"

The Hundred Flowers Fairy shook her head, her beautiful face showing a hint of loneliness like withering petals, "After you are gone, there are a lot less." "At the beginning, the beautiful scenery of three small banquets and five large banquets in Yao Chi appeared in front of me again, as if the laughter and laughter would never stop.

At that time, she was not an immortal, so she sat below, looking at the seat with infinite admiration, the two most dazzling people in the fairy palace, drank one cup after another, until one of them left suddenly, and everything changed: "Later, Niangniang, she was drunk and called your name!" I tried hard to play her image, but I seemed so powerless.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy immediately adjusted her mood: "But you're finally back." ”

"yes, it's back!"

The Nine Heavens Xuannu generously grabbed the waist of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, walked towards the palace with her, and asked with a smile: "Little Flower, have I ever prepared my Hundred Flowers Brew?" Her tall figure is almost no longer under Xu Xian, wearing armor and wearing a feather coat, and there is a kind of chic that a man can't match, and the situation of holding the Hundred Flowers Fairy is like a man hugging a woman.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy's face was slightly dizzy, and she looked at the heroic face of the Nine Heavens Xuannu almost obsessively: "It's ready, it's been preparing for many years." ”

A few flower fairies accompanying the Hundred Flowers Fairy on the side looked at this scene incredulously, how could they ever see the big grinning Hundred Flowers Fairy so small.

"It's so unfair, I begged you for a jar to drink, but I don't know how difficult it is. At this time, a voice came from behind him, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Hundred Flowers Fairy turned around, only to see the Yunmeng Fairy standing not far away, looking at them with a smile, but their eyes were covered with a layer of mist in their eyes.

The Hundred Flowers Fairy pouted and said, "I'll let you drink enough today!"

"It turned out to be Xiao Meng'er, and she still loves to cry so much!" The Nine Heavens Xuannu hooked the chin of the Yunmeng Fairy and said with a serious face: "Didn't I warn you? If you shed tears for me again, I will fall in love with you." ”

Yunmeng Fairy smiled "poof", and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Who wants you to fall in love with me!"

The fairy on the side couldn't believe her eyes, was this still the Yunmeng fairy who had always been calm? And it would be evaluated as crying, and there was no intention of refuting it.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu was surprised: "Have you already empathized and fallen in love?" shook her head and sighed: "Sure enough, it's a woman surnamed Shui." ”

Yunmeng Fairy sighed helplessly, and from now on she had to listen to her nonsense again, but a deep nostalgia welled up in her heart.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu also hugged the Yunmeng Fairy in her arms, hugged her left and right like this, and stepped into the palace.

I saw that under the personal command of the Queen Mother of the West, the fairies were like beautiful butterflies, flying around and decorating the hall with flowers and ribbons.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu looked at each other with the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, then stretched out and greeted her with a smile.

The banquet began quickly, and although there were still some fairies who did not come, it did not matter, because the banquet was destined to last for a long time.

The atmosphere quickly became warm, and the Nine Heavens Xuannu and the Queen Mother of the West sat on the steps, guessing the wine, and every time there was a victory, they needed to drink a glass of wine, and the fairies surrounding them cheered. As soon as the glass is empty, it is immediately filled.

The incomparably precious elixir and jade liquid were sent down by them without caring about the cups, and when they drank it, the Nine Heavens Xuannu drew her sword and danced, and the Queen Mother of the West immediately ordered: "Take that thing!"

"That kind of thing?" The fairies who joined Yaochi late were all inexplicable, and Fairy Yunmeng smiled heartily with the Hundred Flowers Fairy: "This is what Niangniang is best at, I haven't performed for many years, so you are blessed." ”

"The best?" the fairies were surprised.

In a few moments, a super drum was sent to the temple, and the Queen Mother of the West picked up the drumstick made from the leg bones of some beast, and struck out a thunderous roar, but it was extremely beautiful and beautiful, better than all the instruments in the world.

The earth-shattering drums contain some mysterious power and rhythm, which makes the fairies feel a burst of spiritual encouragement, and they can't wait to dance to the sound of the drums.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu smiled slightly, this drum was given to the Queen Mother of the West at the beginning, it was made of the skin of the Kui Niu, and the bones of the thunder beast were used as drumsticks, with incredible divine power, it was a real war drum.

The sound of the drums and the sword dance echoed each other until the drums stopped, the dance stopped, and the immortals were still immersed in the ultimate joy and joy.

The Queen Mother of the West seemed to be overwhelmed by the strength of the wine and fell asleep on the drum, and was sent back to the palace by several fairies.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu laughed a few times, was pulled to a square table by the Hundred Flowers Fairy, took out the fetish mahjong, and invited her to rub it together.

"There is still this kind of play?" The Nine Heavens Xuannu was better than obeying her fate, but she said: "Isn't it boring to have no bets, just take off a piece of clothing if you lose!"

The other fairies blushed, even if they were all women, how could they untie their clothes? But how could they be better than the drunken Nine Heavens Xuannu, but the Nine Heavens Xuannu learned this way for the first time, and after a while, the kung fu lost several games in a row, and the fairies on the side joked and made noise.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu stood up: "Okay, well, since you want to see it, I'll take it off for you now!" As she spoke, she reached out to untie her clothes, and the fairies turned red, how could they really let her be like this, so she hurriedly stopped her, and saw that she was also drunk, so she was sent to the palace to rest.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu waved away a few fairies who were helping each other, and returned to the palace alone, then fell to the ground as if she was overwhelmed by alcohol, and whispered: "Niangniang, I am so painful!" The joy on her face was like ice and snow melting, turning into a face full of pain, and her slender body curled up, as if she could no longer bear it.

With a long sigh, the figure of the Queen Mother of the West appeared, holding the Nine Heavens Xuannu in her arms, and her face was pressed against her cheek: "Silly boy, you are also for his good." ”

"But he's suffering!"

"Aren't you?"

The Nine Heavens Xuannu showed a difficult smile: "Reincarnation, it's really not fun!"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "Forget him!"

"I'm afraid I can't. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you. The Queen Mother of the West suddenly took out something from her sleeve, a blue vial that was not very good, and handed it to the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

"What is this?" The Nine Heavens Xuannu held the vial, feeling as if there was water flowing in it, and she could feel the wonderful power contained in it through the bottle.

The Queen Mother of the West said: "You are too confident, you always think that you can do anything, this bottle of Lethe River is prepared for you at this time." ”

The water of Lethe River, as its name suggests, is an elixir that can be forgotten. There are countless elixir spells in the world that can make people lose their memories, the most famous of which is Meng Po Tang in the Yin Division of the Difu, which can make the soul forget its past life and reincarnate.

Most of the practitioners of the Tao are able to do such things. But this is not to completely erase this memory, but to temporarily close the memory, there is still a chance to recall it.

Moreover, it is useless for a powerful cultivator like the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the way of cultivation is to pay attention to wisdom and clarity, and there is no room for ignorance, and sealing the existing memory is not conducive to self-deception.

The water of Lethe is different, it does not play a role in sealing, but a thorough cleansing. Such a small bottle of Lethe River water, for some cultivators, is an elixir that is even rarer than Jindan Peach. Because all flesh and blood will inevitably have obsessions, maybe for someone, maybe for something.

If the attachment is too deep, it will become a demonic obstacle that prevents the practitioner from cultivating.

Of course, there are many people of great wisdom and perseverance who are able to turn their troubles into bodhi through penance and enlightenment. But there are more people who can't see through it, can't let it go, and in the end they can't help but be unable to move forward, and even fall from the devil's thoughts. If Fahai could take a sip and forget his hatred for Bai Suzhen and his oath to himself, he would at least be able to save hundreds of years of penance.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu held the vial, and her heart trembled, as long as she could wash away that memory, then all the troubles and pains she was suffering now would no longer exist, and she could turn back into that dashing Xuannu, a free Xuanniao.

The Nine Heavens Xuannu closed her eyes and groaned for a while, took the water of Lethe River into her arms, and sincerely said to the Queen Mother of the West: "Thank you!"

The Queen Mother of the West said, "Don't you plan to drink it now?"

The Nine Heavens Xuannu said: "I still want to rely on my own strength, even if I really want to drink, after completing my duties." ”

The Queen Mother of the West said, "What duty?"

The Nine Heavens Xuannu said: "Choose the lord of the world to quickly calm down the troubled times, and not let his hard work be in vain, this is also the last thing I can do for him now." ”

"You already have the right person?"

"yes, a woman, too. ”
