Chapter 44: The Bottomless Boat

What happened next is the story of Taishang Laojun and Erlang God resisting the decree to open the heavens, my inner demons obstructing the opening of the heavens after a hundred years, and I mistakenly broke into the six centers three hundred years later. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info There are several mysteries in the Jade Emperor's holy decree that I have not been able to solve: Taishang Laojun has not yet arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, how did the Jade Emperor know in advance that the formation has been laid out? And why did he emphasize at the end of the holy decree that "Hugh will mention the matter of opening the heavens again", could it be that he already knew in advance that Lao Jun was here for this matter? Who made the little report? In addition, since he knew everything so clearly, why did he mention in the holy decree that the golden boy would be made by " 100,000 heavenly soldiers take turns to serve and feed on the wicked people in the whole world"? Didn't he know that Taishang Laojun had solved this problem with the "strategy of murals"?

In short, this is definitely not my slip of the tongue, all these seemingly unreasonable places, there may be a more than one reasonable explanation, this explanation, I will not speculate, or leave it to future generations to deduce, my Sun Wumao or tell my story to Zhuge Xuan truthfully.

Originally, there was no need for me to stand up and say this, Zhuge Xuan could continue to write my story from his point of view, but I found that you human beings have a very interesting characteristic, what is the characteristic? That is, every unreasonable place left by the great god due to poor consideration, most people will think that this is deliberately left by him after careful consideration, and every seemingly unreasonable place deliberately left by the newcomer's pen after careful consideration, most people will think that this is caused by his inconsider.

Why did I stand up and say this? I am afraid that if I don't take the first step, Zhuge will be wiped out in the future, and whoever calls him a newcomer will not be a great god.

It is precisely because of this that I have repeatedly advised Zhuge to try to write my story between "not so explicit" and "some clues can be observed", not to be as obscure as Wu Chengen who rewrote my story as "Journey to the West", after all, people have become great gods more than 400 years ago, and there will always be people who find a reasonable explanation for the unreasonableness of the great god's pen, but newcomers can't.

I hope you can understand Zhuge Xuan's good intentions, and think about why when you encounter unreasonable places, you will definitely find some surprises.

Okay, I hope you don't think I'm a verbose cat, and now return the pen to Mr. Zhuge Xuan, so that he can continue to stand in his perspective and tell my story.

"Zhuge extinguished! Zhu ......"

Hey, this Zhuge is gone, he actually fell asleep......

Meow a mick, I'm going to wake him up!

......

In other words, after Sun Wucat was sucked into the mirror, he fell from the sky, his head rushed down and his feet were facing the sky, and the wind whistled in his ears, blowing so that he couldn't close his mouth, so that his whole face was out of shape, revealing two rows of white back molars, and his expression was very funny.

Below him was a wide river, about eight or nine miles wide, flowing slowly from north to south, quiet and serene. Sun Wumao struggled to open his eyes, which had been blown by the wind, and vaguely saw a small boat directly below him.

"Oh no! I can't swim!" said Sun Wumao.

"Poof!"

The waves splashed, and he plunged through the boat and sank into the river to the bottom. His eyes were full of horror, and he stared roundly, trying to hold his breath, puffing out his cheeks, his hands desperately pulling around, and occasionally a few bubbles popping out of his mouth.

He didn't want to die yet, but luckily he quickly floated up again, and floated back through the bottom of the boat.

"Whew...... Roar...... Oops, hey, suffocate me! It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous!" the Monkey Cat lay on the boat, clinging to the bottom of the boat like a gecko, panting heavily.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed.

As if he had made a new discovery, he got up from the boat in a panic and knelt down in the boat and looked down at him, his face full of surprise.

He found that the boat had no bottom, but he could sit on it safely! Through the bottom of the boat, the water of the river was extremely clear, and he could see the sand and rocks and swaying aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, and schools of fish swimming in the water, colorful, large and small, and of different shapes.

However, there seemed to be something not quite right, he frowned and focused his gaze, trying to find some clues, only to suddenly find that many of the fish under his feet were swimming upside down, some with their tails driving their heads backwards, and some of them swimming with their bellies rushing up and down their backs.

"Strange! What is this place?"

He stretched out a hand and cautiously reached to the bottom of the boat, and his fingertips touched the cold river water, without hindrance, and it seemed that the bottom of the boat did not exist.

He took advantage of the situation to stretch his whole arm into the river, and tried to scoop a handful of water up, but found that not only did he not scoop up the water, but even his sleeves were not wet, and he touched his body and head again, and they were all dry.

He blinked incredibly, stood up and looked around, but he was surprised to find that the boat under him was actually going against the trend.

"It's amazing!"

This situation has never been seen before, and even people will be full of curiosity when they see it, let alone a cat with such curiosity.

Sun Wumao stretched out a slap and slapped himself hard.

"Smack!"

Hurt.

"Hahaha...... I didn't dream!" Sun Wumao covered the half of his face with both hands, and said happily: "I didn't dream!

He was so excited that he opened his arms and looked up to the sky...... This looked up to the sky, and before he could laugh out loud, he ushered in a big surprise, no, to be precise, it should be a big fright, so scared that he fell on the boat.

What came into sight was a big black face with a grinning expression and a sad and angry expression, covering the entire sky and peeking at the whole land.

The big black face as big as the sky glared angrily at a pair of big round eyes looking left and right, as if looking for something, Sun Wumao recognized this face, he was black impermanent.

When he was under the gate of hell, Sun Wumao just picked up the bronze mirror and was about to slip out of hell, but he was hooked by Hei Impermanence from behind his shoulder, and said "Lord Hades, mention Sun Wu Cat's soul", and put the iron shackles over, and then shot a dazzling light from the bronze mirror, sucking Sun Wucat in.

Presumably, the black impermanence was looking for Sun Wumao in front of the bronze mirror at this time, right? Otherwise, he would not be able to go back to deal with Lord Yama, and if he couldn't pay the errand, he would be asked for dereliction of duty.

Sun Wumao saw that the big black face was outside the bronze mirror, although it was as big as the sky, but it would not pose any threat to him, Sun Wumao didn't come in so much effort at that time, how could the black impermanence easily enter. So he stood up again, clasped his hands into fists and arched to the sky, and said proudly: "Thank you!

The big black face in the sky bared out two rows of teeth, stretched out a little thumb, and picked at the gap between the teeth intently.

His teeth were not very white, and this move was really a bit of a big surprise, Sun Wumao had to lower his head to avoid this scene and continue to observe the surrounding environment.

This tranquil river is familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember anything. Sun Wumao looked in the direction of the boat, only to see a lonely single-plank bridge on the distant riverbank, and there was a big stone plaque standing at the head of the bridge, and the stone plaque seemed to be engraved with three big characters, but it was too far away to see it really, and it must be the name of the river.

The Monkey cat bent down and put his hands into the river at the bottom of the boat, alternating and struggling backwards to dig the water, hoping to make the boat go faster, so that he could reach the stone plaque as soon as possible to see what the name of this wonderful river was.

Finally, Sun Wumao was much closer to the stone plaque, he stood at the bow of the boat and looked there, only then did he see the words on the stone plaque, and he couldn't help but read it word by word from top to bottom:

"Crossing! Ling!"

"Shhh...... Crossing Lingyun?" Sun Wu Maoxin said that this was wrong, he looked around, carefully observed the Bodhi tree on the shore and the scenery in the distance, and then glanced at the single-plank bridge, and then suddenly realized: "Isn't this the place where I got lost with my master? Shouldn't this river be called 'Lingyundu'? How did it become 'Crossing Lingyun'?"

Sun Wumao frowned, and read the words on the stone plaque word by word, this time from bottom to top:

"Cloud! Ling!"

"Yun Lingdu? hiss...... It's still not right!" Sun Wumao looked puzzled, "Why is this name reversed?

He looked at the Bodhi tree on the shore and the scenery in the distance, and he was sure that except for the fact that the river was calmer than Lingyundu, and the words on the stone plaque were different from Lingyundu, all the other places were exactly the same as Lingyundu!

"Could it be that it's because of the mirror? In this way, will there be my owner who disappeared here in this river? Will there be the thousand-year-old dragon catfish that swallowed Tang Sanzang in his belly?"

Thinking of this, Sun Wumao put his hand into his arms, touched his master's shoe, squatted down, and looked for the bottomless river through the bottomless boat.
