Prologue: Rendezvous (Revised)
Dust edge
On that day, I shook all the prayer barrels, not for excess, but to touch your fingertips;
That year, crawling on the mountain road, not for the audience, but for your warmth;
The mountain turned again and again, not to cultivate the next life, but to meet you on the way.
------ Cangyang Gyatso
Prologue
There is a sun and moon in the sky, and there are several spring and autumn in the world.
At that time, the vast Shenzhou, Guanshan was majestic, the big rivers were vertical and horizontal, between the mountains and rivers, there were thousands of miles of fertile fields, and the weather was thousands. For hundreds of millions of years, the sky has condensed, the earth has risen, and under the intersection of yin and yang, there have clouds and winds, lightning and thunder.
The condensation of things and the emergence of living beings. I don't know that hundreds of millions of years later, someone will have to walk on the earth. In this prosperous world, the things of antiquity have long been unknowable. Whether it is a doctor or a peddler, all those who know it are nothing more than fairies and spirits, all kinds of absurd legends. Even the era of the flood and famine recorded in the official history only goes back tens of thousands of years. People of great insight naturally know that the history books must not be believed, and they cannot be fully believed, and all the desolate things contained in the books are not much different from the historical facts of Yu Linye.
China is blessed with many years of wind and rain, so it is gradually moving towards prosperity. Among them, there are some people who don't like the world's fame, but only love to seek mountains and water. He also lived in those places where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the earth and qi gathered, and he escaped from the world and devoted himself to cultivation.
In ancient times, it was rumored that there was a monk called Guangchengzi, who thoroughly understood the immortal law, rode a crane to the west, and left a number of immortal traces. Since then, the wind of earthly immortal cultivation to visit the Tao has flourished. For thousands of years, people who have attained the Tao and ascended have been heard of, and it is not uncommon to mention them in the official history. At this point, mortals know that above the nine heavens, there is another green and dark, and the ground is 100 feet underground, which is the Yellow Spring. It's just that the immortals say that after all, there is nothing and ethereal, and the immortals are far away from each other, and ordinary people still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, eat three meals and have food and clothing, and work all their lives without liberation. When you get old and come back, a pinch of loess, a few tears, and there will be no trace.
Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, or an important annual festival, the people will burn incense and make offerings to worship those gods who they will not be able to see in their lifetime. Because they believe that the distance between gods and men is not far away, as long as they sincerely pray and worship sincerely, the heavens will finally feel something, and the fairy world will be aware of it, although it is not a request, it can finally be fulfilled. It's just that the difference between heaven and earth, the separation between immortals and customs, is really like a huge ocean of oceans, far beyond the imagination of these ordinary people, this is needless to mention.
However, outside the nine heavens, there is indeed a vast mystical world, that is, the dwelling place of all immortals, the fairy world called in the mouth of the mortals, and also known as the heavenly palace, lotus flower, wonderful land, and so on, with different names.
The place where the fairy world is located is vast and incomparably vast, and I don't know where its realm is. Up and down secluded, even if there is great supernatural power, there is no way to measure its depth.
However, the fairy world is not as ordinary people think, only prosperous, singing and dancing.
In the vast fairy world, except for the central place, the four fields are all barren, everywhere in the Xuan Realm, there is a great danger hidden in it, even if it is an ordinary immortal, it does not dare to leave the fairy realm too far, once it falls into the fantasy realm of the mysterious wilderness, it is possible that it will never get out, and the golden immortal products will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Therefore, those who dare to walk in and out of the mysterious and desolate secret realm, if they are not immortals with great magical powers, they are immortals with mysterious means, so they are not afraid of all kinds of dangers.
However, beyond the vast wilderness, and then into the depths, what world is it and what heavenly opportunities it is, even immortals do not know.
At the extreme edge of the fairy world, there is a heavenly river, 100,000 zhang wide, 100,000 feet deep, the waves on the water surface are not prosperous, stretching and stretching, do not see its source, do not know the end. There are no trees and vegetation within a thousand miles of the river, no birds in the air, no dust on the ground, and no other.
The water of the heavenly river is not extraordinary water, it is extremely weak, and the pieces are not loaded, whether it is a heavenly beast or an immortal, it sinks when it enters the water, and there is no possibility of coming out of the water. Above the heavenly river, there is a breeze that comes from the Xuan Ming and goes to the endless place. Normally, these winds are just surging slightly, no different from the wind and rain in the world, but every once in a while, the wind will carry a mysterious smell from nowhere. The so-called mysterious, that is, once you encounter the magic weapon of the immortal family or the spiritual object that has been cultivated, it will erode its immortal energy and dissociate its structure.
Because of this, this heavenly river was named Fuji Tianhe, and it became a natural barrier for the winged immortal world. However, occasionally, the Dao Spirit will come out from the depths of the Xuan Desolation, cross the Fuji Heavenly River, and sneak into the Immortal Realm. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor ordered the capable immortals to patrol the edge of the Xuan Desolation to prevent the spirit monsters from invading the tranquility of the fairy world.
The two heavenly rivers are like swimming dragons, meandering in the fairy world. The riverside was a wilderness, shrouded in light mist, and lifeless for thousands of miles. Only at the bend of the river, by the waterside pool, there is a bluestone, born crystal clear, proud, faintly, revealing some vitality, incompatible with the surrounding environment, showing extraordinary things.
I don't know where it came from, but it has been standing on the banks of the Fuji River since ancient times. There is no sun and moon in the immortal mountain, and it has not been established for tens of thousands of years.
On this day, the long-standing silence on the bank of the Wuding River was broken again, and in the distance, where the clouds and fog dispersed, there was an immortal who walked freely. His face is like a crown of jade, his nose is in the hanging gall, his air is high, his sideburns are high, he is tied with colorful glazed dragon balls, he is embroidered with clouds in front of a robe, and the corners of the robes are decorated with an octagonal exquisite tower, and there are three lotus flowers under his feet.
The immortal looked at the bluestone on the bank of the Wuding River from afar, smiled slightly, and the lotus light bloomed under his feet, speeding up his travel, and in the blink of an eye, he had flown to the top of the Fuji River. He drove the fairy lotus, and in an instant he had been flying around the river for three weeks, and his mind swept all over the area within a radius of thousands of miles, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he lowered the fairy lotus and slowly fell beside the bluestone.
He straightened out his fairy robe, leaned back against the bluestone, faced the vast and uncertain heavenly river, calmly sat down cross-legged, and took out a volume of the Book of Heaven from his arms, and read it aloud.
The vast smoke waves, the bright bluestone, accompanied by the sound of the book, this is located on the edge of the mysterious and fierce realm of the two rivers, for a time it is also cloudy, the fragrance is fragrant, thousands of lotus petals fall, and the wind and drizzle are sprinkled, the sky reveals the light of the purple glow, the barren land, suddenly into an auspicious place.
After a short time, after a volume of heavenly books was finished, the immortal slowly stood up and took the heavenly book into his arms. He patted the bluestone beside him and said with a smile: "Qingshi, Qingshi, you can listen to me read the seven volumes of the Book of Heaven, and it is also a great fate." Now that your aura is exposed and your cultivation is about to be full, if you have a chance, you may also be able to get rid of the stone body and cultivate into an immortal fetus. Now the time is coming, you and I have met this time, and we will say goodbye. ”
The immortal raised his hand and pointed, and three lotus flowers fell from the sky. He stepped on the lotus, and when he wanted to fly, he saw thousands of smoke waves on the Tianhe River, and the wind rose again, and suddenly he realized something, so he turned around and came to the front of the bluestone, and said: "Bluestone, bluestone, you and I are destined." I just saw the resurgence of the wind on the uncertain Tianhe, and I realized the 'dissociation secret', and I will pay you too!"
After that, the sleeves of his robe flicked, and the smoke passed, and a text had already appeared on the bluestone, and then gradually disappeared.
This time he didn't stay any longer, picked up the lotus, and rushed away.
On the bank of the uncertain river, the wilderness is vast, and for a while, only one side of the bluestone remains.
This immortal is the envoy of the Quartet Patrol Realm, patrolling back and forth to inspect the Xuanhuang Frontier, in case any spirit takes advantage of the void. Although these spirits can't make much trouble, it is not appropriate to disturb the immortal cultivation.
The immortals inspect the four realms and travel for a week every five hundred years. Every time he arrives on the bank of the Wuding River, he will sit beside the bluestone, read aloud a volume of the Book of Heaven, and then get up and brush the belt of his robe and scarf, so that he will leave.
There is no sun and moon in the fairy mountain.
Since when Fang began to meet with Qingshi, the immortals no longer know. Once every 500 years, this is the first time we have ever met.
But those seven heavenly books, turned over and over, how many times did they read dozens of times?
After the immortal left, I don't know how many years have passed, the bluestone is blown by the Xunfeng wind, absorbing the dew of the heavenly river, and the glow is getting more and more prosperous.
Suddenly, one day, the uncertain Tianhe, which had always been calm and waveless, suddenly had turbulent waves and strong winds. The thunder was rolling, the earthquake was trembling and roaring, and even the immovable bluestone was flowing and shaking endlessly.
After a shocking thunderstorm, a cyan light rose to the sky on the bank of the Tianhe River, straight up to the ninth night! Looking at the Tianhe River Bay, the bluestone had already exploded, and between the rubble, there stood a Zhuo Zhuo woman in a green robe. She frowned slightly, looking around blankly, not knowing where she was.
At this moment, the smoke and dust at the end of the wasteland were thick, and the faint sound of war drums and horns came. The woman looked at the place where the smoke had come from.
The white light flashed in the distance, and a snow-white beast that looked like a cat and a fox rushed towards it as if it were not on its feet, and in an instant, it had rushed in front of the woman in green clothes.
The snow-white beast was buried in a hard rush, unaware that there was a woman made of bluestone standing in front of it. Although its spiritual sense is the most desolate, it still feels the breath of the woman at all. It's no wonder that she has just taken off her stone clothes and cultivated into an immortal body, and at this moment, her whole body is full of aura, but she is still dominated by stone qi. In the little beast's spiritual sense, the woman was just a bluestone.
Qingshi was at a loss at the moment, and he didn't know where he was or where he was going. Her heart suddenly moved slightly, Ying Ying leaned down, and where her slender hand landed, she grabbed the back of the little beast's neck and lifted it up.
The little beast never expected this result, and for a while it was so anxious that it opened its teeth and claws, and squeaked and screamed at the woman, obviously showing off its style. However, its head is big and its claws are short, its snow-white fur is extremely soft, its eyes are red like fire crystals, and no matter how hard it tries to show its small teeth, it is only cute, not majestic.
The woman lifted the little beast in front of her, and looked at it with a pair of blue eyes. Seeing the little beast struggling in vain, he couldn't help but smile gracefully.
At this time, the evil spirit in the distance rose into the sky, and a horn came leisurely, and a fierce killing machine loomed in the horn. The little beast turned its head to look and saw countless flags looming in the smoke and dust that rushed into the sky, and he was stunned for a while. And the woman was also looking into the distance, and saw countless armored soldiers rushing towards this place, and she didn't feel a little puzzled.
The snow-white beast stopped struggling, whimpered softly, and slowly lowered its head. Its four paws curled up slightly, and in the hands of the woman in green clothes, it shrank into a snow-white pompom, as if it was waiting to die with its eyes closed.
For some reason, the pity in the heart of the woman in Tsing Yi suddenly came to life. She sighed softly, her fingers loosened slightly, and the snow-white beast fell to the ground. It didn't seem to have expected such a result at all, and flicked a few flicks on the ground, and then stretched out its four claws, like a bolt of lightning, and ran towards the Uncertain Heavenly River not far away.
When it reached the river, it suddenly stopped and looked back at the woman.
The woman in green clothes stood in the wind, and a pair of beautiful eyes also looked at it.
The four eyes met for a moment, and it was only a matter of seconds.
The snow-white beast suddenly raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, its voice became clearer and clearer, like a dragon's groan!
Before the whistling sounded, it had turned around, jumped ten feet, and plunged into the uncertain heavenly river. A small splash was stirred up on the smooth Tianhe River, and there were several ripples that did not disperse for a long time.
In the pupils of the woman in green clothes, several ripples were also reflected, which did not disperse for a long time.
At this moment, a loud shout like a thunderbolt came, which dispersed the ripples in the bluestone pupils: "That stupid thing, you are so bold, how dare you let go of the Ten Thousand Year Heavenly Demon!"
Qingshi turned around in a panic, and saw that there was already an immortal several times taller than her and with golden armor behind her, glaring at her angrily. And countless heavenly soldiers had already surged past her like a tide, chasing after the heavenly river. But when they reached the river, they did not dare to take another step in any way. The Tianhe River is weak and windy, even the immortals dare not cross lightly, how can these ordinary heavenly soldiers dare to step into the river?
Qingshi was slightly panicked. She had just been reborn and acted on instinct, and at this time her mind was not yet fully opened, and she was completely unaware that a catastrophe was coming.
The Golden Armor Immortal looked the bluestone up and down, and sighed, "That's it, the Heavenly Demon has fled back to the Xuan Wilderness at this moment. You stupid thing has committed a great sin, come with me to see the Immortal Emperor! It's just that it is not easy for you to cultivate, and before you can achieve the transformation of the Dao, you will be punished by the Heavenly Thunder and the Destruction of the Body. ”
Before Qingshi understood the meaning of the golden armor immortal's words, he heard a loud bang, a pair of slender hands had an extra pair of shackles, and an immortal pawn made a move towards her with a jade card, and a light immediately covered her, and it was sucked into the jade plate.
"Bold fool, are you guilty?"
It wasn't until this shout that Qingshi woke up from his trance. She looked around and saw that she was in the middle of a glorious heavenly temple at some point. The main hall is supplemented by green jade, with white stone as the pillar, and the four-cornered copper beast incense burner is full of mist and unknown spices are burning. On the four eaves of the main hall, there are blue and gold beasts sitting on it.
There was a sound in the air in the main hall, but Qingshi knelt in the center of the hall, unable to move at all.
Directly in front of her, there was a long jade staircase, all the way up, reaching into the vast clouds. The sound of the break fell from the clouds and landed in front of the steps.
She was panicked and puzzled, and she didn't know what she was guilty of.
At this time, another voice came: "Your Majesty, this stupid thing is indulging in the heavenly demons, although it is an unintentional mistake, but its misfortune is endless, according to the law, it should be beaten into the yin pool, and it will suffer the punishment of extreme cold and body erosion forever." Gu Nian has just been transformed, and his spiritual consciousness has not been opened, so he can only be punished with heavenly thunder and corpse. ”
Qingshi trembled slightly, she didn't know what the punishment of the Heavenly Thunder Body was, but she faintly felt that the divine consciousness that had been cultivated for hundreds of millions of years was probably going to go here.
"Your Majesty!
Qingshi's whole body shook, she remembered this voice, the voice that would ring around her once every five hundred years!
"Your Majesty, this time the chaos between heaven and earth, yin and yang, so that the heavenly demon can get out of the trap. If it weren't for the drastic changes in heaven and earth, she would still be just a bluestone. Even if she took off her stone clothes and cultivated into an immortal body, her spiritual sense had not yet been fully opened, how could she recognize the Heavenly Demon? Although she deserved to be punished, she thought that her cultivation was not easy, and she thought that the punishment of the Heavenly Thunder Body was too heavy!"
The previous voice rumbled down, and there was already anger: "Bold! She swept away the heavenly demons, her sins are unforgivable, and it is a great grace for the heavenly thunder to destroy her body and destroy all the causes and effects of her past and future." You are just a small Quartet Patrol Immortal, how dare you talk nonsense in this hall? Your Majesty, if all these sins can be forgiven, where will the Heavenly Law be placed? Lang Lang Immortal Realm, the immortal in front of the palace, how will you feel?"
At this time, the white clouds in the nine-fold sky suddenly opened, faintly appearing a fairy palace, red walls and golden tiles, white jade railings, purple clouds around the wall, towering. Qingshi suddenly felt a gaze sweeping over her, and that gaze was warm and soft, like a lotus flower brushing her face, which made her panic disappear for a while, and her heart was much more steady.
At this time, there was a voice from the sky, gentle and indifferent, not angry and arrogant: "Qingshi took the heavenly demon, its crime has been clear, according to the law, it should be punished by heavenly thunder and body, and what Da Luo Tianjun said is not inappropriate." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word!" The immortal who patrolled the realm said again: "Qingshi cultivated at this time, took the heavenly demon, and traced its roots, because the minister read the book of heaven, listened to her, and cultivated according to the law. It's a crime of bluestone, and it should be shared by the ministers!"
The Immortal Emperor was silent for a moment, and said, "You have inspected the four realms, and you have made meritorious contributions. Anyway, this is also your fate. Since you are willing to share this sin with her, then you two will be punished to clear the immortal class, enter the turbid world, and suffer the reincarnation of a hundred lifetimes. ”
Hearing the words "retiring from the immortal class" and entering the turbidity world, Qingshi didn't know why, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart. It's just a flower in front of her eyes, and the immortal who has been met once in 500 years has appeared in front of her.
He slowly untied his hair and glazed dragon balls, took off the fairy wind and cloud robe, and dispersed the lotus flowers under his feet, kneeling side by side with her in the center of the main hall.
At this time, in the Nine Heavens, in the depths of the Immortal Palace, the bell rang slowly, sprinkled and scattered.
The green jade on the floor of the main hall suddenly scattered, and the bluestone and the immortal who patrolled the realm fell downward. She only felt that the vast clouds and mist flew by, the wind blew her face like a knife, and in the depths of the clouds and mist, there were all kinds of fierce scenes, and when she was panicking, her hand suddenly warmed, and she was gently held.
This grip has determined the reincarnation of a hundred generations and the fate of thousands of years.
Fang knows the story of the world, the original root, and the good and bad are the antecedents.
