Fellow Daoist Xuandu Tiansi
Wuyunxian carefully looked at the nondescript man wearing green soft armor, and was still confused. In the heaven, except for the gods in the thirty-three layers of the heavenly palace, all the other thirty-six fairy islands, seventy-two blessed lands, ten fairy continents, and scattered fairy mountain monks all wore Taoist robes. Men wore feathered clothes and star-gazing clothes, and women wore colorful clothes. Such a dress is very rare.
Could it be that I haven't been out for five thousand years, and the world has changed? Wuyunxian thought: Xuandutian is the place where Hunyuan Yiqi Daode Tianzun lives. Who is this Taoist fellow?
Seeing that Wuyunxian was still confused, Shen Gongbao came up and whispered a few words. Wuyunxian immediately understood, laughed, pointed at the Taoist Si and said: So it's you.
Taoist Si looked unhappy and said: What's wrong with me? You and I are old acquaintances in the prehistoric world. I didn't expect that after so many years, you don't recognize me.
Wuyunxian said quickly: No, no, I just felt depressed for a long time, so my mind is not very clear. Brother Jinsi is not enjoying the happiness in Xuandu Shengjing, why did he come out?
It turned out that this Taoist Si was the blue bull that Laozi rode, a demon saint who was rampant in the prehistoric world. He knew Wuyunxian a little, but they were not close. Wuquxian knew that he was called Jinsi before, but it was too long, so Wuyunxian couldn't recognize him.
When Jinsi heard Wuyunxian's question, he said: The master of Xuandu closed the door and said that it would take thirty-six years to refine the Daluo Jiuzhuan Jindan, so I took the opportunity to go to the lower world to take a look. Why did Brother Wuyun come out again?
Wuyunxian is an honest man, he can't hide his words, first he talked to Shen Gongbao, then he said, "I'm so lonely. I'll accompany you to the human world. Brother Duobao has become a Buddha now. When Master Xuandu took him to Hangu Pass, he became Sakyamuni Buddha. I haven't seen him since then. I only heard that his Central Saha Pure Land is not inferior to the Western Paradise Pure Land. I'll wait for him to return. I just want to meet him. The human world is filthy, but I don't want to go there.
Shen Gongbao said: Don't rush, Wuyunxian rarely comes down from the thirty-three heavens, it's not too late to play for a while before going to the human world.
Whether it was Jin Si or Wu Yunxian, one was a mount, locked in the cattle pen all day, and the other was a golden-bearded abalone in someone else's pond, and they were not allowed to come out either. They had long been tired of such a life. Once they came out, it was like a bird flying into the forest or a dragon trapped in the sea. They wanted to stay longer, so of course they listened to Shen Gongbao's words.
Wu Yunxian also sat down, and the three of them ate and drank together, toasting each other. From time to time, the boys and girls brought fruits and fine wine, and the flow was endless. Wu Yunxian was secretly surprised and asked Shen Gongbao: You don't have a cave in the heaven, you don't have any disciples, and you have responsibilities. Where did you get the water wine fairy fruit, and these boys serve you?
As for Jin Si, like himself, they all ran away, so of course there would be no boys serving them, so he thought of Shen Gongbao.
Who knew that this time he guessed wrong, Shen Gongbao said: I am the general of water division in the East China Sea. Although I have some free time, I have not recruited disciples. These boys are all disciples of Brother Jin Si.
So that's the case. There are more immortals listening to Laojun's teachings in Xuandu Heaven than cattle hairs, and many of them are founders of sects. But how can this green bull recognize it? There are also many immortals listening to the lectures in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, but I have been in the Bade Pond for many years, and no one has spoken to me, so I don't recognize it. Could it be that this green bull can also change to make friends? Wuyunxian was puzzled, but he didn't ask anymore.
The three of them ate and drank happily for about half an hour, and Jin Si said: They are all fruits, vegetables, and the wine is also vegetarian wine. It's really a simple bird. When I was in the primitive world of the human world, every meal was not without blood.
Wuyunxian didn't say anything, Shen Gongbao smiled and said: Brother Dao wants to eat blood food, but it is hard to find it in the heaven, you have to go to the lower world to get it.
Jin Si said: I was just thinking about going to the lower world to play, and I happened to meet Brother Wuyun. Why don't we go to the lower world together to enjoy blood food, which is worse than being a god in heaven.
Wuyunxian said: Absolutely not, I still have to go back to return the decree. It's fine to wander in the heaven, but going to the lower world will delay the time, and I'm afraid the ancestor will blame me.
That's it, I won't invite you, brother, I'll go to the lower world by myself. Jin Si looked unhappy.
Wuyunxian laughed dryly twice, and felt that the conversation was not going well, so he wanted to leave. Shen Gongbao tried to stop him again and again, but he couldn't, so he let him go.
Shen Gongbao saw that Wuyunxian broke through the gap between the three realms and went to the human world, so he said to Jin Si: Brother Wuyun was also helpless, why did you find him strange?
Jin Si said: I didn't find him strange, I was just unhappy in my heart, but I had other things on my mind.
Shen Gongbao stroked his three long beards and said: So that's how it is. I can roughly guess what Brother Dao is thinking. It must be that the Master Xuandu has only been refining elixirs for thirty-six years, and Brother Dao has only been in the lower world for thirty-six years, so he is unhappy. Thinking back to the time when the demon clan emperor Donghuang Taiyi ruled the prehistoric demon clan, Brother Dao was the general of the emperor's lower world, and he enjoyed blood for three meals a day. How happy that was. Now he is in the Xuandu Tianniu pen, eating grass and vegetarian food, which is really depressing.
Jin Si was even more displeased when he was hit on the heart, but he said: Brother Shen, don't talk nonsense, Xuandu Heaven is a holy realm, ordinary immortals can't enter, let alone listen to the Master's preaching, and since I converted to the Master, I have the honor to hear the moral truth every day, which has benefited a lot, so how can I be depressed.
No, no, I just said it casually, don't be offended, brother. Below me, there are fat cattle and sheep, which were sent by the Dragon King of the East China Sea a few days ago. They are stewed until very soft. There are also some eight treasure delicacies, fresh meat jerky, and the Biling Blood and Meat Wine, which tastes very strong. Brother, follow me down, we will eat and drink happily. The vegetarian wine and fruit are indeed a little lighter.
When Jin Si heard this, he was very happy and said: That will disturb you.
Shen Gongbao said: At least I have to say goodbye to the master.
Jin Si called a girl over and said: Tell your master, I'm leaving first.
Shen Gongbao saw that Jin Si was anxious, and hurriedly said to the girl: Go quickly, go quickly. The girl paused, and saw a sword light like a silk wrapped around her body and went away.
Daoist brother, don't be impatient, lest we be accused of being impolite, the master will be unhappy, and people will laugh at us secretly, so we should report it.
Jin Si nodded and sat down: The golden and silver boy stole the master's magic weapon and got along well with these heavenly Taoists, but I don't want to be with this group of cultivators.
After a while, a sword light came flying and stopped in front of him. It was a boy, but he was very different from the boys and girls around him. He was full of fairy spirit, and three blue lotus flowers appeared faintly on his head. He was a real immortal.
Bliss boy, we are leaving now. Shen Gongbao said.
Bliss boy said: The two Daoists, please stay for a while
Jin Si snorted and didn't answer, as if he was a little unhappy again. Shen Gongbao said: No more, no more. As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Jin Si and went to the lower world. The black tiger saw that his master had run away, and he roared and chased after him.
This is absurd. The Shushan Sect Master did not see me off in person, but actually asked an outsider to come. He did not take me seriously. Jin Si snorted.
This is not their fault. The two Taoist brothers Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao came down from Xuandu Heaven, so they naturally had to accompany me. I guess they could not take care of the Taoist brothers. Shen Gongbao mounted the black tiger and said to Jin Si.
Jin Si was furious when he heard this: "This boy of gold and silver used to make fun of me when he was in Xuandu Heaven. This time, when he saw me coming down and taking the diamond bracelet, he was dissatisfied and deliberately invited me up to show off their wide connections and laughed at me for not knowing anyone. Now he is looking down on me, clearly deliberately bullying me.
Shen Gongbao said: Brother, don't think about such troubles. Come to my mansion. I am going to introduce many like-minded friends to you, especially one of them, who is your acquaintance.
Jin Si asked curiously: Who is my acquaintance?
Shen Gongbao smiled and said: Brother, you don't need to ask more. You will know when you get there.
The two of them went straight down and fell into the East China Sea, and went straight to the mansion of General Fenshui. Shen Gongbao's mansion of General Fenshui was not big, and naturally it was not as magnificent as the Dragon Palace. It covered an area of 70 to 80 acres and was built with corals. It was still a bit splendid. There were several Yakshas guarding the door. When they saw Shen Gongbao coming, they opened the door quickly.
After they sat down in the hall, several beautiful clam girls came out with tea. Shen Gongbao ordered Yaksha to serve wine and meat. Jin Si saw that the meat was indeed extremely plump and fragrant. The wine was also red like blood, fragrant and spicy. He quickly ate and drank, and was very satisfied.
Shen Gongbao accompanied the wine. After three days, Jin Si asked: Brother Dao, where is my acquaintance?
Shen Gongbao smiled and said: Brother Dao, don't worry. I invited guests before, and they will arrive tomorrow. Today I have to report to the Water Deity Star Lord. Brother Dao, please eat and drink first.
Jin Si kept silent. He ate grass every day in Xuandu, and his taste had faded quickly.
Shen Gongbao went out and toured the East China Sea. Seeing that it was getting dark, he went to the heaven and reported to the Water Deity Star Lord.
It is said that there are thirty-six immortal mountains and seventy-two blessed lands in the heaven, with countless real immortals and ten immortal continents. In the Juku Continent, there is the Qiongyao Bifu. On the edge of the continent, there is a vast sea of clouds, which condenses into solid ground. It is really a fairyland. There are sacred trees, magical medicines, rare animals and animals on the island. The continent is more than a thousand miles in radius, with many immortal islands on it, and there are also real immortals practicing. Now there is a fairy mountain in the center of Juku Continent. Between the mountainside, a palace is built, which stands in the air, which is very strange.
The two boys, Jin and Yin, stole Laojun's magic weapon and came down to have fun. For a while, they didn't know where to go. They happened to recognize several immortal friends who were listening to the Tao in Xuandu Heaven. One was an ancient immortal named Ai Zhenzi, and the other several were cultivators who ascended from the human world and became immortals. Then they went down to the world to spread their branches and leaves. The two boys, Jin and Yin, came to visit. Of course, they were treated as guests of honor by the other party, which was very useful.
At this time, in the immortal palace of Jukuzhou, the two boys, Jin and Yin, transformed into Taoists, one Jinjiao Taoist and the other Yinjiao Taoist, sat down at the table, and set up a flowing banquet with fruit and wine. There were several immortals sitting below. The old Taoist at the table, Yinxuyin, had two longevity eyebrows hanging down to his chest, also in white color. He was the founder of Shushan, Changmei Zhenren. The ancient immortal Ai Zhenzi was also accompanying the wine and introducing Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
The boy from Jile turned around and sat down and said: "Brothers, Taoist Jinsi seems unhappy. He doesn't like to attend the banquet even after repeated invitations. What's the matter?
The Taoist Jinjiao sneered twice: It's okay, it's okay, just let him go.
Yinjiao did not mention it again and changed the subject: This time, we two followed the master's order to go to the lower world to enlighten the world, but I don't know where to go.
Changmei Zhenren smiled and said: The lower world is vast and boundless, and the scenery is even better than the heaven. Although I have not been there, I have inherited the Taoist tradition in the lower world and know a little about it. Then, he told the human world in detail, which made Jinjiao and Yinjiao very happy.
There was also an ancient immortal next to him, named Chizhang Zhenren, who told the story of the sword fight in Cangmang Mountain, which made Jinjiao and Yinjiao feel more interested.
There is such a wonderful thing. I only heard that the founder of the Asura Dao Minghe Sect has a very high level of Taoism. How can you deal with it? Jinjiao asked.
The founder of the Minghe Sect was defeated by Sakyamuni and has been sleeping. The Asura Dao is in danger, so my Xuanmen Zhengzong can resist it, but now, I heard that the Minghe has woken up. The magic power is even stronger than before. A few months ago, he fought with the Great Saint of Flower and Fruit Mountain. Although he was injured, he also helped the Fighting Buddha enter Nirvana. This time, in the sword fight on Cangmang Mountain, although the Styx will not fight in person, I am afraid that if he sends a demon, my disciples will not be able to stop him. Therefore, I will refine a few magic weapons with several teachers at the bottom of the back mountain, so that they can be handed over to the disciples to resist the demon.
When Jinjiao and Yinjiao heard the words of Changmei Zhenren, they laughed out loud: We were just worried that there would be no fun down here, and now it's here. Brother Dao, don't panic, the two of us brought a few magic weapons out from Xuandu Heaven. Not to mention the demon, even if the Styx comes in person, he will suffer a great loss.
Changmei Zhenren was immediately overjoyed and said: With the help of the two Taoist brothers, of course there will be no problem. Jinjiao and Yinjiao were very happy and laughed.
Finally, the banquet was over, and Jinjiao and Yinjiao were about to go down to the mortal world. Changmei said: I am refining magic weapons and cannot get away. It is better for fellow Jile to send you down to the mortal world.
Jinjiao and Yinjiao did not care about so much. Without saying a word, they followed Jile boy down to the mortal world. When they arrived in the Cangmang Mountains, the head of Shushan, Miaoyi Zhenren and his wife, hurriedly received them. They played in the morning and evening, and had their own disciples to serve them. Compared with being a boy in Xuandu Heaven, Jinjiao and Yinjiao were not so happy, and they were so happy that they forgot everything.
As soon as Jinjiao and Yinjiao left, the ancient immortal Ai Zhenzi said: Brother Changmei, what are your plans?
Changmei said: We celestial immortals are free and easy, but we cannot ignore the Taoist tradition of our sect. The previous two sword fights were all smooth, but this time I am afraid there will be some trouble. Although the two brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao helped, there are too many variables and we have to make preparations. I am afraid you and I will have to go down to the mortal world.
Ai Zhenzi said: We have not gone down to the mortal world for a thousand years, and it is time to go down and take a look.
The Red Staff Immortal said to Changmei: You want to refine treasures, and you can't split yourself, so I will go there. I had many good friends in the past, and now they are practicing on the fairy islands outside the lower world. There are also the White Eyebrow Zen Master, Tianmeng Zen Master, Zunsheng Zen Master, and Fentuo Master, all of whom are in the Central Saha Pure Land, meditating on Buddhism under the seat of Patriarch Bodhidharma. When the Buddha returns, I will also visit one or two.
Ai Zhenzi said: I was practicing in Yingzhou and Sanmao Zhenjun was a close friend. It is said that Sanmao Zhenjun listened to Yuanshi Tianzun's preaching in Miluo Heaven and cultivated superior merits. He is about to accumulate merits and will surely come out to subdue demons.
Changmei said happily: I trouble you two Taoist brothers. It seems that my Taoist lineage will be promoted in the upper world.
Ai Zhenzi and the Red Staff Immortal laughed: Taoist brothers, don't be too modest. We are all good friends in the world. We have been friends since we were not enlightened. There is no need to be polite.
After the two men finished talking, they turned into two streaks of silk, one went to the lower world, and the other flew far away.
Changmei shouted loudly: Invite old friends to gather in this Juku Island.
A voice came from afar: That's natural.
On the second day, Jin Si met Shen Gongbao and held a banquet with bloody food, good wine and good meat. He knew that the person he invited was not a Taoist from the Xuanmen Sect, but must be a demon king. He was confused: Who is my acquaintance?
After a while, three demon kings came one after another on horseback. Shen Gongbao greeted them at the door. Jin Si also came out and saw three people wearing yellow robes, riding water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts, divine mastiffs, or unicorns.
Jin Si saw the three demon kings and didn't recognize any of them. Suddenly, he saw Shen Gongbao whispering something to the demon king riding the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast. The demon king came forward and said, "Jin Si, do you recognize me?" Then he revealed his true form, a nine-clawed golden dragon, and it was the Great Sage Jiao Demon King of Fuhai.
Jin Si recognized him and said with a smile, "So it's you, the cart driver."
