Yang Jian followed the white crane boy into the Miluo Heaven, where he saw red terraces and pavilions standing in rows, purple air lingering, jade mountains and jade towers, peach gardens in full bloom, strong men sprinkling water, boys weeding, and gods on duty, wandering back and forth between the mountains and forests in groups of three or two, all of them leisurely and carefree.
Let's talk about the palace, Yuanshi Tianzun was giving a lecture on the wonderful way of Hongmeng. This was the ninth day, and it was time to stop the lecture. Tianzun stopped the lecture and said: You will return to the mountains to cultivate your true self in winter, and come back to listen to the teachings next month.
The immortals such as Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, Huanglong Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren hurriedly bowed and said: Respected teacher, the law has been said, and they all left. Tianzun again ordered: Yuding stay.
Yuding Zhenren waited until all the immortals left before asking: What instructions does the head teacher have?
Yuanshi said: You wait aside, I have instructions. Yuding hurriedly stood aside. Yuanshi ordered the boy beside him to go to the harem to get the apricot yellow flag and the magic whip.
The boy obeyed the order and hurried to the harem. He opened the treasure house and saw golden light shining inside. He swept around and saw the apricot yellow flag and the magic whip on the table. There were long-burning incense oil lamps on all sides. The boy was about to take down the two magic weapons when he suddenly saw a red light flashing on the ground. He was moved and squatted down to take a closer look. It turned out that under the table, there was a pill scattered. It was as big as a longan and bright red.
The boy thought: This is not the Pill Hall, how can there be a pill? Look at this pill, it is not an ordinary item. It must be a careless senior brother who pulled it down, but it was a bargain for me. The boy was overjoyed and quickly picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp. This Mirotian is blessed by the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi, and there is absolutely no poison. Every blade of grass and every tree is a treasure of the immortals, not to mention the pills that can resist ten thousand years of hard practice.
As soon as it entered his stomach, a wave of heat rushed up, and the boy felt dizzy. He pushed upwards, and heard a few bangs. The long-burning oil lamp on it fell down and broke into pieces, and the fragrant oil spilled all over the ground. The boy was shocked, but he woke up. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to go back to the palace. He quickly took two magic weapons and quietly left the harem, going straight down to the thirty-third heaven.
When Yu Ding saw that the boy had waited for a long time, he suddenly heard the gods guarding the temple report: the boy broke the long-burning lamp, took the apricot yellow flag to beat the magic whip, and went to the lower world for fear of crime.
Yuanshi said: I will definitely get it. The general brought the magic rope and the magic talisman given by the Heavenly Lord. He rushed from the back world to the lower world for two days before catching up. He threw the magic talisman, caught the boy, tied him up with the magic rope, and brought him into the palace. The boy kept crying for mercy.
Yuanshi ordered the general to send him to reincarnation.
The general obeyed the decree and twisted him out of Xuandu Heaven. The boy begged for mercy again and again. The general said: The decree of the Heavenly Lord, who dares to disobey our acquaintance? I will guarantee you wealth and honor.
After that, he arrived at the underworld and said a few words to King Yama in front of him. King Yama quickly reincarnated the boy into the body of Guiji, who was pregnant for one month in the Tang Dynasty. However, he did not know that the boy had eaten the Fire Dragon Pill, which was given to Yuanshi by the Supreme Lord Lao, but a boy dropped a pill in the treasure house. It was extraordinary. Although the boy did not keep his sanity in reincarnation, his magic power was not lost.
Yuanshi gave the apricot yellow flag of the divine whip to Yu Ding and said: "Go out. If Yang Jian is still waiting in front of the palace, you can release the whip to him; if he leaves, you are not allowed to chase him."
Yu Ding obeyed the order and left the palace.
Two days ago, Yang Jian was enjoying the fairyland of Miluotian. Suddenly, he heard a jade chime. In the purple air in the distance, a green light shone brightly, revealing a palace. Taoist priests retreated from the palace in twos and threes. The white crane boy smiled at Yang Jian and said: "Brother, you came at the right time. It happened that the master stopped talking and the lesson was finished. Otherwise, you would have to wait."
Yang Jian nodded without answering. Seeing the immortals coming out, he quickly stepped aside, not daring to meet them head-on. Suddenly, Huang Long Zhenren looked around and saw Yang Jian holding a child. He couldn't help but wonder: Yang Jian, why are you not in the lower world enjoying the incense, and coming to Miluo Heaven?
Yang Jian replied: I have something to see Master. He looked back again, but he didn't see Yu Ding Zhenren, so he quickly asked: Uncle Master, have you seen my teacher come out?
Huang Long Zhenren said: Just after finishing the homework, we came out, but Brother Yu Ding was kept by the headmaster, and he has something to tell you, just wait a little longer.
Yang Jian said: Disciple knows. Huang Long Zhenren nodded, mounted the crane, flew out of Miluo Heaven, and went straight to his cave mansion in the lower world to practice. Yuanshi Tianzun preached once a month, for nine days each time. The rest of the time, the disciples returned to their caves, practiced Taoism, and refined the golden elixir.
After a while, when all the immortals had dispersed, the Jade Tripod still hadn't come out. Yang Jian couldn't help but feel anxious and fidgeted. The White Crane Boy said, "Brother, please sit down. I have things to do and can't keep you company for long."
Yang Jian said, "No need to keep me company. I'll wait alone." The White Crane Boy excused himself and went to do his work.
Zhang Ziran was snoring and obviously impatient, and fell asleep. Yang Jian sat on a red stone and waited for dozens of hours. He saw that the duty generals had changed several shifts. Zhang Ziran was unusually honest. He slept and woke up, woke up and slept again, but he was just hungry. Yang Jian had no choice but to walk up and ask the boy who was watching the peach garden for a big peach. Zhang Ziran ate it and stopped shouting. There was nothing wrong at the moment.
After waiting for several more hours, although Yang Jian was patient, he was thinking: The teacher was listening to the master's teachings in the palace, and he didn't come out for a long time. I was afraid that he had entered a state of meditation. Usually, it takes a few months or hundreds of years to enter a state of meditation. Should I wait here all the time? It would be better to go back to Guanjiangkou first, so that the mother and son can meet, and then ask my cousin to ask for an audience with the three holy emperors Shennong, Fuxi and Xuanyuan. The three holy emperors are the most compassionate, not to mention that I had also gone there to ask for medicine in the past, so I was able to meet them.
Originally, I came to ask Jade Ding Zhenren for the secret of heaven, but I didn't know that he didn't come out for a long time. Yang Jian had no choice but to ask again tomorrow.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Ziran woke up and stretched out his chubby little hand and said: Uncle, I'm hungry again, I want to eat peaches. Yang Jian went to ask for it again, and the boy who was watching the garden said with embarrassment: Senior brother, you also know that there are several fields of fruits in this peach garden. Every day, she counts the peaches. I can only pick one a day. I gave the one to my senior brother. If I pick another one, I will be punished.
Yang Jian had no choice but to turn back. Zhang Ziran saw that Yang Jian did not bring back any peaches, so he couldn't help but pout and kick his legs and cry. Yang Jian was flustered by this cry.
Don't cry, don't cry, uncle will take you down to eat big peaches, which are redder, bigger, and more delicious than the ones just now. Yang Jian said hurriedly.
Zhang Ziran stopped crying when he heard it, and asked Yang Jian: Is it better than the master's ginseng fruit? When Yang Jian heard it, he was speechless. He picked up Zhang Ziran and left Miluo Heaven, went down to the thirty-three days, and went to Guanjiangkou.
After Yang Jian left for a while, an immortal hurried out of the palace, holding a whip in one hand and a small triangular flag in the other. The whip was a magic whip, and the flag was a middle apricot yellow flag. This immortal was Yang Jian who had been waiting for Yu Ding for a long time.
Yu Ding Zhenren hurried out, but did not see Yang Jian, so he hurriedly asked the god on duty: Has my disciple been here?
The god replied: He just waited here for two days. Now he is gone.
Yu Ding Zhenren was shocked, shook his head and sighed, and finally turned back to the palace. When he came to the Nine Dragon Bed, he saw Yuanshi Tianzun sitting upright. He hurriedly bowed and said: My disciple has left, and I will return to the palace to submit the decree.
After that, he presented the apricot yellow flag and the magic whip. Yuanshi still asked the boy to take them, and then told Yu Ding: You go back to cultivate your true self, and come back a month later to listen to the lecture.
Yu Ding hurriedly took his leave, and there was no word in Mirotian for a while.
Yang Jian descended thirty-three days and carried Zhang Ziran to the heaven. Zhang Ziran cried out that he was hungry, so Yang Jian quickly landed next to the Milky Way and saw many islands, some a thousand miles wide and some a hundred miles wide. There were many fairy fruits on the islands, which were not as good as the peaches in the Miro Heaven and Earth, but they were enough to beat Zhang Ziran.
Yang Jian opened his divine eyes and saw that there were many fire dates on the nearest island, each of which was the size of a fist. He quickly flew over and was about to pick them, but a man came out from behind the fire date tree and shouted softly: "Where did you come from, little thief, to steal the fire dates I planted?"
Yang Jian looked at her carefully, and his eyes lit up. It was a stunning female fairy, wearing a white gauze dress, revealing a pair of crystal-clear round jade feet, with a jet-black hair floating behind her head, gently tied with a fiery red silk ribbon, and no ornaments on her head, which made her look more pure, like the water of the Milky Way. Yang Jian saw that she was more beautiful than Chang'e.
The child was hungry, so I picked some dates with him, but I disturbed the female fairy. Yang Jian had not come to the heaven for a long time because of the Jade Emperor, but he also knew that the heaven was vast and infinite, and there were countless celestial beings who were practicing in it. He must have come to the place where others practiced.
When the woman in white saw Zhang Ziran, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay. After that, she picked a fire date from the tree and handed it to Yang Jian. She also teased Zhang Ziran.
Zhang Ziran laughed foolishly and didn't eat the fire date. He opened his hands and asked the fairy to hold him.
The fairy seemed to like Zhang Ziran very much. She teased him for a while and stretched out her hand. Yang Jian saw that the fairy was very beautiful, which was rare in the Three Realms. She was also full of fairy spirit. In addition, she gave him fire dates, so he didn't care and relaxed a little, letting the child struggle out. Seeing that the fairy was about to touch the child, he was suddenly shocked: After all, she was an outsider, how could she let the child be with her
Just as he was about to take Zhang Ziran back, he suddenly saw the fairy's face sank, and he knew it was not good. Then he saw a flash of black light, and a sickle came down from the air, with deep cold air and piercing cold. Yang Jian, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was not panicked. He was confident that he had the Nine Mysterious Skills to protect himself and was not hurt by swords and weapons. He freed one hand to block it, and took Zhang Ziran with the other hand, pulled hard, and chanted a spell at the same time, and sacrificed the Howling Sky Dog.
There was a crackling sound, Yang Jian roared, and his left arm was hit by a sickle, his sleeve was shattered, blood and flesh flew everywhere, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art was actually broken, and the knife was stuck in the bone.
This woman was none other than Xigua, who was originally wandering in the heavens. Suddenly, she saw Yang Jian holding a child from the thirty-third day, and she kept her attention. Yang Jian was famous, Xigua naturally recognized him, and had once thought of competing with him, but Yang Jian did not recognize her.
Xigua wanted to make things difficult for Yang Jian, so she pretended to be a female fairy. After a calculation, she knew that Yang Jian was going to pick fire dates, so she hid behind the tree in advance. Yang Jian was not as good as Xigua, so how could he have discovered it in advance.
When she saw Zhang Ziran, she felt that this child was simply good, especially as if he had the aura of Shura. After trying it herself, it was indeed true, so she wanted to snatch it, but was discovered by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was hit by a knife and was shocked. He immediately shook, endured the pain, and pulled out his hand with a snap. Watermelon twisted it, breaking several bones in Yang Jian's hand. He groaned again, and his other hand loosened, and was snatched away by Watermelon. With a wave of his hand, Zhang Ziran's eyes went dark and he passed out.
Yang Jian's whole body was almost indestructible, but Watermelon's sickle was an innate spiritual treasure. It was immediately damaged after the exchange of blows. Fortunately, the bones were hard. It would take a lot of effort for Watermelon to cut off his hand.
It was said that Watermelon succeeded in one move, and he was proud of it. He shouted in a delicate voice: I have heard of the reputation of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun for a long time, but today I see that it seems to be exaggerated.
Before the words fell, Watermelon screamed, but it was Xiaotian Dog who appeared from behind and bit him. It tore off most of Watermelon's white gauze clothes, which drooped down and fluttered in the wind. Both layers of gauze clothes were bitten, revealing the smooth skin on the back.
Xiaotian Dog bit his shoulder again. A large piece of skin and flesh was torn off, and blood was dripping. Xigua screamed in pain, waved his hand, and chopped back with the sickle. Seeing that his master was injured, Xiaotian Dog dared not take it head-on, and quickly dispersed. Yang Jian endured the pain and swept across with a three-pointed two-edged knife in one hand to grab Zhang Ziran.
Xigua only had a bellyband on his upper body, no clothes on his back, and his shoulder was painful, and a piece of meat was missing. Only then did he realize how powerful Yang Jian was. He wanted to fight, but it was not very elegant after all. Seeing his miserable appearance, his face flushed, gritted his teeth, and raised the sickle. There was a black light and ghostly howling. Yang Jian fought with the three-pointed two-edged knife, aimed at the flaw, knocked the sickle away, rushed in, and chopped it on the head.
Xigua had no intention of fighting, and resisted for two or three rounds. He took out the Shura flag and shook it. Black lotuses appeared above his head. Yang Jian chopped the black lotus with a knife, but was blocked and could not chop it down. With this delay, Xigua flew to the lower world. Yang Jian would not let her run away, and immediately turned into golden light and caught up.
The two chased and fled, and half an hour later, they entered the underworld, and saw the continuous Yinshan Mountains, vast grasslands, and boundless sea of blood in the distance. Xigua jumped into the sea of blood. Seeing this, Yang Jian did not dare to go down, so he had to give up, feeling very unhappy. After thinking about it, there was really no way, so he had to go to the Pure Land of Saha. Since it was taken away by someone in the Nether Blood Sea, he had to ask Tathagata to deal with the Styx Patriarch.
After a month, Zhou Qing taught his daughter's homework in the mountain gate, and they were happy and didn't care about anything. The Lotus Sutra Conference had ended, and the saints returned to the cave.
Yang Jian asked Tathagata for help, but Tathagata said: There are many variables in this matter. It is destined to happen. It is not easy for me to take action. The Styx has great magical powers. Now I can't do anything.
Yang Jian knew that Tathagata was evading him, and he was unhappy. He was about to leave and think of another way. The Tathagata of the Sun hurriedly stopped Yang Jian and said: There is a sword fight in Cangmang Mountain in the Southern Continent. It is a duel between good and evil. There are many powerful people who have never appeared in the world. You can pay attention with the princesses. Maybe you can find an opportunity.
Yang Jian nodded and left. There was nothing to do at the moment.
Daddy, what magic weapon are you going to give me today? Zhou Zhu used his hands to command three magic weapons in the sky to fly around, rolling up the golden green light tower. The green one is the Jade Blade, and the gold one is the Nine Ring Zen Staff and the Miedu Golden Ring. In comparison, the Jade Blade is made by mixing the essence of Yimu with the essence of Dayan Gold. Zhou Zhu can use it easily.
The Nine-ring Zen Staff and the Golden Ring of Destroying Crossing were powerful, but they were Buddhist instruments, and Zhou Zhu could not wield them. After Zhou Qing refined them with great effort, they were given to Zhou Zhu again. They were even more useful than before, but they consumed a lot of mana.
After operating them for dozens of times, Zhou Zhu felt that his mana was insufficient and he was a little out of breath. He quickly put away the magic weapon, jumped in front of his father, and asked with a smile.
Zhou Qing scratched his daughter's nose and said: Your mana is still shallow, and you can't use some spells and magic weapons.
Zhou Zhu nodded and said: Listen to Daddy, anyway, my daughter will follow Daddy and Mom for the rest of her life, and she won't go out, and she doesn't want magic weapons.
Zhou Qing smiled and said: Daddy prepared a magic weapon for you before, but it was not refined. I will give it to you when your mana is deep.
Zhou Zhu said: Daddy, I have been practicing hard for the past month. If you don't believe me, just look. After that, he paused slightly, and a stream of green air emerged from the Nigong Pill, fell to the ground, and transformed into a baby girl less than three feet tall. Her facial features were the same as Zhou Zhu's. She jumped and clapped her hands and said: Daddy, I refined my Yuanshen into Yuanying yesterday. In a few years, it will be the same size as me.
Zhou Qing hurriedly said: Your Yuanying was only condensed yesterday, and your power is not stable yet. You can't blow the wind for a long time. Go back quickly.
Little Zhou Zhu on the ground walked around twice, stuck out his tongue at Zhou Qing, laughed, and finally entered the flesh reluctantly.
In a blink of an eye, winter went to spring, spring came to summer, and the sun was really blazing, drying up the rivers and withering the grass. Zhou Qing's physical body had returned from the Lotus Sutra Assembly long ago, and the twelve incarnations had disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where they had gone. Yang Jian did not send Zhang Ziran back either, but Zhou Qing did not seem to care. The Jade Emperor did not stop providing the sun, moon and starlight, and it was still in sufficient supply.
