Chapter 88 Nine Lanterns
Almost at the same time that Liang Yan fainted, he was on a fairy mountain somewhere thousands of miles away in the Kingdom of Zhao.
Colorful clouds are floating here, surrounded by cranes. The Qionglou Fairy Pavilion is hidden in the white clouds, and the pines and strange rocks grow on the cliffs.
Halfway up the mountain, there is even more fairy music playing, which purifies people's hearts. It is a fairyland on earth, unlike the mundane world.
This fairy mountain is surprisingly high. The foot of the mountain alone is covered with white clouds, and the peak reaches straight into the sky. From a distance, it looks like a stone pillar supporting the heaven and earth.
On the top of such a high mountain, there is not a single human figure. But there are nine white jade pavilions, each with an oil lamp on a stone table.
These oil lamps have different shapes. Some have six lotus leaves under the lamp base, some are like secular oil paper lanterns, and some have turtle shells and inscriptions engraved on the lamp body. What's more, it actually looks like a sword, with only a little candle burning at the tip of the sword, and so on, which is really strange.
Most of these oil lamps are burning quietly on their respective stone tables, with the exception of one. It is shaped like a white jade disk, with a candle in the middle flickering on and off, as if a candle is left in the wind, and it may burn at any time. extinguished.
In the middle of the nine white jade pavilions, there is a small pond with nine wooden signs floating in the sky and a lotus floating in the middle of the pond.
At this time, a black light rushed from mid-air. It was on the horizon at first, and reached the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye. The black light fell directly in the middle of the nine white jade pavilions, and then the black light dispersed, revealing the appearance of the person.
This man was dressed in black robes and had a dull face. He looked like a secular centenarian. It's just that the light in his eyes is flowing, and he doesn't look old at all.
The black-robed old man was holding an infant baby in his hands. The baby's face was ruddy, in sharp contrast to the old man. The strangest thing was that such a small baby didn't cry or fuss. He just looked at the old man with his big and beautiful eyes, seemingly curious.
The black-robed old man walked to the pond in the middle of the nine pavilions and raised his hand. The baby floated up and slowly landed on the lotus in the pond.
After placing the baby, he raised his hand and fired seven magic spells, shooting at seven of the nine wooden signs above the pond. Then he said in a deep voice: "Respectfully greetings, brothers and sisters!"
As soon as he said this, he stood quietly and waited. After a while, an oil lamp suddenly rose from the white jade pavilion, slowly Flying slowly into the air.
There are six lotus leaves on the base of the oil lamp, which looks extraordinary. At this time, he was slowly spinning in the air, and he actually said: "Well done. Junior Brother Zangxuan has done a great job in finding the reincarnation of Junior Brother Biyou."
As if in response, the following followed. An oil lamp flew out from the white jade pavilion. In the blink of an eye, there were five oil lamps floating in the air, only four of which were still in place.
One of the lanterns, which was shaped like an oil paper lantern in the secular world, slowly spoke at this moment:
“I teach three thousand disciples of the same generation, and only a few of them are willing to practice the Taiyi Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra. Thirty people, and among these thirty people only Junior Brother Biyou is close to achieving great success. Now Biyou has been reincarnated for five lives, and he only needs this last life to achieve perfection."
As soon as the oil paper lantern finished speaking, an oil lamp shaped like a scroll spoke again. Road:
"There is a deficiency in the way of heaven. Senior Brother Zangxuan once said that his life was shortened and he divined. The deficiency in the way of heaven is the change of reincarnation. Junior Brother Biyou made great ambitions, overcome all difficulties, went through hardships and dangers, and compiled the Taiyi Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra in order to make up for the loopholes in the way of heaven. This is There is no such thing as a good deed, so we should help each other." The speaker was a woman, her voice was clear and clear, and her tone was not slow or slow.
"In that case." The oil lamp with lotus leaves growing on it shouted:
"Clean the essence and cut the marrow, beat the turbidity and raise the clear!"
I saw only a green light. The response came from the lotus leaf oil lamp and hit the baby on the lotus. Clear light flowed around the baby, and after a moment, he slowly exhaled a puff of black air from his mouth. As this black energy was exhaled, his skin became crystal clear, as white as jade, and there was a faint spiritual energy overflowing.
The stench of the black air was unbearable. The black-robed old man flicked his sleeves and dispersed the black air into the world.
"Use the sword as bone, and the demons will retreat!"
Another voice came, but it came from the oil lamp shaped like a sharp sword. It had been silent and silent before, but now it suddenly made a sound, and saw a ray of silvery-white light radiating from the oil lamp, heading straight towards the baby's Tianling Cap.
The baby was so frightened that his eyes closed, and his whole body was enveloped in silvery white light. After half a stick of incense, he slowly retreated.
After the sword oil lamp emitted this ray of light, it returned to calm and never said a word again.
"Two senior brothers, Zhuyu is in front, and the book lamp can only show its embarrassment in the back." The scroll oil lamp slowly floated over, and he shouted softly:
"Unparalleled intelligence, seven exquisite orifices!"
I saw a pink light coming from the scroll oil lamp and hitting the baby directly. When the baby was illuminated by this lamp, his body was filled with fragrance and his eyes were filled with spiritual light.
As these three magical powers acted on the baby, the flame on the white jade oil lamp that was flickering on and off among the nine oil lamps and seemed to be about to go out gradually started to light up, although it was not as bright as the other eight lamps. The lights were strong, but already a lot brighter.
"You are good, cleanse the essence and cut the marrow, reshape the bones, and enlighten the spiritual platform. We have done our best, and the rest is up to Junior Brother Biyou." The black-robed old Taoist said with an expressionless face. With a wave of his hand, the baby turned into a streak of green light and flew down the mountain on its own.
"There was no problem in the first fifty years, right?" the oil paper lantern on the side suddenly asked.
"Junior Brother Zangxuan is known as the 'Sanzang Xuan Lamp'. You don't have to doubt his predictions." The lotus leaf oil lamp said through the interface.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I have already calculated the fifty years before Biyou. Although there were twists and turns, there were no disasters. As for what will happen after fifty years, it is not for me to interfere." The old man in black robe He said expressionlessly.
The oil-paper lantern was silent for a while, and seemed to be helpless when he said: "This can only depend on his own luck."
After hearing this, everyone became silent for a while.
After a long while, the old man in black robe suddenly spoke again: "Actually, I summoned all the senior fellow apprentices to come here today. In addition to the matter of Junior Brother Biyou, there is another important matter."
< br>
"Oh? Tell me!"
The oil lamps in the air seem to know the personality of this black-robed old man. He usually doesn't speak lightly, and what he says must be a secret. Now when I heard him say something else, I couldn't help but become serious. "In the land of Nanchui, the heavenly secrets have changed, and there is fear that heretics and demons will cause chaos."
"Nancui?!" Shujuan Oil Lamp said in surprise: "The remote places of Nanchui are mostly secular. Even though thousands of years have passed, there has been no change in luck. How could there be a time of evil and chaos? "
The old man in black robe lowered his eyebrows, his face not changing at all.
"The secret of heaven is so unpredictable."
Shujuan Oil Lamp asked again: "Is it possible to calculate the specific location of Nanchui?"
"It is in the five countries of Xu, Wu, Yan, Yue and Zhao. Between countries." The black-robed old man replied.
"Since it can arouse Junior Brother Zangxuan's perception, it can be seen that this evil calamity is extraordinary. If we stand aside and watch, I am afraid that Nanchui will destroy all lives." The oil paper lantern said.
"From now on, the journey to Nanchui is immeasurably dangerous. Even with my level of cultivation, it will take decades. Dear brothers and sisters, is there anyone near Nanchui?" The black-robed old man frowned. asked.
"Senior Brother Lianhua is the only person among us who is closest to Nanchui. I wonder how long it will take for Senior Brother Lianhua to arrive at Nanchui?"
"It will take at least fifty years." Lianye Oil Lamp replied.
"Fifty years! It's too slow. This disaster will happen in twenty years at most." The black-robed old man shook his head and sighed.
"This" everyone was silent for a moment.
Suddenly a voice said with an embarrassed smile: "Did you senior fellow apprentices forget that there are junior fellow apprentices here?"
What made this sound was a strange oil lamp, which was shaped like a broken wine gourd. There was a gap in the wall of the gourd, and a little light ignited from there.
Shujuan Oil Lamp immediately responded: "Junior Brother Sanxiao, don't be ridiculous. This matter concerns thousands of lives in Nanchui and is not a trivial matter."
The broken wine gourd chuckled and said nothing. Angry, he continued: "Junior brother, I happen to be near Nanchui. It only takes about ten years to get there. I don't think any of you senior brothers are more suitable for this task than me, right?"
As soon as he said this, There was a sudden silence in the field.
After a long while, the lotus leaf oil lamp finally broke the silence and slowly said: "Since none of you can rush to Nanchui, as the saying goes, the matter is urgent, let's leave it to Junior Brother Sanxiao to handle it this time. .”
"It's your order!"
The gourd oil lamp said seriously.
The Lotus Leaf Oil Lamp paused, and then said seriously: "Junior Brother Sanxiao, it affects thousands of creatures in Nanchui. You must control your temper and never be careless."
After the lotus leaf oil lamp finished speaking, everyone waited quietly for the gourd oil lamp's reply. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no reply.
The black-robed old man suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to cast a spell.
I saw waves of ripples appearing in the mid-air where the gourd oil lamp was, and then the entire background and sky fell gently like a piece of oil paper.
Behind the oil paper, the real gourd oil lamp has fallen back on the stone table of the white jade pavilion, apparently disconnected from everyone.
Seeing this, the other four oil lamps in mid-air couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. The scroll oil lamp was even more angry and spat:
"What a lazy old man!"< br>
The Lotus Leaf Oil Lamp coughed and said slowly: "Now that the matter has come to this, I can only trust Junior Brother Sanxiao. We all have important matters, so this meeting will end here."
As soon as he said this, the sharp sword and oil lamp were the first to fall back into the white jade pavilion. Seeing this, the remaining oil lamps fell back into their respective white jade pavilions one after another.
On the top of the huge mountain, it was quiet again. All the lanterns have returned to their positions, but one is still in the air, it is the oil paper lantern, and the black-robed old man has not left either.
"Why doesn't Junior Brother Zangxuan leave? Is there something on his mind?" Oil Paper Lantern asked.
The old man in black robe did not answer, but just put his hands behind his back and looked towards the south worriedly.
"Junior brother, are you worried about Nan Chui's calamity? In fact, you can rest assured. Although junior brother Sanxiao likes games and is known as the "drunken lamp in the world of drama", on the key issues of right and wrong, he is Extremely reliable. Besides, the area in Nanchui is short of spiritual energy and has limited resources. Even if there are evil spirits from the outside world, Junior Brother Sanxiao can handle it."
After hearing this, the old Taoist in black robe did not reduce the worry in his eyebrows. He still looked thoughtful. After a while, he slowly said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
He looked up again as he spoke Heaven, sighed and said:
"If a person becomes a demon, the world will be turned upside down"
