I am a fairy

Chapter 122 Immortal Palace and Signal Tower
Dusk and night intertwine.

The shaman walked through the quiet bamboo forest holding an incense burner in his hand. He was wearing a simple white robe and carrying a phoenix-headed harp on his back.

That's it.

Walking towards the mountain.

Since he put on the God's Seal, the Divine Wizard has rarely met Yun Zhongjun face to face. He has been communicating more at the "soul" level through the God's Seal.

The sky was completely dark, and the witch arrived at the place where he first met Yun Zhongjun.

"It's here."

Smoke and mist flowed down the hot spring and lifted her skirt.

She did not wear the mask of a god, and was now just a witch in the human world.

The shaman sat under a tree, his fingertips plucked the strings of a zither, and the sound of music spread far away. The sun and moon pendants under his temples swayed gently, as if they were also moved by the music.

The piece Shenwu played this time was still "Shenren Chang".

It seemed as if this was also a ceremony to welcome the gods, playing the songs of ancient gods and men to welcome the immortals and saints coming from the clouds.

Stop singing.

Not far away, a light suddenly appeared on the cliff.

It was not an ordinary light, but a clear, white light like the moon. You could tell it was not wrong at first glance.

The light stretched out in the darkness, as if guiding the wizard forward.

"That's over there."

Of course the witch knew what that place was. She had been there before leaving the sacred peak. It seemed that the place was once the Beppu fairy palace built by the four gods for Yun Zhongjun on earth.

But Yun Zhongjun didn't like it and once said that if the witch returned successfully, he would give her the Beppu Fairy Palace.

now.

She had completed the things that Yun Zhongjun had asked her to do, but the matter of Longdi was not yet finished.

The wizard stood up and walked over there.

On the steep cliff, the disappearing pier continued to emerge as she approached, and under the moonlight it seemed to have turned into a road leading to the fairyland.

She didn't know that she already had the permission to pass through here.

She stepped carefully across the trestle bridge. The lights in the distance became clearer and clearer. As they passed around the cliff, she finally saw the fairy palace built on the cliff.

Under the palace, stood a figure wearing a divine robe with cloud patterns.

The shaman stepped forward, put the incense burner and phoenix harp aside, and knelt down to pay his respects.

"God Lord."

"Lingzi is here."

Just like last time, Yun Zhongjun was still looking at the steep Bijia Stone Peak in front of him that was connected to the Divine Peak.

The bottom of the Pen Holder Stone Peak was connected to the Divine Peak, and it split into two at a high place. She still remembered the last time the Divine Witch came, Yun Zhongjun pointed to the top of the stone peak and asked.

"What do you think of building a tower on it?"

The wizard couldn't imagine at that time how to build a tower in such a remote place.

She remembered answering it herself.

“That must be a tower that can reach the stars.”

"But even if there is a tower on the top of the mountain, it is not something that mortals can climb up to, right?"

"In this world, only immortals and gods can fly to the sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain."

However, at this moment, there were iron chains under Yun Zhongjun's feet connecting to the Bijia Stone Peak in the distance.

Yun Zhongjun looked back at the witch, then walked towards the cliff in front.

The wizard was shocked when he saw this and immediately stood up and shouted.

"God Lord!"

The wizard just shouted out reflexively, but after he shouted it out, he realized that the person in front of him was a god in the clouds.

Just as the wizard had imagined, after Yun Zhongjun stepped off the cliff, he stood directly in "mid-air".

However, after a closer look, I found that

It turned out that a cable bridge was built in the void at some unknown time.

The bridge is the same as the plank road. It does not appear at ordinary times. It will only be unfolded when the "immortals and gods" appear. The planks between the iron chains will then automatically extend to the opposite side one by one.

While the wizard was staring at the bridge in a daze, Yun Zhongjun had already walked a long way along it.

See this.

The wizard also stepped onto the bridge and walked towards the other side.

Between the two peaks under the moon, Yun Zhongjun walked along the bridge towards the Bijia Stone Peak in the darkness, with the witch following closely behind him.
The wizard had never walked such a road before, it felt like he was walking in the air.

Before they knew it, the wizard had followed Yun Zhongjun to the other side, on a protruding rock on the Bijia Stone Peak.

Divine Witch: "My Lord, are you going up?"

Yun Zhongjun: “Yes.”

The wizard said: "But how do I get up here? I can't fly."

Yun Zhongjun: "Follow me."

Yun Zhongjun led the wizard into a semicircular glass cover attached to the rock wall. After entering, Yun Zhongjun turned the metal handle on the right, and then he saw the glass cover rising continuously along the rock wall.

The wizard was so frightened that his legs went weak, because everything above, below, left and right was transparent. It was not like walking in the air, but like floating in the sky.

She looked down and could clearly see the abyss below.

Getting farther and farther away.

And she rose higher and higher.

She kept rising like this as if there was no end, until the glass cover slowly stopped and the back opened.

The wizard turned his head and looked back, and found a secret building that was similar to the fairy building and divine palace.

This is a nine-story stone tower.

At the top of the stone peak is a barren open space like a square. There is no tree growing here, and the stone tower stands in the center of the open space.

This angle cannot be seen at all from the bottom of the mountain, and no one knows that there is such a mysterious building on the top of Bijia Peak.

It remains here alone, isolated from the world.

This is the quiet and mysterious place that belongs only to Yun Zhongjun.

Divine wizard: "There is a tower here."

Every time the Divine Wizard and Yun Zhongjun met, they felt as if they had seen a different side of this world.

Even though it was this sacred peak, this Yunbi Mountain, she had clearly always lived here, but after following Yun Zhongjun, she realized that she had never known this place before.

Yun Zhongjun walked into the tower, and the wizard discovered that there was a stone statue in the tower.

Divine Witch: “What is this?”

Yun Zhongjun: "This is the mountain god."

This mountain god stone tower is a signal tower with a similar function to a community temple. However, compared with community temples and base stations in other places, this one is much more important.

Because this place is connected to the Huangquan Base, which is the storage center and source of all important data.

Of course, in addition to this it is also a weather station.

Moreover, compared with previous weather stations, it can provide more accurate data and forecast the weather more accurately.

Yun Zhongjun climbed up the stone tower step by step, looked at the device that collected meteorological data, and spoke.

Yun Zhongjun: "The Dragon Dike will be completed before the rainy season arrives completely."

Divine witch: "This way, Lingzi will feel at ease."

Yun Zhongjun: "Then why did you return in such a panic and with such an uneasy mood?"

Divine witch: "Because of the emperor's decree."

The witch finally told her inner panic. She came back in a hurry to see Yun Zhongjun and asked this question.

Yun Zhongjun: "So what?"

Divine Wizard: "To the Divine Lord, the so-called Son of Heaven is just a mortal, but the Spirit Son is also just a mortal. If... I am worried that it will bring disaster."

Yun Zhongjun: "Do you remember what I said to you in the past?"

The witch: "I am your moon in the well and your shadow in the water."

Yun Zhongjun: "The human world is this well, and the human world is the water in the lake. The moon in the well and the reflection in the water, are they real or fake to the well and the lake?"

"You are me in the world, and all you have to do is act according to your heart."

"As long as you do the right thing, you will naturally feel at ease."

"As for the rest."

"Whether it's the emperor or anyone else, what does it have to do with you?"

Although they said so, the wizard was still worried about what would happen if the emperor became angry and caused a disaster.

She was not worried about herself, nor was she worried about Yun Zhongjun. She knew that even the emperor could not do anything about it, but what about the people here?
Yun Zhongjun walked up the stairs of the mountain god's stone tower. The witch looked up from below and his figure seemed to merge with the stars high in the sky, becoming increasingly blurry and hazy.

When the witch heard the voice, her worries were relieved.

"If you are a mortal in their eyes, they will naturally constrain you with laws and threaten you with what you care about."

"If you were a god, all the shackles of this mortal world would be nothing but illusions to you."

The wizard understood, especially at this time.

The tougher she acted, the stronger her attitude became, whether it was the Prince of Lucheng, the eunuch carrying the imperial edict, or even the emperor behind her.

They would also be afraid of her and dare not take any action.

On the contrary, if she gives in step by step or shows the slightest weakness, that is when disaster will come.

Divine Witch: "Lingzi knows."

Finally, Yun Zhongjun's voice came from above.

"But, are you really ready to get involved in the disputes of this human dynasty?"
-
Late at night.

The glass lamp in the witch's hand flickered, as if reminding her that her magic power was insufficient.

She held the lamp and entered the fairy palace alone this time.

"Di Di!"

She raised her hand and pressed on the door like Yun Zhongjun did. After two beeps, the door opened automatically.

After the door opens.

The glazed lamps inside illuminated the palace brightly, and the wooden pillars in the wide hall cast long slanted shadows.

Passing through the two-meter-high mountain and flowing spring in the center of the hall, the wizard walked under a pillar.

Standing in front of the painted pottery statue of a boy, she stuck the glass lamp on the pillar.

"Is that all?"

The wizard looked at it for a long time without much confidence.

Finally, she saw the light on the lamppost change.

That was a sign that "mana power" was pouring into it, and I felt relieved.

Passing through the pillars and stone carvings, and passing through layer upon layer of stone screens, the first layer is a sea of ​​clouds, the second layer has immortals driving divine chariots descending from the sea of ​​clouds, and the third layer depicts immortal officials, divine clerks, young boys and girls, and white cranes and phoenixes accompanying them.

Passing through these layers of stone screens gives one a feeling of stepping from the human world into a fairyland.

At the end of the stone screen is a high platform with dozens of stone steps leading up.

The shaman climbed onto the platform, carefully walked around it several times, touched the tripod, and then lit incense on it.

He took out the god's mask and pressed it into the socket on the wall. The god's mask also needed to replenish its "mana".

Sniffing the fragrance from the tripod, she finally sat on the stone couch. From this moment on.

This place belongs to her.

According to Yun Zhongjun, this was a reward for what she had accomplished during her trip to Lucheng.

And when she sat in this fairy palace, she really felt like a fairy.

In tranquility.

There is a cool breeze blowing from high above, dispelling all the summer heat.

Her heart began to calm down, and she started to recall what Yun Zhongjun had just said to her.

She already knew what to do. No matter what changes happened in the outside world, all her honor and disgrace and her magical powers came from Yun Zhongjun.

And her duties have never changed from beginning to end. She is a divine witch, a witch who plays the role of Yun Zhongjun.

Let everyone know that Yun Zhongjun is a "righteous god" wizard.

However, Yun Zhongjun said to her at the end.

"Are you really ready to get involved in the gossips of this world?"

During this period of time, the people she came into contact with and faced were constantly changing.

At the beginning, there were county magistrates, Taoist priests, and common people.

Later, it was Sima, Prince and various powerful people.

And now, he is the emperor's messenger.

As the situation progresses, the right and wrong she faces are constantly changing, and the difficulty she faces is completely different.

From a county to a county and a state.

From now on, she will have to face this world and all kinds of situations that she has never seen or even heard of.

In this situation, can she still play the role of Yun Zhongjun well?
The wizard raised his head.

Look at the mask hanging on the wall.

"no matter what."

"I still want to do this well and let everyone know what kind of god Yun Zhongjun is."
-
Deer City.

Although there were some problems when the eunuch Ma Fu came to announce the imperial edict, it was the first time that Ma Fu had encountered such a situation that someone dared not accept the imperial edict, and he was stuck here, unable to go up or down.

He couldn't deal with the witch in the name of disobeying the imperial order. Even Prince Wen Ji didn't dare to do so and kept shaking his head and waving his hands.

But it is not possible to go back like this, as he came here on the emperor's orders.

Now, Ma Fu felt like he was in trouble.

He did not lose his temper, but immediately began to investigate matters related to Yun Zhongjun and the witch.

Ma Fu had just come from the capital, and all he knew were the things written in the auspicious reports, which were limited to Xihe County.

However, things have changed dramatically these days, and the witch's footprints have covered Xihe, Jingu and Lucheng.

Although the things that happened in Xihe County were miraculous, they were also shocking enough to be unbelievable.

but.

All this seemed insignificant compared to what happened later.

Ma Fu and his eunuchs gathered in a mansion in the city to discuss the matter.

Ma Fu started the conversation first: "Now, the auspicious signs can be confirmed to be true. The ancient deity of Chu, Yun Zhongjun, has really appeared. Although we have encountered some problems at present, since it is true, we are not afraid of problems, right?"

The middle-aged eunuch looked around and nodded: "That's right, that's right. We came here because we were afraid it was a false auspicious sign and we would fail His Majesty's expectations. Since it's real, why should we be afraid of trouble?"

The young monk was a little anxious: "But, what should we do?"

Ma Fu had already made plans: "We are new here, and we still don't know much about many things, so what happened in the daytime happened."

"Let's go out and ask around tomorrow. We can't just stay at home and listen to what others say. We have to go and see for ourselves."

"Since the divine witch has such magical powers, and is acting on behalf of the immortal saints, many of these events happened recently, and the people should have heard about them, or even seen them with their own eyes."

"Especially by the river, there must be quite a few of these people."

"If we go around and ask people, we will definitely be able to get a rough idea of ​​what has happened recently."

"In this way, we can also know the power and spirit of Lord Yunzhong and understand what the witch is thinking."

Everyone nodded and prepared to do so.

Daybreak.

Ma Fu changed his clothes and came to the riverside. He was wearing coarse clothes and looked like a peddler in the city.

As soon as he arrived in the countryside, he began to ask around about Yun Zhongjun and the witch.

"I heard that there was a wicked man on the other side of the river who went up the mountain to steal the holy spring and used the name of Yun Zhongjun to deceive people. He was beaten and sent to the underworld, where he will suffer eighteen kinds of torture."

"In Jingu County and Xihe County, there are many evil people called the Five Ghosts. They come here to summon ghosts and harm people. I heard that they were all beaten to hell by the witches."

"That's not true. Hell is scary. I always say that people should not do bad things when they are alive, or they will suffer after they die."

"Under the seat of Lord Yunzhong, there is a pitch-black ghost god that is nearly ten feet tall. It walks between the yin and yang, can bewitch souls, and can tell how long a person will live with just one look."

After listening to what the villagers said, Ma Fu had details about each of them and could even accurately describe the people and even their names.

Therefore, Ma Fu confirmed one thing.

There are ghosts and gods walking around in the human world under the seat of Yun Zhongjun. Those ghosts and gods walk between the yin and yang worlds and can send people to hell.

After hearing the horrifying story, Ma Fu and his group felt terrified.

"Although Yunzhong Jun does not set foot on the earthly realm, he actually has such a ghost under his seat, who can control the affairs of the netherworld?"

"In ancient books, it was described that when Lord Yunzhong descended to the mortal world, he was not only accompanied by the dragons of the four seas, but also by the gods of the four mountains and rivers and mountain ghosts and monsters. This is not surprising."

But Ma Fu thought of another level and spoke.

"So, doesn't that mean Yun Zhongjun can also interfere in matters of life and death in the human world?"

"If so, doesn't that mean..."

Ma Fu hesitated to speak, but everyone understood what he meant and their mood became more anxious.

They were all eunuchs in the palace, so they naturally understood the emperor's thoughts.

As the Son of Heaven, what he fears most is naturally losing his power and supreme position.

Apart from other external factors, the biggest enemy and reason for every emperor to lose power since ancient times is naturally a matter of life and death.

Followed by.

Ma Fu came to the riverside and asked the river workers.

The river workers chatted with them while they were working.

"When the witch came, there was a storm as soon as it reached the river. The dragon that had been causing trouble in the mountains entered the river and transformed into a tyrant, and tried to stop the witch from crossing the river."

"As a result, the witch recited Yun Zhongjun's magic spell, and the Ba Xia had no choice but to obey orders and never dared to cause trouble again."

There were also other river workers asking questions in the surrounding area.

"How did Jiaolong become Baxia?"

"Have you never heard of walking dragons? Why would a dragon walk dragons? Isn't it because they want to defy the will of heaven and transform into a dragon?"

"But this mountain dragon has transformed into a dragon species since it fled from the mountain to the river. I heard that if the dragon in the Yangtze River fled from the river to the sea, it would transform into a true divine dragon."

"Wow, that Ba Xia is already so powerful, what does the Shenlong look like?"

Although Ma Fu had just heard about this, he was not surprised because he and others had seen the scene of the wizard leading the dragon by the river before.

However, Ma Fu later learned more about the Tiangong clan.

This kind of genius can build a city in one night and masters incredible secret techniques.

"Is this the method of building the Heavenly Palace?"

"It can summon dragons, call the wind and rain, and build a city wall overnight. If the witch is willing to use this method to help our army march north, then that would be..."

Ma Fu was very excited because he asked something new.

He also completely understood why the Prince of Lucheng County was so reverent to the witches, and even regarded them as immortal gods on earth, because as long as he could get their help, such power could be called a national artifact!

Just thinking of this, Ma Fu suddenly became wary of Lucheng County Prince Wen Ji.

Afterwards, Ma Fu found a businessman from Jingu County, and was even more surprised when he learned the news there.

Merchant: "The witch raised his hand and summoned the divine thunder from the sky. The area within a radius of dozens or hundreds of meters was razed to the ground, turning those monsters into dust, and even their souls were destroyed."

Ma Fu: "What divine thunder has such power?"

Merchant: "I heard that it was during the Waking of Insects that the gods and witches collected the divine thunder from the sky."

Ma Fu: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Merchant: "I was in Jingu City that day, watching the divine thunder fall. The ghosts and gods rushed towards the bull with golden light in their eyes, and the thunder shook the mountains."

“The next day, I went outside the city to have a look.”

"My ancestor, he left such a big hole on the ground, and it is still there now."

"If I had thought at the time that if this thunder had landed in the city, the city wall would have collapsed and half of the city would have been destroyed."

Ma Fu now confirmed the third thing, that the wizard had mastered a kind of thunder magic.

The thunder is so powerful that it can destroy city walls and even wipe out cities.

After listening.

Ma Fu was sweating profusely.

If we talk about summoning dragons and calling the wind and rain, this kind of power is still relatively indirect.

This kind of thunder magic can be said to be an unrivaled method in the world. If you annoy the wizard, he will use thunder magic in the city.

Or when the enemy army attacks your city, they will directly destroy your city walls, and no matter how steep your defenses are, they will be useless.

Such magical powers of thunder can even determine the rise and fall of a country.

Ma Fu sat under the tree. After listening to what the merchant said, he stood there for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
-
On the building's roof.

Ma Fu paced back and forth, standing up and sitting down.

He looked extremely uneasy.

The more he knew, the more panicked and fearful he became, but at the same time, his heart became more and more expectant and excited.

"I never thought that this witch would have such magical powers."

"He can be called a god."

"If the Lord is blessed by Yunzhongjun, and our dynasty has the help of the gods and witches, let alone unifying the nine provinces."

"Even if it means creating a divine dynasty that has never existed before, it is not impossible!"

Ma Fu has made up his mind to persuade the witch to accept the imperial edict at all costs.

If you can,

We must invite the divine wizard to the capital and treat him as the national master.

However, he was naturally not qualified to make such a promise, but he believed that if the emperor knew about this situation, he would definitely not be reluctant to give up the position of national teacher.

But now, we must meet with the wizard immediately.

In order to see the higher-ups, there must be someone who can talk to the wizard.

Soon, Ma Fu thought of someone.

He immediately opened the door and shouted outside.

"Someone is coming."

"exist."

"Go, find Jia Gui, the magistrate of Xihe County."
