I am a fairy

Chapter 179 The Emperor Called Me to Board the Ship
Huajing.

"call out!"

A "bird" flew down from the sky and passed over Huajing.

As far as the eye can see.

The city is dotted with stars like a chessboard, with brothels, painted pavilions, embroidered doors and pearl curtains everywhere. The shops above the streets are three stories high, divided into several levels inside and outside. The shop doors are colorful and have gardenia lanterns hanging at the door, and the seats are full of customers.

The road was busy with traffic, handsome horses were galloping on the road, young men were waving their hands to call their friends, gorgeous carriages came and went, silk ribbons on the carriages fluttered, and the faces of noble ladies could be vaguely seen in the carriages.

The "bird"'s eyes swept across the main street of Fangchang, passed through layer after layer of gatehouses, and flew over the bridge above the water.

Finally, it passed through the Imperial Street and the city gate building of the imperial palace, flew into the depths of the Mingtang, and disappeared among the layers of palace buildings.

The bluestone corridor in the palace.

The ground was still wet because the monks had just sprinkled water on it in the morning.

The jade carriage pulled by four horses was heading northeast. The emperor was wearing a crimson robe and a Tongtian crown, holding a Yuangui in his hand, riding in it. He looked just like the star god in the mural.

"Your Majesty, where are you going today?"

The guards all wore black hats, yellow shirts and green pants, and the one who was speaking was an official standing close to the jade carriage.

The voice came from the jade carriage.

"Go and pay respect to Lord Yunzhong."

"By the way, has the Imperial Master's Yunzhong Palace Temple been renovated?"

After saying that, the other party sighed.

"It's just that time is short, so we can only renovate the Daifukuzenji Temple."

It was unknown when the emperor changed from being a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures to frequently visiting the palace shrine of Yunzhongjun to worship.

Especially in recent days, I go there almost every day.

It is said that one must fast, purify the body, burn incense and calm the mind before one can receive the response from Yun Zhongjun.

The official walked close to the jade carriage and answered.

"It's almost done. We will definitely not miss the important event of welcoming the Imperial Master to the capital."

Dashanfu Temple was previously the largest temple in the capital, housing hundreds of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of all sizes, and countless Buddha statues. It also supported thousands of monks and novices, and was the most popular temple in the world.

Unfortunately, when it comes to supernatural powers and blessings, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Dafushan Temple all lost.

Therefore, the Buddha and Bodhisattva from Dashanfu Temple had to be taken down from the stage and moved to another place to make room for more powerful gods and Buddhas to come in.

The Buddha and Bodhisattva of Dashanfu Temple were incompetent, and as a result, thousands of monks suddenly became homeless.

When they left, the monks sighed and the little novice monk cried, but no monk dared to say anything.

There was no way out. The new god or Buddha who was going to move in was too powerful. The news from afar scared them so much that they didn't even dare to hesitate or delay when moving out.

That "god and Buddha" sent 100,000 people to hell overnight.

There are not many of them, only a few thousand people.

The emperor, who looked to be about sixty years old, inside the jade carriage also had a drastic change in his mentality after receiving the news.

From then on, whenever he mentioned the three words "Yun Zhongjun", he was always respectful.

He doesn't know whether Yun Zhongjun can bring you blessings in the next life, but he knows that Yun Zhongjun can definitely bring you bad karma in this life.

There was silence in the Jade Carriage for a while, and then the Emperor asked again: "Is the news true?"

The official knew what the emperor was asking about: "The news is confirmed. In addition to the news from various sources, the secret guards have also personally confirmed it repeatedly. One hundred thousand troops were annihilated by thunder overnight. The camp and the fields for dozens of miles are empty."

"The ground is covered with traces of lightning, and the camp is dozens of miles long with embers left by the burning of lightning..."

As the emperor listened to what the official said, his pupils gradually dilated and his consciousness seemed to drift further and further away.

The emperor had received information from many sources, but deep down he still couldn't believe it. After all, he had never seen it with his own eyes and had only heard it from others.

If others had said that the gods had descended to the earth and their spiritual light was shining everywhere, and that the ground was covered with golden lotus and orchids, he would have certainly accepted it with joy, and then openly sent people to look for the gods and invite them, just like before.

But others told him that the spell passed down by the gods could summon swarms of dragons from the river, a decree could make ghosts and gods roam the earth at night and demons break into the yin and yang worlds, and a bolt of lightning could turn 100,000 people into dust.

He did not fly into a rage and scold or yell at the man.

"You're deceiving the heavens!"

It's calm enough.

As the emperor, suspicion seems to be in his bones.

Emperor: "The power and majesty of the Cloud God is truly incredible, beyond the comprehension of mortals like us. It's a pity that I didn't know the name of Lord Yunzhong earlier!"

Official: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has already left for the capital. Now is the time."

The emperor did not respond, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

visible.

He was still very happy about this matter and was looking forward to it.

I have been worshipping gods and Buddhas for half my life and reciting scriptures for half my life.

I finally saw the real gods and Buddhas, or at least saw existences related to the real gods and Buddhas.

As he was speaking, the jade carriage left the palace.

We arrived at the northeast corner not far from the imperial palace, where there was a huge complex covering an area of ​​about half the size of a market town.

At the emperor's command, the place seemed to have completely changed its appearance in just ten days, and all the decorations in the buildings were replaced with Chu style.

Hundreds of slaves and palace maids sent from the palace were busy back and forth. These slaves were wearing Chu Feng's robes, and many of them even came from Chu. They spoke with the accent of Yin and Jin states.

At first glance, it seems like a dream back to the ancient Chu State.

It can be said that the emperor put in a lot of thought and thought at all costs. It can even be said that he was willing to put in more thought and pay a heavier price.

Especially after receiving the accurate information from the secret guards, his determination became even stronger.

because.

If welcoming the gods and witches into the capital was more of a symbolic act, or it was due to the emperor's personal will, he was pursuing some illusory auspicious signs and so-called proof of destiny, or the even more illusory so-called immortality.

To a greater extent, it was the emperor's business alone.

Today, welcoming a sorcerer named Yun Zhongjun who can send down divine thunder to destroy a country into the capital is the wish of everyone in the Wu Dynasty. It is full of practical significance and is even an absolute political task.

What they brought back was not the Bodhisattvas and gods in the paintings, but real ones.

The difference is worlds apart.

Unlike before when the emperor wanted to appoint a national teacher, all the civil and military officials in the court opposed it. Now, let alone appointing a national teacher, even if the emperor said that he wanted to use the whole country's strength to support the national teacher, all the civil and military officials in the court would not say a word of objection.

The emperor got off the jade carriage and was welcomed by the crowd as he passed through door after door. He took a look at the scene in the Yunzhong Palace Temple around him and frowned.

"There are too few people. The Divine Shaman is a person from heaven. How can we treat him with such disrespect?"

"Also, we need to discuss the expenses again and spend some time thinking about it. Do you think the gods are the same as you?"

"Although we can only change this Dashanfu Temple into Yunzhong Palace Temple in a hurry, it is not enough. We must also carry out major repairs. Order the Shaofu to allocate craftsmen to arrange this matter. We must make sure that the shaman is satisfied."

The official beside him took note of what he said, but he did not speak.

He has no right to judge such matters, nor does he have the right to arrange or say yes.

He was just responsible for recording it, and then others would implement it.

in the hall.

Behind the incense smoke, there is a statue of Yun Zhongjun that has been painted by countless painters and revised countless times. This was sent by the eunuch Ma Fu, and it was a painting of Yun Zhongjun based on the prototype of the divine witch.

The portrait was several meters long from top to bottom, and the shadow of the Cloud God looked even more majestic and mysterious.

Flowers, plants, orchids, fruits and five kinds of animals were offered on the table.

An old man in a robe and a crown stood in the hall, recited a sacrificial text to Yun Zhongjun, and then began to sit in meditation in the hall.

The hall was divided into several levels, with the emperor sitting alone in the innermost one. Outside the layers of curtains, there were people ringing bells and chanting scriptures.

"Buzz!"

The emperor sat quietly under the portrait of Yun Zhongjun, his mind lost in the fragrant mist and the sound of bells, as if he had floated into the sky.

At this time, a bird flew into the hall and looked at the emperor quietly.

Then, a ghostly vine monster that came from nowhere jumped out from the beam and slowly fell along the pillar.

And the other side.

Together with the Suanni Temple, it is located in a newly built community temple.

A ghost appeared quietly and hid behind the statue.

The ghost god quietly installed a base station in the community temple, and then turned on the solar panels on the roof of the temple.

The solar panels slowly unfolded and the base station slowly started up, connecting to the Yellow Springs base in the distance.

Because this is the capital, this base station is different from ordinary county base stations. It has a different coverage range and power, is much larger, and has more accessories.

Fortunately, the community temple here is also much larger.

"Buzzing."

"Drip drip drip!"

"The base station has been turned on and connected to the mainframe of Huangquan Base!"

The base station is being tested and adjusting the signal.

And in the main hall of the Yunzhong Palace Temple.

After the drone found the emperor, it immediately began to circle him, constantly collecting information and sending it out.

"Facial recognition, locked on to the person, confirmed to be Emperor Wen Zhao of the Wu Dynasty."

"Information is being collected and sent."

Long before, Yun Zhongjun had issued the decree.

We need to collect information about the capital, especially information about the emperor, and know about various situations happening here in case of any abnormal situations.

At this time, the base station is turned on and the signal covers the entire area.

On a large ship not far from the capital, the wizard who had been disconnected from the Internet for some time suddenly connected to the Internet, and a signal was directly transmitted to the drone and Yongyou Teng.

"The deputy minister of the Heavenly God has applied for connection." "Permission approved!"

"The gods are looking for Emperor Wen Zhao of the Wu Dynasty."

"Permission approved!"

"Apply for a dream!"

"Permission approved!"

The dark energy passed through the thin gauze curtain, through the layers of incense, and lit up the old man sitting under the altar.

The old man woke up from his daze and raised his head in horror.

"what?"

In his sight.

He saw a giant hand reaching down from the sky, and its white sleeves were like a falling cloud, covering the sky and the sun.

With a light press of the giant palm, the world turned into dark night.

Grabbed his soul and flew into the sky.
-
on board.

As they approached the capital, although the wizard had already made preparations, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Can I really do what the Lord God wants me to do? Will I disappoint the Lord God?"

The journey has not been smooth, but has been full of twists and turns.

The witch walked outside. The ship was divided into several floors. She sat on the high side of the ship and played the Fengqin that she always carried with her on the side railing.

“Thump, thump…”

As the boat sailed across the river, the sound of the piano followed the waves.

At this moment, the divine mask worn on the face of the shaman suddenly started up by itself, and along with the signal coming from afar, it first connected to the base station in Huajing.

At this time, the wizard was playing the zither and talking about things in the capital.

"What does the capital look like?"

"What does the emperor look like?"

"It would be nice if I could take a look at the capital ahead of time and know what the emperor is thinking."

In an instant, the God of Heaven conveyed his request and delivered the feedback to the mind of the witch.

"In a dream?"

A faint and light voice came from all around. The wizard had no idea what it meant and responded instinctively.

"In a dream?"

Then, from a level of sound she couldn't hear, came a response.

"Permissions approved."

Subsequently.

The wizard's eyes first flashed with the chessboard-like layout of the capital city, and then came the close-up view of a bustling street filled with people as numerous as the sea.

Finally, a building appeared before her.

Zooming in, she saw the emperor.

Then, she felt as if she had transformed into a god in the sky.

She stretched out a hand, pulled the emperor's soul out of his body, and pulled it up to the sky.

She could even hear the emperor's screams of horror and helplessness, and feel his panic.

At this moment.

She was once again borrowing the magical powers belonging to Yun Zhongjun.

She didn't expect that as soon as she stretched out her hand, she would catch the soul of the emperor on earth. The so-called emperor on earth was really like an ant in the hands of real gods and Buddhas.

Sending dreams does not mean entering other people’s dreams, but pulling others into your fantasy.

At this moment, the witch was sitting on the boat. When she came to her senses, she found that she seemed to still be on the boat, but this "boat" was different from the feeling of being on the boat before.

This is a ship that only exists in Huangliang’s dreams.

The river is like the Milky Way, hanging down from the sky.

The boat also became like a huge mountain. She sat on the top wearing the white cloud-patterned robe of Yun Zhongjun. A dim round light emerged behind her head, and the sound of her piano resounded throughout the country.

The wizard stopped playing the piano and looked at the circle of light behind his head out of the corner of his eye.

She had seen Yun Zhongjun in this state many times before, and she had also played the role of Yun Zhongjun countless times, so she knew that she had now turned into Yun Zhongjun.

She stood up and wanted to see what she looked like in the water.

however.

As she stood up, the circle of light behind her head illuminated the river.

Like the bright moon rising over the river.

There were also screams and shouts coming from the riverside. The sound was very faint, but when she looked over there, the sound immediately became clear.

"But Yun Zhongjun has come to the lower world?"

"Could it be that Yun Zhongjun sensed me?"

"But, but Yun Zhongjun showed up?"

That was exactly the cry of the emperor. The other party stood by the river, looking in disbelief at the river and the boat that looked like the Milky Way falling from the sky, and also at the gods on the boat that were shining like the sun, moon and stars.

"Here I am. Here I am."

"I'm here!"

The emperor shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that the "immortal" could not see him.

And the "fairy" on the boat really looked at him. Although she had guessed the other party's identity, she was not completely sure.

Divine wizard: "Who are you?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the voice was transmitted directly into the other person's mind, even though they were separated by the distant river.

The emperor was standing by the river. He became even more excited when he heard the "immortal" respond to him and shouted even louder.

The emperor bowed to the bright moon over the river and said, "The emperor of the world pays homage to the Lord of the Clouds."

The witch looked at the emperor and nodded: "Oh, it's the emperor!"

The witch had many doubts and worries in her heart. She wanted to see the capital city in advance and know what the emperor looked like and what he thought, so that she could deal with it calmly.

But at this moment, he saw the emperor bowing and saluting by the river.

suddenly.

All the doubts and worries disappeared.

She looked at the human emperor who was looking up at her on the river. Compared with the vast river, he was so insignificant.

Compared with the figure she represents at this moment, she is as incomparable as a firefly and the bright moon and sun.

Something in my heart was completely broken.

She stopped talking and didn't explain who she was. She just looked into the distance.

The emperor wanted to say something more, but at this time thick fog began to rise over the river and the land, gradually submerging everything.

The mountain-like boat also followed the river surface that was like the Milky Way in the sky and gradually disappeared into the distance.

"God, please don't leave!"

"The human emperor Wen Zhao has something to say. He has something to say."

"Mr. Yunzhong! God! God!"

"Wait for me, wait for me!"

The emperor was anxious.

He ran along the water's edge, waving as he ran, with an anxious expression on his face.

There was thick fog all around and no one could be seen.

In his eyes, the ship passed through the white Milky Way, as if it was heading straight to the sky. He also wanted to follow the ship, to take a look at the Milky Way above the nine heavens, and to meet the immortal god.

No matter how much he shouted, he couldn't get on the boat.

"what!"

The emperor woke up from his dream in a sweat, and found himself still in the Yunzhong Palace.

When he looked up, he saw the portrait of Yun Zhongjun.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then burned incense respectfully and bowed again and again.

Although he woke up from the dream, the emperor did not feel that he was dreaming.

The dream was so clear, more so than any dream he had ever had before. He remembered every detail of the dream, every word the immortal said, as well as the tone and intonation of his voice.

He believed even more that this was the manifestation of Yun Zhongjun.

The emperor came out of the palace and immediately summoned someone to question him.

"When will the Imperial Master's ship arrive?"

"They will arrive tonight or tomorrow, but if they arrive tonight they will probably rest at Tianshengdu and Guanyi, and will not officially enter the capital until tomorrow morning."

"Someone has already made arrangements at Tianshengdu. Everything is ready."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately nodded and said.

"Good good."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow is here."

"Tomorrow I will bring all the civil and military officials to welcome the divine witch. We must make sure this is done well. There must be no mistakes in welcoming the divine witch into the capital."

Such a miraculous thing happened before the witch was even seen.

The emperor was becoming more and more impatient. The feeling of not being able to catch up with the boat along the river in his dream not only did not dissipate, but was reflected more deeply into the world of the living.
