I am a fairy

Chapter 203 Dragon Palace Banquet

Although Taoist Jin'ao received the token, he didn't know how to get to the Peony Dragon Palace.

but.

The next night, he heard someone calling his name outside while he was sleeping.

Taoist Jin'ao walked out in a daze, following the sound further and further, and finally came to the edge of the Danlong River. He could see that the river continued to flow and merge into the Yangtze River.

When the wind blows, the former Peony Dragon Pond appears before our eyes.

"When did such a mountain appear here?"

I saw that there was a "big mountain" in the narrow part of the river, and next to it was the former swamp which later became the Mudanlong Pond.

The "mountain" blocked the Danlong River and was covered with dense "vines" and even "trees".

The river water on one side disappeared through the diversion hole and then came out from the other end.

It was as if I was sucked in by a dragon.

Originally, the project here was started by an intelligent engineering vehicle, and later the God of Craftsmanship and Heavenly Craftsman took over the entire project. In the end, tens of thousands of vine monsters were dispatched here, and after the 100,000 evil spirits were thrown into hell, many of them were also arranged here.

All kinds of machinery manufactured by the Jiaolong Breeding Center and the resources from hundreds of small hells upstream and downstream of the Yangtze River are also almost fully supporting this side.

However, the dam is not yet completed.

The vines covering it are partly called Yongyou and partly called Zesheng. They are hollow inside and can be regarded as a kind of living pipe.

The trees growing on the dam are not ordinary trees, but advanced forms of monsters composed of cables of varying thicknesses, various machines, and brain arrays. Many of the original construction machinery have been transformed into this form that can perform self-maintenance and operation.

But in the eyes of Taoist Ao, this is a great supernatural power like moving mountains and filling the sea, a magical power that can reach the sky.

Taoist Ao suddenly remembered something. He had experienced the whole process of dragon disasters in the Yangtze River in the past. He had also witnessed the wizard saying that he would build a dragon palace here to suppress the dragons from all corners of the world.

Taoist Ao was dumbfounded and looked at the "mountain" carefully.

"Yun Zhongjun actually moved a mountain here, suppressing the Yangtze River and suppressing the dragons in the mountains and rivers."

Taoist Ao looked left and right, wishing he could climb up the "mountain" to take a look.

However, ordinary people cannot climb up that mountain. It looks desolate with vines covering it and even trees growing on the top, but there is actually a mystery inside.

At last.

Taoist Ao boarded a boat to the underworld, passed through the moon in the water, passed through the worlds of yin and yang, and disappeared into the human world.

However, he did not go to the underworld, but to the underwater dragon palace.

Taoist Ao, who was underwater in the Yellow Springs Boat, first saw darkness, and then colorful lights poured in from the surroundings, as if he had entered a magical area.

The Taoist was surprised, but did not dare to speak. He just waited silently.

When he left the Yellow Springs Boat, he stood at the entrance of the underwater Dragon Palace.

Under the river.

Deep in the Peony Dragon Pond.

Taoist Jin'ao was standing in a long and wide passage. He could not see the door behind him and did not know how he got in. He could not see the end in front of him, but he guessed that the end should be the Peony Dragon Palace.

The Taoist walked forward cautiously. Every time he walked a certain distance, he could see the underwater scene outside through a large piece of colored glaze embedded in the wall.

The dazzling light in the passage shines through the glass, and you can see the scenery and fish under the water of the river outside.

It makes people stop and watch, forgetting to move forward.

The surrounding walls are painted with nine sons of the dragon. Each of these nine sons of the dragon looks a bit strange, half like beasts and half like machines. Although they are called nine sons of the dragon, a quick glance will reveal that there are clearly more than nine of them.

He would stop for a while every time he passed a piece of glazed crystal wall.

As he walked, he didn't notice that the surroundings were gradually becoming lively.

The light coming from above became more and more blurred and dreamy, and extremely bright and extraordinary, as if it were not of ordinary light.

The front became more and more open, and a tall and heavy red gatehouse stood at the end, showing its majesty.

On the door, gold and silver ink outline the waves of the river, making it look elegant and luxurious.

In front of the gatehouse, there is a tall monster tree, which is covered with peach blossoms at this time of year. There are also many illusory figures moving under the tree. It is obvious at a glance that they are not ordinary people.

at the same time.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind me, and someone called out the Taoist's name.

"Master Craftsman A, I greet Taoist Master Jin Ao."

Bent over and looking outside the glazed crystal wall, Taoist Jin'ao, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, turned around in a hurry.

He didn't know who was calling him, but he immediately bowed in return.

"Don't dare!"

"Just call me Jin Ao."

When he looked up, he saw several figures wearing ghostly robes and winged official hats. He immediately recognized them as the craftsmen gods who had been deified after their death.

Taoist Jin Ao: "Who are you?"

The God of Craftsman smiled and nodded: "Like the Taoist priest, I am here to attend the Peony Dragon Palace Banquet."

Taoist Jin'ao only knew that he was invited, but he didn't know what the Peony Dragon Palace Banquet was. However, Taoist Jin'ao was too proud to ask.

After the two sides bowed and said goodbye, Taoist Jin'ao followed these craftsmen carefully. It didn't matter if he didn't understand, he could just follow these people and learn. At least he wouldn't be the only one to embarrass himself.

The further they went, the wider the passage became, and Taoist Jin'ao saw more and more ghosts and gods.

On the left and right of the gate next to the city gate tower, Taoist Jin Ao saw a row of beings that were obviously ghosts. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and stood guard with lanterns in their hands like servants.

And some of the faces and figures can be recognized at first glance as not being human. They are not the kind of existence that has lost their human identity after death, but they were not human when they were alive.

This made Taoist Jin'ao very nervous.

The relaxed mood that he had felt because of the strange sight outside the glazed crystal wall disappeared in an instant. This scene made him feel a little overwhelmed, and he could only pretend to be calm.

However, among the crowd waiting in the square in front of the gatehouse.

He still saw a few familiar-looking earth gods, as well as some heavenly craftsmen who were obviously still alive, but each of these people exuded the light of merit, and were slightly different from ordinary heavenly craftsmen.

Taoist Ao even saw some figures wearing scholar's robes.

He was not very familiar with this scholar, but he had heard of his name, which finally made him feel a little relieved.

"It seems that I am not the only mortal who came to this feast."

When he turned around for the last time, he saw a ghost that made his eyes widen and he almost fell to the ground.

He saw an old man in a ghost robe, looking at him with a smile from behind. The ghost expression on his face was half-smile, and it was also a little blue-black, which was particularly creepy.

Taoist Ao finally couldn't help it and raised his voice a little, but it was immediately suppressed again.

"Tao Master?"

Taoist Ao looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Why are you here too?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest looks different from those little ghosts. He looks more real and not so illusory.

The intricate patterns on the robe were so lifelike in detail that Taoist Ao could even see his hair blowing slightly in the dazzling golden light of the Dragon Palace.

Even without looking at the ghost robe and official hat, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary little ghost.

Taoist Ao was extremely excited. He stretched out his hand to grab the robe of Taoist Yin Yang, but passed through it instead.

Only then did he remember that the old Taoist was no longer a living person, but a ghost in the underworld.

The old Taoist was very proud: "Oh, Junior Brother Ao, why are you so surprised? I am not allowed to come."

Taoist Jin Ao finally couldn't help asking, "Master, please tell me, what is going on?"

Unlike pretending in front of other people, he knew everything in front of his own people. He knew exactly what Taoist Jin Ao was like before. Taoist Ao finally couldn't help but want to know what the current situation was like.

Unlike the other invited ghosts and gods, he had no idea what was going on.

The old Taoist said, "I don't know either. I just know that the Lord of Peony Dragon Pond is being conferred a title today. He has invited all the ghosts, gods, divine craftsmen, and scholars in Chu to attend the banquet. I heard that something big is going to happen."

Taoist Jin Ao: "What big thing will happen?"

The old Taoist looked around and said in a low voice.

"I heard that the owner of the Peony Dragon Pond was transformed from Yunzhongjun's mount. Junior Brother Ao, do you understand?"

What this means is that the Dragon King here is no ordinary person, but a deity from heaven who was sent down to the human world to rule over a region.

Taoist Jin'ao immediately raised his head, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

"Master, you mean..."

"Yun Zhongjun will also..."

Taoist Jin'ao was very excited, but Taoist Yinyang stopped him immediately.

"Junior Brother Ao!"

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

The two did not mention the matter again, but Taoist Jin'ao had not seen the Taoist Yin-Yang since his death, and at this moment he had a lot of questions to ask the other party.

After all, so many things happened after the other party passed away, and he still finds it hard to believe.

Taoist Jin'ao's voice became even quieter, as if he was plotting something, and he had the feeling of a guilty thief.

"Did you really take the late emperor to the underworld?"

If it were in the mortal world, Taoist Jin Ao would definitely not dare to say such a thing, after all, it was too taboo. Although it was widely spread among the people, the new emperor did not admit it after he ascended the throne, as if it had all disappeared with the death of Taoist Yin Yang and the late Emperor Wen Zhao.

After all, the new emperor did not dare to admit such things, let alone mention it to the national teacher Linghua Jun. Moreover, facing the fierce and evil spirit like Yin Yang Taoist, the successor emperor was also a little scared. But the Taoist sect also did not dare to mention this matter. After all, they were still in the human world, and the emperor was still the nominal supreme ruler of the human world.

The old Yin-Yang Taoist said: "That day, Emperor Wen Zhao did not know the destiny and was blinded by greed. It was not me who sent him to hell, but the heaven that took him away."

Taoist Jin Ao: "Is he really sent to hell?"

The old Yin-Yang Taoist smiled and said, "How can it be fake?"

Speaking of this, the Yin-Yang Taoist suddenly thought of something.

"Come to think of it, Junior Brother Ao seems to have taken the elixir before!"

It would have been fine if the Yin-Yang Taoist didn't mention this matter, but as soon as he did, the Jin'ao Taoist immediately got furious. He stared with his eyes wide open, feeling full of grievance and looking like he was about to start cursing.

Then, facing the ghost face of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest, he suddenly became timid again. Although the Taoist priest was thin and skinny, he had a black face and a black heart. Even his junior brother was afraid of him. Finally, he whispered anxiously.

"Didn't you tell me that taking the elixir can make one immortal?"

"It wasn't long after I took the medicine when the ghost came to take me away. Linghua Jun even said that my face turned black and I would not live long."

Thinking of this, Taoist Jin'ao suddenly remembered that he was also going to go to the hell of incorruptible bones.

Suddenly, he was sweating profusely, with cold sweat on his forehead.

The old Yin-Yang Taoist looked at his junior fellow apprentice and just gave a brief reminder without further investigating.

"Although this sin is serious, as long as Junior Brother Ao does not take pills again in the future, we can always find a way to offset it. When you go to Youdu City in the future, Uncle Gui will settle accounts with you."

"Life and death are a journey, and all merits and sins are forgiven."

"Unlike me, the Taoist priest, I don't know how many evil ghosts I have to catch to offset the karmic debt and redeem my fault."

Taoist Jin'ao felt that the one caught by Taoist Yin Yang was worth a lot, and he even made a profit.

The emperor was sent to hell after taking the elixir. What a shocking deterrent this was.

Many people were frightened by this, and the old Taoist priest became notorious throughout the world.

According to reports.

If you put up a picture of the dark-faced Yin-Yang Taoist priest in your home, even evil spirits will not dare to enter.

Moreover, Taoist Jin'ao felt that the old Taoist might not have done it on purpose. He wished he could continue to atone for this sin and take charge of the small hell where bones could not be dissolved.

However, Taoist Jin'ao also didn't dare to touch the elixir again, for he was afraid that his black-hearted senior brother would come to take him away and exchange his merits. He witnessed with his own eyes how the emperor was trapped by him.

At this time, the old Yin-Yang Taoist sighed.

"However, if this emperor was not so sinful and committed, he would go against the will of heaven."

"According to the status of the emperor and the princes, after death they will enter the Dragon Court of Incense, which is a better place than Haoli."

Taoist Jin'ao heard another secret and asked hurriedly.

"Incense Dragon Court?"

"what is that?"

The Taoist priest Yin Yang did not elaborate, perhaps he had only heard about it and did not know the details.

However, when he learned about the existence of the Incense Dragon Court, the Yin-Yang Taoist priest also learned an even more shocking news.

This is also the reason why the Taoist Yin Yang mentioned the Incense Dragon Court to the Taoist Jin Ao.

"This matter of the Incense Dragon Court has nothing to do with cultivators like us, so it's useless to know about it."

"But recently, I learned a real way to become an immortal."

The old Yin-Yang Taoist smiled and looked at his junior fellow apprentice.

"Brother Ao, are you willing to listen?"

Taoist Jin'ao had been cheated many times by his black-hearted senior brother, so he became alert at this time.

"Isn't that another bad idea like taking pills?"

How could he fall into the same evil trap twice?

but.

It’s okay to give it a listen!
The old Yin-Yang Taoist stroked his beard and shook his head.

"No, no!"

After saying this, the grim expression on the Yin-Yang Taoist's face changed.

All of a sudden, he went from smiling to extremely excited, and his eyes, which were dotted with thick ink, became sharp.

Although his voice was low, it was exceptionally powerful.

"It is said that there is a mysterious place between heaven and earth, just like the Incense Dragon Court, and it is even more mysterious."

"If the soul enters, it can prove the way to immortality and gain true immortality."

"Unlike ghosts and gods, even if they can live forever, they will eventually be blown away by the wind and rain one day!"

Taoist Jin Ao finally couldn't help it and asked.

"Really, there is such a mysterious place?"

"What's the name of that place?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest had not yet finished speaking, when at this moment, a figure holding a lantern shouted in front of the gate tower.

"The time has come!"

"Please come in, guests!"

Taoist Jin'ao and Taoist Yin-Yang looked over immediately and saw the heavy door with a vermilion background and painted with golden and silver waves slowly opening, revealing the scene inside.

"Buzz~"

As the door opened wider and wider, one could see the magnificent scene inside. Countless colorful satins slowly fell from above as the door opened, like a golden cloud.

Inside was a towering hall that seemed bottomless. Tens of thousands of "candles" placed on the walls on both sides were lit up and densely arranged towards the depths.

There are rivers, lakes and seas on the floor tiles under your feet, mountains and hills are depicted on the walls, and there is a sky full of stars above your head.

There are a large number of jade tables in the hall. There are screens in front and behind each table, and servants from the Dragon Palace are serving on both sides of the screen.

Although the banquet has not started yet.

But it already makes people feel the atmosphere of the Dragon Palace Spirit Pool Night Banquet.

A voice came from the deepest part.

"Please take your seats, distinguished guests."

Those ghosts and gods turned into light and shadows one by one, poured into the hall like meteors, and sat down behind the screen and jade table. This scene was unforgettable for Taoist Jin Ao.

Even the Yin-Yang Taoist showed up, turned into light and shadow and disappeared beside the Jin'ao Taoist, while the Jin'ao Taoist could only trot in, find his seat with the token in his hand and sit down.

Taoist Jin'ao was sitting upright, and next to him was Taoist Yin-Yang.

It was the first time for both of them to participate in such a banquet of gods and ghosts. Although they were respectful, they were naturally a little proud.

"The two of us were able to enter this underwater dragon palace and become guests on the dragon throne."

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

But then, the two saw more and more strange figures entering, and the guests who came to the party came one after another, which made them more and more shocked.

Finally, he was sweating profusely, with his head down and not daring to look around.

After a long time, Taoist Ao asked the Taoist Yin Yang a question.

"What about the owner of Peony Dragon Pond?"

As the Yin-Yang Taoist looked over, Taoist Ao finally saw the master of the Peony Dragon Pond, or he could also be called the Dragon King of the Danlong River.

In the deepest part of the hall, there is a niche-like place.

Everyone saw a half-mechanical, half-sculpture entity, which was covered by layers of colorful satin falling from above, so its specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

However, when Taoist Ao looked over, he also discovered some unusual things in the hall.

This hall is very tall.

In addition to those ordinary jade tables and huge niches.

Under the stars above our heads.

There are still clouds floating in the sky.

Taoist Ao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what that thing was.

“Why are there clouds above my head?”

Soon, he knew what it was.

That's the cloud bed.

Because the stars in the sky suddenly lit up, and the endless light seemed to reach the heaven directly, opening a huge door.

Amidst the shining stars, two rays of light descended from the sky and landed on the cloud bed.

Although I don’t know who it is, I can’t see clearly what is on the cloud bed.
