I am a fairy

Chapter 213: Hundred-year-old peach in front of the Great Sun Shrine

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Where is your majesty?"

"He hasn't returned yet. Why don't you send someone into the mountains to look for him?"

"What, we can't get into the mountains?"

"So many people, they can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

Inside the temple, an official in a purple robe questioned in a stern voice. Even though it was the coldest time of the year, he was already sweating profusely.

The entire temple was brightly lit, with soldiers in silver armor coming in and out. Outside the temple, more soldiers were holding torches high, as if to light up the sky.

Facing the questioning of the purple-robed official, the general below hesitated. Logically speaking, he was not under the other party's control and could ignore the other party's questioning, but at this moment he was obviously a little panicked.

He said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the Dragon King is hospitable and has kept Your Majesty as a guest in the Dragon Palace. He will be back in two days."

The purple-robed official asked again, "What about the people guarding the mountain road? How come they were also invited away without even a notification?"

The emperor went into the mountains, and then disappeared along with all the officials, monks, and personal guards he brought with him.

This immediately frightened the officials and guards waiting outside out of their wits.

They hurriedly sent people into the mountains to look for the person, but it seemed like a ghost. After entering the mountains, those people just wandered around in circles. Instead of finding the person, they got trapped in the mountains.

This vast mountain is useless no matter how many people go in.

Especially in the middle of the night, seeing people disappear in the mountains like this, the soldiers were terrified and refused to enter the mountains again.

The general couldn't answer, and at this time someone next to the official offered advice.

"Since Your Majesty disappeared in Xinkong Mountain, why don't you ask the temple priest of Xinkong Mountain? He may know something from the gods."

Speaking of this, the general immediately spoke.

"What do you think? Could it be that the mountain god was angry and kept Your Majesty in the mountain?"

"If not, how could such a strange thing happen in this mountain? No one who went in came out."

When everyone thought about it, they felt that it was indeed possible.

After all, although Emperor Wen Changxing came in the name of worshiping the mountain god of Xinkong Mountain, it was just a cover and a formality.

After Wen Changxing pretended to be a good person under the mountain god statue in front of the temple, he went to the mountains to look for the real dragon. Later, he lived in a Buddhist temple, far away from the community temple controlled by the gate.

Will this behavior anger the mountain god of Xinkong Mountain?

He is a deity after all. How could he be treated so lightly? Even if he is the emperor, what difference does it make?

After all, Wen Changxing was only the emperor of the mortal world and had no control over the mountain god.

Everyone immediately had this thought.

"Let's go to the mountain temple immediately."

There is a newly built temple on another hill not far from the temple. It is the newly built community temple, or it can also be called the mountain god temple.

Whether it is the mountain god or the earth god, they can all be called community gods, the gods in charge of the land.

in the dark.

The crowd came to the foot of the community temple in a mighty procession. Torches on the road gathered like dragons, and the Taoists on the mountain naturally saw it.

The Taoist priest immediately ran down and found out after asking.

"What? Your Majesty has not been heard from since he entered the mountain?"

The purple-robed official certainly would not say anything about suspecting that the mountain god of Xinkong Mountain had left His Majesty and the officials in the mountain, but only spoke to the temple keeper.

"Please ask the Taoist priest to perform a ritual and ask the mountain god what happened in the mountain and why Your Majesty has not returned yet."

The temple keeper was a little embarrassed: "I am not the real temple keeper, but only temporarily in charge of this mountain temple. I don't know whether this mountain god can respond to me."

Xinkong Mountain is not a big or famous mountain, it is just well-known in the surrounding area.

Even if such small mountains were to be conferred titles for community temples, they would usually be ranked very far back. The Imperial Master's Office usually gave priority to confer titles on counties with dense populations. Usually, only large mountains with important minerals or other reasons would be conferred titles for mountain gods.

Therefore, Xinkong Mountain was named as the mountain god. Also because of the start of the underground network project, although Xinkong Mountain is not very important in terms of geographical location, it is the hub center of the underground network and requires a community temple to coordinate and control it.

The purple-robed official had no other options: "There is no other way now. Please give it a try, Taoist priest. Thank you very much."

The priest of the community temple nodded and no longer refused.

Torches were burning like dragons at the foot of the mountain, and officials and guards at the gate were waiting anxiously.

Inside the mountain god temple, the priest was burning incense, praying, and asking the gods to perform rituals.

After a lot of fuss, only one answer was reached.

"The mountain god has closed the mountain. No one can enter the mountain now."

The purple-robed official stepped forward and said that it was no longer important whether the mountain was closed or not. What mattered was whether the emperor was safe.

"What about His Majesty? Is there any news about His Majesty?"

The temple keeper simply replied, "I don't know."

Everyone immediately hung their heads and stamped their feet: "What should we do?"

But the temple keeper then said, "The mountain god can control some things, but not others."

What this means is that the reason for the emperor's disappearance has nothing to do with the mountain god of Xinkong Mountain, and the specific reason has to be sought elsewhere.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked towards the depths of Xinkong Mountain.

"Perhaps, it was really the Dragon King who invited His Majesty?"

"Isn't there a monk named Nianhua with us? It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Are we just going to wait like this?"

In the end, it was the purple-robed official who made the decision.

"Go and report to the Imperial Master immediately."

It sounds like calling on Wukong to save me.
-
In fact, before the messenger arrived in Huajing, the imperial teacher Ling Huajun had already made preparations. She even knew what the emperor would encounter on this trip.

It was just a close call.

Yunzhong Palace Temple.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Linghua Jun got up and began to make preparations, ordering the entire Yunzhong Palace Temple to prepare offerings and rituals and music to present to Yunzhong Jun.

All the shamans, waiters, and servants in the Yunzhong Palace Temple were a little surprised, because the order came too suddenly, there was no preparation in advance, and today was not an important day.

Only the witch who followed Linghua Jun knew why.

The divine wizard put on a robe with cloud patterns and walked through the corridor connecting the Imperial Master's Mansion and the Yunzhong Palace Temple. The witch beside him wanted to ask several questions but kept her mouth shut.

Linghua Jun had already noticed it: "Just tell me what you have to say!"

The witch finally asked, "Goddess, why didn't you tell the emperor in advance that there was no real dragon in Xinkong Mountain?"

Linghua Jun said: "Emperor Wen Changxing fears power but not virtue, has no ambition but thinks highly of himself, is very suspicious and vindictive, feels that he should look down on the world and rule the nine states as he pleases, but he worries day and night that someone will fight for his throne and is afraid that the little devil will secretly take his life."

If we say that the previous emperor Wen Zhao was an extremely conceited person who dominated the world with his own desires, and wanted to live forever after becoming emperor, and even wanted to ascend to the heavens after achieving immortality.

Then the emperor of this generation, Wen Changxing, was a combination of extreme arrogance and inferiority complex. On the one hand, he felt that he was an emperor who could do everything with a single order and that everything in the world should be at his disposal. On the other hand, as soon as he encountered a little difficulty or problem, he would immediately become a coward.

When the sun rose in the morning, he still felt that he was the true dragon emperor. But when the wind blew at night, he suddenly remembered that he was a mortal suffering from the five signs of decay.

Linghua Jun walked and walked, and finally arrived at the Yunzhong Palace Temple from the National Master's Mansion. It was not yet completely light, and many people were waiting in the forest garden of the Yunzhong Palace Temple with lanterns in their hands.

The witch next to Linghua Jun took one of the lamps and listened to what Linghua Jun continued to say.

"If a man like this doesn't crash into the South Mountain a few times, he will be able to reach the moon in the sky in a few days."

"By then, there will be another Wen Zhao."

"If we suffer a little now, we will be more peaceful in the future and will not cause chaos."

The witch nodded: "Indeed, the witch sees it clearly."

State Master Linghua Jun: "It's not that I see things clearly, but after experiencing what happened to the previous emperor Wen Zhao, I naturally learned to see things clearly. If I had handled some things properly at the time, maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this."

Wen Changxing had brought trouble upon himself and suffered losses twice, so he should have understood something: an emperor on earth should do what an emperor on earth should do.

Let Wen Changxing govern the states and counties of the Southern Dynasty, and then assist her in fulfilling her duty as the Lord of the Mountains, Rivers and Earth.

As for other things, look at Wen Changxing's expression.

Linghua Jun didn't think too much about it.

Halfway through the journey, someone hurriedly caught up with them and reported.

"Master, His Majesty has sent someone to ask for an audience. It seems that he has an urgent letter for you."

The people nearby who were preparing to offer sacrifices to the gods also heard it and started talking about it. They already thought it was a bit strange that the State Master Linghua suddenly wanted the entire Yunzhong Palace Temple to hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the gods. Now they were even more surprised to hear that Emperor Wen Changxing, who had just left the capital, had sent someone to deliver a letter.

"Didn't the emperor just go on an eastern tour? Why did he send someone back at this time?"

"Why didn't you tell me before you left? Why tell me now?"

"Did something happen?"

"It's really strange."

The man ran a hundred miles overnight and was so tired that he knelt on the ground, holding a letter box in his hands.

Linghua Jun turned around and looked at the man: "Is the emperor okay?"

The man held up the letter box high: "The Imperial Master will know it at a glance. This happened suddenly. Please take a quick look at it."

Linghua Jun nodded, and the man handed the letter to the witch beside the national teacher Linghua Jun, and then it was handed back to Linghua Jun.

After reading it, Linghua Jun spoke.

"I understand. I will offer sacrifices to the gods this morning, and then I will ask the four landowners and eight mountain gods to investigate."

"But at this time, let's offer sacrifices to the gods first!"

The man suddenly became anxious and spoke.

"National Master, His Majesty..."

However, Linghua Jun had already turned and left, walking towards the main hall of the Yunzhong Palace Temple.

"let's start!"

In the Yunzhong Palace Temple.

A group of witches and shamans in the palace were ready, wearing colorful Nuo masks and dancing to the sound of drums.

The dance steps are frantic yet mysterious, transforming into gods and ghosts of the ancient human world to welcome the arrival of the supreme god. Musicians outside the palace play melodious Chu music, the tunes are sometimes as gentle as flowing water, and sometimes as magnificent as mountain torrents, which complement the dance steps of the witches and create a solemn atmosphere.

The hem of Linghua Jun's robe fluttered in the wind. Holding a stick of incense in his hand, he walked slowly into the Yunzhong Palace with a solemn and dignified manner. He stopped in front of the statue, respectfully offered incense, and bowed deeply.

The prayer was deep and clear, and it could be heard throughout the palace: "Lord Yunzhong, I pray that you will bless us with good weather, peace and prosperity."

In an instant, I saw the several-meter-long scroll being blown by the wind, making a slight rustling sound.

Linghua Jun looked up and saw that Yunzhong Jun in the scroll seemed to lower his head and look at her.

moment.

The overwhelming cloud and mist surged down from the scroll, wrapping around it, as if pulling it into the scroll.

Now, Linghua Jun came to invite the real Buddha Tathagata.

Dainichi Shrine.

The last time Linghua Jun came, this temple had not yet been opened. Now when he comes, it has completely changed.

The Great Sun Shrine itself is a magnificent building, like a palace in heaven in a fairyland on earth, and the sacred Fusang tree next to it exudes a bright and magnificent light, as if all the light in the entire sky is gathered here.

The scene inside the shrine is even more amazing.

The luminous pearls and colored glass cups hanging from the ceiling of the hall shine with soft light, reflecting a peaceful atmosphere. In the center of the hall, a zither fairy plucks the strings of her zither, and the melodious sound flows like a clear spring, which is refreshing.

Accompanied by the music of the piano, a phantom dressed in heavenly clothes danced lightly with graceful movements and elegant dance steps.

Afterwards, the phantom not only danced on the ground, but even flew to the sky, dancing in its colorful clothes under the stars, surrounded by immortals and gods, which was jaw-dropping.

The high and mighty Yun Zhongjun sat upright on the cloud bed. He was dressed in gorgeous immortal robes, with layers of auspicious clouds behind him. His expression was neither majestic nor solemn, just like the auspicious clouds, ethereal and unapproachable.

At this moment, the national teacher Linghua Jun fell into the hall.

She looked at the magnificent scenery of the fairy palace and was unable to come back to her senses for a moment. Since she was able to meet Yun Zhongjun, it was the first time she saw such a noisy and lively scene around Yun Zhongjun.

Before this, Yun Zhongjun sometimes transformed into a god riding a deer and walked in the mountains, showing the wildness of the ancient gods, and sometimes controlled the dragon to show the majesty of the nine-day gods. At this moment, she saw Yun Zhongjun sitting on the cloud bed, high above, and being worshipped by all the monsters and gods.

In a trance, she seemed to feel that the person sitting on the cloud bed was not just the god she had imagined, but the Emperor of Heaven.

Until the dancing phantom retreated, the music gradually subsided.

at this time.

A gorgeous palace maid dressed as a female official came to ask her to come forward. Linghua Jun had never seen her before, so she bowed.

However, the other party immediately stepped aside and did not dare to accept her gift.

"I am just a lowly old slave in the Divine Palace. How dare I accept the worship of Yun Zhongjun's spirit son?"

The other party called himself an old slave, but he looked to be only about 30 or 40 years old.

Linghua Jun asked the other party: "Are you a human or an immortal?"

The palace servant said, "How can this old slave be an immortal?"

Linghua Jun: "But you look young and handsome, why do you call yourself an old slave?"

The palace maid laughed and said, "Lord Linghua, you don't know that this old servant has lived for hundreds of years."

Ling Huajun was very surprised: "This..."

The palace servant told her: "Lord Linghua has also seen me before, but I was not like this at that time. It turns out that when Lord Linghua and Lord Shen were drinking on the mountain, he was leaning on me!"

Linghua Jun looked confused and had no idea what the other party was talking about.

Speaking of drinking with Yun Zhongjun, she naturally remembered that it was above the hot spring water on Shenfeng Mountain, surrounded by mist.

There is a peach tree on the mountain. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the flowers fall into the pond.

But at that time, there were only her and Yun Zhongjun in the Forbidden Forest Garden, and no one else. How could she lean on the other person? And according to her personality, she could not do such a thing.

The palace maid said, "I am the peach tree beside the hot spring."

Ling Huajun was shocked: "Ah?"

He looked the other person up and down, and could never imagine that the other person was actually a tree.

Indeed, the previous life of the demon grandma was a century-old peach tree in Yunbi Mountain. To be more precise, there was a magpie on the peach tree. After the magpie died on the peach tree, the two merged into one and turned into the demon that Linghua Jun saw at this moment.

Finally, under Linghua Jun's surprised gaze, the palace maid smiled sweetly and led Linghua Jun inside from behind the palace pillars on both sides of the hall.

When she was closest to the cloud bed, the palace maid stopped and said something to her.

"The person Linghua-jun wants to find can be found in the north of Linjiang Posthouse."

The Imperial Master Ling Hua was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was talking about the location of the emperor.

However, she always felt that the name of Linjiangyi sounded familiar. The name turned over in her head twice, and then she immediately remembered where this place was.

This was clearly the place where the entire family of King Huaicheng died. A fire at Linjiang Posthouse burned all of King Huaicheng's family members to death, and King Huaicheng was chased directly to the bank of a big river in the north and died at the bottom of the river.

Lord Linghua bowed and thanked Lord Yunzhong.

If Linghua Jun can welcome back Emperor Wen Changxing this time, her prestige as the imperial teacher will be raised to an unprecedented level, and Wen Changxing probably won't dare to cause any trouble anymore.

"Greetings to Lord Yunzhong, Lingzi pays respect."

The immortal with a mask on the cloud bed raised her hand and saw clouds rising from under her feet, dragging her aside.

And off the stage, the music continued.

Before Linghua Jun could open his mouth, the immortal on the cloud bed spoke.

"Do you remember?"

"The promise we made in the past."

Of course Linghuajun remembered that every time she asked Yunzhongjun for something, she also had to do something for Yunzhongjun.

Linghua Jun bowed and asked.

"Lord God, is there anything you need Lingzi to do?"

Yun Zhongjun was listening to the music in the palace and looking at the winter scene outside, as if he was recalling the past.

"Winter goes and spring comes, and another year has passed."

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

At that time, he was sitting under the cave in front of Yunbi Mountain, watching the snow by the river slowly melt, some of it dissolving into the ground, and some merging into the river water.

At that time, he had not figured out what to do. The space station had fallen from orbit to the earth for more than a hundred years. Wangshu's job was to maintain the basic facilities of the space station and wait for him to wake up, but he was also at a loss.

Later, when Jia Gui passed by the cave, he mistook him for a god.

Yunzhongjun: "Spring has returned to the earth, and all things have begun to grow. Everyone says that Yunzhongjun controls the sun, rain, thunder, and lightning, and controls the growth of all things in the nine provinces."

Linghua Jun: “Indeed.”

Yun Zhongjun: "This year, the land blessed by the Earth God and the Mountain Lord will have a good harvest, and the people will have enough food and clothing."

Although he said this, Linghua Jun still didn't quite understand how to ensure a good harvest.

In other words, only when it reaches that level can it be considered a good harvest.

The people have enough food and clothing, but what does it mean to have enough food and clothing?
-
Empty heart in the mountains.

As soon as the divine beast Suanni opened its mouth, it sucked the emperor Wen Changxing, his accompanying officials, monks, Taoists, and guards into its stomach.

However, the crowd did not become food for the mythical beast Suanni, they were just staying there temporarily.

Everyone was in a daze, and felt like they were floating in darkness. They wanted to open their eyes, but their eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they couldn't lift them no matter how hard they tried.

I could only feel my body rising and falling, as if it was swaying with the waves.

"What's going on?" "Where are we?"

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

In the darkness, although everyone could not see anything, they vaguely felt that there were people around them.

They even felt that someone was secretly watching them.

They were a pair of huge, inhuman eyes that radiated a light that made people feel uneasy.

Emperor Wen Changxing felt even more so. His eyes, which were bigger than millstones, stared at him intently, making him terrified and he couldn't help but shout.

"who is it?"

"Who is lurking in the dark? Come out?"

At this time, the existence behind those eyes said.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you blocking the Dragon Road and blocking my way?"

Emperor Wen Changxing could not see the Suanni and stared at its huge glowing eyes in the darkness.

"It turns out that it is the divine beast Suanni who is here in person. I am the emperor Wen Changxing."

"We have mistakenly entered the realm of gods and ghosts and don't know how to return to the human world. On the way, we saw the Dragon Road, and we want to follow it back to the land of Kyushu."

The Suanni looked at Wen Changxing curiously: "You, a mortal, actually know that the Dragon Path connects the Yin and Yang Realm, and you also know that you can return to the human world by following the Dragon Path. This is quite extraordinary."

After hearing what the mythical beast Suanni said, Wen Changxing stammered, "I learned it by chance, I learned it by chance."

Suanni looked at Wen Changxing, muttering the name Wen Changxing, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Wen Changxing?"

"I heard that there was a man named Wen Changxing who stole the dragon path by the Peony Dragon Pond. This man has the same name as you, but I heard that he was a prince in the human world."

"You said you were the Son of Heaven, but that doesn't make sense."

Hearing this, Wen Changxing was instantly ashamed and didn't know how to respond.

After a long time, Wen Changxing spoke.

"In the past, I didn't know what the dragon way was, and I acted rashly, which made the Dragon King laugh at me."

Suanni: "I am not a dragon king, but just a dragon. I obey the orders of the upper world and am driven by the gods."

Wen Changxing asked again: "I wonder if the Dragon Lord can send me and my subjects back to the land of Kyushu. If the Dragon Lord is willing to send us back to the human world, I will definitely reward him handsomely after I return to the capital."

Suanni asked: "I heard that you built a temple for the Suanni in the Peony Dragon Pond. If I send you back to the human world, how will you thank me?"

Wen Changxing replied: "I have not only built a temple for the Dragon King, but also erected a monument and engraved a biography for him to be passed down to future generations."

Suanni laughed and said.

"No need for that. You should keep all these thanks for yourself. I don't need them."

"After a while, you and the mortals around you will return to the human world."

"Don't let me see you again in the future."

At this moment, Wen Changxing didn't know yet.

The Suanni did not save his life in vain, he had already paid a price in secret.

All the blessings and gifts you think are from heaven are secretly marked with a price tag.

It would be fine if he could accumulate this merit before he died, but if not, he would have no choice but to sign the Cyber ​​Hell contract and enter the jar to work for the gods.

Hearing that Suanni looked down on his gratitude, Wen Changxing's momentum suddenly weakened. He found that as the Son of Heaven, when the Suanni divine beast did not need the temple he built and even did not care about its reputation and incense, he seemed to be just an ordinary mortal.

Thinking of this, Wen Changxing suddenly became somewhat unwilling.

After a long while, Wen Changxing spoke tentatively again.

"Lord Long, I have another question for you."

Suanni was heading towards the distance. When he heard that Wen Changxing had a problem, he said impatiently.

"You, the emperor, are very nosy. Ask!"

Hearing that the divine beast did not refuse, Wen Changxing immediately asked.

"May I ask, Lord Dragon, as the true dragon emperor, how can I have the dragon energy to protect myself?"

The emperor Wen Changxing was thinking that if he could go back, he would never be involved in these matters of yin and yang and ghosts and gods again.

He was only safe for a short moment, knowing that he would be able to return to the human world soon. Then his true self began to sprout again. He wanted to cultivate dragon energy again, and he couldn't help but want to get involved in the affairs of ghosts and gods.

Upon hearing Wen Changxing claiming to be the true dragon emperor, the mythical beast Suanni laughed wildly. The rough voice, like the roar of a lion or a dragon, made the emperor feel numb in his heart.

Wen Changxing asked, "Why is Lord Long laughing?"

The divine beast Suanni said: "I laugh at you for daring to call yourself the true dragon emperor and wanting dragon energy to protect your body. It's really ridiculous."

Wen Changxing: "Why can't I be considered the true dragon emperor?"

The divine beast Suanni said: "Only a mortal who can unify the nine states can be called a true dragon. How can a mortal like you have such a fate!"

The divine beast Suanni looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Looking at your appearance and aura, you don't look like a real dragon at all. At most, you are a snake in a quagmire. You are not as good as me. I feel cold even if I pull a cart for a god."

Suanni laughed endlessly, and the emperor did not dare to refute at this time.

He really wanted to question Suanni face to face and said loudly.

"You are just a small dragon, how can you understand my lofty ambitions?"

"How do you know that I won't be able to unify the nine provinces and become the master of the land of Shenzhou in the future?"

But after thinking about it, I really didn't have the confidence to say it.

He could only comfort himself in his heart and said, "I am now in the belly of this Suanni. I must not anger him and do not bother with him."

but.

After hearing the mythical beast Suanni say that he did not have the qualities to be a true dragon emperor, Wen Changxing could not help but feel resentful.

But at this time, Wen Changxing heard something said by Suanni, which instantly made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave and his heart and liver were broken.

"You are a snake that occupies a place like this. Without the protection of the true dragon's energy, you will be like a mortal after death. You must go before the ghost master to have your merits and sins settled."

"I see your face is full of evil spirits and evil ghosts. You must have done nothing good in your daily life."

"There are dark clouds covering your head, your merits are shallow and your virtues are thin, and you are entangled in sins. I am afraid that you will not have a good ending when you go to the netherworld in the future."

"Hahahahaha!"

After saying this, the lion laughed even louder, like thunder.

When Wen Changxing heard what the Suanni said, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.

He always felt good about himself, thinking that he was the true dragon emperor. Even if he died in the future, even if he was not ascended to heaven as a god, he should still have a place in the underworld!
Now that he heard what the other party said, he did have a place in the underworld, but it was not the place he thought.

"what?"

Wen Changxing wanted to ask again, but then he saw other rays of light coming through the darkness in front of him.

Wen Changxing suddenly felt dizzy, and he was thrown out like a bean in a bamboo tube, rolled several times in the air, and then landed on a snowy hillside.

And around him, the rough voice of the mythical beast Suanni echoed.

"Go!"

"Don't let me see you again, if I see you again."

"I will chew you up into pieces in one bite, and then burn you to ashes with a raging fire."

When Wen Changxing got up, he found that he had walked out of the dark and dim realm of ghosts and gods where the sun and moon did not exist.

A bright moon overhead shines on the earth, and the stars in the sky illuminate the nine provinces.

Looking around again, he saw figures climbing up one after another. They were the officials, monks, nuns, Taoists, and guards who had followed him before. It seemed that all of them were there.

"Where is your majesty?"

"Where is your Majesty?"

"found it."

"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here."

As soon as everyone stood up, they called out to each other. When they saw a familiar figure, they immediately formed a team again. After a while, order was finally restored and they gathered around Emperor Wen Changxing.

Then, everyone began to look around to confirm where they were.

"Where is this?"

"Still in the mountains?"

"We are still in the mountains. Everyone, please be careful. Maybe you haven't come out of that haunted place yet. There are mountain spirits and tree monsters around."

After this incident, everyone was left with a deep fear of the mountain. They always felt that some moving vines, walking trees, or some monsters would suddenly emerge from the deep mountains and forests.

However, after asking around, everyone discovered that they should have walked out of the realm of gods and ghosts. At least there was no situation where people would never come back once they entered the forest.

Although everyone was still unsure of their location, at least they had returned to the human world.

At this time, the monk who picked up the flower stood up and pointed in a direction and said, "If we are still in Xinkong Mountain, we should keep walking in that direction and we should be able to reach the river."

The emperor glanced at the monk holding the flower, and finally nodded: "According to what the master said, let's go over there."

Wen Changxing accepted the advice of the monk picking flowers and led everyone in one direction.

However, Wen Changxing was absent-minded on the way. Although he had rested for such a long time and no longer needed anyone's support, he still looked listless, and was thinking about what the mythical beast Suanni had just said.

Seeing Wen Changxing's appearance, the eunuch beside him comforted him.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. What Suanni said is only about the future, so it doesn't count now."

"That Suanni is just a dragon, how can it really know the future? In my opinion, as long as Your Majesty is a little more motivated, he will definitely become a great sage in the future."

When Wen Changxing heard the eunuch's words, he was immediately shocked.

"What, you heard that too?"

When Wen Changxing looked around again, he saw the gazes of other people around him. The gazes of those people carried a strange feeling that he had never felt before, which made Wen Changxing feel like a thorn in his back.

He immediately knew that it was not just the eunuch next to him who heard it.

Wen Changxing thought that the conversation between him and the mythical beast Suanni could only be heard by him and the other party, so he spoke freely.

Now it seems that everyone can hear it.

At this moment, Wen Changxing just stood there, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

but.

The first thing that came to his mind at this moment was not what the Suanni said, that he had little merit and was entangled in sins because of his father and brother's affairs.

But because the Suanni said that he didn't look like a real dragon at all and was at most a snake in a quagmire, he was filled with shame and resentment and wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and just became dejected.

The mountain was not big. In fact, their original location was only twenty or thirty miles away from the exit of the mountain. However, the group walked in twists and turns for a day and a night before finally getting out of the mountain.

When I came out, I saw the sound of carriages and horses in the distance, and a large group of people holding flags were rushing towards this side.

The purple-robed official came with his men and immediately knelt down on the ground when he saw Wen Changxing.

Wen Changxing asked the other party: "How do you know I am here?"

The other party replied, "When I learned that there was no news from Your Majesty, I quickly reported it to the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master calculated that Your Majesty would appear here today, and it turned out to be true."

Wen Changxing immediately asked, "Where is the Imperial Master?"

In this world where gods, ghosts, demons and monsters run rampant, the soldiers lined up in formation could not give him any sense of security. At this moment, Emperor Wen Changxing could only feel a little relieved when he saw the carriage of the National Master Linghua.

Wen Changxing hurried to the main road, and when he looked up, he saw a divine chariot, which was the imperial master's chariot.

On the way back, the emperor asked the national teacher Linghua Jun.

"Can the Imperial Master see the merits of a person?"

The national teacher replied: "You can tell whether a person has a golden glow of merit or is entangled with sins."

As for the specific values, they are not visible to the Dharma Eye, and only the gods of the underworld can know them.

Wen Changxing asked again: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be entangled in sins?"

Suddenly, the imperial master's carriage stopped.

Wen Changxing asked: "Master, why did you stop?"

A voice came from the divine chariot: "This is where the King of Huaicheng is buried."

Wen Changxing immediately turned his head and looked at the river. He was confused at first, then his face turned pale, and finally he never asked Linghua Jun those questions again.

After returning to Beijing,

Emperor Wen Changxing finally became much more obedient and no longer kept an eye on anyone he felt was a threat to him and then killed their entire family.

Also stay away from monks and Taoists and don't cause trouble.

He issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of King of Huaicheng on him, and even adopted a member of the royal family to inherit the title and incense of the King of Huaicheng. He also issued an edict of amnesty for the whole country after the beginning of the year.

But other than that, there is still no sense of cheering up.

The news about what happened in Xinkong Mountain also spread as the emperor and officials returned to the capital from their eastern tour, and Xinkong Mountain became famous from then on.

That's what I said.

If the mountains are not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons.

However, regarding the "real dragon" in the "Dragon Palace" in the heart of Xinkong Mountain, the different opinions are not about the prosperity and splendor of the Dragon Palace, but about the appearance of the "real dragon".

"That true dragon is extraordinary and has a different appearance."

Whenever anyone who entered the "Dragon Palace" mentioned this matter, the most important thing they said was this.

But ask again.

He hesitated and didn't dare to say what the real dragon looked like.

It just means a dragon with strange appearance and extraordinary appearance.

The others were confused. They had only heard that human beings had strange appearances, but dragons were already strange. Was there any need for him to explain it?
Moreover, it is difficult to understand what the strange phenomena in this life are just by imagination.

It was not until the news came out from the Yunzhong Palace Temple that the spirit that appeared in Xinkong Mountain was not a real dragon, but the ancient demon god Bashe.

"Its color is dark blue, it is a thousand feet long, it can swallow mountains and eat elephants!"

Everyone including the emperor suddenly realized that it was no wonder that creature was so ferocious and almost left them in the realm of ghosts and gods. Even the mountain god of Xinkong Mountain succumbed to its ferocity.

Not long after, people from Bashu came to talk about the sacred tree Ruomu.

Only then did everyone know about it.

Yunzhongjun also appeared in the State of Ba.

He brought back the most vicious demon god in Nabadi, Bashe, and appointed him as the General of the Nine Lands.

"What is the General of the Nine Lands?" people at that time asked.

"Perhaps, it is the general guarding the gate of Jiuyou?" everyone guessed.
-
The heavy snow gradually showed signs of melting. Although the cold winter was not over yet, Linghua Jun had already seen the Spring God's clothes belt falling from the sky, embroidered with flowers, trees, birdsong and fragrance.

"When spring comes, everything begins to grow."

Standing under the branches covered with snowflakes, Linghua Jun was still thinking about what Yunzhong Jun had said before.

"This year, the land blessed by the Earth God and the Mountain Lord will have a good harvest, and the people will have enough food and clothing."

Linghua Jun asked how this could be done, but at that time Yunzhong Jun just asked her to be prepared.

"You will know when the time comes."

As usual, Yun Zhongjun had already made some arrangements, but the specific things still had to be done by her.

However, Lord Linghua was willing to do it. After all, Lord Yunzhong was a god in heaven, and the affairs of the world had to be done by mortals on earth.

Just like the emperor’s affairs, ultimately it is up to the emperor himself to do them.

While thinking.

There were strange noises coming from beneath the ground in the capital, and layers of snowflakes fell from under the treetops.

There seemed to be a tremor deep in the earth, like a sign of a dragon turning over.

"Is there any movement underground?"

Linghua Jun also felt it and went to check it out immediately, and finally locked it near the Suanni Temple in Huajing City.

He ordered people to separate the inside and the outside, and then went in to take a look.

Then you will see a huge round "mouthpart" sticking out from the ground. Even just a quick glance at it is enough to make one's legs tremble and one's soul lose its spirit.

There are such evil things in this world.

Even Linghua Jun was frightened in a hurry, and then she realized that this creature was a Basashi.

Although she knew about this thing before and knew that it had strange properties, this was the first time she had seen this so-called strange property.

It turned out that another python from the Goddess Peak of Wushan Mountain had also arrived.

Start building an underground network passage from Huajing City to the other side.

Under the Suanni temple.

It can lead to the underworld, connect to the underworld, go to the paradise, and go to the immortal palace on earth.

However, those who can use this dragon path cannot be mortals.

As this huge underground network goes down layer by layer, it is conceivable that more and more pythons will join in.

The deeper you dig, the farther you dig, and the wider you dig.

Perhaps one day, we will reach a point that no one can imagine.
