I am a fairy

Chapter 229: Nine Songs: Donghuang Taiyi (Additional chapters for monthly tickets)

At night, Linghuajun couldn't sleep, even though tomorrow would definitely be very busy.

She came to clean up the Divine Peak in advance and let Yun Zhongjun take away the things under the Divine Peak, but she didn't know what Yun Zhongjun was going to take away, and what was under the Divine Peak.

The words spoken by the white boy echoed in my mind again.

“Deeper than the clouds!”

"A place higher than the sky."

A god who lives above everything, sitting high above the thirty-six layers of clouds, overlooks everything.

She knew that she had never truly understood Yun Zhongjun, but she always thought that she at least knew some of his secrets, at least she knew that he was Yun Zhongjun.

If Yun Zhongjun was the shadow behind the fog in the mountains, she at least pushed away a few layers of fog and saw some of its outlines.

However, at this moment, Linghua Jun felt as if he had seen nothing.

She just reached out and cleared the fog.

However, he discovered that what was blocking the other person's way was not fog, but a vast sea of ​​clouds, thirty-six layers of clouds, and an insurmountable sky.

No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see the other person's true appearance.
-
Early in the morning.

Linghua Jun was walking along the path carrying an incense burner, heading towards the cloud wall. The whole story began from that cloud wall.

The white boy came closer and Linghua Jun asked him.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?"

The white boy said: "When Linghua-jun goes back, I will have to see him off!"

In fact, Yunzhongjun's decree was to let Bai Tongzi send Linghuajun to Yunbi Mountain, but it was not clearly stated whether he would be sent back or not.

However, it was a rare opportunity to leave the Great Sun Palace, so Bai Tongzi naturally wanted to take a walk outside. He was nothing in the Great Sun Palace, and everyone else knew what he knew, but only Linghua Jun could listen to his story.

As Linghuajun walked into the Shou Palace, Bai Tongzi saw the cloud wall.

Bai Tongzi was surprised and said, "Ah, this jade disk is very similar to the one in the Great Sun Palace."

Ling Huajun turned around and asked: "Is there also a cloud wall inside the Great Sun Palace?"

The white boy nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you before that there is also a jade disk like this in the Lord God's bedroom? It glows and can see beyond the clouds in the sky and even illuminate the underworld."

Linghua Jun laughed: "This cloud wall is also possible, it may come from the same source."

Linghua Jun immediately recalled the ancient legend about this jade disk, that the cloud wall leads to the immortal's residence.

It seems now.

Sometimes, Yun Zhongjun would look through the wall of clouds in the Great Sun Temple and watch the people in the mountains and the shamans performing Nuo dances to worship the gods.

Speaking of sacrifices and celebrations, Bai Tongzi also talked about the ceremonies he had seen inside the Great Sun Temple.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the celebration held in the shrine is very lively."

"The Lord of the Clouds sits on a cloud bed, receiving worship from humans, gods, demons and ghosts. When he looks up, there is a mirror in front of him, and he can also see scenes in the human world."

"There is a witch from Lingshan dancing with a sword, and the jade pendant on her waist makes a clear clanging sound."

"The whole hall was filled with flowers in full bloom, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine. The floor was covered with orchid mats, which were very comfortable to step on."

"Some people are beating drums with drumsticks, some are singing with slow rhythms, some are playing the 竅 and 琴 with melodious sounds, and some are dancing in heavenly robes. It's so beautiful."

Bai Tongzi recalled it with great nostalgia. At that time, he stood under the pillar and served.

"That palace lady's clothes are prettier than my feathers, and she flies more beautifully than I do."

Linghua Jun was no stranger to this sacrificial ceremony, as he had performed it countless times.

After hearing what Bai Tongzi said, even those scenes appeared in my mind.

However, since it was a celebration held within the Great Sun Temple, it was naturally a hundred times more prosperous and noble than anything she had seen or imagined.

just.

When the scene described by Bai Tongzi appeared in his mind, Linghua Jun instinctively felt that it was a bit abrupt.

She felt that this scene did not seem to be a sacrifice to Yun Zhongjun, and there was a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it before.

She may not have seen it, but she must have heard of it.

This is a bit strange.

But for a moment, she couldn't remember it.

"very nice."

"Unfortunately, I was unable to enter the palace to pay my respects to the Lord God."

Linghua Jun held the incense burner and began to offer sacrifices to the gods in front of the cloud wall of Shou Palace.

There was only her here, and a white-feathered crane demon. She seemed to have turned into the witch of the past again, singing ancient ballads and poems on this wall of clouds.

"Bathe in orchid soup and enjoy the fragrance...dress in gorgeous clothes and look like a beautiful lady..." "..."

"The dragon rides on the emperor's robes, and flies around in the world."

"The spirit has descended, and soared far into the clouds."

When Lord Linghua finished offering sacrifices to the gods and came out of the Shou Palace, White Crane Boy immediately jumped out from the side and followed Lord Linghua and spoke.

“You sing really beautifully.”

Linghua Jun picked up the incense burner and put it aside carefully.

"This song has been passed down since ancient times, it's not that I sing it well."

Bai Tongzi said, "It's passed down from ancient times. It's so old. However, the Kagura you sang is somewhat similar to the Kagura played at the Great Sun Shrine on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the lyrics are slightly different."

Linghua Jun asked: "Similar, but not quite the same, so what is it singing?"

Bai Tongzi said: "I don't know either, but I heard from other monsters that it's called..."

The uneducated Bai Tongzi thought for a long time and finally remembered it.

"I can't remember."

"But I do remember a few of the lyrics."

Linghua Jun asked him, "Which lines can you sing?"

Bai Tongzi nodded, but then said, "But I can't sing well, so please don't laugh at me."

Linghua Jun agreed: "I will definitely not laugh at you."

Bai Tongzi remembered a few lines of the poem and sang them to Linghua Jun.

The first two sentences made Linghua Jun stunned.

"It is an auspicious day, and the Emperor will be pleased."

As Bai Tongzi was singing, he found that Ling Huajun had fallen into a trance again. He thought he was not singing well and stopped immediately.

"I won't sing anymore, I won't sing anymore. I told you I didn't sing well."

Linghua Jun lowered his head and looked at Bai Tongzi.

Ask him: "It's not that you sing badly, do you know what you are singing?"

Bai Tongzi: "It's the song we sing!"

Linghua Jun said: "That can only be sung when offering sacrifices to Taiyi God."

She finally understood why she had felt something strange after listening to Bai Tongzi's description. It was like a figure like the Emperor of Heaven sitting on a cloud bed, accepting worship from humans, gods, demons and ghosts on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and being worshipped by the mortal world.

Isn’t this exactly the scene described in Nine Songs: Donghuang Taiyi?

Bai Tongzi: "Oh, just sing it!"

Ling Huajun shook his head: "You don't understand. Sacrificing to gods has been passed down since ancient times. There are laws and regulations. You can't mess around!"

Yun Zhongjun sat on a cloud bed, with humans, gods, demons and ghosts gathered in front of him. The music played was ritual music for worshiping Taiyi God. It was not that Yun Zhongjun could not accept it, but there were naturally some problems.

Linghua Jun, who came from Chu, certainly knew who Taiyi God was, and it could be said that he knew him very well.

Her former mountain tribe not only worshipped Yunzhongjun, but also Taiyi God.
And the same.

Those people, gods, demons and ghosts in the Great Sun Temple who held the ceremony on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and played the music of Donghuang Taiyi to welcome Yunzhongjun could not have failed to understand what they were doing.

The only explanation is that they know what they are doing and even feel that they should do so.

In a trance, Linghua Jun looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside the Shou Palace.

She felt that the layers of clouds in front of her eyes had dissipated a little, and she seemed to catch a glimpse of the shadow of the immortal god above the nine heavens again.

Thinking of this, Linghua Jun actually felt a little flustered.

Could it be that it was the humans, gods, demons and ghosts in the temple who had been offering sacrifices to the wrong gods?

But her?
At this time, Bai Tongzi said again.

"Oh!"

"By the way, there were some differences on that day."

Linghua Jun asked him: "What's the difference?"

The crane demon Bai Tongzi said.

“On weekdays.”

"The Lord of Gods always wears the image of a god, but he didn't wear it that day."

"This is the first time I see what Yun Zhongjun looks like!"
