I am a fairy

Chapter 89: Immortal Residence and Charging

The shaman went up the mountain at night, holding the talisman and carrying the glass lamp. The rugged mountain road was paved with steps or poured with cement, and some difficult roads even had railings.

Finally, somewhere halfway up the mountain, the shaman saw ghosts.

After the ghost and the god waited for the divine wizard, they did not make any other moves, nor did they signal the divine wizard to follow them. They just turned around and walked towards somewhere on the mountain.

The shaman had long been accustomed to being led by ghosts and gods, and followed behind them slowly and leisurely.

As they walked, a road appeared in front of them that even gods and wizards had never seen before. To be precise, it was a plank road built around cliffs.

"what?"

“Is there a road here too?”

The wizard thought.

She followed the path and crossed the steep plank road that was attached to the rock wall.

One hand held a glass lamp and the other hand was holding the railing.

This plank road that follows the rock wall is several hundred meters long, but after the wizard walked past it.

She turned around and found.

The plank road that we walked on was actually retracted into the rock wall and disappeared.

"this?"

It turns out that this road only appears when ghosts and gods lead the way and want people to pass through.

She was not worried about not being able to go back, so she continued walking forward.

After walking through this somewhat thrilling and mysterious path, the front suddenly opens up and sees a platform sunken into the mountain.

Inside the platform, there was a building about three stories high, with long lattice windows arranged in layers on the outside.

The building is located on the top of a sunken mountain. The arch is not in the shape of a spire, but extends diagonally down along the rock wall with a slope, and is covered with glazed tiles.

Standing here, you can vaguely see the hot spring water at the other end. Based on the faint sound of water, you can judge that it should not be far away.

"So this is the direction. I've never been here before. So this is what it's like inside."

This sacred peak is covered with dense vegetation and was originally sparsely populated.

Originally, there was only one path through the bamboo forest for mountain people to cross, and other places were dangerous and difficult to climb.

But ever since Yun Zhongjun appeared, a new road or some buildings would appear from time to time. Those buildings and roads suddenly grew out like the grass and trees in the forest.

Just like that hot spring.

In the eyes of the wizard, all these changes were proof that Yun Zhongjun was a god. Only gods had such magical powers to change the world.

The wizard walked onto the platform and saw a figure standing in front of the building on the platform, looking at an extremely steep stone peak that looked like a pillar and was connected to the Divine Peak.

When looking up from below, this platform is blocked by rocks and vegetation. When looking from the front, it is also blocked by the stone peak.

"God Lord!"

The wizard walked up to the other person, bowed, and said.

Yun Zhongjun nodded and still stood in the distance looking at the stone peak.

The stone peak that looks like a pen holder or a stone pillar is actually part of the sacred peak, the part that stretches toward the riverside. The two are connected together for nearly a hundred meters below, and then separate when they are above a hundred meters.

At first glance, they look like two different branches growing from one branch.

However, ordinary people cannot get to the top of the stone peak. They must build a bridge from the place where Jiang Chao is standing. At the same time, they must have an elevator to reach the top of the stone peak.

Suddenly, Yun Zhongjun pointed to the top of the stone peak and asked.

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

The wizard looked toward the top of the stone peak and imagined it.

“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."

Wangshu plans to build a signal tower on the top of the stone peak. The Huangquan base underground is extremely important as a storage center for servers and data in the future, and this signal tower will serve it in the future.

However, this project has been listed as the second phase and has not yet started. We will have to wait until the Iron Sand Hell is on track before we can start construction step by step.

Jiang Chao also imagined a bridge connecting to the stone peak, walking along the bridge towards that side, and then taking the elevator all the way up and entering a tower.

This must be a very interesting journey, and the tower standing alone on the stone peak must be very quiet and mysterious.

Suddenly, the glass lamp in the wizard's hand began to flicker.

"what?"

The witch was a little confused.

Yun Zhongjun took a look and said.

"come in."

After saying that, Yun Zhongjun turned around and headed towards the three-story building tucked into the mountain behind.

There were several steps in front of the door. Yun Zhongjun walked up the steps. He stopped in front of the door and raised his hand to press on it.

"Di!"

After two beeps, the door opened automatically.

After Yun Zhongjun entered, the glazed lamps on the walls lit up, illuminating the entire building.

The wizard followed him in, looking at the interior with curiosity. As soon as he entered, he found that the internal structure was completely different from the outside.

After entering, there is a wide hall with wooden pillars leading directly to the top. It is more than ten meters high and looks very bright.

This building appears to have three floors, but inside it actually only has one floor.

The seven or eight meter vertical hollow windows on all four sides are extremely transparent. You can see outside, but outsiders cannot see inside.

In the center of the hall is a statue more than two meters high. It is carved into a mountain, which is the sacred peak. There is water flowing down from it in an endless cycle.

The shaman looked at the stone sculpture, wondering where the water came from and how it could circulate continuously.

She even felt.

"Could this stone sculpture be a kind of magic that corresponds to the outside world? If this mountain is knocked down, the mountain outside will also collapse?"

She originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but was afraid that if she did so, she might damage the stone sculpture and cause trouble to the mountain outside. So she was a little panicked and did not dare to move, but just watched carefully.

The shaman looked at the lights on the pillars again. On the wooden-painted pillars were painted pottery statues of little boys.

These boys made different postures, holding up a glass lamp respectively, and the light came from the lamp.

When he came to a pillar, Yun Zhongjun stretched out his hand towards the witch.

"Give me!"

The witch looked at the glass lamp in her hand and immediately understood that Yun Zhongjun wanted this from her.

She quickly handed it over and presented it with both hands.

After Yun Zhongjun took the glass lamp, he hung it directly on the pillar. He immediately saw faint rays of light changing on the lamp pole, as if some mysterious power was entering the glass lamp.

Yun Zhongjun said: "When you go back later, just take it away."

The witch nodded: "Yes!"

Passing through the pillars and stone carvings, there are several tall, long and exquisite stone screens.

The screen is carved with a sea of ​​clouds, with immortals driving their divine chariots descending from the sea of ​​clouds, accompanied by immortal officials, divine clerks, young boys and girls, and white cranes and phoenixes.

After passing the screen, there was a high platform behind.

After climbing up dozens of steps, there is a tripod with incense burning in front of the platform, and stone beds and tables inside. Among the rockery and rocks on both sides, the sound of water flows continuously along the canal, and there are also some bonsai flowers and plants.

On the wall directly in front of us, there is something that looks like a wall of clouds.

Further inside the mountain, you can see two long corridors on the left and right. There are two doors deep in the corridors, which must lead to the inside of the mountain.

Perhaps there are other buildings deep down there.

Yun Zhongjun: "I come here to sit sometimes."

Divine witch: "Is this your little paradise in the human world?"

Yun Zhongjun: "It can't be called a paradise!"

Divine wizard: "That should be one of your immortal palaces."

Yun Zhongjun: "That's what I thought before it was completed, but after it was completed, I seldom came here, and it's basically vacant."

Divine Witch: “Why?”

Yun Zhongjun: “Not used to it.”

Divine Witch: "Not used to it?"

Yun Zhongjun: "I was used to it when I was in the sky, but now I'm on the ground, and I feel that many things are not used to it."

Jiang Chao didn't lie. What he meant was what happened on the space station before. However, it sounded different to the witch.

This place was built when Wangshu was constructing the underground base.

After all, Jiang Chao had been squeezed in a small cabin and sleeping in the cockpit of the control room, which was not a good thing in the long run, so such a place was built here. However, Jiang Chao was not used to moving out all of a sudden.

Therefore, Jiang Chao only came here for a walk and never slept here.

In the eyes of the wizard, this place is spotless and all the furnishings and creations are extremely mysterious. The windows are all made of gemstones and colored glass. It is already very hot outside at night, but there is a cool breeze in the enclosed room here.

The divine witch thought this was such a good place, but Yun Zhongjun found it unusual.

she thinks.

He is indeed a god who came down from heaven. Even if this world is very good for the immortals, it is ultimately not as good as the palaces in heaven.

Yun Zhongjun sat down on the couch and said.

"If the talisman or glass lamp is not working, you can come here and use it later."

The witch stood and said, "How can I rashly intrude into your immortal palace?"

Yun Zhongjun: "When you put on the mask, aren't you Yun Zhongjun?"

The witch: "This, I will definitely wear the mask when I come."

After the wizard finished speaking, he looked up and saw something on the wall.

It was a mask.

The witch looked at the mask and felt it was familiar. At first glance from a distance, it looked a bit like the divine mask that Yun Zhongjun had taken from her before.

But when I got closer, I realized that it was clearly something different.

The previous masks of the gods were made of bamboo, silk, cowhide and other materials, but the shaman could not tell what this mask was made of, just like what he had seen at Yun Zhongjun's place before.

The surface of this divine face is so smooth that it seems to have no protrusions at all, and the curves are so rounded that it is unknown how it was polished to this degree.

When the witch looked up at the divine face, the extremely smooth surface of the divine face could even reflect her clear shadow.

However, the witch still doesn't understand why Yun Zhongjun took her mask that day.

Yun Zhongjun is an immortal god, so he is the real Yun Zhongjun.

Why does a mortal witch need to wear a mask to represent Yun Zhongjun, a fairy god?

When the wizard put on the divine mask, he became the Lord of the Clouds in the eyes of the people.

So why did Yun Zhongjun need this divine mask? What did Yun Zhongjun become when he put on the divine mask?
She couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Yun Zhongjun seemed to see through her thoughts: "Want to try it on?"

The witch immediately shook his head: "How dare I?"

Yun Zhongjun: "After wearing it, you can see the immortal palace in the Nine Heavens, go to the netherworld under the Nine Earths, and even travel the earth."

The wizard was even more afraid and didn't even dare to look at it.
-
The Taoist Yin Yang received a letter from Jingu County.

The letter was written by Taoist Danhe. Recently, the three Taoists Yinyang, He and Ao have been living in different places and have been very busy. They meet less and less frequently and can only communicate with each other through letters.

This letter describes in detail what happened outside the community temple that night.

A man wearing exactly the same clothes and mask as the shaman came to the community temple in Jingu County on a sedan chair carried by two ghosts, and then the ghosts took away the monsters from the Five Ghosts.

After receiving the letter, the Yin-Yang Taoist wanted to go to Jingu County to take a look, as there had been miraculous things happening in the community temple recently. He also wanted to see how Danhe was doing in Jingu County.

On the way from Ziyun Peak to Jingu County, the Yin-Yang Taoist priest passed by the foot of the Divine Peak.

Now that he was here, he wanted to go up and take a look.

He thought of the underworld and the god of ghosts he saw on the Cold Food Festival, and the lifespans of all living beings recorded in the scroll dropped by the god of life. After hesitating for a long time, he finally went up the mountain.

"Go up and have a look!"

After the priest heard the purpose of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest's visit, he asked someone to inform the divine shaman.

When the shaman heard about the arrival of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest, he also received him. He sat cross-legged on the altar behind the curtain and listened to the Taoist priest talk about this matter.

"God of War, that day you took away those demons from the Five Ghosts and threw them all into the Iron Sand Hell, the first level of the Netherworld in Nether City."

"May I ask where this little iron sand hell is?"

"What kind of scene is there in this netherworld? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

The old Taoist priest of Yin and Yang is getting older and older, and his time is running out.

He also vaguely knew that he might not be able to make the elixir of life, and it would be difficult for him to achieve immortality. As the bamboo slips on the Sima Ming indicated, his death was probably not far away.

Even if I could obtain the immortal method now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.

therefore.

The old Taoist became more and more interested in matters of life and death, thinking about them day and night.

Everyone is afraid of the afterlife, but he became more and more eager for it.

Some people say that everything is empty after death, but he hopes that there is still an underworld after death, or even reincarnation as Buddhism says.

At least, there's something to think about.

If everything disappears into thin air after death and becomes nothing, the old Taoist would be horrified at the thought.

So when he knew that the underworld really existed, he did not feel fear, but was extremely happy in his heart.

“In a person’s life, birth is a beginning, and death is also a beginning.”

"Below that human world, there is still the underworld."

"In the human world, life is the beginning; in the netherworld, death is the beginning."

However, even after confirming that the underworld really exists, the Yin-Yang Taoist still has some questions and hopes to get answers from the witch.

"After death, can everyone enter the netherworld?"

"After entering the netherworld, if we have committed any sins in the human world, will we be punished in the underworld?"

"What is the so-called sin?"

"Killing someone is a sin, killing an animal is also a sin, does stepping on an ant also count?"

"After the punishment, is there anything else?"

"Life is the beginning and death is the end in the human world; then in the netherworld, death is also the beginning, so what is the end?"

The old Yin-Yang Taoist priest sat cross-legged below, looking up and expecting a response.

This was the first time that the witch knew about this matter, but she was concerned about another matter. On the day of the Cold Food Festival, "herself" actually rode the chariot of ghosts and gods to Jingu County. How come she didn't know about it?
But then she changed her mind and knew who was going to Jingu County.

Divine Witch: "That's not me."

The old Yin-Yang Taoist said, "Is it Yun Zhongjun?"

Divine wizard: “Yes.”

The old Yin-Yang Taoist thought that it was Yun Zhongjun who was walking in the human world in the body of a divine witch: "The divine witch is indeed a divine witch, half witch and half immortal god."

Divine Wizard: "So I can't answer your question right now. What else do you want to ask?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest was much more relaxed today: "No, I just hope that if the divine witch can see through the life and death and the secrets of Yin and Yang in this world one day, he can give me some pointers and let me not be so hesitant."

Divine witch: "Life and death are all determined by heaven. Whether you hesitate or accept your fate, what can you do? Everything is written on the bamboo slips of the God of Fate."

The old Taoist said: "Even so, I still want to know where we will go after we die. Although life and death have been written on the bamboo slips of the God of Destiny, I can't help but always hope that I can have a chance to change my fate."

"It is the same when seeking immortality and practicing alchemy to achieve immortality."

Divine witch: "What's wrong with everything being nothing? It's better than going to hell."

The old Taoist said, "No, no, compared to going to the underworld, the thought of everything being empty actually scares me more."

After the old Taoist left, the shaman sat in the curtain of the altar and meditated quietly, thinking about what the other party had just said.

The surrounding shamans, including the sacrificial shaman, all knelt on the ground. No one dared to speak or move, for fear of disturbing the shaman's meditation.

Although during this period of time, the wizard does not seem to have changed much on the surface.

But in the eyes of outsiders.

Invisibly, her power seemed to become even more powerful, making people dare not look directly at her.

When everyone saw her, it seemed that they could no longer tell whether she was a witch on earth or a god above the clouds.

She thought that on the day of the Cold Food Festival, Yun Zhongjun actually took a divine chariot to Jingu County and played a game of chess with Taoist Danhe. Then, at Taoist Danhe's request, he ordered the ghosts and gods to take away the monsters from the Five Ghosts.

She felt that since there were ghosts and gods following her, it must be Yun Zhongjun, but she still planned to confirm it.

In case some evil person or other person impersonates Yun Zhongjun or attempts to do something.

but.

A previous doubt in her mind seemed to be answered.

When she put on the divine mask, she became the Lord of the Clouds in everyone's eyes.

And when Yun Zhongjun put on the divine mask and played in the human world.

Yun Zhongjun became a divine wizard in the eyes of everyone.

The moon in the sky and the moon in the well both seem to be the same moon in people's eyes.
