Chapter 992 Chang'an Tavern, Nuwa Creates Life (Thanks to丨Sparrow丨for the Ten Thousand Reward)
Shindai South Sea?
South Sea Guanshiyin?
Jue looked at the Lord of Guixu before her. The latter's expression remained unchanged as he calmly took a sip of wine.
In truth, He had been worried that such a capable and resourceful subordinate might be lost here.
Even if she were lost, He would at least have to recover the magical treasures and spiritual materials.
A large family has a large estate.
One must be thrifty.
After taking a sip of the fine wine of the human world, the Lord of Guixu said in a calm tone, "The incense of the human world has some power."
"The desires and pursuits of generations, accumulated over a thousand years, are also a terrifying force, but it has its limits."
"This time in the South Sea, it should be quite difficult. Relying solely on this Buddhist incarnation may not be enough to cope with this tribulation." He pondered for a moment, then swept His sleeves, and streams of light flowed out, landing on the table, emitting various precious lights. Jue saw that there were two magical treasures on the table, both faintly intertwined with the void, exuding the aura of the Great Dao. In the void, strands of the laws of the Great Dao manifested, and then, with these two treasures as the core, began to violently ripple.
Jue silently muttered to herself.
In fact, the core of that Guanshi Zizai (Avalokiteshvara) body came from beneath Buzhou Mountain and the turbid qi from the core of the Turbid World Kunlun墟 (Kunlun Ruins).
It was transformed from the extremely pure aura of the Turbid World.
The Buddhist school was merely the style of external power, used to suppress the turbid qi.
But seeing that the Lord of Guixu had actually taken out these two treasures, the girl pondered, and finally chose to obediently shut her mouth.
The Lord of Guixu was in pain.
With a cold and calm expression, He picked up the wine cup and said, "Take these two things for now, to protect your life."
He emphasized the word "temporarily."
Jue lowered her eyes and saw the two items. The first was a branch emitting a turquoise light, filled with boundless vitality. Looking at it made one feel detached from the world, and with each breath, one could feel the continuous spread of vitality. The Lord of Guixu said in a calm tone, "This thing is an ancient tree that grew in the depths of the Great Wilderness, on a mountain where the sun and moon rise."
"Shennong's Shennong Whip was obtained from this."
"This seat once went to pick another part. The vitality is boundless. Although it cannot compare to the Shennong Whip that has been tempered, it is also a superior spiritual treasure. It can both heal injuries, regenerate flesh and bones, and revive the dead. You can also soak it in rootless water. After three hours, the water can be called a panacea, which can greatly activate the injured person's own flesh and blood activity and potential."
"Of course, the stronger the opponent, the weaker the effect of this thing."
"When reaching the first echelon below the Ten Great Peaks, they can all be called Divine Kings, Emperors, Great Sages. The effect of this thing is negligible, even inferior to their own flesh and blood recovery power. But for you, it is enough to make your injury recovery surpass the ordinary second tier below the Ten Great Peaks."
Then He pointed to a lotus seed next to it.
"This thing is a lotus seed that I saw being conceived and born in the core of a world when a world was destroyed."
"Injecting vitality can transform it into a white lotus platform."
"It can be used as a mount, has a certain degree of defensive ability, and can resist qi attacks and shield the secrets of heaven and cause and effect."
"If it really doesn't work, you can also smash it down directly. Ordinary methods are absolutely difficult to contend with such weight."
One is used to heal injuries, and the other is used to protect oneself and move quickly.
They are indeed things to protect one's life.
It seemed that in order to match the identity of Guanshi Zizai, the mount was also chosen to be a lotus flower. The Lord of Guixu said in a calm tone, "This time is quite dangerous. With these two treasures, you can at least protect your life, find out what happened, wait for you to return, and then return these two things to me."
He paused, then pretended to be calm and generous and said, "Guixu has ten thousand realms. There must be rewards for merit and punishments for demerit."
"As long as you make enough contributions this time."
"You can choose any one item."
Jue nodded.
After thanking Him, she swept her palm across the table and first put away the lotus seed.
The Lord of Guixu picked up the wine cup, His movements graceful and calm.
It's just that the wine in the wine cup was trembling.
Jue said, "This time's goal is..."
The Lord of Guixu said slowly, "Most likely, it is the Turbid World."
"!!!"
Jue said, "Isn't the South Sea the domain of the Fire God Zhurong?"
The Lord of Guixu said in a calm tone, "No, that will eventually be the domain of my Guixu, and Zhurong?"
He sneered, "Being bound by emotions will only weaken the power of the gods, only make Him have weaknesses that should not exist, and eventually be led into traps and dead ends step by step. Foolish, foolish and unaware."
"Divine grace is like the sea, divine might is like a prison."
"Both grace and power must be used to rule the common people."
"Emotions will only interfere with judgment, lose equality, and without the spirit of bearing all living beings and despising everything, one is not worthy of this power. This time, you observe the situation. If there is an opportunity, you can hover in the middle and try to obtain part of the authority of the South Sea and bring it back to my Guixu Great Ravine so that we can further control the Four Seas."
"If possible, let Zhurong sleep forever."
"He is not qualified to be one of the Ten Great Peaks."
The Lord of Guixu said in a calm tone.
He did not care that He looked down on Zhurong, and that He wanted to backstab Zhurong.
After a pause, He said, "But there are special circumstances."
"Special circumstances?"
Jue asked back.
The Lord of Guixu finished the wine, put down the cup, and when He got up, the black sleeves and hem of His clothes moved slightly. He said slowly, "First, you must not cooperate with the Turbid World."
"Even if it's just pretense, you must not!"
"Second."
"Take the authority of the South Sea as the primary goal."
"But if there is an opportunity to severely damage the Turbid World, then there is no need to worry about other things."
"If you can kill one of the Ten Great Peaks of the Turbid World, you can directly use that lotus seed and the full vitality of the vine to forcibly awaken Zhurong's true spirit consciousness, restore Zhurong's vitality and strength, and join forces with all your strength."
"Third."
"If you can bring back the head of a Great Demon God of the Turbid World, you can have anything you want."
"I will directly promote you as the fifth one outside of the Four Spirits Guardians."
The Lord of Guixu lowered His eyes, His expression calm, and said, "This seat wants to step into the Ten Greats."
"The Turbid World should be leveled."
"Go."
He waved His sleeves and walked out slowly, step by step, as if stepping out of the human world, completely different from this noisy and lively human world. He was not in it, not on this shore, not on the other shore, nor in the middle stream. In an instant, He had disappeared, and the people around Him had not noticed the man's arrival, nor had they noticed His departure.
Only the young lady of the wine shop discovered that there was a branch on the table of the guest who came alone, which was a rare sight in winter, verdant and enticing.
The Jue wearing the Bi'an mask thought for a while. It was not appropriate to hold it in her hand, so she put it in her sleeve.
However, her sleeve universe did not have Yuan's skills and cultivation.
She sighed with disappointment and asked the young girl in the wine shop for a slender-necked white porcelain bottle. She casually put the branch into it, and it was still verdant and compelling. The young girl in the wine shop smiled and said, "Guest, this willow branch looks festive. Putting it in this cheap white porcelain bottle always feels a bit unworthy. It should be in a suet jade bottle in Chang'an City to be a good match."
Jue shook her head and said, "There is nothing that is worthy or unworthy."
"On a high mountain, it is this branch. In a porcelain bottle, it is the same. In a white jade bottle, it is still it."
"Since it is all it."
"What is the difference between white jade and porcelain?"
She looked outside, at the noisy crowd. The young girl's attention was also drawn to the lively street outside, and she said, "Every year during the Lantern Festival, the officials will set off fireworks at the end. The fireworks in Chang'an City are naturally the most beautiful and spectacular in the world."
Jue looked outside and thought of what Wei Yuan said when he was covering their retreat: the best wine, the most magnificent fireworks.
She sighed slightly.
She reached out and put down the money, then used her fingers to adjust the Bi'an mask and walked out calmly.
The noisy and lively crowd always reminds people of later generations of poetry.
She hummed softly, "The east wind releases a thousand trees of flowers at night, and blows down even more, like rain of stars. Precious horse-drawn carriages fill the road with fragrance."
"The sound of phoenix flutes moves, the light of jade pots turns, all night the fish and dragons dance."
When the time came, the girl raised her eyes and saw the dark night sky illuminated by the myriad lights of the human world, presenting a noisy and bright feeling. Then fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating it, even more noisy and passionate than before. The girl in the tavern leaned out, saw the unprecedentedly grand fireworks in the sky, and suddenly her eyes drooped.
She saw the previous guest walking against the current in the sea of people.
Her sleeves moved slightly, one hand dragging a slender-necked white porcelain bottle, in which a willow-like strip of paper swayed slightly.
Her black hair fell down, untouched by the mortal world.
For a moment, she was lost in thought.
The sound of clattering suddenly rang out, startling the young lady in the wine shop, and she also returned from the rhyme of going against the current of the human world. She quickly scanned left and right, but could not see the guest just now. She was immediately annoyed and turned around, only to see an old man in cloth clothes, drunk, bumping into the table.
"Old Man Wang, you're drunk again!"
"It's okay, it's okay."
The old man laughed heartily, then took a sip of wine and pointed to the sky outside, saying, "Come, little girl, take a look at the fireworks of today's Lantern Festival, what do you think?"
The girl's eyes lit up and she replied, "It's really good. I've been in Chang'an City since I was a child and watched it more than ten times. Today is the most magnificent!"
The old man laughed.
The wine shop girl said, "What are you mentioning this for? Could it be that you made this?!"
The old man drank, and finally finished drinking. He shook the wine gourd and said, "Yes, I designed the fireworks for this year's Lantern Festival. Heh... but I'm already old. I'm going back to my hometown next year. If I don't complete this agreement, I won't be able to complete it. I always feel regretful."
"Agreement?"
"Yes..." The old man said with a smile and regret: "That was already sixty years ago."
"The Sword Immortal of the Great Tang, heh, Master, once saved me. At that time, I was just a small craftsman."
He said with some drunkenness, his eyes hazy, "He said that he hoped that I could make the most magnificent fireworks and wait for a guest wearing a Bi'an mask. Just say that an old friend invited her to drink a glass of the best wine in Chang'an and see the most magnificent fireworks in Chang'an."
"But I waited and waited, but I didn't wait after all."
"I only hope that this grand fireworks, no matter where, can be known."
The young and lively little girl asked in confusion, "Sword Immortal Master?"
"Who is that?"
"Shouldn't the most powerful swordsman be the Sword Saint and Miss Gongsun?"
The craftsman was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refute, subconsciously wanting to argue until his face turned red like when he was young, and then saw his wrinkled hands, first with disappointment, and then it seemed that he was even more drunk. Suddenly he laughed and tapped the cups with his chopsticks and sang Li Taibai's famous piece: "Heaven and earth are the inn of all things; time is the passerby of a hundred generations. And floating life is like a dream, how much joy is there?"
"Floating life is like a dream, how much joy is there!"
He laughed loudly and staggered out with his wine gourd.
Walking on a deserted and uninhabited path.
The fireworks in the sky are prosperous and noisy, most magnificent and grand.
The girl wearing the Bi'an mask stood on the pagoda of the Da Ci'en Temple, the black hair at her temples falling slightly. Listening to the bells of the Buddhist temple tilting, watching the fireworks in the sky and the human world on the ground.
"The fireworks in Chang'an City are indeed the most magnificent."
"It's a pity..."
It's not you who invited me to see them.
She waved her sleeves, abandoned the mortal world, and went straight into the blue sky, returning to Guixu.
....................
South Sea.
After searching for a long time, Wei Yuan suddenly realized where this thing had gone, grasped the cause and effect, and sure enough, he found the location and direction.
Cause and effect directly pointed to the direction where the white-haired girl was.
No.......
No way.
Not so.......
As long as he thought of something made by mixing the remaining mythical concepts of the Kai Ming cub and clay, Wei Yuan's forehead would break out in cold sweat. What kind of thing would be made?
A sin eating candied haws while stabbing himself in the back?
Or a nine-headed cat cub?
Wei Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth and hurried towards there.
And at this time, the incomparably rich qi of creation, wrapped in the vast vitality and auspicious clouds, all poured into the courtyard where the white-haired girl was, exuding a vast vitality, which made the Taoist's expression stagnant.
Too late!
ps: Today's first update... three thousand eight hundred words, thank you |Sparrow| for the ten thousand reward, thank you~
Wei Yuan's agreement was in Chapter 958. When Gengchen Nuwa and Jue went down the mountain, Wei Yuan said it when he was covering their retreat alone.
