Chapter 16: Dan Furnace
The moon does not cover the stars, and the shadows of the trees are swaying, swaying like demons.
The back of the green shirt is straight, the long knife hangs obliquely, and the shadow is accompanied by the bright moon, not to the left or to the right, gradually moving away, and gradually disappearing.
Twenty years of rivers and lakes, once life and death.
............
The familiar statues of mythical beasts and fairy birds, the familiar white marble floor tiles, the familiar mist is all over the sky, the familiar central pillar of light, and the familiar reincarnation square are once again displayed in front of Meng Qi's eyes.
But today, the mood is no longer the same, not afraid or excited, just quietly watching.
The Avenue Tree has been recovered, and there is no need to exchange the rest.
A pillar of light rose up, and Zhao Heng, who was wearing the robe of the Yellow Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stepped out, he had two more black beards on his lips, his eyes and temperament were mature and introverted, his majesty was revealed, and the emperor's weather was dark, which had changed a lot from ten years ago.
When Zhao Heng saw Meng Qi, he was not surprised, he was not puzzled, but with a smile, he walked up to Meng Qi like a tiger, raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slowly hit it.
Meng Qi's eyes were still a little dead and hidden, but his expression softened, he smiled slightly, and his right hand followed the fist, and Zhao Heng's fist struck each other in mid-air.
Syllable!
"We can fight side by side again!" Zhao Heng withdrew his hand and said with a smile, his words were concise, without greetings or inquiries.
Although the interval of ten years did not bring unfamiliarity, everyone made changes under the wash of time, and Zhao Heng was obviously silent and majestic.
Meng Qi was just about to speak, and two pillars of light fell, Jiang Zhi was slightly apricot and yellow, holding a long sword in her hand, the same brightness, the same generosity, the same firmness and arrogance, she was the one who changed the least, or she had already experienced the polishing and washing of the dead pass.
Ruan Yushu still looks to be in his twenties. The white dress is dusty, cold and refined, the hair bun is pulled up, and the guqin is hugged horizontally, it is really like a Guanghan fairy descending to earth, but the immature innocence in the eyes between the eyebrows has all disappeared, and it is becoming more and more floating, as if it will fly up to nine heavens in the blink of an eye and leave the world.
She glanced at Meng Qi and looked at his pale sideburns. The eyes are still black and white, but the eyes are getting deeper and deeper.
She didn't speak, she put Qi Fengqin away by herself, raised a food box in an elegant posture, and then walked in front of Meng Qi, slowly squatted down, put the food box on the ground, opened the lid, and never looked up. Whispering like a piano:
"Yunni date cake...... Dragon's Claw Explores the Clouds...... Demon Crab Soup...... Stewed bamboo shoots...... Arowana five eat ......"
Plates of dishes and snacks were brought out and filled in front of Meng Qi, Ruan Yushu's movements were neither fast nor slow, which coincided with the introduction in his mouth.
Meng Qi watched quietly. Listen intently, and be at peace with your body and mind.
"These are the delicacies you had last time. Ruan Yushu raised his head and looked at Meng Qi, his lips biting unconsciously lightly. His eyes were bright and he was hopeful, "But this time I did it myself." ”
Meng Qi clenched his right hand into a fist. I touched my lips, my eyes closed and opened, and I sat down cross-legged and raised my chopsticks to taste.
"This time, the Yunni date cake is newly made today, and it has a little more natural gas than the formation has been preserved, and it is more and more fragrant......
"The dragon's claw explores the cloud bone crispy and smooth, after eating the cloud mud date cake, there will be a strange fragrance, and the beauty is indescribable......"
"The demon crab soup does not take crab roe and crab paste, and is specially boiled with two big turtles......"
Ruan Yushu said similar words one by one, her tone was rippling with joy, Jiang Zhiwei and Zhao Heng were watching with a smile on the side, she has practiced cooking for ten years, how can no one appreciate it?
Meng Qi ate very slowly, concentrated on tasting, and finally ran out of dishes.
"Better than last time. Meng Qi put down the bamboo chopsticks and praised solemnly, with a faint smile on his face.
The corners of Ruan Yushu's mouth were slightly hooked, the pear vortex was looming, and his smile was very reserved and cold.
With the current realm, strength and accumulation of previous reincarnations of several people, there is no need to exchange them before the task, and those that can come in handy have to complete exclusive tasks, which are difficult to save emergencies, and good deeds are mostly used for accumulation, and items such as deductions and divine weapons are prepared for the deduction of tasks.
The four of them sat cross-legged, Jiang Zhiwei talked about the interesting experiences of the previous missions, and Zhao Heng and Ruan Yushu added from time to time, the atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful, with a touch of timelessness.
Just when Meng Qi thought that life would continue to be beautiful like this, the light and shadow in front of him changed, and the indifferent and ruthless voice of the Lord of the Six Reincarnations sounded in his ears.
"After the fall of the heavenly court, taking advantage of the Buddha's annihilation, the demon saint who made a breakthrough led the great sages and many demon gods to kill into the core of the Pure Land of the Pure Land. ”
"Main quest: Return to Lingshan, find the final whereabouts of the Great Sage Demon Gods, succeed, reward 15,000 good deeds, and deduct the corresponding good deeds if you fail. ”
"Side quest: Investigate the truth of the battle of Lingshan in the past, succeed, reward the elixir of creation, and there is no punishment for failure. ”
When the words disappeared, Meng Qi and the others had already seen the environment they were in, this was a dilapidated Daxiong Treasure Hall, full of traces of the erosion of time and the destruction of external forces, an incense case was placed in front of it, the sky above it was empty, and the surroundings were dim and dark.
"This is the Daxiong Treasure Hall ...... get the green lantern in front of the Buddha," Jiang Zhiwei identified the place.
This place can be regarded as deep into Lingshan!
Although Zhao Heng had never been here, after knowing the mission, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu both told him about their experiences in Lingshan, and he was no stranger to them.
Looking around, Zhao Heng suddenly sighed: "It turns out that Lingshan really has something to do with the Pure Land. ”
This is also what Meng Qi thinks in his heart.
Moreover, the reward of the side quest is the elixir of creation, which can assist the spirit and flesh to become a dharma body, although it does not play a decisive role, but it can effectively reduce the risk of failure.
At this moment, rewarding this elixir, the six realms are really ill-intentioned......
As soon as I thought of it, the situation in the hall was fully seen, and there was no special place after the green lantern in front of the Buddha.
The four of them no longer hesitated, and cautiously stepped out of the temple gate.
As soon as I came out of the palace gate, I saw lightning and thunder in the depths, green lotus blossoms, flashing and appearing, opening and letting go of the world, the nebula galaxy, a mountain peak with the thickness of the mountain hoop stick that topped the world and supported the earth stood proudly in it, and a loud cry shook like thunder, shaking the ages:
"My grandson will not cultivate the next life in this life!"
Meng Qi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly closed his eyes and listened attentively.
And in the background of the sound of binge drinking, a stream of resentment rushed into the sky, endless, and the voices rose one after another, gritting teeth:
"Ananda!"
............
Thirty-three days away, the spirit grass and strange flowers are everywhere, and the fairy birds and beasts are leisurely.
In the ordinary palace with the plaque of "Tushi Palace", an old man in Taoist costume sits in front of the gossip furnace with his eyes closed, as if it has not changed for thousands of years.
Suddenly, the golden-horned boy next to him got up and looked down:
"It's Xiniu Hezhou again!"
"Is it ......?"
He turned around and saluted, and asked in disbelief, "Master, don't you care?"
"Let him go. "The old man in Taoist costume has a childish face and does not open his eyes.
"Why, why ......," the silverhorned boy said blankly.
The old man in Taoist costume opened his eyes and sighed:
"The end has come. ”
He pointed his hand, and the gossip furnace opened, and a terrifying light rushed straight into the sky, penetrating the void, penetrating the crystal wall, and rushing into a dead universe.
Squeak and rattle, there is no breath of life, the universe on the verge of destruction shakes, the illusory river is highlighted, and a little bit of light flies out, deriving the past.
First, an ark shuttles between wormholes, looking for planets that can live again, but all the stars are "extinguished", destroying the satellite planets.
The entire universe was silent, and no one responded to the cry of the ark.
The energy source that can be found is getting less and less, and the "starmen" in the ark gradually die, and eventually, it is like a silver-gray metal coffin, loaded with the "corpse" of a prosperous civilization, forever floating in the infinite darkness, unable to find a home.
Looking back in time, there are different civilizations in the countless river systems of the universe, some can cross the galaxy, some can only live on planets, some gods protect and colonize many planets, some are constantly migrating, and countless insects are destroying the vitality of one planet after another...... Wars broke out again and again, leaving behind the most powerful civilization......
Further back, there are fewer and fewer civilized planets, more and more primitive, carrying wooden sticks, polishing stones, wearing animal skins, while the stars are vibrant, some planets are still forming, formless matter is condensed, and gods are being nurtured.
The waves flickered, returning to the original, never-ending storm of energy and expansion, and chaos to the extreme.
In the midst of the brilliance, this universe is getting smaller and smaller, and together with its past and destined future, it is thrown into the gossip furnace in the form of "past, present, and future", silently and without interest.
The lid was closed, the brilliance disappeared, and the Dan furnace shook suddenly.
An image scroll flew out of the lap of the old man in Taoist costume, deducing the diagram of Tai Chi, erecting the golden bridge on the other side, and wrapping the Dan furnace tightly!
The Golden Horn Boy and the Silver Horn Boy both lowered their heads, not daring to face it, what this furnace pill would practice, it was completely unimaginable, the breath alone made people tremble, but the two of them knew one thing clearly:
The name of the one in the Dan Furnace was once extraordinarily prominent!(To be continued......)
