Chapter 285: The cow and horse in the sky, is it the gate of heaven? Is it a dog hole?
Xu Chunlin looked towards the direction of Huishan again, and a milky white ball appeared in his hand. Sealed in the ball was the righteous spirit of a scholar, as well as the thirty percent Confucian luck bestowed by Zhang Fuyao.
Faintly, one could hear thousands of students reciting.
Xu Chunlin smiled slightly, then threw it straight towards Huishan.
Immediately afterwards, a vast aura of Confucian saints rose into the sky.
"Just stay here and wait for my return!"
"Xuanyuan Jingcheng obeys the order!"
---
Zhang Fuyao was the first to arrive. When he saw Xu Chunlin, he was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something.
So he laughed and scolded: "You little rascal, you played a trick well!"
Xu Chunlin shook his head, bowed slightly, and then said: "I still have to thank you for the Confucian luck you have bestowed on me. It can be regarded as adding another Confucian saint to my command."
Zhang Fuyao said, "Since I've given it to you, you can do whatever you want with it. I also believe in your judgment."
While the two were talking, three more people arrived.
Li Chungang, Deng Tai'a, and Hong Xixiang!
Several people looked up at the sky at the same time.
"Xu boy, are you sure?" Zhang Fuyao suddenly asked.
"What kind of confidence do you need? Just go for it!" Xu Chunlin cursed with a smile while looking at the sky.
Several people laughed out loud at the same time, looking up to the sky.
Zhang Fuyao, the saint of the Zhang family, suddenly cursed at the sky at this moment: "Since I, Zhang Fuyao, have been scholars, although we are good at cultivating noble spirit, we have never sought immortality. Get out of here, you motherf*cking heavenly cycle!"
"I have guarded the human world for eight hundred years, and I have watched you immortals bossing around for eight hundred years. Now I finally don't have to be a coward anymore!"
Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun looked at each other and said, "After we enter the Tianmen Immortal Realm, we'll trouble you to guard the gate!"
Li Chungang unsheathed his cold dragon and said with great pride: "There are three million sword immortals in the sky, and they all have to bow their heads when they see me!"
Deng Tai'a's sword is entwined with peach blossoms, which is quite romantic: "I would like to ask the immortals in heaven, who dares to come to this world!"
Hong Xixiang was speechless, and finally uttered a few words: "Leave it to me!"
Xu Chunlin laughed loudly, then spread out his five fingers and pretended to knock on the door. A vast aura as vast as the heaven and earth rushed straight into the sky.
"When an old friend visits, how can we not make an open bed to welcome him?"
I saw the gate in the sky suddenly exploded!
Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun crashed into the clouds. Their bodies flashed and they went straight into the clouds without going through the Heavenly Gate and forced their way in.
In an instant, the world turned upside down.
In fact, the fairyland is not much different from the human world. It still looks like a bustling city, except that there are countless real celestial beings in the human world.
The arrival of the two did not attract much attention from others, as if it was commonplace. After all, it was not uncommon for someone to ascend to heaven every few decades.
Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun walked side by side to a seemingly ordinary downtown area. Various shops and stalls stretched out along the streets. Common people and tourists were everywhere, a mixed crowd. A yellow dog was lying and taking a nap in the low places, and birds were flying around the eaves in the high places. It was a peaceful and harmonious scene in a prosperous age.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw several vendors on my left, some selling jade, some selling calligraphy and paintings, and some selling hairpins, with shouts ringing in the air.
Someone held up a jade stone that looked like a seal and shouted, "I have three seals, engraved with the small seal characters Tianming Jiangshi, Fanwei Tiandi, Youzan Shenming, and Biaozheng Wanfang. If anyone wants them, I will sell them to you for only five taels and three cents today."
Soon, a colleague laughed and scolded loudly: "This thing was worthless 20 years ago. Who are you trying to fool? It's already three cents expensive!"
Someone spread out his hands, and there was a hazy and vague feeling between his hands in front of his chest, as if a scroll painting was spread out, with mountains standing and rivers flowing.
"This "Dafeng Jiangshan Picture" can be taken away with only two coins."
Another pen holder waved his hand, looked at Xu Chunlin with a smile, and said lazily: "For only one cent, I, Wu Gusu, will give you 500 words."
The landscape paintings and calligraphy are filled with the profound Confucian and Taoist truth. The landscape is picturesque, majestic and vast, the brush strokes are like hooks, and each word is majestic.
Soon, another pen holder said with a smile: "One penny for five hundred words is a fair price, but would you like to take a look at the pen in my hand, Han Songshan?"
"One cent and five cents is enough to write twenty years of brilliant writing. I remember a young man from the Jiang family bought one from me in the early years."
In Xu Chunlin's sight, the ordinary old brush in the calligraphy seller's hand was surrounded by two iron trees.
Wu Gusu, the calligraphy master of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Han Songshan was a world-renowned literary giant during the Southern Tang Dynasty.
When he was in the mortal world, he was a first-class talent.
These people intentionally or unintentionally cast their eyes towards Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun with a mercenary and flattering look.
The silver and money here are nothing but the transformation of luck, which is similar to the incense, money and currency system implemented by me and Taishang Daojun in the Heavenly Palace.
Based on the method of condensing incense and money developed by the deity, the gods can use this method to condense the faith, incense and vows in the void, wash away the impurities in them, and transform them into three kinds of currency: incense copper coins, incense silver, and incense ingots.
This kind of incense money can be directly used for the cultivation of the gods in the Pantheon and various local gods, and it is considered a relatively hard currency.
Among them, one thousand incense copper coins can be exchanged for one incense silver, and ten incense silver coins can be exchanged for one incense ingot.
In addition, ten incense copper coins can be exchanged for one small merit, one incense silver is equivalent to one great merit, and one incense ingot is equivalent to ten great merits.
Of course, the difficulty of condensing the three types of incense coins varies, and there are also requirements for the gods.
Among them, the red and white talismans can only condense incense copper coins, the gold and green talismans can condense incense silver, and only the purple talisman can condense incense ingots.
Most of the 365 gods can condense incense silver, and only a very few can condense incense ingots.
It’s just that the incense money and the luck money here are different. One is to harvest the incense of all living beings, and the other is to harvest the luck of all living beings.
Harvesting incense is harmless to living beings, because incense only contains trace amounts of living beings' faith, which are the spiritual overflow of living beings when begging. After being refined by secret methods to eliminate mixed desires, pure and harmless incense money is formed.
But harvesting luck is different. Luck is related to a person's fate. If luck declines, there is no way to be promoted. It is just like keeping people in captivity like cattle and horses.
Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun did not answer and continued to move forward.
There were two people sitting on a small bench by the roadside, playing chess. There was no chessboard or chess pieces, but in front of them, one could faintly hear the sound of horse hooves and the sound of river water.
One person said angrily: "Li Sanhuang, you are so absent-minded, how can you talk with me? Do you really not want that paradise? Forget it, it's so boring! I won't take advantage of others' misfortune, and I will close the market for a hundred years first."
The man opposite sighed, his face full of pain.
Li Mi, the national teacher of Great Chu, whose courtesy name was Sanhuang!
Xu Chunlin and Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun remained indifferent, walking forward step by step with their faces as usual.
On this street, no one is pretending.
This is what is truly terrifying.
If a dragon-loving person sees a real dragon appearing in thunder and circling a beam, or a Taoist priest who subdues demons and monsters sees a ferocious demon rushing towards him, how should he deal with it?
As the two walked slowly forward, they began to hear verbal abuse.
"The Qin Dynasty is violent and cruel, and kills people! How could it occupy such a high position?" But as soon as this was said, someone quickly whispered to stop him, "Master, please be careful with your words! Mortals in the world have gods above their heads, so how are we any different..."
"In just two hundred years, the cultural heritage has been severely damaged. Three hundred years later, the Central Plains will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. Both the Zhao and Xu families are the culprits!"
"It's a good thing this place is not one of those places, otherwise you would have been destroyed long ago!"
"Longhu Mountain should prosper, while Wudang Mountain should fail. When that daring Lu Dongxuan turned around and walked into the mortal world, the incense of Wudang Mountain should have been cut off!"
Amid the crowd's cursing, the yellow bird chirped like a phoenix, the local dog roared like a unicorn, and the cricket screamed like a dragon.
Xu Chunlin suddenly sneered at this moment, knowing that three hundred years later was another destiny plot, and said to Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun: "What do you think is the difference between the heaven and our world?"
Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun also stroked his beard and nodded: "That's right, he was once a romantic man in the mortal world, but now he has become a lackey in heaven, no different from the ants of other creatures. I wonder how much pride he still has left?"
Xu Chunlin looked around and sneered, "Do you still remember the exiled immortal reincarnation of the founder of Longhu Mountain? What's the exiled immortal birth, what's the birth due to the times, in the end, he came back here, isn't it still about seniority?"
"Going to the mortal world, I guess there are two possibilities. If you are unlucky, it is equivalent to being exiled to a remote place in the mortal world, right? Then if you are lucky, it is like the son of a general going to the battlefield to gain military merits?"
"Is it any different for the so-called immortals to fish for the fate of the human world than for the merchants in the human world to do business and accumulate copper coins?"
"Of course, I guess the immortals are still free and easy, with their own paradise as their residence, and they can live forever just by watching the hustle and bustle of the human world. Most of the immortals who have become truly superior people are once and for all."
"But I am very curious, will those who have made great contributions to the Heavenly Dao in the human world also have the situation where their contributions are not recognized here?"
"Will there be promotions and demotions in the imperial court? Will there be immortals who are taking advantage of the power of others?"
As soon as Xu Chunlin said this, it was very strange that the street, which was noisy before, suddenly became dead silent. After that, there were only a few sporadic scoldings such as "bold" and "treasonous".
Xu Chunlin sneered, "Am I not right? In the human world, they are so charming, but in heaven, they are like cattle and horses. The so-called immortals are actually running dogs driven by others. It's really ridiculous!"
"Tianmen, hey!"
"It's just a dog hole!"
"And yet there are still people who shamelessly climb happily!"
"presumptuous!"
A voice that was neither loud nor soft but extremely majestic sounded. It sounded more like a woman's voice and came from the south.
Xu Chunlin turned around and saw her sitting on the roof, solemn and glorious. On her shoulder stood a small red bird with a struggling little dragon in its mouth. It tilted its neck back and swallowed the little dragon down as if it were eating a small insect.
Following her appearance, the entire street soon began to tremble violently. The vibrations intensified and showed no signs of stopping. The movement originated from a tall building.
After the violent shaking that seemed to turn the world upside down, it suddenly calmed down.
There was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow dragon robe standing on the tall building, with the magnificent sight of the rising sun behind him.
As Xu Chunlin walked along, the appearance and clothes of the people he saw were extremely ordinary, except for this man and that woman who were very different from ordinary people.
The center represents earth, and its emperor is the Yellow Emperor, whose animal is the yellow dragon. The south, the Red Emperor, has the Vermillion Bird as its animal.
"You are...Zhenwu!"
The woman frowned and hesitated.
"you guess!"
The man looked at Xu Chunlin with a strange expression, but still smiled and said, "There are indeed many unbearable things in heaven as you said, but there are countless scenes in heaven, and you can't tell the whole world from the scene of a short street now."
"The cycle of nature is not as mercenary and ridiculous as you think. Wait until you come back..."
"Come on, both of you shut up!"
"You keep chirping and it makes me feel annoyed!"
The middle-aged man just laughed it off, seeming a little helpless, and the woman on the rooftop pursed her lips and smiled.
It seems that this is the answer that the rough man Zhenwu Emperor would give.
Xu Chunlin sneered at the two of them, nudged Huang Taiyi Daojun with his shoulder, and asked, "What do you think of this woman? She has been here for so many years, and there is no one around her who understands her. How about you take her in?"
"Take her in?"
Zhong Huang Tai Yi Dao Jun shook his head and said, "I don't even have a physical body. I have the will but not the strength. What can I do but watch?"
"Besides, you can see that she's got... Anyway, I don't have this fetish."
As the two were whispering, the woman blushed, and whether she was angry or anxious, she shouted angrily: "Zhenwu!!!"
Xu Chunlin joked, "What's the matter? Why don't you let people tell me? I remember that you've been pregnant since the Qin Dynasty, but the baby hasn't come out yet. Aren't you ashamed?"
"How about I take the loss and take you in!"
"hiss!"
Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun took a breath and said, "No, you can even eat this?"
Xu Chunlin rubbed his hands together, not looking disgusted: "Anyway, she only has a ball of luck in her belly. At most, I can use the Tianpeng fighting method to collect it!"
Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun gave a thumbs up and said, "You are still tough! You are strong enough to win!"
If Zhonghuang Taiyi Daojun remembers correctly, the phoenix egg of Sister Luan that turned into a spirit and was fought to death by Zhu Ganglie in this way.
Wow, the boomerang is back!
The four great saints of the North Pole are all like this...
"No, no, no, if we talk about the best, it still has to be you!" Xu Chunlin praised.
"Hey, hey, so high and hard, same to you!"
The Chidi woman was furious at the two men's dirty talk. She stood up, covered her belly with one hand, and said angrily: "You northerner, how dare you do this?"
"The rituals and music of the human world are collapsing. The fetus in my womb should be born in accordance with the laws of nature. If you dare to take it, if the laws of nature really won't collapse, even the mortals in the human world know the simple truth that a thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant hole!"
Xu Chunlin was extremely domineering, saying: "Then just destroy him, I will repair the sky by myself, a man will stand tall and proud, you women can just watch the show, I guarantee you will not get into any trouble!"
"you………!!!"
The Yellow Emperor interrupted the conversation and said with a smile: "Zhenwu has become even more unpredictable since he came to the mortal world!"
"But, I have one more thing I want to ask."
"You, Qingdi, and Baidi's auras have all disappeared before. Now Qingdi and Baidi are even more invisible. May I ask where they went?"
"Does it have anything to do with you, Zhenwu?"
As he spoke, there was a hint of danger in the eyes of the Yellow Emperor man as he looked at Xu Chunlin.
"How about it being about me?"
"So what if it has nothing to do with me?"
Xu Chunlin looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.
