Fire Cloud Cave.
Jiutian Xuannv came here after leaving the ancient Shu Kingdom to play chess with her former disciple Xuanyuan Huangdi. This time it lasted forty-nine days.
Xuanyuan was speechless. This matter had nothing to do with him. However, Jiutian Xuannv sat there and refused to leave. As a disciple, he couldn't chase her away and could only accompany her.
Seeing that she had been sitting for forty-nine days without feeling tired, it seemed that she could sit for another forty-nine days.
Fuxi, who had been using the excuse of seclusion, could only come out to see each other.
"I already know everything you asked me to do." He paused: "In the past, Emperor Xihuang Fuxi got guidance from Senior Yuanfeng under the sycamore tree, and then he took Fuxiqin made of sycamore trees. Speaking of which, Emperor Xihuang indeed owed Feng The family has a cause and effect.”
He means to draw a clear line. What does the relationship between you and Fuxi, the demon clan, have to do with me, Fuxi, the human clan? However, Jiutian Xuannv knew that this person was a kind person and would not default on his debts, so she waited patiently for his next step.
Fuxi really couldn't be as shameless as Zhunti, and thought for a moment: "Providing support for the elderly is something that our three emperors wanted to do, but failed to do it in the end. She did a good job. Nowadays, the fortune of the south is getting stronger and stronger. It seems to be God's will." Feng Clan... I can tell my sister about this matter. As for whether it succeeds or not, and whether that person can finally escape the catastrophe of the world of mortals, I will not guarantee it."
Jiutian Xuannv nodded lightly: "Yes."
...
Nandu City.
Uncle Biao was busy guarding the city, and Deng Chanyu had nothing to do, so she continued to dress up as a young man in white and wandered the streets, looking for inspiration to combine the flames and the five-light stone.
There are dense waterways in Nandu. She strolled to a river. Thinking of the scene of picking up five-light stones a few days ago, she took the horse and stopped to watch by the river.
Looking at it, I found an old lady not far away.
The old lady's clothes were shabby and her face was full of wrinkles. She was holding an iron rod as thick as a bowl and grinding it on the stone "Duang, Duang".
Deng Chanyu: "..."
Auntie, you have also traveled through time, right? Are you a Tang Chuan or a Song Chuan?
She only knew that in Journey to the West, there was a real Ziyang who attained Taoism in the Song Dynasty, and then traveled to the Zhuzi Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty to give sweaters to some empress. Unexpectedly, there were also time travelers in Fengshen!
Full of doubts, she loosened the reins, asked Biaozi to go aside to drink water, and walked over slowly.
Regardless of whether it's a chance or not, it's just a few words, nothing to lose.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
The old lady was a bit deaf, so she had to say it twice before she could hear it clearly.
"Old woman, I want to sharpen an embroidery needle for my married daughter."
Deng Chanyu secretly curled her lips and confirmed that this was probably the old lady who had traveled from the Tang Dynasty and had not yet met Li Bai.
"You don't need to grind..."
The old lady was very stubborn: "No, you are a smart girl, are you trying to persuade me? Hey, as long as you persist, there will always be..."
Deng Chanyu interrupted her: "No, I mean you don't need to grind. It's just a street away. Do you know the Deng's Chamber of Commerce over there? Rice, flour, oil, needles, thread, and other things are all given away for free. You can go Get it over there. This iron rod is quite thick. Keep it well. You can still use it if you want to hit someone or something in the future. Do you think this is true?"
old lady:"......"
It's you! I just want to hit you!
The old lady was also quite quick-witted and quickly changed her rhetoric: "If someone else gives it to you, it's someone else's blessing. I heard that this is called sincerity and spirituality, so that my poor daughter can live in peace." In this life, this is the only thing I, an old woman, can do for her, as long as I work hard enough, I can grind an iron pestle into a needle!"
Deng Chanyu was speechless. After going around in a circle, she still asked the old lady to say the famous saying.
She didn't speak anymore, but stood quietly, watching the old lady "DuangDuang", rubbing it slowly step by step.
Not to mention, there was a strange rhythm between the old lady's movements and stillness, as if there was some truth in her. Her previously impetuous heart due to the advancement of her avatar slowly calmed down.
"Old man, let me help you sharpen it."
The old lady seemed to have been waiting for her words. She stood up and handed her the big iron rod directly.
Deng Chanyu tried her best to pick up the squirting train, trying to see if she could quickly wear it off. Who knew, as soon as the iron rod touched the stone, the strength in her arm disappeared like a stone cow entering the sea, and the iron rod just fell from the surface of the stone. After rubbing it lightly, her fingers slipped and she missed her grip. The iron rod almost hit her particularly sensitive toes.
"Huh? How strange..."
The first time she encountered this situation, she didn't believe in evil, so she sharpened it again, but it was still the same. It seemed that when she sharpened the iron rod, she became an ordinary person again.
Although she didn't have any premonition of chance or cause and effect, she knew that what she encountered today was certainly unusual, and the iron rod and stone were probably some kind of magic weapon.
She held her breath and carefully realized the friction between the iron rod and the stone, and slowly discovered a little clue. Her power did not disappear, but was resolved by the stone in a strange way.
She restrained her strength, tried not to let the stone dissolve, and then increased her strength little by little.
Then I recalled the state of movement and stillness when the old lady was grinding needles. Is that yin and yang? Or the Five Elements? There is too much basic knowledge missing, so you can only rely on guesswork.
Even if she felt that her physical strength was unlimited, she would grind an iron rod against a stone like a fool, but she would still be exhausted.
When she looked up again, she found that it was already dark. She had spent four hours without realizing it.
The old lady who was dry and thin before has now turned into an old woman wearing a gold and green silk jacket, a colorful goose yellow embroidered skirt, and high-soled floral shoes.
The old woman had a kind face. She pointed at the iron rod and said word by word: "When the iron pestle is ground into a needle, you can come to Lishan to find me."
With a burst of light smoke, the old woman disappeared, leaving Deng Chanyu in a daze and Biaozi resting in the distance.
Lishan? Old lady Lishan? Mother Lishan? !
That Lishan mother who made the three great Buddhist figures Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra consider themselves juniors?
Deng Chanyu rubbed her shoulders and sharpened the iron rod for a long time. Her arms were sore, but she was more excited inside.
Lishan's mother is of a very high seniority. There have been many speculations in her past life. It is suspected that this old lady who likes to recruit female military generals as disciples is the clone of a certain saint. And it seems that there is only one female saint these days...
Are you really the most outstanding female general of this era? Has even Lishan’s mother noticed him? She had the urge to put her hands on her hips and laugh twice, but finally resisted.
I don’t know why the other party came to me, but I have to hug this thigh.
"Biaozi! Wake up! Wake up quickly! Go back to Xiao Qiao and ask her to get me some food. I won't sleep tonight either, so I'll just be grinding needles here!"
She wanted to move the stone away, but it didn't work. The stone seemed to have grown in the ground. Not to mention the strength of her arms, she estimated that even the strength of tens of thousands of pounds would be useless. This thing couldn't be moved at all.
You can only grind here!
I didn’t say anything, grind it!
