In the distant memory.
Under the light.
A child held Grandpa's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, Grandpa, do I want to hear a story?"
This child is only seven or eight years old. He is pink and jade-like, round and cute. He is at his most innocent and innocent age and is very lovable.
It's just that he has two sharp horns on his head, which have just emerged from the outline, and he doesn't look like a mortal.
The man he called grandpa was already in his seventies or eighties, with gray hair but a strong body. He also had horns on his head, as straight as a sword.
He couldn't stand being dazzled by his grandson, so he had to say: "How about I perform a shadow puppet show for my grandson?"
"Yeah, grandpa, what story do you want to tell me?"
The old man smiled kindly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's play a part about Monkey King causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace."
"Yeah!"
The curtain was lowered, the lights were placed, and several shadow puppets were placed behind the curtain. The light shined through, revealing shadows that looked like palaces.
Everything fell into place, and there seemed to be a moment of pause, as if it was brewing.
On the opposite side, the little boy rested his chin with his hands, his eyes bright, and his face looked expectant.
The next second, everything in the field of vision came alive.
Above the simple curtain, there seems to be a Nine Heavenly Palace, filled with gods, golden dragons flying in the sky, and colorful phoenixes flying.
Then I heard the grandfather's slightly deep voice slowly sounding out, as if it was thickened by time, telling a story.
"By the way, the Hades King and the Dragon King came to the Jade Emperor one after another to accuse Sun Wukong of causing trouble in the Dragon Palace and the underworld.
The Jade Emperor was about to send heavenly soldiers and generals to the human world to subdue Sun Wukong.
At this time, Taibaijinxing came out and gave the Jade Emperor an idea. He said that it would be better to give him an official position and trap him in the sky. The Jade Emperor agreed and ordered Wenquxing to write an edict, asking Taibaijinxing to invite Wukong to heaven. . "
On the screen, in the Lingxiao Palace, the King of Hell and the Dragon King came to the Jade Emperor one after another to complain, causing the Jade Emperor to be furious and wanted to send people to the human world to capture them.
Another old man with white hair came out, gave a few words of advice, took a book of seals, and went to the world.
This can no longer be said to be a performance, but an immersive movie, as if you have really entered the story and become one of them, watching the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly Palace and watching the changing situation.
The young children were so mesmerized by the sight that they could not extricate themselves!
After playing for a long time, I heard the grandfather's voice getting louder.
"In a fit of anger, he took out his golden cudgel, fought his way out of Nantianmen, returned to Huaguo Mountain, and proclaimed himself the "Monkey King". He also made a big flag and placed it on Huaguo Mountain.
When the Jade Emperor heard that Sun Wukong had returned to Huaguo Mountain, he immediately ordered King Li Tianwang and the Third Prince Nezha to lead troops to capture Wukong.
Unexpectedly, within a few rounds of fighting between the vanguard officer Giant Spirit God and Wukong, the Xuanhua Ax broke into two pieces.
Nezha was so angry that his hair stood up. He shouted, transformed into three heads and six arms, and fought Wukong with six weapons.
Wukong didn't show any weakness. He transformed into a man with three heads and six arms. He fought with Nezha for a long time with three golden cudgels, but there was still no winner.
Wukong secretly plucked out a piece of hair and turned into himself, fighting Nezha. However, his real body went around behind Nezha, raised the stick and started beating him. Nezha couldn't dodge and was hit in his left arm. He was so painful that he didn't even bother to fight back, so he turned around and ran away. "
On the screen, in the illusion, the young child saw the Monkey King, the Monkey King, wielding a golden cudgel, and magical powers with three heads and six arms. The most powerful thing was that the heavenly soldiers and generals he defeated fled in all directions.
Come and try it quickly. 】
The giant spirit god general Wang Lingguan and the great god Nezha of the Three Altar Sea Association were just like bereaved dogs, running away in embarrassment, their blood was boiling and their little faces were flushed.
Another moment and three moments later, I saw the monkey being attacked by Lao Jun, pressed down on the Immortal Killing Platform, struck by lightning, slashed by swords, burned by fire and drowned in the water. I felt anxious and worried.
After another hour and three quarters, I saw the monkey jumping out of the Bagua furnace, kicking over the alchemy furnace, carrying the golden hoop, and went to the Lingxiao Palace, shouting: "The emperor takes turns, come to my house this year." "
The child clenched his fists and suppressed his blush, as if he was about to rush forward and fight the enemy like a great sage.
…
…………
The "havoc in heaven" lasted for an hour, and finally ended when the monkey was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. It was already late at night, and the child could hardly open his eyes.
But he still snuggled in the old man's arms, dancing and dancing to show that he wanted to be the great sage, turning the world upside down, the sun and the moon losing light, and even if he was captured and killed in the end, he would not regret it...
But after a few moments, the little guy finally got too sleepy. Before he closed his eyes, he asked one last question: "Grandpa, please tell me, there are really abodes of gods and immortals in this world, there is a heavenly palace, there is that... The four heavenly kings guarding the Nantianmen, as well as the giant spirit general, the tota king, the three altars of the sea, the great god Nezha, and the great sage Monkey King, Monkey King?"
The grandfather just held his grandson in his arms, tiptoed, patted his back, and smiled without saying a word...
The memory was like ripples in the water, and when it finally subsided, he returned to the present world again. The man's field of vision became focused, but his confusion did not diminish.
Many years ago, when he grew up, he already knew that the story his grandfather told him was just a story.
It’s just like the stories countless grandparents tell when their grandchildren cry and can’t sleep.
But now, he was listening to the Heavenly Court reappearing in the human world, the familiar Nantianmen, and the story of the one who increased the Heavenly King's Sword to slay the Demon Immortal.
He is also a little confused now.
Could it be that what grandpa said is true and he is just ignorant?
…
His vision was restored and his thoughts were suppressed. The man in charge finally lowered his head again. He looked at Tu Su who was kneeling on the ground and finally said: "Yai Sui, do you know you are wrong?"
Tu Su trembled all over and said, "Yai Sui, I know I was wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"The mistake was that I had a great responsibility but did not follow the mission. I lost my life and military supplies. I violated the trust of Lord Long and it also affected the plan of mending the sky."
The submissive man sighed quietly: "You still haven't realized your mistake!"
Tu Su gritted his teeth and said, "Can you please give me some instructions, Mr. Long?"
"Your fault is that your level is too low and your strength is too weak. Your fault is that your strength is too weak and you have too many ambitions.
If you are a true Martial Saint, you can capture the people of Tianting within the palm of your hand, and then complete the task of Yunzhou, which will be two great achievements. Even if you ask me to lead your horse and buckle for you, it will be fine. "
The voice of the submissive man was really not loud, but when it fell on Tu Su's ears, it was like thunder from the sky: "But you are too weak, as weak as an ant who still tries to gain everything, but ends up with nothing.
So, you accept the punishment? "
"Please show me, Mr. Long, I can bear the wretchedness."
The man in charge narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will punish you to serve a hundred days in the oil pot hell. If you can come back after a hundred days, I will give you another chance."
"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Long?"
"After all, you have brought back the news from Heaven, so you must reward me. If you can come back in a hundred days, I will allow you two options.
First, you can enter the reincarnation platform and live another life.
I allow you three drops of the Three Lives Stone Dew. Whether you can solve the mystery of the womb and restore the memory of this life depends on your own destiny.
As for this second path, I can help you take the path of ghost cultivation. With your innate spiritual strength, there will be a stage of rapid progress and you can form combat power in the shortest time.
But you know the difficulty of cultivating ghosts yourself, and there is no need for me to say anything about it. "
Tu Su said without hesitation: "I choose the second option."
The man in charge squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Have you thought clearly?"
"I've thought about it clearly. Although ghost cultivation is difficult, reincarnation will no longer be me after all.
Only the path of ghost cultivation can keep my memory intact and my spiritual wisdom from falling asleep.
But in heaven, no matter what, I have a debt that needs to be repaid. "
Tu Su said this with gritted teeth.
"Retribution must be meted out. Your character is worthy of being rated as the second son of the dragon."
The man in military uniform tilted his head slightly and said, "That's it. You know where to go, so just go."
"Yai Zhui, please leave!"
Tu Su kowtowed again, stood up, took a few steps back, and then floated away like clouds of smoke.
And when his figure completely disappeared from the palace, the man in charge slowly withdrew his gaze. His expression was still indifferent, but he didn't know what he was thinking about there.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Yai Zhen was defeated, but Yunzhou's plan cannot be changed. The Xinghe Sword Sect must be destroyed. I want you to go to Yunzhou.
I wish? "
A gust of cold wind blew by, and there was already another person in the hall. He was kneeling on one knee, his head lowered, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his figure was extremely thick.
A hoarse voice accompanied his opening and surrounded the hall: "I am willing!"
"How sure are you?"
"If it was me who went there before, it would be a sure thing. But now, if it is still the previous plan, it will definitely fail!"
"Oh?" The subdued man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Tell me what you think?"
"According to the previous plan, destroying the Galaxy Sword Sect is more than enough. The situation in Kyushu has been disrupted, and the general trend has been achieved.
But the general trend is not eternal and always changes with time.
The great trend has been achieved, but it has not taken off for a long time. Naturally, it will decline again and again, and it will be exhausted three times.
Looking at the Xinghe Sword Sect, although there are not many true sword immortals, there are quite a few Yangshen Daxiu who have reached the killing power of sword immortals. There is also little internal fighting and a clear division of labor.
If you want to say that they know nothing about the Butian Sect and are unprepared, that is really an insult to their intelligence.
If it had been before that Yaizi had not wasted any time and had had enough time, then everything would have turned into ashes under the general trend.
But now, I estimate that the Galaxy Sword Sect's counterattack is coming soon, and when I arrive, everything will be a foregone conclusion. "
This analysis was so logical and well-founded that even Lord Long couldn't help but secretly nod his head after hearing it.
"So? What help do you need?"
The man in charge opened his mouth, paused slightly, and then said: "Materials are easy to talk about, but manpower, as you know our situation, the sky is tight, and there are not many that can be mobilized."
Under the main hall, the half-kneeling man finally raised his head. His face could only be described as ordinary, and he was one of those people who would never take a second look in a shameful crowd, but those eyes,
Those eyes are extremely unique.
It's not that it's very beautiful, but it has an unspeakable sense of fanaticism, as if you are facing a madman.
"Long Jun, we are short of people, but there are some people who are not short of people. For example, Lord Yama who is eating and drinking in the side hall."
"Yam Luo? Do you want to..."
The man in Gunfu frowned slightly, as if he already understood what he wanted to do, but finally nodded and agreed: "Over there, I will go and talk to him in detail, it shouldn't be a big problem.
but……"
After a pause, the submissive man's tone suddenly became serious: "Xiao Feng, you must not take any risks when you go here."
The third son of the dragon, mocking the wind, looks like a beast, and likes to take risks.
"I will obey the Dragon Lord's decree!" Chaofeng promised seriously, but the enthusiasm in his eyes did not fade at all.
The matter was settled, so Xiaofeng resigned, but when he was far away, a voice sounded in his ears.
"From now on, we should pay close attention to the movements of the Heavenly Court."
"I want to know, is someone pretending to be a ghost?
Or, as Tu Su guessed, are those ghosts from the sky outside the sky manipulating people's hearts? "
