When Guan Yu returned to the Heavenly Court and came to Taisu Palace to see Fang Jian, the heavenly soldiers on duty said: "To report to Lord Xie Tianzhen, Emperor Hongqing is not in Taisu Palace today."
Guan Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this and said, "Where did Emperor Hongqing go?"
Tianbing said: "Recently, the Golden Mother of West Kunlun Yaochi has selected some new fairies to supplement the female officials of Taiwei Yuqing Palace. Empress Wushan is conducting examinations on these fairies on the Xingliu Platform. Emperor Hongqing was invited by Empress Yuluan to go there. Went to watch the ceremony at Xingliu Terrace."
Guan Yu heard this and said: "Aren't there always enough female fairies in Taiwei Yuqing Palace? Why do we need to add more?"
The Heavenly Soldier said: "Mr. Xie Tianzhen doesn't know. Thanks to the kindness of the Jade Emperor, if any of the female immortals want to resign to the lower realm, as long as they have served as officials for ten thousand years and have excellent evaluations, they will be allowed to resign from their official positions in the lower realm." For Sanxian."
Having said this, Tianbing looked around, and then added in a low voice: "This is also to prevent fairies from always wanting to go down to the mortal world. It is better to give them a time limit. When the time limit is up, they can resign and go down to the world as loose immortals."
"That's it." Guan Yu nodded and said, "The Great Heavenly Lord is merciful."
Few of the fairies in heaven were cultivated from the lower world. Most of them were enlightened by the essence of fairy spirits, or they became immortals directly after the death of holy maidens in the world. This is the same as promoting fairy officials.
This is why most fairies have feelings of longing for the mortal world, and because their lives, immortal status and even everything are given by heaven, they have no freedom except being fairies in heaven.
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Then I will come to Taisu Palace to see you in a day or two."
The heavenly soldiers quickly shouted: "Xie Tianjun, please go slowly."
Guan Yu turned to look at the heavenly soldiers and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Tianbing said: "Emperor Hongqing has given instructions. If there is something important, you can go directly to the Xingliu Platform to see him. There is no ban there."
After hearing this, Guan Yu smiled and said: "I see, thank you for reminding me, then I will go to Xingliu Terrace to meet Emperor Hongqing."
Then Guan Yu left Taisu Palace under the courtesy of the heavenly soldiers and went all the way to Xingliu Terrace.
The Xingliu Terrace is located in the Taiyuan Shangqing Palace, where Fang Jian was originally located when he was in charge of the Haotian Palace.
At the same time, on this Xingliu stage, Fang Jian was drunk by the former Taiyin Xingjun.
However, although today's Xingliu Terrace is not as lively as in the past, it is still lightly covered with incense tents and rolled up bead curtains. The jade platform at the top of the Xingliu Terrace is half-covered by rows of jade-white bamboo curtains, and only three people can be vaguely seen. Sit in it.
The two people at the top sit side by side, and there is another person sitting at the bottom.
Around the Xingliu Platform, there are rows of female fairies who are playing fairy music. They play various musical instruments and play enchanting fairy music.
In the center of the Star Stream Platform are the newly selected fairies. They are wearing different fairy clothes and fairy skirts, and they are twisting their beautiful figures hard in the surrounding bursts of fairy music. Dance a graceful and beautiful dance.
Fang Jian was wearing a Miluo Golden Que Taoist robe. He leaned slightly on the table with his right arm and picked up a crystal clear grape from a jade plate with his left hand and put it in his mouth.
Feeling the soft and juicy pulp of the grape fairy fruit melting in his mouth, Fang Jian's thoughts suddenly jumped from the fairy world in front of him to the underworld.
Yes, the Underworld. Recently, Emperor Fengdu of Northern Yin has submitted the "Yin Law" of the Underworld to the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion.
Sun Wukong held another meeting in Taishang Yuling Palace and reviewed the entire "Yin Law" with the four emperors of Lingxiao.
However, Fang Jian believed that there were still many omissions and unknown things in "Yin Law". However, because he was not an immortal official from the underworld system, he did not put forward opinions rashly, but kept thinking on his own.
Just when Fang Jian was thinking about "The Law of Yin", a soft call suddenly came from his ears: "Fang Jian, Fang Jian."
Fang Jian came back to his senses and turned around to look, only to see Yu Luan's phoenix eyes looking at him with concern, so he smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong?"
Yu Luan asked: "What were you thinking about just now? So obsessed?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "What's wrong with some small things?"
Yu Luan raised her bare hand, pointed to a little fairy on the right side of the dancing fairies in the middle of the Xingliu Platform below and said, "Look at her, I think she dances the best."
Fang Jian looked up and smiled. This little fairy looked very young. Although Fang Jian could tell at a glance that she was more than two hundred years old, her appearance was the same as that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Moreover, she was wearing a dark blue fairy skirt, with only four skirts covering it from the knees down, faintly revealing her white and petite legs. When she danced, she jumped like a little bunny, which was very cute.
"It's okay." Fang Jian just glanced at it and looked away, then picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
When Yu Luan saw Fang Jian like this, the smile on his face suddenly faded slightly and said: "Fang Jian, I see you sitting in Taisu Palace and busy every day, so I took you here today to watch the fairies singing and dancing. It’s relaxing, don’t you like it?”
Fang Jian looked slightly surprised when he heard this. He quickly put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "I like it. I love the fairy music and dance."
After saying that, Fang Jian sat upright and looked at the Xingliu Platform again for a closer look.
Only then did Yu Luan smile again, and moved her position closer to Fang Jian without leaving any trace, and did not stop until their arms touched.
And below, Yaoji, the empress of Wushan in the Taiwei Yuqing Palace, had no idea what was happening behind her. Instead, after watching a dance, she picked up a jade tablet from the jade case in front of her and said: "Yi Qu, play "Nine Songs."
Soon, two fairies walked out of the curtain holding jade tokens, walked down the Xingliu stage and came to the teams playing fairy music on both sides. They hung the jade tokens on a rack that looked like a half-moon, and said: "Zhongshe Ren ordered, the immortal music was changed, and the "Nine Songs" were played."
Soon, the melodious and quiet fairy music of "Nine Songs" played on the Xingliu Platform, which made Fang Jian's ears clear. It was like a spiritual spring water flowing through his ears, clearing away all distracting thoughts and filth.
At this moment, Guan Yu walked outside the jade platform, and a fairy opened the curtain and invited Guan Yu in.
"My lord, I would like to ask Guan Yu, Lord Tianzhen, to pay homage to Emperor Hongqing, and to pay homage to Empress Yuluan." Guan Yu bowed his head in greeting.
"Pingshen." Fang Jian smiled.
Guan Yu thanked him and stood up, while Yu Luan picked up the tea cup with an expressionless face.
Fang Jian smiled, and Yu Luan's expressionless face was the biggest expression, which told you that she was unhappy.
But business matters were more important, so Fang Jian immediately stood up, nodded to Guan Yu, then turned and walked towards the backstage of Xingliu Platform.
Guan Yu immediately followed him, and the two of them walked out of the curtains of the Yutai one after another, and walked to the backstage of the Xingliu Platform, watching the nine-colored clouds and nebulae changing in the Great Luotian.
"Has it been interrogated?" Fang Jian asked Guan Yu.
Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Not yet, the Tianfa Department of Dongfang Cangtian has not been completed yet."
"Have you investigated the source of the evil spell?" Fang Jian asked again.
Guan Yu nodded and said: "After I captured Xia Yingqiu, I went to his sect again and investigated Xia Yingqiu's cave. I didn't find anything unusual."
Fang Jian nodded, and then said to Guan Yu: "You can then go down to the next world and go to Central Juntian."
"Emperor, has something happened in Central Juntian again?" Guan Yu asked.
Fang Jian said: "Recently, many people who use evil arts have appeared in the world of Jambu, not just monks."
"What? Not just monks? Does that mean there are also mortals?" Guan Yu suddenly asked in surprise.
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Go to Central Juntian and confront them to see if they are all of the same type of evil spell."
When Guan Yu heard this, he looked solemn and said: "Is there anyone else who wants to cause chaos in the Three Realms?"
Fang Jian said calmly: "I'm afraid it's not simple. Let's find out the matter first."
Guan Yu immediately bowed and said: "Yes, I will go to Central Juntian immediately."
Then Guan Yu said goodbye to Fang Jian, turned around and left the Xingliu Platform.
Watching Guan Yu leave, Fang Jian returned to the jade platform. When he sat down again, Yu Luan asked: "What happened again? Is it serious?"
Fang Jian smiled when he heard this and said: "All kinds of things happen in the three realms every day, but fortunately, they don't affect me watching the fairies dancing today."
"Bah." Yu Luan burst out laughing, then looked up at Fang Jian and said, "You are just saying that to comfort me, right?"
Having said this, Yu Luan pointed to the fairies below who were dancing again and said: "Look at these little fairies, they are all pure and lovely, delicate and beautiful, but your eyes have not stayed on them for more than three breaths. above."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately chuckled and said, "I'm not here for the beauty pageant. Just watch the dance. What should I watch them do?"
"Hehe." Yuluan smiled, then lowered her head to think about it, and then said: "I want to go to the lower world for a walk in a while, can you go with me?"
"Going to the lower realm?" Fang Jian looked at Yu Luan in surprise and said, "What are you going to do in the lower realm?"
Yu Luan said: "Go and travel around the vast world of the lower world to gain more insights for the Great Emperor Juntian."
"Oh?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that Juntian, the Great Emperor, is missing something in his retreat?"
Yu Luan nodded and said: "Taiyuan Taoist reestablished the avenue and took back many of the avenues that the Great Emperor Juntian had proven, so now we still need to supplement it with the understanding of the world and the world gained through experience. I am the incarnation of the Great Avenue of the Great Emperor. If I were Any insights will be attributed to the Great Emperor himself."
"That's it." Fang Jian nodded, and then asked: "When will you go down to the next world?"
Yu Luan looked at Fang Jian and said, "Within three months, right? Can you go with me?"
Fang Jian immediately pondered when he heard this. He had a lot of things on his hands, and he really couldn't get away from them.
But he couldn't refuse the Great Emperor's matter and Yu Luan's request. In the end, he could only nod and said: "Then how about I accompany you to travel for more than ten days?"
"More than ten days?" Yu Luan pursed her lips, but quickly said with a smile: "Okay, more than ten days, just more than ten days. You are a busy person, so I will inform you in advance before going down to the next world."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and smiled.
The trees are green, evergreen all year round, surrounded by peaks, shaped like a city outline, with thousands of elixir ladders and winding paths leading to seclusion, winning for its tranquility.
This is Qingcheng Mountain. There are many people in the upper and lower reaches of Qingcheng Mountain, and the incense is flourishing. It is also a paradise of cave heaven that has recovered quickly after the calamity.
On the cliff in front of Qingcheng Mountain, there are many pavilions and pavilions. These are places where Qingcheng Mountain is used to receive practitioners who want to stay.
Bai Suzhen was dressed in plain gauze and white clothes, with a graceful and graceful appearance. She gently pushed open the small carved window and looked down with her hands on the window sill.
It was just after the rain, and the clouds and mist inside and outside Qingcheng Mountain were like a slowly unfolding ink painting of the world.
Suddenly, a sweet song floated up from the mountain gate below along with the clouds and mist, and reached Bai Suzhen's ears.
"Cultivation of this body for thousands of years in Bai Suzhen Cave at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain."
Bai Suzhen burst out laughing when she heard this song. At this time, a handsome man also wearing a white Confucian shirt came behind her, it was Xu Xian.
"Madam, this song seems to be singing about you." Xu Xian put his hands on Bai Suzhen's shoulders and said.
Bai Suzhen gently shook her waterfall-like black hair, and then said with a smile: "It must be some opera troupe performing "The Legend of White Snake" again."
Having said this, Bai Suzhen stretched out her right hand to gently catch the raindrops falling from the sky, feeling the cool aura of the mountains in the early morning.
"I have only been here in Qingcheng Mountain for six days, and I have already been suppressed by Leifeng Pagoda twelve times, right?" Bai Suzhen said.
Xu Xiandao: "If there are two games a day, that's twelve times. You're okay, you just got suppressed twelve times. I've already been scolded bloody by those spectators. What a heartless person, coward, and scumbag."
Before Xu Xian finished speaking, Bai Suzhen was already laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. She suddenly became interested and turned around and said, "Ms. sir, let's also watch a game of "The Legend of White Snake"? I always listen to it from a distance like this." How boring."
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Then the couple turned into two smoke clouds and flew down from the sky, and used magic power to cover their faces. In this way, mortals see them as two extremely ordinary faces, and only other immortals can see their true faces.
The two landed on a platform by the lake in front of Mount Qingcheng, where the opera "The Legend of White Snake" was being performed.
But as soon as they appeared, the couple felt something was wrong, "Huh? Madam, why does that girl look so like you?"
When Bai Suzhen heard this, she also raised her head and looked at the woman playing Bai Suzhen in front. Then she looked slightly strange and said: "This little girl also has some skills. She is just starting out. She can be described as magic transformation."
Xu Xian took a closer look after hearing this, and sure enough, the woman who played Bai Suzhen was indeed a bit virtuous, and the reason why she looked like Bai Suzhen was precisely because she used magic power to change her appearance.
Naturally, her method could not hide it from the two immortals, but Xu Xian realized something was wrong, "How did she know that Madam White Snake looks like this?"
"I don't know either." The white lady was also very confused. Is there an acquaintance here?
At this moment, a man watching the theater next to Xu Xian suddenly said: "Everyone knows what the White Lady looks like."
"Ah?" Xu Xian looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He was a mortal with no magic power in his body.
Seeing the surprise on Xu Xian's face, the man took out a painting from his sleeve, unfolded it and said, "Look, this is the portrait of the White Lady and the Qing Lady."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at it intently, and then they were shocked. In fact, there were not only Qing and Bai in the portrait, but also Xu Xian's portrait, but the man deliberately ignored it.
The figures on the portrait are very clearly drawn, and they are basically the appearance of Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen, and Cen Biqing.
"Who painted this portrait?" Bai Suzhen asked quickly.
The man pointed to the upper left corner of the portrait and said, "Look here, there is the signature of the master."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at the signature and saw seven big characters written on it: I love to watch The Legend of White Snake.
"." Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other, and then asked, "Where is that master?"
The man raised his hand and pointed to the bottom of the platform behind him, and said, "It's at the umbrella gallery. You can see it when you go."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen stopped watching the show and immediately turned around and walked towards the bottom of the platform. After walking hundreds of steps, they finally came to the umbrella gallery covered by a piece of oil paper umbrella. Sure enough, they saw an old monk sitting on the wall. While telling people's fortunes, he also presented him with a hand-painted portrait of "The Legend of the White Snake".
"Fahai!" Seeing this old monk, Bai Suzhen immediately called out his name through gritted teeth.
Then Bai Suzhen stepped forward and came directly to Fa Hai's desk. Xu Xian followed closely behind, holding Bai Suzhen's shoulders tightly with both hands to prevent her from being impulsive.
"Monk, do you like to read The Legend of White Snake?" Bai Suzhen came to the table and asked Fa Hai, who was immersed in interpreting the hexagrams.
Fahai said without raising his head: "That's good, that's good."
But after saying that, he felt something was wrong. He quickly raised his head and saw Bai Suzhen, whose face was filled with evil spirits.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't be impulsive." Fahai said quickly: "This is Qingcheng Mountain."
Bai Suzhen said coldly: "You also know that this is Qingcheng Mountain, Daomen Immortal Mountain, why are you, a monk, coming here?"
"Fellow Taoist, since you are here to save all sentient beings, why bother worrying about whether it is a Taoist celestial mountain or a Buddhist celestial mountain?" Fahai said with a smile.
Bai Suzhen was about to retort, but then a huge thunder suddenly exploded in the sky on Qingcheng Mountain, shocking all the tourists around them to scream.
As this huge thunder sounded, the sky of Qingcheng Mountain soon became dense with dark clouds and gloomy winds gusted, and then a stream of divine power came out from the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, accompanied by bursts of eerie and majestic gongs and drums.
"Gongs, ghosts and drums?" Fa Hai said in a solemn voice, listening to the sound of the gongs and drums.
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly and said, "It seems to be coming from below Jianfu Palace."
Then Bai Suzhen ignored Fahai and went directly to the front mountain with Xu Xian to check outside Jianfu Palace.
When the two of them came to the gate of Qingcheng Mountain and looked at the Jianfu Palace on the left, their expressions suddenly changed slightly.
I saw that the square in front of the Jianfu Palace was already filled with the Yin soldiers and ghost generals from the underworld. The four great judges and the ten Yin commanders all appeared outside the Jianfu Palace, and they all looked solemn and solemn.
"Something happened in the underworld?" Bai Suzhen said to Xu Xiian in confusion.
Xu Xian was stunned and silent. There was such a big battle in the underworld. The four great judges and the top ten yin commanders appeared in Qingcheng Mountain with so many yin soldiers and ghost generals. They must not be here for tourism, right? Something must have happened!
