Amidst the sound of fairy music, huge cranes flew down in groups.
The priest stood in the clouds and read the name.
The first thing I thought of was the old man I met today.
"Xiong Youzi Zhengsi."
The young official had already opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance through the gaps under his clothes.
The person who stood up following the voice was indeed the old man he had talked to on the road today.
A crane flew down to pick him up.
The divine light almost illuminates the ground.
The young official held his breath.
I could only hear the priest on the cloud continuing to read: "Xiong is worried and Xiong is thinking. After returning home in middle age, he spent half his life doing good deeds, saving thousands of people, and accumulated countless virtues. He died in the waves because of fighting floods and disaster relief. I remembered that when I was young, I had a martial arts and profound In gratitude to the local people, he was temporarily named the Priest of the Ministry of Water."
The old man got on the crane and flew away into the sky.
The priest read the second word again.
"Zhou Zimin..."
As the name fell, the person who stood up was actually a young official who had drank, sang, and read poems with the young officials in the evening. This young official suddenly changed his body and appearance. After the priest finished speaking, he After describing his life's meritorious deeds and being awarded an official position, he bowed respectfully, mounted the crane and ascended to the sky.
The divine light shot out from the sky gate above the head and almost enveloped the entire Zunzhe Mountain, making the Zunzhe Mountain look particularly extraordinary.
The crane circled upward along this divine light, flying higher and higher.
With each level higher, the gods sitting on the crane's back seemed to change. When they flew above the clouds and were level with several priests and heavenly soldiers and generals, the original "ghosts" seemed to have been transformed, and waves of emanations began to emit from their bodies. When the divine light came, his clothes and appearance changed.
The young official was stunned for a moment.
No wonder this man said that he couldn't drink at night. When everyone roasted the dried meat and offered it to him, he refused to take it. He only talked about the moon and the moon, recited poems and talked freely. He appeared very cheerful and talkative, with an out-of-the-box personality. I'm afraid that for a young official, Even if he didn't get any advice from Song You and still maintained a high degree of suspicion and looked at everyone like a god, he wouldn't be suspicious of him.
All I can say is that these gods are indeed extraordinary.
No wonder he can become a god...
"Xuanhezi..."
The young official who stood up at this moment was even more surprised.
It turned out to be the fat, pot-bellied official I met on the road, and the two leg lifters beside him.
And not an official.
But one of the leg raisers.
I saw the foot lifter transforming into an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with white beard and hair. Then he blew a breath, and no matter the fat official, another foot lifter, or the bamboo chair, they were all contained in this breath. It turned into blue smoke and disappeared. As the priest finished reciting his life merits and priesthood, he also mounted the crane and ascended to heaven.
As expected by the young officials, they all became gods because of the floods in Fengzhou and Yaozhou.
Because of the flood, they all serve in the Ministry of Water.
Among them, the Taoist had the highest priesthood, and he also held a relatively important-sounding position in the Ministry of Water. This was probably because he had practiced Taoism during his lifetime.
The young official watched quietly, staring intently, but he was not envious or jealous. He was more grateful that he had climbed mountains with such a virtuous person, talked together, and even had a good time. He was also excited that he had seen what ordinary people would do in their lifetime. Extraordinary scenes that can only be heard in stories and read in other people's books. Not to mention that life has become extraordinary because of it. At least this trip is extraordinary and worthy of it. It is also funny that these gods try to prevent their identities from being discovered by mortals. , each of them really shows their unique abilities and is extremely interesting. Even if it is written into a story or book and shown to others, they will probably find it ridiculous.
I am even more grateful to Taoist Song.
If it weren't for Taoist Song, how could he have seen this.
But I don’t know if Taoist Master Song is watching this scene at this time, and I don’t know if Taoist Song will find this scene as interesting as himself.
However, at this moment, the old Taoist priest who was flying away on the crane lowered his head and glanced, but suddenly smiled:
"There are still people awake..."
The young official was stunned for a moment and quickly did not dare to move.
Although I know that these are virtuous people, and gods will definitely not harm others easily, I am still afraid that some god will come down from the world, politely talk to me, and then blow on me, and I will fall asleep in a daze. In the past, I had a rare good night's sleep, and when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything.
That would be worse than being beaten by a god.
As a result, he only saw the old Taoist looking past him and looking behind him.
That is the direction of Taoist Song.
…
The methods these ghosts who are about to ascend to immortality come up with in order not to be seen or disturbed by mortals are naturally interesting, but Song You doesn't find it interesting at this time, because he has already seen through these "" The true face of "quasi-gods" and all their disguises, whether they were transformation techniques or acting skills, were all seen by him, and he even took the time to observe them. It was already interesting at that time, and there was no need to wait until now.
Naturally, he sees things differently now.
During the day, I felt the aura and mystery of this place. I interacted with the mountains and rivers here and the heaven and earth here. I roughly understood why this place is "closest to the sky" and why the gods went up here for the first time. Now that I look at it again, I can naturally see it more clearly, which is also a kind of confirmation.
It seems that the past heavenly palace and the future underworld have similar cohesion methods.
There are also five directions of earth in the Heavenly Palace.
The Venerable Mountain has a part of one of them, maybe a small part, maybe just a bit of gravel, which makes the heavenly palace closely connected with the mortal world, just like a door leading to the heavenly palace.
Today's gods are both new gods and minor gods. They do not have a wide range of believers. The meager incense is not enough to condense their gods and dharma bodies for them in a short time. Therefore, they can neither find the way to heaven nor reach heaven. Because of their ability, they had to go up from here for the first time to the sky, and at the same time, they relied on the divine light of the Heavenly Palace to condense the gods and bodies for them. Once you have the Dharmakaya of a spirit, you will be considered a spirit. If you go to heaven via this road that comes from the same source as the Heavenly Palace, you will be considered "recognized" by the Heavenly Palace. After that, you don't have to go up here to go to heaven.
Mortals can also ascend to heaven from here.
Song You even vaguely felt that even if ordinary gods did not take these five roads to heaven and only traveled between the heavenly palace and the mortal world through temples and statues, they were still related to these five roads to heaven.
While he was thinking, the old Taoist priest glanced at him.
It must be that they met on the road and were both Taoists. The old Taoist paid more attention to Song You and knew that he had cultivated Taoism. When he ascended to heaven tonight, he specifically looked for him to see if he was asleep. .
Of course Song You didn't sleep, so there was no need to cover up.
Just watch it, who doesn’t want to watch it?
Seeing the old Taoist sitting on the back of a crane on his way to heaven, he smiled and looked at him. He also touched his boy's head, stood up and bowed.
The girl was ignorant, but she imitated him and stood up to salute.
At the same time, the priest on the cloud and the other two immortals who ascended to heaven also followed the old Taoist's gaze and looked at Song You.
The leading priest was immediately startled.
Looking left and right, I feel a little relieved, but I can't help but put away the fairy pen and divine decree in my hand, and salute below:
"Why are you here, Your Excellency?"
This person is the pen-picker beside Emperor Chijin. It seems that he is not only a close confidant of Emperor Chijin, but also often does things related to the appointment and dismissal of the Tiangong priests.
"Traveled here."
"..."
The priest's eyes flickered a few times, and he continued to ask: "Isn't your Majesty in Yeshan? What is the purpose of coming here?"
"The matter of Yeshan is over. I will naturally continue to travel around the world. To the south is Yaozhou. This Zunzhe Mountain is a famous mountain in the world. How can we not come and see it?" Song You looked at him calmly, "Or, I think you think I Should I specifically avoid this place?”
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
The priest's eyes still flickered.
At this moment, the crane carrying the old Taoist had already flown above the clouds. The divine light helped the old Taoist condense the divine body. The road to heaven also helped him gain recognition from the heavenly palace. The priest saw the final result of his visit. A god was already in place. Although he was still uneasy, he decided not to ask any more questions and just reported the truth to the Emperor of Heaven. He cupped his hands and said:
"The little god is here to guide the virtuous and sages on earth to serve in heaven. After that, he will confer priestly duties with them. He has a lot to do, so he won't disturb your noble master's purity and elegance."
"Walk slowly."
The gods flew away on cranes and clouds, and the music of the gods gradually became fainter.
The clouds came over again and covered the moon.
The pavilions and towers in the sky gradually disappeared, the gates of heaven slowly closed, the divine light disappeared without a trace, and all the scenes in the sky were like mirages, which quickly faded away when blown by the wind. It was replaced by the illuminated red clouds between Tianbian Mountain and the clouds, and a ray of red light shot out, reaching the Venerable Mountain.
The entire Mount Venerable was dyed red.
Gradually some people woke up, or woke up with a start. When they saw this sunrise scene, even if they didn't wait for the gods to ascend to the sky last night, they were still pleasantly surprised. They quickly woke up their companions or new friends, so some people kept waking up suddenly from their deep sleep. , I quickly woke up in a short period of time, watching the sunrise in the distance, jumping around in the mountains, or cheering.
It seemed that in just a short period of time, the mountains changed from silence to noisy, and the world also changed from night to dawn, so fast that the young official was caught off guard.
When he stood in the crowd cheering for the sunrise, he straightened up and looked into the distance. The Taoist priest he met on the road was already packing his bags, and the little girl was diligently helping him.
The quilt bag was quickly placed on the horse.
The Taoist turned around, smiled at him and saluted him through the noisy crowd, then turned and left.
The young official seemed to be still a little sluggish and had not come to his senses, or he had no intention of catching up and asking for details, so he just stood there, handed him over, and watched him leave.
"Brother Wei, what are you looking at?"
"No...nothing..."
"Haha, you and I are so lucky! I heard that the sun rises only sixty days a year on this venerable mountain. Even though we didn't wait for the gods to ascend to the sky last night, we were able to see the sunrise. The rays of light reflected the venerable master, so he was lucky!"
"yes……"
The young official slowly withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, my heart is full of emotions——
Even if you tell everyone about what happened last night, not many people will believe it, right?
Thank you to the leader of "Feng Sha Forever" for bowing and showing your chest!
