After Qi Jingzhi said this, he smiled sarcastically at Feng Zixu.
To be honest, he accepted Ban Nu as his mount and rode it for less than two days before arriving at the Xianyu Xuandu Cave Heaven. After that, he saw less and less, and allowed that guy to have fun in Qihe Valley for a month.
There is a natural affection between master and servant, but when they were about to set off, Qi Jingzhi saw that his master was worried about him a lot. Not only did he give him a lot of nagging instructions, but he also gave him green tea for fear that he would be hungry or sick. Sha Pingxiao Bird and Cinnabar Little Pill Furnace...
The young man who had lost the love of his parents since childhood felt like he was falling into a dream. His heart was filled with joy and sourness for a moment, and he was so full that he could not remember anything.
"Oh, but when you see the new guy smiling, how can you hear the old guy cry?" Feng Zixu couldn't help laughing.
She pointed at the wing-shaped iron shield on her disciple's back, and spoke with the same yin and yang tone as always: "Although it is human nature to like the new and dislike the old, I just didn't expect that you, a little crane, are so heartless that you only got crane shoes today. , and immediately left my old friend behind..."
After being teased by his master, Qi Jingzhi was rare and did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, his smile became even brighter.
He immediately started joking: "Master didn't know something, so he just forgot to bring Bannu with him. But if there is no Zouwu flag, it is impossible for Lord Langya to get angry and take the Zhuowu of Chenyuan with him." The Governor's Office has been abolished. As a result, my disciple will no longer be able to serve as a battalion captain!"
Seeing that his disciple was obviously cheerful for some reason, Feng Zixu was surprised but also a little happy.
She nodded softly and said: "Originally, you already had crane shoes. When your cultivation level reaches a high level in the future and you can enter and exit Qingming by yourself, this mount will become dispensable and it will gradually become a spirit." Pets and the like. Many of the alien species that live and multiply in Qihe Valley come from this way."
"But Bannu is indeed different from ordinary spiritual beings. He has a flag beside him, and he may be a big help to you in the future. This old man should be coaxed when he needs to be coaxed..."
Qi Jingzhi always felt a little awkward when he heard the remarks made by Master Xuandu about "new people" and "old people".
But before he could figure it out, Taiqing Tiancha had already turned back and went to the bottom of Qihe Valley to pick up the tearful black and white tiger-striped beast.
Seeing that it was so loyal to its master, Qi Jingzhi felt very sorry and comforted him with kind words.
Feng Zixu, however, just stared at Bannu with a half-smile, frightening the slave so much that he leaned into his master's arms.
Speaking of which, due to the existence of the calamity of heaven and earth, Qihe Valley seems to be full of vitality and vivid aura, but it is actually not a good place for the spirits who have developed spiritual intelligence.
Although Ban Nu has no worries about eating and drinking in the valley, he can be recognized by Zuowu Banner and his spiritual sense is naturally good. I am afraid that he has noticed something wrong a long time ago. He is even more concerned about Feng Zixu, the real master of Qihe Valley. Have fear.
There were no more twists and turns this time. The two of them left the Immortal Feather Xuandu Cave and retraced the path they came from, following the silver waterfall of the Milky Way formed by the stars.
Feng Zixu inquired about the location of Songling County, Huaide County, Linzhou in Qi State, and immediately calculated it and found that it was not far apart.
In just over two hours, in the deep night, Taiqing Tiancha flew over Xiaosong Mountain, an inconspicuous branch of Linshan Mountain.
Qi Jingzhi had never thought before that when he saw Xiaosong Mountain's vast expanse of pine waves under the moonlight again, he would actually be looking down from the sky.
Even though he knew that his grandpa was not at home now, his heart was still pounding. In addition to being uncontrollably excited, he also felt a bit of home-like timidity.
The mountain forest below looks both familiar and unfamiliar. It is the old mountain where the boy was raised.
Therefore, there are pines and moons in the mountains, and clear brilliance can be seen everywhere.
"Well, this Linshan Mountain is quite extraordinary. No wonder Linzhou is named after this mountain."
Feng Zixu had roughly seen the shape of Linshan Mountain in the sky before, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Qi Jingzhi nodded and said: "There is a Linde Pavilion set up by the Demon Suppressing Academy Huntiansi in Huaide County. It is extremely tall and majestic. It is far inferior to similar pavilions in many state cities. I think the imperial court really cares about Linzhou." It’s very important.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the cruel implication of the Lord of Da Qi on the Linshan Mountain God family, and added: "It was the Linshan Mountain God family that committed a crime and was uprooted a few years ago, resulting in the entire Linshan Mountain God family. There are no mountain gods."
"Not necessarily?"
Feng Zixu disagreed, and stretched out his hand to point into the distance: "Although the divine light in that ancient temple is very weak, it is closely connected with the earth's veins, indicating that this mountain range already has an owner, what else can it be if it is not a mountain god? "
Following the direction pointed by his master, Qi Jing's eyes lit up with candlelight and he looked far into the distance.
A look of surprise quickly appeared on his face, and he hesitated: "If my disciple is not mistaken, it is a Moon Mother Temple hidden deep in Xiaosong Mountain. But that temple has been abandoned for a long time, and the statues in the hall are even more... It collapsed a long time ago, and not even a bit of divine power is left. The disciple's long sword was obtained from the statue of the god."
"oh?"
Feng Zixu seemed to be interested: "Moon Mother Temple...could it be that some mountain spirit and wild monster took a fancy to it and came to occupy the magpie's nest? Since the mountain god already lives in that ancient temple, so does it with you. Neighbor, would you like to come over and visit us?”
Without waiting for the young man to answer, Taiqing Tiancha suddenly turned around and headed straight for the Moon Mother Temple.
Qi Jingzhi opened his mouth, but remained silent.
He knew in his heart that the master was worried about him, fearing that the temple would be an evil neighbor that he would not deal with.
At the same time, he did have doubts and wanted to find out.
"If there are any mountain spirits and wild monsters in Xiaosong Mountain, the first one is Senior Mandrill. Is it possible that this former servant of the mountain god is now a guest and has been promoted to a god in the Moon Mother Temple?"
"But no matter who lives in the temple, who occupies the sacred position of Xiaosongshan like this, is it possible that the Songling County Underworld Bureau is just sitting idly by?"
The sky in Taiqing was like wind and lightning, and it flew close to the ancient temple in the mountain in an instant.
To avoid making too much noise, Taiqing Tiancha still hung high in the sky, covering itself with crane clouds and did not lower its height rashly.
The two masters and apprentices lowered their heads and looked down. They saw that the main hall in the middle of the temple was in disrepair or was damaged. A large piece of the roof collapsed, as if a skylight had been opened.
The moonlight fell into the hall through the open gap and shone on a huge statue of a god carved in white stone.
The carving of the statue was so poor that it could only be seen to be an ape.
A group of mountain wild monkeys gathered around the statue in a chaotic manner. They were of different sizes and fur colors, but they were all worshiping the white ape stone statue.
Qi Jingzhi's eyes were filled with excitement and his eyesight was very good. He saw that the white ape stone statue on the throne clearly had two legs, and it definitely did not look like the old mandrill who only had one recurved one leg. He couldn't help but feel more doubts in his heart.
Feng Zixu suddenly let out a sigh, pointed at the stone statue and asked, "Xiao He'er, do you see that he is holding a stone box in his left hand, and is he holding two stone pills in his right hand?"
Qi Jingzhi used all his eyes to identify it carefully, and then nodded and said: "The carving is too poor. If the master hadn't mentioned it, my disciple would have thought it was a square brick and two walnuts!"
Feng Zixu immediately chuckled: "That's right. What's carved in his left hand is not a square brick, but a golden cupboard and jade box. What's in his right hand is not walnuts, but two sword pills."
"This white ape has quite an origin. It is said that he is from our Taoist sect. His name is Yuan Gong, and he is also known as Baiyundong Lord. Oh, although there is also the word Baiyun, Baiyundong has nothing to do with Baiyun Township."
"Mr. Yuan Gong of Baiyundong?" Qi Jingzhi was surprised when he heard this, and immediately remembered something.
In order to celebrate the birthday of Jiao Po Long Mu, he bought a four-color longevity fruit and a food box. The food box was engraved with a picture of "White Ape Offering Fruit". According to the shopkeeper, the ape immortal in the painting who is kneeling on the ground to offer fruits and learn Taoism from his teacher is called Lord Baiyundong.
With this thought in Qi Jingzhi's mind, he heard Feng Zixu continue: "After Mr. Yuan successfully became a disciple, he had to teach the art of flying swords. His most famous treasure is a pair of male and female flying swords, which are the two swords." pill."
"As for the Golden Chamber and Jade Box, it is said that it contains the Book of Ruyi, which records one hundred and eight Taoist methods of transformation. Thirty-six major changes correspond to the number of Tiangang, and seventy-two minor changes correspond to the number of earthly evil spirits. It has the magical effects of moving heaven and earth, fighting ghosts and exorcising gods."
"The Taoist lineage...the one hundred and eight Taoist methods of transformation?" Qi Jingzhi became more and more curious the more he listened.
He couldn't help but interject: "My disciple once saw a painting called "White Ape Offering Fruit" by chance. In the painting, Lord Baiyundong was worshiping a female fairy as his teacher. There are different opinions about the identity of the female fairy. From what my disciple has heard, there are three versions: Yanhuang’s birth mother, Yin Lord’s chief disciple, and the most sage master of military strategists.”
Feng Zixu then smiled and said: "Just like our lineage of Xianyu Xuandu has been passed down as the vicious crane god under Tai Sui Xingjun, many people with great supernatural powers and sects with long inheritance have some specious legends in the world. .”
"According to the orthodox records of the Taoist sect, Baiyundong Lord's master is Xuan Mushi, also known as Jiutian Rennv Empress, Jiutian Xuanmu Tianzun. She is a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West in Taiyin and is responsible for the secret code of heaven and earth in the West Lingyao Pond."
"As the saying goes, if something happens, a disciple will do his duty. After becoming a disciple, Mr. Yuan took over the responsibility of guarding the Book of Wishful Desires. This is where the golden cabinet and jade box in his hand come from."
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly: "A disciple of the Great Sage of the West Lingyaochi and Taiyin Queen Mother of the West? What my disciple heard is that he is the eldest disciple of the God of Yin Lord... Could it be that the Yin Mother enshrined by the Taoist sect is one of the Eight Lords? Are the Yin Lords in God the same great god?"
Hearing this, Feng Zixu showed a strange expression on his face, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "So my teacher just said that the legends in this world are always specious, or they are caused by mistakes, rumors are passed down, or some people intentionally For that..."
"The so-called Eight Lords of Gods were secluded in the Biluo Palace and deliberately created in Jiang Feng of the Eastern Wasteland. The purpose was to weaken the influence of the ancient innate gods, change customs, and reform human nature and evolve new laws."
"King Wu Chengsheng decreed to confer the title of God of Yin Lord in order to divide or even replace the belief of Yin Mother in the Dao Sect. And because the Donghuang Dao Sect is still there, let's rub each other's hands and make Jiutian Rennu, the disciple of Yin Mother, It is logical and not surprising that he became the chief disciple of the God of Yin Lord."
Qi Jingzhi was quite stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help but ask: "Wouldn't it be true that Biluo Palace has greatly offended those ancient innate gods by doing this? Xiaogushan is one of the four holy places, and it is also the gateway to the Eastern Wilderness Taoist Sect. Leader, you actually let it go? And our Xianyu Mountain..."
Hearing this, Feng Zixu suddenly straightened her pretty face, squinted her eyes, and said coldly: "Qi Jingzhi, between the two identities of a descendant of the Jiang clan and a disciple of the Taoist sect, please choose one today!"
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it carefully, then smiled casually and said: "My disciple is mistaken! To be honest, senior Ding Lingwei is also a descendant of the Jiang clan. Tiantai Mountain is one of the Dagu Mountains. Lord Langya was born in the Jiang family of Zheng. Aren’t you still the leader of the Bihai Immortal Sect?”
"Sage Jiang and Taoism have long been one of you, and one of me is you. How can they be clearly separated? My disciple was so worried before!"
Feng Zixu glared at his disciple: "I like to think about something all day long! Regardless of the infinite wilderness, this secular world is the territory of acquired creatures after all, and among them, the human race is the most prosperous. Small and large orphans Both the mountain and our Xianyu Mountain have been controlled by the human race for a long time, so how can we have a life-and-death feud because of the secular beliefs of a mere place in the Eastern Wasteland?"
"As for the Wuji Wilderness, there are two ancient emperors, Emperor Hong and Emperor Chao, as well as many human emperors and saint kings who control it. Those ancient innate gods don't need any mortal faith at all, so how can they care about these?"
"What's more, Biluo Palace is somewhat shameless. Except for the military leader Chi You, the other seven masters only have titles but no names. They don't say yes, but they don't say no either. After a long time, it just became vague."
The Master of Xuandu Temple paused and seemed to think that this matter was actually a bit funny: "What my master said are all statements passed down from generation to generation in Xianyu Mountain. As for the inner story, I am not the one who can delve into it. By the way, mention it. This military leader Chi You actually has a connection with the Nine Heavens Rennu Empress..."
"In the legend, Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli Tribe in the East. He and Emperor Yan have the same surname as Jiang, and they both have the head of an ox but a human body. He felt that the human body was weak and his claws were disadvantageous, so he prayed to all living beings in the world and created a spiritual platform to forge fire soldiers. With this technique, you can refine spiritual weapons and even natal weapons, which can be used to protect the way. From now on, it will be difficult for you to resist others, and your reputation will be far-reaching."
Qi Jingzhi's eyes widened when he heard this. Even Lord Langya didn't mention Chi You's achievements at the beginning. He didn't expect that the method of forging spiritual weapons was actually created by this great god. No wonder he was called the Soldier Master.
Feng Zixu continued: "Then Emperor Yan succumbed to the rising Holy Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Jiang clan was overpowered by the Ji clan. Only Chiyou refused to surrender, so he raised an army to compete with the Holy Emperor for the throne. Because the Jiuli tribe’s spiritual weapons and weapons are extremely powerful, it was difficult for the various tribes and countries to resist them.”
"Later, Empress Jiutian Rennv, under the orders of the Yin Mother, granted Holy Emperor Xuanyuan the magic talisman of soldiers' faith, and was able to defeat Chi You. It is said that after Chi You's defeat, because of his fierce power that was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Holy Emperor Xuanyuan came to Jiutian Ren With the advice of the Empress, a large flag was specially made with the image of Chi You on it. Wherever the Chi You flag went, the evil and rebellious ministers in the Ji clan's jurisdiction were all heartbroken and invincible."
"For this reason, Empress Jiutian Rennu was revered by the Ji clan as the sage of military strategists. When the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan became the Dihong clan, this saying spread throughout the human race, even those who disliked this empress the most The same is true for the Jiang clan.”
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking that with such a connection, the old man would never want to become the military master.
As for the so-called Chi You flag, it sounds similar to Bannu's Zuowu flag. They are both based on power, and no one can have such a magical effect if they hold it in their hands.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi nodded and said: "Although the great god Chi You was defeated and was not among the human emperors, he was an unparalleled hero of the Jiang clan, and he even made great contributions to the human race. No wonder the military leader among the eight gods is clearly him. Yes, there is even a Chi Yousi in the Qi Kingdom Demonic Suppressing Academy."
"About the Jiutian Rennv Empress's roots, of the three statements that my disciple heard, one is true and the other is quite different. In comparison, the remaining statement about Yanhuang's biological mother seems ridiculous. I think it should be Is it a myth like Tai Sui Crane God?"
Hearing the young man's question, Feng Zixu immediately said angrily: "As a teacher from a Taoist sect, it is rare to know so much. As for who is the birth mother of Emperor Yan, you, a descendant of the Jiang clan, have the nerve to ask me?"
