After receiving a slap from his master, Qi Jingzhi opened his mouth, but was speechless.
He didn't even know the prominent figures in his family's lineage, let alone the mythical Emperor Yan and his biological mother.
Feng Zixu on the side calmed down and then snorted again: "Actually, I have a guess in my mind about the origin of this statement. Just listen to it. When you ask Zheng Xian about it in the future, don't use it. I will confess to my teacher. If I am wrong, I cannot afford to lose this person!"
"That's natural!"
Qi Jingzhi quickly nodded in agreement, firstly because he really wanted to know, and secondly because he felt that his master had accumulated a lot of stories since childhood, and now he was afraid that he could only tell them to his disciple.
At that moment, Feng Zi said falsely: "Some people say that the word Rennu of Jiutian Rennu empress means the daughter of Ren, because in the oracle bone books, the original ancient version of the word 'Ren' was written as 'Ren'. At the same time, some people say that the daughter of Ren's surname is named Si, who was inspired by the divine dragon's head and gave birth to Emperor Yan... They are both daughters of Ren's surname, so it is not unusual for them to be forcibly dragged together."
"He was born with the head of a divine dragon? Emperor Yan was born with the head of an ox and became a human body. The location of Biluo Palace is called Dragon Head Plain. Is it because of this?"
Qi Jingzhi was quite surprised and immediately reacted: "Master just said that according to the records in our Taoist sect's orthodox classics, the Jiutian Rennu Empress is the Xuan Ming family. No surname was mentioned, but it is obviously not any surname. Sir, it seems that the statement that this great god is the birth mother of Emperor Jiang... must be far-fetched and based on rumors."
Feng Zixu nodded lightly: "The Taoist Scriptures say that the God of Grain is immortal and is called Xuan Ming. The gate of Xuan Ming is called the root of heaven and earth. The Nine Heavens Rennu empress is called Xuan Ming, and she must be an innate god born with a shortcut to the Tao. , Ren’s surname is Xiu, but it’s a human surname, so the two are completely unrelated.”
"Disciple understands, Yin mother is passed down to Rennu, and Rennu is passed down to Yuan Gong. It is indeed a lineage of the Taoist sect."
Qi Jingzhi said, looking down at the statue of Baiyundong Lord below, and thought to himself: "Since Mr. Yuan is an immortal god recorded in the Taoist classics, he cannot be regarded as an evil god. At the beginning, the Songling County Yin Division had no idea how to deal with the tiger spirit. There has been a dispute, and now I must have a lot of scruples against the Taoist sect and dare not act rashly..."
"It's just that the duty of Lord Baiyundong is to guard the Book of Wishful Desires, not some mountain god. Why is his statue erected here and connected to the ground of Xiaosong Mountain?"
Take a look at the crude carvings of the statue below, as well as the monkeys worshiping in the temple. It does look like the work of Senior Mandrill.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but feel moved. He immediately took out the jade box from his arms, opened it, and took out a handful of hair as white as frost and snow.
When these vellus hairs were not taken out, they were only slightly shiny. However, once they were exposed to the moonlight, they suddenly bloomed with brilliance.
At the same time, the white stone ape statue below also shone brightly, echoing the hairs given by Senior Mandrill.
The next moment, this small handful of hair flew up on its own and hung in front of Qi Jingzhi.
Feng Zixu was attracted by his disciple's behavior and focused his eyes on him.
She looked at the hair carefully, then looked down at the Moon Mother Temple, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then turned into a sly smile.
The next moment, Qi Jingzhi suddenly felt a kick on his butt, and an overwhelming force spread throughout his body. He immediately fell out of Taiqing Tiancha and fell rapidly towards the hall below.
Almost at the same time, Bannu let out an earth-shattering howl and fell down with his teeth and claws open.
The Taiqing Sky Tower hangs high in the sky. If the master and the servant fell straight down like this, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
In the flash of lightning, Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu looked at each other, and immediately used their own methods.
The crane's wings spread out suddenly and fluttered twice, finally slowing down the young man's fall.
The Zuowu flag also flew out, and the clear light it emitted was pure and pure, but it was like substance, pulling Bannu's body upwards with all his strength.
However, this guy's food in the past month has been really good, and he has obviously grown a lot bigger. No matter how much the clear light of Zuowu Banner drags him, it can only provide a slight buffer.
Seeing that Bannu was still falling slowly but really quickly, Qi Jingzhi quickly reached out and grabbed the black and white entwined pony tail, which was immediately replaced by a miserable neigh from his own mount.
Such a loud movement in the sky immediately alarmed the monkeys in the hall.
These monkeys, big and small, no longer cared about worshiping the gods. They all raised their heads in shock, watching helplessly as the man and the beast crashed onto the roof of the hall.
The already large hole in the roof suddenly widened a lot. Broken tiles fell down, and a puff of smoke rose between the beams and pillars.
Followed by two more muffled bangs, Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu hung on a beam one after another.
The entire hall was in a state of disrepair. The beam that was originally painted with gold and painted colors had long been dull and dull. It seemed that the wood was solid, but it had long been rotten on the inside. It immediately made a creaking sound, and it was obvious that it could not bear the strength.
Before Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu had time to catch their breath, they heard a click in their ears, and the beam they grabbed was snapped away from the break.
With a bang, all the remaining roofs of the hall collapsed, and large pieces of broken wood and tiles fell like hail, causing the monkeys below to scream.
Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, the pillars and walls of the palace were tilted. Fortunately, they were still standing and did not collapse along with the roof.
The height from the beam to the ground was no longer taken seriously by Qi Jingzhi and Ban Nu. The master and the servant descended gracefully and landed on the fairly spacious altar. Behind them was the stone statue of Baiyundong Lord Yuan Gong. In front of me is a group of monkeys that are scurrying about with their heads in their hands, and the sky is full of boiling water.
Qi Jingzhi looked around briefly, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar hall, and felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.
Not long ago, he saw with his own eyes the mysterious and majestic sight of the Qingcheng Ship and the Saints patrolling the sky. He felt that his heart was always floating in the sky, and now he truly landed on the ground and returned to the world.
"Xiao He'er, I've been feeling around for a while. Your little pine mountain is really interesting. As long as you're careful, it's not dangerous for you. Just play with ease. I still need to prepare for my escape. , but I won’t accompany you!”
Feng Zixu's words came from the sky, and they were obviously getting farther and farther away. When the last word was spoken, only the lingering sound was heard.
Seeing that his master was so free and easy, Qi Jingzhi quickly clapped his hands, knocked the horse tail hair from between his fingers, and then saluted far away in the direction of the sound.
At this time, the dust had settled in the main hall, and the broken wood and tiles did not cause any casualties to the monkeys, but it was inevitable that they would become disgraced.
The monkeys gradually settled down. A group in the east and a group in the west looked curiously at the iron wings behind Qi Jingzhi and the flag spirit on Ban Nu's head. They chirped and pointed with their paws.
At this moment, an inconspicuous gray-haired old monkey emerged from among the monkeys. He pointed at the white hair that was still floating in front of the young man. He immediately clasped his hands together and worshiped several times.
Judging from its appearance, it was obvious that it recognized Senior Mandrill's hair.
Following the movement of the gray-haired old monkey, the hall immediately fell silent. The monkeys all stared at the young man on the altar with their big eyes.
Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, smiled at the monkeys and said, "These vellus hairs are gifts from Senior Mandrill!"
"Once upon a time, senior and I teamed up to kill a tiger spirit outside this hall. Later, senior mandrill sent many monkeys and monkeys to deliver the body of the tiger spirit to my house. He also played in my house for most of the night and ate a lot of fruits! "
The young man gestured while talking, and finally pointed in the direction of Shanqian Village: "My home is on the edge of Xiaosong Mountain, a small courtyard halfway up the mountain..."
The monkeys gathered around the altar could barely understand what he said, but they were very considerate and followed his gestures. They turned around and looked at the courtyard outside the hall, and then looked at the courtyard outside the hall. They all turned their necks and looked in the direction of Shanqian Village.
Only the intelligent gray-haired old monkey seemed to understand a little bit. He stared and thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
It suddenly opened its mouth and shouted several times at the surrounding monkeys. Then all the monkeys jumped and screamed, looking very happy.
Among them, many nimble little monkeys jumped out of the hall, carrying a lot of dried and fresh fruits in from nowhere, and threw them on the altar as they jumped.
The little monkeys were not accurate enough, so many fruits were inevitably thrown over their heads, but were blocked by the clear light of the Zuowu flag, and they fell on Bannu's head in disorder.
Over the past few days, Bannu has gained a lot of knowledge in Qihe Valley, and has become more accustomed to waiting for the food to be cooked and put in his mouth. At this time, seeing that these fruits are raw and the spiritual energy contained in them is not enough, his face Just a little disgusted.
Even so, this guy refused to be idle. He lazily raised his head and opened his mouth, regardless of what he was receiving. The two rows of white sharp teeth touched each other, and he opened his cheeks and chewed hard, getting all the juice out of his mouth. There was splashing and fruit crumbs flying everywhere.
Now even the big monkeys who were watching were interested and joined in holding fruits and smashing flags. Regardless of the big melons and small fruits, they all greeted Zuowu Banner.
After a while, Bannu and Qi Jingzhi's feet were piled with various famous and unknown dried and fresh fruits, including hazelnuts, pine nuts, torreya nuts, and walnuts, the four-color longevity fruits.
It's a pity that Qi Jingzhi is not a great immortal god. Otherwise, he could have painted a "Picture of Monkeys Offering Fruit" to be passed down to future generations.
Later, when all the monkeys, big and small, saw that Bannu's food was really delicious, they couldn't help but become greedy, and they all started to accompany the guests, chewing happily.
Qi Jingzhi was quite dumbfounded when he saw this. Back then, these monkeys were eating, drinking and playing in his yard. He only heard Jiao Yulang mention them afterwards, but now he finally saw them with his own eyes.
Qi Jingzhi turned around and looked closely at the stone statue of Lord Baiyundong. He felt that his perception was different from when he looked at it from a distance in the sky.
This stone statue stands where the headless statue of the Moon Mother once stood. Now it is bathed in the moonlight, and its whole body is glowing with fluorescence. Although it is very crudely carved, with only a rough outline, upon closer inspection, it appears that the shapes are scattered but the spirit is concentrated. It reveals a unique charm that is both sophisticated and unworked.
Inadvertently, Qi Jingzhi's eyes glanced at the stone box in the left hand of the stone statue, and he suddenly felt a flutter in his heart for no reason.
He couldn't help but be astonished, staring at the golden cabinet and jade box that was said to contain the "Book of Wishful Wishes". Just as he was about to take a closer look, several anxious screams suddenly came from behind him.
Qi Jingzhi turned around and saw several little monkeys running in from the door in a panic with empty hands, jumping up and down around the gray-haired old monkey, and making shrill screams.
The monkeys who were eating wildly around them were quiet at first, and then started to make a big fuss. They dropped the fruits in their hands, and each picked up wood sticks, tiles and other sundries from the ground, and went there pushing and noisily. Run outside the main hall.
Seeing this formation, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.
When the headless statue of Moon Mother collapsed, the divine power in the temple was gone, and the skin-shedding tiger spirit lost its protection, she was immediately approached by a group of demons.
Now that the roof of this hall has collapsed, the noise is no small. Could it be that it has attracted some bad guests?
Qi Jingzhi was so surprised that he jumped off the altar without thinking and followed the monkeys out of the hall.
Under the stone steps in front of the temple, there are overgrown grass and gravel. In the past, Senior Mandrill used his tripod hammer to create many deep pits. Now these deep pits have been filled with mud, and the wild grass growing out of them is the most lush.
The monkeys crowded on the edge of the stone platform, shouting and looking down.
Qi Jingzhi walked over and saw that the stone steps were densely covered with snakes. At a glance, there were hundreds of them.
These snakes look the same, with sharp beaks and bald tails, black backs and white bellies. They are over a foot long and as thick as a copper coin. They look a bit strange.
There are still such strange snakes emerging from the grass, but the grass blades are swaying non-stop, and the rustling sounds are also endless.
These strange snakes gathered more and more, and one of them couldn't hold it any longer. He held his head high and uttered a message while tentatively walking upstream along the stone steps.
Seeing this, the monkeys immediately became commotion.
One of the male monkeys with red fur was obviously impatient. He jumped out immediately, jumped down several stone steps in one step, and stepped hard on the strange snake.
There was only a click sound, and the strange snake that was stepped on was broken into two pieces.
Seeing this, the red male monkey immediately became proud and let out a weird laugh.
At this moment, the alien snake, which had lost half of its body, suddenly jumped up and bit an arm of the red male monkey.
Almost at the same time, a head suddenly emerged from the fracture in the lower body of the alien snake, turned its head and bit the crimson male monkey's calf fiercely.
The red male monkey's laughter stopped suddenly, his body visibly stiffened, and he fell straight down the stone steps. In the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by the swarming snakes.
Seeing the miserable condition of their companions, the monkeys on the edge of the stone platform were unable to save them. They were really frightened and angry. They immediately shouted and threw down the wooden sticks and tiles in their hands.
In an instant, there was a loud clicking sound, and the pile of snakes under the stone steps was immediately smashed into pieces, revealing a black-faced monkey corpse inside.
Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that after the strange snakes were hit, some were broken into more than a dozen sections, and some were simply broken into powder, with black and white scattered all over the floor.
However, the next moment, the broken snake bodies grew heads one after another, and the powder gathered back into the shape of the strange snakes before, still swimming like flying.
Immediately afterwards, these strange snakes of different sizes showed no scruples and spread towards the stone steps like a tide.
There was silence on the stone platform, and the monkeys were stunned, with fear on their faces.
The gray-haired old monkey suddenly shouted, grabbed his fellow monkey beside him and ran towards the main hall.
With it taking the lead, the other monkeys woke up from a dream, and followed the old monkey and fled with their heads in their hands.
Qi Jingzhi stood still. Seeing these strange and vicious snakes about to rush onto the stone platform, Qi Jingzhi immediately turned his left palm and took out the set of tiger-shade jade chimes.
