Hurry, rush!
Why is the bridal chamber always like this!
Emperor Yunlong continuously shook the Ancestral Dragon Holy Residence, and Chen Luo had no choice but to run out of it. Only then did he realize that it was his grandfather who was looking for him. He quickly greeted Chen Xuan and his senior brothers and sisters, and followed Jian Jia to leave Yuanhai and go to Wutong Forest.
…
At the same time, Netherworld Dafeng.
Linhuang's face turned pale, he looked up at the deep sky of Netherworld, took a puff of cigarette, and spit it out again.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Emperor Lin with some worry: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Emperor Lin shook his head: "I don't mind!"
"I just didn't expect that such a situation would happen!"
Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly: "Is there no way?"
Linhuang stood up, walked to the balcony outside the palace, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. After a long while, he said: "Buddhism is really worse than the last!"
"Emperor Qinglong also tried his best!"
"The only one who can possibly solve this dilemma right now is Xiao Luo!"
"King Fengdu?" Shangguan Wan'er's mind flashed into a figure eating earth dragons with a grimace every day.
…
The central whirling pure land.
"well……"
Ksitigarbha Tathagata was lying on his back on the roof of the Mahavira Hall, looking at the dark sky.
"This matter... alas... I am a Buddhist..."
"The avenues have been stolen, what can we do..."
"Oh...forget it, let's discuss it with them..."
"Huh? They chanted together today and didn't call me..."
"Speaking of which, I've been lying here for three days. Is it true that no one found me?"
"Alas...forget it, since ancient times, only new people have laughed, never heard old people sigh..."
"Anyway, I was left out!"
"Let Xin Tathagata find a way..."
"Oh...sleep, sleep!"
"A mature crisis will find a way to solve itself."
…
Southern wilderness, sycamore forest.
Because it was an urgent call from Grandpa, Chen Luo did not dare to delay at all on the road. It only took less than three hours to rush from Yuanhai to Wutong Forest.
When we arrived, the sky was slightly bright.
"Emperor, Xiao Luo is here." Jian Jia led Chen Luo into the forest and reported to the Qinglong Emperor.
Emperor Qinglong glanced at Chen Luo and waved his hand to ask Jian Jia to step back.
"Master, what happened?" Chen Luo stepped forward quickly and asked carefully.
Emperor Qinglong let out a sigh of relief and said: "It has something to do with the False Buddha of the Western Regions!"
Chen Luo's face suddenly became serious.
The Pseudo-Buddhas in the Western Region have been much quieter recently, but Chen Luo knew that the reason why they were quiet was because they devoted all their energy to the Netherworld battlefield.
From the induction of his own incarnation, there is no abnormality in the central whirling pure land. Does that mean there is something wrong with the master?
"Don't worry, it's not Xiaozhao's side that's causing trouble." Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and said, "It's just because Xiaozhao's side went so smoothly that it pushed Buddhism in the Western Regions into panic, and that's why we're in the current crisis."
"What on earth is that?" Chen Luo was also a little anxious. He always kept people guessing when talking to the old man.
"Heaven refuses the unification of the two realms!" Emperor Qinglong said solemnly.
Chen Luo was stunned: God refused?
No reason!
The unification of the two realms, for the Heavenly Dao, increases the authority of the Netherworld, which is an opportunity to strengthen the Heavenly Dao!
There is no reason for Heaven to reject... By the way, fake Buddha!
"Is it the Buddhist Avenue?"
Emperor Qinglong nodded and continued: "When the two realms collapsed, the spirit of the building tree died and turned into a river of living beings. The old man was enlightened by the Buddha, so he agreed to the Tathagata at that time to use his own power. Connect the two realms, prevent the underworld from far away, and form a world of its own."
"After so many years, Xiao Zhao finally took control of the Nether Heaven and tried to promote the reunification of the Netherworld with the human world."
"Once the two realms are unified, the river of life will be included in the rules of heaven, and the two realms will reincarnate in the cycle of life and death!"
"But the pseudo-Buddha used the power of the Buddhist avenue to stand across it and hinder the integration of the two realms!"
"If we force the unification, I'm afraid it will cause the Heavenly Dao to backfire on the Netherworld Avenue!"
Chen Luo frowned slightly. Although he didn't understand the reason, he probably knew what happened.
The master's child wanted to go home, but the servants locked the door.
"Of course, doing this is not good for the Buddhist avenue, but they should have no way to stop Xiao Zhao now." Emperor Qinglong said softly.
"What can't Confucianism and Taoism do?" Chen Luo asked.
"No! The principles between these two families do not involve the Netherworld!" Emperor Qinglong shook his head, and then looked at Chen Luo with his turbid eyes.
Chen Luo was excited: "I...what can I do?"
"Your mortal world..." Emperor Qinglong said faintly, "You can write about the underworld! A close-up of it!"
"As much as possible, let the way of heaven accept the principles of the underworld!"
"Blow up the door where the false Buddha blocks the return of the underworld!"
Chen Luo was startled: Blow up the door?
I should have told you earlier, this is my major!
no problem!
…
After leaving Wutong Forest, Chen Luo did not return to Yuanhai, but returned directly to Zhongjing.
Sixth Senior Sister has begun to retreat to refine the true dragon bloodline, and he must also pursue a good career!
For example, grandpa’s order!
It must be completed with quality and quantity.
As usual, I went back to thank Ye Heng first, and described the Yunlong lineage's favorable impression of Daxuan, allowing Ye Heng to experience the joy of being a great emperor.
As for Ye Heng asking in a roundabout way about Feng Nanzhi's congratulations and saying that there were rumors that Feng Nanzhi was pregnant with his child, Chen Luo just smiled and advised the Daxuan Emperor not to believe the rumors or spread them.
Everything must be subject to his own announcement!
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled without saying a word!
Chen Luo: My attitude should be that I deny it!
Ye Heng: His attitude should be confirmed!
…
After bidding farewell to Ye Heng, Chen Luo returned to Duke Anguo's mansion and walked directly into the study.
He spread out the paper, picked up the brush, and began to think about what he should write.
Since it is the pseudo-Buddha who uses his authority to hinder the unification of the two realms, let’s just write about what it will look like after the two realms are unified!
For a time, many articles about Yinsi appeared in Chen Luo's mind.
Just when Chen Luo was choosing one of the articles to write, he suddenly paused and then gave up his plan.
Regarding the underworld, in fact, it has been systematically mentioned in the chapters "Tang Taizong's Night Journey to the Underworld" and "Sun Wukong's Trouble in the Underworld" in "Journey to the West", the article "Lu Pan" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and "Zi Bu". The article "Wash the Purple River Cart" in "Yu" has also been mentioned.
However, at that time, Chen Luo deliberately weakened and changed some expressions. Although there were discussions at the time, it did not arouse much enthusiasm.
Now it is obvious that the first article is very important and must bring this discussion forward.
If it were just a short article, I’m afraid it would be difficult to do! And we also have to consider the acceptance of the people.
You can't just throw them a novel thing when you come up, you have to let them actively accept the setting.
Before, Heaven was not allowed to discuss the Netherworld, but now it is said that the Netherworld really exists.
There has to be a process!
Love is common to all people!
So it’s best to use emotion as the entry point!
Writing about love also involves the two realms of the underworld, the cycle of life and death...
Chen Luo's eyes lit up!
Got it!
"I have four dreams in my life, and my only happy one is "Peony"."
Tang Xianzu: "The Peony Pavilion"!
…
On this day, everyone in Zhongjing was stunned.
The splendid green clouds above Anguo Duke's Mansion never dispersed, but instead gathered bigger and bigger, covering almost half of the central capital.
Even His Majesty Daxuan came in person and stood outside Duke Anguo's Mansion for a long time. He wanted to go in, but was stopped by Prime Minister Wen!
Wen Xiang's words are very simple. Chen Luo is writing a literary and shocking work, and it is a long one.
Such beautiful visions are comparable to those when Tao Yuanming wrote "The Peach Blossom Spring", Wang Xizhi wrote the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", and Wang Zi'an wrote the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng"...
No one is allowed to disturb!
Not even a half-saint!
His literary minister Zhou Zuofeng said it!
The more this happened, the more curiosity was aroused. The traffickers, lackeys, scholars and sages all put down their work, looked at the beautiful blue clouds above Anguo Gong's mansion, and imagined what articles Chen Luo would write.
Gradually, someone saw two figures faintly appearing in the beautiful blue clouds, just like a man and a woman.
A strong emotion emanated, and almost at the same time, a figure appeared in everyone's mind.
That figure may be the person around you, it may be the object of regret, it may be the regret from many years ago, or it may be the sadness of not getting what you want...
"Swallow...how can I live without you?" Suddenly someone was infected by this sentiment and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"Red hands, yellow vine wine; spring is as old as ever, people are thin and empty... Madam, my husband, I miss you so much!"
"Xue Lang, I have guarded the cold kiln for you for eighteen years. Where are you? Why haven't you come back yet!"
The suppressed emotions were suddenly released, and there was a cry in Zhongjing City.
"Sir, Confucius, the truth of this article is too rich, and it is so easy to move people's minds!"
"What the hell is An Guogong writing!"
"It's a show!"
"An Guogong wrote a play!"
"A love scene in the world of mortals! That's a love scene in the world of mortals!"
"Yes, Duke An Guo has just decided to get married, so the article he writes at this time must be a deeply affectionate one!"
"Don't talk so much, I just want to know where to buy tickets!"
"Well, Xu Laoqi, where are you going?"
"Where are you going? I have nothing to do today. I have to wait in line at the theater!"
…
Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, Chen Luo has completely integrated into the story of "The Peony Pavilion".
The original work of "The Peony Pavilion" was written by Tang Xianzu, who was hailed as a literary figure on par with Western Shakespeare in later generations, and "The Peony Pavilion" was the most proud work of his life.
"The Peony Pavilion", also known as "Return of the Soul", tells the story of the heroine Du Liniang who was sleepy in spring. In her dream, she saw a scholar holding a willow branch and asking her to write a poem. When I woke up, I realized it was a dream.
Later, Du Liniang found the Peony Pavilion according to the memory in her dream, but she did not see the scholar. She fell in love with him and died soon after. Father Du buried his daughter under the plum blossom tree in the back garden of his old house, built a "Plum Blossom Temple" and asked an old Taoist nun to guard her.
Next comes the matter of the underworld.
When Du Liniang's soul entered the underworld, the cause of her death was mentioned. The judge discovered that Du Liniang had an unfinished marriage with Liu Mengmei, the new champion scholar, so he released Du Liniang to return to the world!
Three years have passed in this world. Liu Mengmei went to Beijing to take the exam and stayed at Meihua Temple. She met the ghost of Du Liniang and fell in love with each other. Soon after, they were broken up by an old Taoist nun. Liu Mengmei and the old Taoist nun dug up Du Liniang's grave, but Du Liniang's body was intact. , now see the light of day again, resurrected again.
Liu Mengmei took Du Liniang to Beijing, and went to see Du's father, claiming to be his son-in-law. However, Du's father knew that his daughter had died three years ago, and also learned that Du Liniang had dug his daughter's grave and stolen her body. He was furious. Liu Mengmei was sentenced to death by beheading. Fortunately, the news that Liu Mengmei won the first prize came at this time, allowing Liu Mengmei to escape. But Du's father thought Liu Mengmei was also a goblin, so he wrote a memorial letter.
The emperor was a wise king and did not listen to Du's father's words. Instead, he summoned Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang to the palace to verify their identities in front of the "demon mirror". He then decreed that the father and daughter would recognize each other and marry Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang. From this, a story of dying of lovesickness and living of lovesickness has a happy ending!
…
After Chen Luo finished writing the last chapter, he let out a sigh of relief.
The first systematic description of the cycle of life and death did take some effort.
However, according to past rules, "The Peony Pavilion" should have seven emotions!
Seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise!
If there are no accidents, it should be "thinking"!
"The Romance of the West Chamber" condenses "joy", "Du Shiniang's Furious Sinking of Treasure Chest" condenses "anger", "The Injustice of Dou E" condenses "sadness", and "The Beauty" condenses "fear". If we add When you think about this, before you know it, the seven emotions have condensed into the five emotions.
Only "worry" and "surprise" are left, and the seven emotions are complete.
I'm a little curious, what will happen after the seven emotions are combined?
What article can condense these two emotions?
Chen Luo's mind wandered slightly, and then he quickly took it back.
Now is not the time to think about these things. The top priority is to release "The Peony Pavilion" quickly and let Liu Jingzhuang and Luo Hongnu organize people to rehearse it!
The earlier the performance, the earlier the Linhuang's pressure is relieved!
…
Netherworld.
Lin Huang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Shangguan Wan'er, who was guarding Linhuang, noticed the aura of Linhuang's body and said quickly.
"It doesn't matter, I just felt a hint of heaven's detection!"
"Tian Dao exploration?" Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment. There is no reason for Tiandao to enter the netherworld!
"It's Xiao Luo..." Linhuang thought for a moment, "His book of mortals bypassed the obstruction of the White Lotus Pseudo Buddha and connected a trace of the way of heaven into the Netherworld Avenue!"
"I wonder if my phoenix seal can still sense it now with the power of heaven attracted by Xiao Luo?"
Lin Huang murmured to himself and closed his eyes again. A shadow of a flaming phoenix appeared behind him, beautiful and solemn.
…
The human world, a place of deviation.
Hou Liangping, who was tapping the evidence library, yawned and continued to register the evidence.
Every time there is a big eucalyptus, Master Zhuguo's decisive killing is impressive, but there will be a series of follow-up tasks that need to be handled by them.
For example, the Gumen Eucalyptus has not been finished yet!
When Gu Sect left that year, he took away many things belonging to the imperial court and even the royal family. Now he needs to register them one by one and transfer them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At this moment, he suddenly encountered a force of luck. Looking along this induction, Hou Liangping found that deep in the warehouse, on a delicate box, a small phantom of a phoenix suddenly appeared.
"Huh? Phoenix Seal?" Hou Liangping was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew that it was the Phoenix Seal, the core treasure of Gu Sect.
"It's strange, isn't there a seal on it?" Hou Liangping was about to step forward to check, but suddenly the phoenix seal turned into a flaming phoenix and flew directly in front of him. Hou Liangping tried to catch it, but failed.
"No!" Hou Liangping quickly chased him out.
At this time, I saw the phoenix flying over the leaning place, hovering for a moment, and then flew towards the palace!
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Ye Heng was confused at this time.
He was just reading the memorial when suddenly a firebird fell from the sky and plunged into his jade seal!
At this time, a circle of phoenix patterns appeared around the jade seal.
Ye Heng checked his jade seal with a distressed look on his face.
It's okay!
My name as a Holy King rests on this jade seal.
Get a piece of scrap paper and stamp it!
Okay, okay, not bad!
But what happened to the firebird just now?
Ye Heng frowned: Could it be related to Chen Luo?
…
At this moment, in Duke Anguo's mansion, Chen Luo also looked confused.
He looked at the Fengdu King Seal in his hand and frowned.
"Why did this thing suddenly get hot?"
