Once upon a time, when Qing Lingzi was still a young man, he sat on the Immortal Platform of Qingyang Sect in Kunlun and looked up at the stars. At that time, he imagined that one day he would attain enlightenment and soar, soar beyond the nine heavens, riding the wind and soaring upward.
But as he grew stronger and came into contact with more and more things, he began to notice something was wrong. The so-called gods are nothing more than that. They laugh at the stupidity of the world, but they themselves are not necessarily much smarter. They deceive the world into practicing hard, but in the end the people who practice hard are still begging, but they are born to be gods.
Counting carefully, there are very few immortals in the world who have been cultivated by mortals. However, they are eating the salaries of mortals and turning around to take away from them. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, human sacrifices were popular. Qing Lingzi asked his master why he did this. His master said that humans are the food and wealth of heaven, so it should be like this. Qing Lingzi was puzzled, so he asked his master why all the creatures in heaven still feed on mortals? The master didn't answer but just taught him to practice hard. Only by practicing hard can he become a wealthy person.
Qing Lingzi then went into seclusion for thirty years. However, all the other people in seclusion were practicing hard, but Qing Lingzi was the only one who went into seclusion to meditate on whether the master's words were right or wrong. After thousands of battles between heaven and man, Qing Lingzi finally figured it out - -That's like bullshit.
Even though heaven has the ability to reward good and punish evil, it must never take or take away without asking why. Qing Lingzi suddenly understood, and what followed was a three-hundred-year journey to break the sky. He first practiced forbidden arts, created... He used magic techniques to destroy ancient Kunlun, slaughter immortals and Buddhas, and surrender to human masters. Finally, when he was qualified to stand on the Immortal Platform at the top of Yuxu, pointing his sword to the sky and cursing and inviting a fight, no one accepted the challenge.
In 770 BC, there were no more immortal Buddhas in the land of China, and the five realms of heaven and earth did not interfere with each other. This led to the subsequent contention of a hundred schools of thought and the rise of the human race, and Qing Lingzi played the most important role here.
After that, he studied the calendar and magic among the four methods and taught countless disciples. However, no one became an immortal in the human world. Qing Lingzi and several other sages were called the ancestors of the earth immortals. However, his reputation is not obvious. On the contrary, Zhen Yuanzi, who ranks low among the great earth immortals, is famous because of one of his films. And you must know that even Zhen Yuanzi, who is ranked low, is an existence that cannot be messed with by ordinary gods. Even the Buddha has to give him some face.
The same goes for Qing Lingzi. Although he is indeed not as good as several masters at the master level, he is still a figure that is a bit of a headache for the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and the gods and Buddhas at the master level cannot easily interfere in the human world. Afterwards, the Lingshan Department refused to admit defeat and insisted on reaching in. What greeted them was the Human Emperor destroying the Buddhas. In the end, Lingshan fell and all the Buddhas fell. Then there was Black Spirit Mountain, also known as Dead Spirit Mountain.
It was precisely because of the constant struggle of Qing Lingzi and the subsequent Holy Lords that the land of China was not gradually eroded by the upper three realms like other places, and even gradually completed the transition from a subordinate relationship to a contractual relationship with the gods. In the years when Qing Lingzi was the most prosperous and coquettish, a large number of articles about fighting against the sky have been circulated to this day, such as "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain", "Yi Shoots Nine Days", etc., which seem to be from ancient times, but looking back It seems to be something that was circulated in the pre-Qin period.
I won’t say whether that’s the case specifically, but the fighting spirit of “If you make me unhappy, even if you’re a thief, I’ll fight you to the end” has taken root since then. Therefore, the slave society came to an end by the Warring States Period.
So if Qing Lingzi had not lost to Ying Zheng, no one knows what would have happened in this land. Anyway, one thing that is certain is that there will never be as many obsequious dogs as there are now.
But there is no way, the world is not the same as it was more than two thousand years ago, and Qing Lingzi is not the same Qing Lingzi more than two thousand years ago. Now he is standing on the Immortal Stage again, looking at the white-capped mountains, and he feels a little sad in his heart. .
"You bitch, come on, come on, come on and drink."
The call of the Jade Lion sounded behind him. When Qing Lingzi turned his head, his long hair was scattered in the direction of the wind, but his eyes were cold.
"Sober for many years."
"Quit? It's boring to quit. Oh my god, you are always like an ascetic. You are not lustful, greedy for money, or greedy for money. What are you doing in these two lives?"
Qing Lingzi smiled: "If I say I want peace for all eternity, will you laugh at me?"
"No, it's not unusual to hear anything from your mouth anyway. If you are enough of a friend, you can have a drink with me."
Qing Lingzi picked up the wine bottle, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and drank it all. After drinking the wine, Qing Lingzi looked up at the dark clouds with snow in the sky, and snorted: "It's in the way!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the sky looked like the belly of a fish cut open by a sharp knife. The thick clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the unique blue sky of the plateau.
"Okay! Okay! It's fun! It's fun! The Qing Lingzi I know is back after all."
The Jade Lion clapped his thighs and laughed, while Qing Lingzi stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the Immortal Platform, pointing out to the mountains: "Old Cat, do you want to come out of the mountain with me and see the prosperity of this world?"
The Jade Lion yawned and showed a lack of interest: "I'm not interested, I'm not interested. What's so good about prosperity, I'd rather..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade Lion was pinned in the hot spring by Qing Lingzi. He broke free and found himself in a hot spring with white mist. The surrounding scene was no longer the majestic Kunlun Mountains, surrounded by birds and the fragrance of flowers. , the scenery is pleasant.
"Wow, old dog!" the Jade Lion scolded: "Why are you still so domineering? You won't let me refuse?"
At this time, Qing Lingzi was already standing in the hot spring, holding a wine bottle and pouring wine into his mouth, completely ignoring the protests of the jade lion next to him. However, although the jade lion protested a few times, everyone had been friends for thousands of years. Seeing Qing Lingzi's behavior again He looked like a wild and free man, but he felt relieved. He threw off his obstructive clothes and turned into a lion lying down in the pool.
"Old dog, when you and I met, I was only twenty-seven years old and you were only eighteen years old. Now it's already three thousand years ago."
"Three thousand three hundred and twenty-one years."
"Yes." The Jade Lion looked at the sky: "So many vicissitudes of life have turned into dust."
Qing Lingzi smiled, looked at the jade lion and smiled softly. He somewhat missed the angry horse with green mouth and white teeth and bright clothes at that time. He thought of the first time he met the dead cat in the snow mountain, its legs and feet were injured by the giant sapphire dragon. Worried that he would harm him, he grinned at himself.
Nowadays, the giant sapphire dragon has long become a handful of earth in the Kunlun Mountains, and the jade lions have also become the sacred beasts guarding the mountain in Kunlun. So sad and sighing.
"The most delicious thing I have eaten in these years is the leftover rice you brought to me." The Jade Lion suddenly turned around and said, "I thought I was going to die. If it weren't for you, I would have been buried in the ice and snow. In the mountains."
"It's fate, I guess. Looking at it from my current perspective, I would never have imagined that there could be a lion in the Kunlun Mountains."
At this point, one man and one lion burst into laughter.
After the two reminisced about old times, the lion suddenly asked: "What do you want to do by reopening the mountain gate?"
"It's time. The orthodox way can only be passed down. When I finish the secular affairs, I will start preaching. Nowadays, the Holy Lord's lineage is thin. If we don't cheer up, I may not be able to communicate with other worlds in the future. To contend, since I, Qing Lingzi, am still alive, I cannot allow myself to be slaughtered by them again in the world."
"You are really foolish and loyal. What is so good about your Holy Master? He deserves your loyalty."
Qing Lingzi's expression suddenly changed, and the Jade Lion realized that he had made a mistake, and he quickly pouted a few times: "Just think of it as a loud fart."
"It's been three thousand years and your stupid brain hasn't grown yet!"
The Jade Lion didn't want to anger this old ass with his endless penis. He had been beaten by him often. In the past, when he was beaten when he was young, he would be beaten. Now everyone has to call him "ancestor" when they see him. If he is beaten again, it will be a bit embarrassing. Disgraceful...
"Alas, let me ask you." The Jade Lion padded the water and came to Qing Lingzi: "What kind of person is this Holy Lord? I heard that all Holy Lords are powerless?"
Qing Lingzi chuckled but said nothing.
"Speak, I'm asking you."
"Okay, I will introduce you." Qing Lingzi patted the jade lion on the head: "Become a human!"
The Jade Lion roared and transformed into a human being. He picked up wet clothes from the water and put them on. After landing, his body was immediately dried by the heat of the sun's fire. Qing Lingzi also got on the stage wet, but he His ability was even better. With just a tap of his feet, a water man in the shape of a Qing Lingzi stayed in place. He took two steps forward and the water man dissipated.
"Show off your skills, bah!" The Jade Lion sneered at Qing Lingzi's dazzling skills: "When will you change your habit of showing off your skills?"
Qing Lingzi was too lazy to answer and walked forward with his hands behind his back. The jade lion pinched his nose helplessly and endured this pretentious bitch.
After walking outside, it was already nightfall. In the distance, Black Guanyin was lighting fairy sticks with Gemini and playing with them. The lights were on in the dining room. Brother Zhang was cooking there in an apron, and Xiaoxiao was sitting there watching TV. I didn't see Miss Succubus today. According to reports, she had to go to the city because there was something wrong with her social security and she needed to merge her accounts again.
Although Brother Zhang doesn't understand why a succubus has social security, but since she has something to do, just let her go about her business, and nothing will happen anyway.
"My lord, let me introduce you, this is my old friend." Qing Lingzi gave up a position: "Snow Mountain Jade Lion."
Brother Zhang turned his head and glanced at him. He didn't say much, just nodded slightly. Although the Jade Lion was a bit rude, he knew that if he was disrespectful to the Holy Lord at this moment, he would be beaten up by Qing Lingzi, so he immediately saluted.
"I happen to be cooking, please wait a moment."
"Thank you, Lord. I am very frightened."
Brother Zhang just smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything. After all, if there are guests in Qinglingzi, he won't be as casual as before, which is understandable.
After sitting down, the Jade Lion approached Qing Lingzi and whispered: "Is this the contemporary Holy Master?"
Qing Lingzi nodded, and the jade lion smacked his mouth a few times: "It seems that this generation of holy masters is really powerless."
"Huh?" Qing Lingzi was stunned for a moment and made a very uneducated sound. Then he immediately covered his mouth, and a smile appeared in his cold eyes: "Do you really think so?"
"Well, it feels a bit ordinary."
"The most ridiculous thing in the world."
Qing Lingzi snorted coldly, and then stopped talking. He just waited quietly for Brother Zhang to serve them. After all, this thing couldn't prove anything to the Jade Lion, and Brother Zhang couldn't be allowed to show off. What a great show.
The dishes that Brother Zhang prepared today are braised rabbit and dry-roasted beef, paired with two halves of wild vegetables grown on the farm and mushroom soup found on Houtou Mountain. The four dishes are simple but delicious. The lion ate his mouth full and kept praising how delicious it was.
He said: "I decided to change the best meal of my life to this meal."
Qing Lingzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had never seen anyone become rebellious so quickly, but it was also because the lion had never eaten anything good in his life.
"Master, I reopened the mountain gate." Qing Lingzi put down the bowls and chopsticks and then began to speak: "After finishing the work in the mountain and sea world, I will start preaching."
"Well, good thing." Brother Zhang opened a bottle of Coke and drank: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Thank you, Lord."
In fact, Brother Zhang asked Qing Lingzi not to call him Lord more than once. This title was too middle-class and would make people think of the bad years in the past, but Qing Lingzi insisted on calling him like this. He thought that he was related to The biggest difference between those useless Twelve Spirits is that they do not forget their original intention. This was the case in the past and even more so now. Therefore, in order not to join the Twelve Spirits, he insisted on calling Brother Zhang the Lord.
After several corrections to no avail, Brother Zhang stopped insisting and just let Qing Lingzi call him that. Not to mention that he got used to it over time...
"Holy Lord, if you can fulfill his wish, can you fulfill my wish?"
The jade lion suddenly said something, and it was obvious that he meant to provoke Qing Lingzi, so no matter how Qing Lingzi stepped on his jiojio below, he remained unmoved.
After hearing this, Brother Zhang smiled and asked, "Then what is your wish?"
The Jade Lion quickly took a sip of water, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I have a mountaintop on the Kunlun Mountains. That is my dojo. For thousands of years, I have been unable to plant anything, and now it is still bare. There is snow all year round. I just want the Holy Lord to do me a favor and make it... spring-like."
Brother Zhang glanced at Qing Lingzi, who was covering his head and lowering his head with a look of shame on his face.
"OK."
Brother Zhang agreed with a smile, then stretched out his hand and flicked the jade lion on the forehead. At that moment, the jade lion seemed to be thrown into a black hole, its body rotated violently, and there was a glimpse of light in front of him. After everything calmed down, he discovered He was on a green grassland full of spring, and the surrounding mountains were still pale. Only the green grass under his feet, with the chirping of insects and birds, seemed like a paradise.
The strong wind outside can't blow in, and the sharp snow can't fall. All that can come in is the bright sunshine. It can't be said to be warm when it shines on the body, but it also doesn't have the warmth it once had.
The jade lion transformed into its prototype and rolled happily on the grass. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly rushed to his cave. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'm convinced!"
I saw that the cave that was once dark, cold and lifeless was now a different scene inside. Not only was the temperature as warm as spring, there was a beam of sunlight shining directly at the widest part of the cave, making the dark cave extremely bright. All the warmth came from a fist-sized treasure above his head. The Jade Lion didn't know what it was, but he didn't dare to touch it because it was very hot like the sun.
When Qing Lingzi saw the jade lion disappearing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang also said with a smile: "You will have to ask him to help you in the future. Helping him is also helping you."
