Chapter 25: Boundless Happiness in Heaven
Chapter 25: Boundless Happiness in Heaven
Lishan Mountains, Shuojin Ridge, and the side peak of Jinling Sect.
He Lingyun floated in the air on his flying sword, overlooking the vast garden complex below.
Only three months had passed since she last came here. She clearly remembered that when she came last time, Jinling Sect only had a small cave entrance.
The huge mausoleum hall was entered by staying in a square metal room for a while after entering the entrance, and then opening the metal door.
The hall where Sword 20 was obtained was also reached through the metal room. He Lingyun was focused on obtaining the flying sword at the time and did not pay much attention to the structure of the Jinling Sect's cave. Now it seems that the two halls should be built underground, and the metal room is the lifting platform leading to the underground.
Only three months had passed, and I don't know what means Senior Brother Wen used, but he actually leveled all the mountains and gullies around the cave, clearing out a large open space, and built countless pavilions, terraces, and beautiful gardens on the open space.
He Lingyun originally wanted to fly over on his sword and land inside the building complex, but was blocked by an invisible force field barrier.
Only then did she realize that the entire building complex was shrouded in a protective array defense circle. The array was extremely cleverly set up, and it was not easy to sneak in or break through the array.
The advertising sign at the entrance of the Jinling Sect's cave residence next to the building complex was still standing. He Lingyun saw from afar the golden seal characters written on it: "Contracting the construction of palaces, monasteries, waterside pavilions, towers, bridges, overseas fairy islands, floating mountains, and the interior decoration of cave residences... Unlocking the mountain protection magic array without loss if the key is lost...", and he suddenly understood.
I didn't understand it before, but today I finally understand that Brother Wen is indeed a professional in construction and formation arrangement, and he charges a fee for his expertise.
Under the protection of the defensive array, this complex of buildings has only a few entrances to enter. He Lingyun came to one of the entrances and saw at a glance the plaque hanging on the gate with flying eaves and brackets. The plaque was inscribed with large gold characters:
"Heaven on Earth Holiday Leisure Club".
There is also an inscription below the plaque:
"The scorching sun fades. The evening rain scatters the fragrant dust. A sudden cool breeze clears the courtyard, the sky is as clear as water, and the jade hook hangs in the distance. It must be the stars who are complaining about the long delay, reminiscing about the old promise, and wanting to drive the wheel. As far as the eye can see, the clouds are dark, and the bright Milky Way is pouring down.
Leisurely and elegant. You must know that this scene is priceless in ancient and modern times. The girl on the needle tower uses her ingenuity to thread the needle, with her powdered face and hair in a bun. Who is whispering in the shadow of the corridor with her gold hairpins? I wish that the heaven and the earth can enjoy this night every year.
The historical background of the mortal world is the late Western Zhou Dynasty. He Lingyun, who loves reading, has never read such elegant and graceful, wonderful and beautiful words with literary charm, and he was fascinated for a while.
But she quickly came to her senses, knowing that Wen Rui was an extremely treacherous person. Even though he could write such fascinating words and sentences, he was definitely harboring evil intentions and was secretly harming people.
Don’t be fooled by the elegant and unique name of “Heaven on Earth”, in fact it is not a good place at all, especially for the ignorant girls of Lishan Immortal Sect, it is even more of a dragon’s den, a tiger’s lair and a devil’s cave!
He Lingyun knew very well that her fellow sisters were too deeply deceived and would not listen to her advice at all. The more she talked, the more they would isolate her.
If I go to the master to complain, firstly, I will offend most of the sisters in the entire sect. Secondly, there is no effective evidence that Wen Rui has done anything wrong. Thirdly, Wen Rui has evidence that he has bribed me, and I will definitely be bitten back by him.
For now, she had no choice but to act undercover and pretend to be friendly, go deep into the tiger's den to investigate secretly. When she found out Wen Rui's evil intentions and got the evidence of him seducing and harming her junior sisters, she would announce it in front of the Holy Mother of Lishan, Master Caiyun and all the junior sisters, expose Wen Rui's conspiracy, and get rid of this beast. Only then could she restore the prosperity of Lishan Immortal Sect and protect the innocence of her sisters!
He Lingyun walked up the stairs in front of the gate of Tianshang Renjian with firm steps. Soon, a steel robot came to greet him. The robot spoke in a stiff and emotionless female voice: "Dear guest, I am Jin Yaoer, the artificial intelligence housekeeper of Tianshang Renjian. Welcome to Tianshang Renjian. Would you like to apply for a card? If you apply for a card, you can enjoy a 20% discount after the free period ends."
The mechanical eyes of the mechanical man released a row of gratings to scan He Lingyun, and the tone of his voice suddenly changed, becoming much more lively and attentive: "Fairy He, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. It turns out that you are already a VIP customer of the Jinling Sect. Please move to the lobby."
As he spoke, the robot opened the card slot on his chest, spit out a black card, and respectfully handed the black card to He Lingyun using his mechanical arm.
He Lingyun took the card in confusion, and the agent continued to explain: "This VIP card is only issued to old customers who have signed contracts with our sect three times and fulfilled their contracts. With this card, you can enjoy a 50% discount and enter some VIP areas that are not open to ordinary customers. The first ten floors of the Jinling Sect's underground city will also be open to you."
After reminiscing, He Lingyun remembered that he had previously signed the "Body Donation Agreement", "Sword 20 Testing Agreement" and "Demon Protection Sword Rental Agreement" with Wen Rui, which just happened to qualify him for the VIP card.
She thought it was just perfect. She was worrying about how to start the investigation as the Jinling Sect’s guarding formation was too strict. Suddenly, someone brought her a pillow when she felt sleepy. It was God’s help!
Following the mechanical man into the magnificent lobby, He Lingyun looked up and saw that the walls of the hall were decorated with many kinds of art paintings, including ink paintings, stone carvings, pastel oil paintings, and many graphic and color works that she could not understand.
These paintings, which far surpassed the artistic taste of the Western Zhou Dynasty, had a huge visual impact on He Lingyun. However, her cultural background was so limited that she couldn't even say "I Cao". She could only be tongue-tied and stare with eyes wide open, dumbfounded.
In addition to paintings, the hall is also filled with exquisite sculptures, including stone carvings, jade carvings, bronze statues, root carvings, and so on.
Even the potted plants, blue and white porcelain vases, bone china bowls, gold jewelry, silver crowns, mechanical clocks, mechanical puppets, palace lanterns, and horse stepping on flying swallow ornaments dotted in the corners are all exquisite works of art.
Apart from the fact that it uses too much gold and its style is too exaggerated and looks a bit vulgar, this hall is simply an art palace that is the culmination of thousands of years of art. Art masterpieces that surpass those of the Western Zhou Dynasty are haphazardly pieced together and piled up like garbage, and exhibits are placed haphazardly.
"Calm down, be sure to calm down!"
He Lingyun, whose G-spot was repeatedly poked, suppressed his excitement, retracted his trembling hands that were reaching for the artwork, and warned himself: "Don't be fooled by appearances, these are all Wen Rui's tricks to confuse people and lure them into depravity!"
Even though he warned himself to be vigilant, He Lingyun couldn't help but secretly sigh and even feel respect for him. This Senior Brother Wen was really too talented. He really knew everything except cultivating immortals!
The artistic talent displayed in this one hall alone is enough to overwhelm the human world, and there are few rivals among the gods and demons in the three realms.
He was over 500 years old, but he hadn't even broken through the foundation-building stage. Perhaps it was because he hadn't practiced properly for hundreds of years, and had spent all his time and energy studying these miscellaneous studies. He Lingyun was not surprised that Wen Rui, a mere mortal, could live for more than 500 years. She was familiar with the sect's classics and knew that there were many natural treasures in the world that could prolong life.
For example, smelling it can make you live 360 years old, and eating a ginseng fruit can make you live 4 years.
Another example is eating the peaches of Pan, which have the same lifespan as heaven and earth and the same age as the sun and the moon.
It is also like the peach wood staff of the Immortal of the South Pole.
Even if Wen Rui cannot obtain these top-level longevity treasures, it is normal for him to live for hundreds or thousands of years if he is fortunate enough to obtain longevity treasures such as "Rou Zhi", "Zhu Yu", "Zhu Cao", "Qiu Shan Immortal Tree", "Chi Quan" and "Flying Fish".
"Fairy He, please allow me to introduce you to Heaven on Earth. This club is divided into several themed entertainment areas, including 'Cloud Top Palace', 'Shenmu Rainforest', 'Sea and Sky Feast', 'Wild Party', 'Yaochi Bathing City', and 'Cyber Secret Realm'."
The mechanical man who called himself Jin Yaoer explained: "You are a monk who transformed from a bird from Caiyun Peak. I recommend that you experience the elegant music of Yunding Fairy Palace first, and then go to Yaochi Bathing City to cleanse yourself from the mundane world. After all, the Beast Party is a bit too noisy for a guest like you..."
He Lingyun, who was a little timid because it was his first time here, was moved and asked casually, "Where is Wen Rui?"
The mechanical man paused for a moment before saying, "This question meets the VIP privileges and can be answered. Sect Master Wen is currently in the teaching hall on the ninth floor underground in the Jinling Sect's cave residence."
He Lingyun continued to ask tentatively: "Why doesn't he come here?"
The mechanical man replied as a matter of course: "In order to ensure the guests' experience, this club is only open to female guests. Sect Master Wen will naturally not take the lead in breaking the rules and come here with that ugly face to ruin the fun of the fairies."
He Lingyun frowned suspiciously, but he didn't believe it. However, he didn't dare to question it any further for fear of being exposed.
Seeing her hesitation, the robot asked, "Many of your fellow sisters from Caiyun Peak are having a feast at Yunding Fairy Palace. Don't you plan to go and meet them?"
He Lingyun said: "Okay, take me there!"
Following the mechanical man inside and passing by several large halls, He Lingyun secretly observed curiously along the way.
The rest of the halls were fine, except for one of them with a plaque that read "Wild Party". From a long distance, one could hear the dull drum beats coming from inside it.
He Lingyun secretly looked inside the hall at the door. The lights inside were flashing colorfully, and the sound of bizarre and fast-paced music and drums was heard endlessly.
"I order wine from Guanshan, and it goes down my throat for thousands of years.
There is also boiling snow and wind and cloud
I am an old friend from thousands of miles away, the green mountains should be white hair
Young people still use silver spears to show off their romantic
......"
"A few glances back and the dream of the fool is over
Wait for the show to begin with heavy makeup
On stage, I sing all the sorrows and joys alone
As graceful as floating clouds and colorful clothes
......"
He Lingyun didn't think these DJ versions of ancient style songs were very pleasant to the ears, he just thought they were too noisy.
But the disciples of Xixiuling in the hall were enjoying it very much. The girls with fox ears, cat ears, tiger stripes, leopard skin skirts, dog girls and wolf girls cried out "Awoo, Awoo", twisted their waists, swung their arms, shook their heads and swung their tails, dancing to the rhythm of the drums.
The aroma of barbecue and the strong smell of alcohol wafting from the hall also made He Lingyun feel nauseous. However, the girls from Xixiuling were eating skewers, wolfing down grilled ribs, eating iron pot stews, raising their cylindrical glass cups and clinking them repeatedly, and pouring wheat juice in the large cups down their throats. They were so indulgent and happy.
There is nothing better than a pool of wine and a forest of meat!
In the library of the Lishan Immortal Sect, there are also documents recording the history of the Shang Dynasty during the Conferred God Period. He Lingyun has looked up records about Wen Rui. After all, he is the son of Wen Zhong, and there are many references to Wen Rui in the chapters recording Grand Master Wen Zhong.
Wen Rui once served as the Grand Engineer of the Shang Dynasty. He was ordered to supervise the construction of King Zhou's wine pool and meat forest, which received a five-star rating from Queen Daji!
He Lingyun sighed secretly. Using the entertainment project endorsed by King Zhou and Daji to test the disciples of Lishan, which disciple could withstand such a test?
