Chapter 94: Thousands of Lights Shining
Chapter 94: Thousands of Lights Shining
"He went to the East China Sea some time ago and is now on his way back."
After Taoist Mu Jing finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside, leading the two women into the bamboo forest.
Taoist Mu Jing introduced a woman who looked to be about thirty years old, with a plain face and a kind expression, dressed like a woman. "This is my fellow practitioner Mo Zhi, who is proficient in the method of sealing mountains. The Zhushan True Form Seal in his hand is most effective in suppressing disasters such as earthquakes."
After that, Mu Jing introduced another woman with a pretty face, bright eyes, double-knife bun on her hair, who looked to be in her twenties.
"This is Acorus, a swordsman, I guess."
Upon hearing this, Chang Pu, who was originally smiling, immediately became furious: "Mu Jing, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by being a sword immortal? How can I not be a sword cultivator, not a sword immortal?"
As she spoke, she patted the sword case behind her. The sword's edge was shining and her sword intent was everywhere. She looked like a sword fairy.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this female cultivator does not have the edge of a pure sword cultivator at all. She, like Chu Tai, Mu Jing and Zheng Yang, is following the path of cultivating Qi.
The scene before him was nothing but the Shaoyin, Taibai, Gengxin true Qi condensed by Acorus calamus, combined with the sword box magic weapon to create an illusion for sword practitioners.
Judging from the fact that Changpu, Mujing and Zhengyang all practiced Qi, Mozhi, their fellow practitioner, should also be practicing Qi.
'I just don't know what kind of true Qi this Taoist friend Mo Zhi has condensed?'
Chu Tai glanced at Mo Ruo, feeling calculative in his heart, but speaking politely.
After everyone sat down, Mo Zhi asked about the current situation of the State of Chu.
Originally, this matter was nothing, but combined with what Wu Chaoxi said before, Taoist Cuihuang couldn't help but feel that waiting in the mountains was not a good idea, and they needed to take the initiative.
Mo Zhi disagreed with this. As she was an expert in mountain sealing, she believed in order and rules and thought it was best for humans and immortals to have their own boundaries.
"Human affairs should be handled by humans themselves. It is not a good thing for us to interfere too much."
Chang Pu agreed with Cui Huang's idea. She said, "But now the people in various parts of Chu are getting more and more hostile to each other. If it were just humane behavior, it would be fine. But now there are people behind the scenes fanning the flames. It is the right thing for us immortals to intervene."
Mo Zhi asked back: "Where is the limit? Endless interference will only bring more unnecessary troubles."
His words were full of disapproval of interfering in human affairs.
Chang Pu did not think it was a good idea to stay in the mountains. She argued: "If we don't cut out some possible disaster demons in advance, the power of Hanba will inevitably increase in the future. Now we are his human calamity. If we don't take advantage of our advantage, will we really fight him head-on?"
"How do you know that the other party will not hide because there are not enough disaster demons, and wait for us to leave before causing disasters? If we torture the people repeatedly and cholera the earth veins, won't the consequences be even greater? I think it's better for us to wait and refine the magic weapon in peace, and when the drought demon appears, we can directly refine it."
Seeing that the two Taoist friends who had just arrived seemed to be about to get into a heated argument, Taoist Mu Jing hurriedly tried to persuade them with a few words.
Unfortunately, the two sides failed to reach a consensus in the end.
Because of this argument, Chu Tai had the idea of going down the mountain. One reason was that he wanted to check out the situation in Huifeng Valley, and the other was that he wanted to see Guoshan.
Feifei, who knew the reason why Chu Tai went down the mountain, could no longer sit still. She packed up her things and followed him out.
After Wu Chaoxi followed Chu Tai up the mountain, he stayed on his shoulders most of the time, and this time he naturally followed him down the mountain.
After leaving Taoist Cuihuang's temple, Chu Tai discovered that Guo Shan had actually stayed with Taoist Dachun for almost a year.
At this time, lanterns were hung everywhere in Guanglu City, heralding the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Lantern Festival, which symbolized the end of the new year, slightly reduced the hostility that was rising in various places.
Chu Tai was walking on the street and saw a family giving out Yuanxiao.
When Feifei saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked back at Chu Tai, and seeing that he didn't stop her, she ran forward.
After asking around, I found out that this was a family in the city praying to the merchants passing by for peace in all seasons.
'Interesting, there are only four of these Lantern Festival gifts, and they are all in four colors: blue, red, white, and black, and there is no duplication. They should correspond to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. With the phrase "peace in all seasons", whether it is sincere or not, it will contribute a ray of blessing and wish power. This is not a method that most people can think of.'
While Chu Tai was communicating with Wu Chaoxi, he also asked Yaxian to find out this man's origins and found out that he was the reincarnation of Dachun Taoist Master.
"Is it Dachun Taoist behind this? Wait, I see..."
Chu Tai stood in the city and looked into the distance in the direction of Jicui Temple on Qingqi Mountain. The power of vows was rising above it, like a canopy or a treasure umbrella, covering one side. There were many lotus lamps flickering inside, using the power of vows as lamp oil, illuminating one side and suppressing the hostility in the city.
Chu Tai, who understood Taoist Dachun's thoughts, glanced at Feifei and suddenly thought of something.
After Feifei finished a portion of Yuanxiao, Chu Tai took him out of the city. He first sent a message to the other fellow Taoists who had gone down the mountain, and then set up an altar and asked Feifei to open the magic umbrella and stand in front of the altar and slowly turn it.
The shadows of the bamboos swayed, and the breeze blew gently. Feifei followed Chu Tai's request and activated the jade characters of the Heavenly Book in her body, and the breeze began to flow over most of the southern part of the Chu State.
Chu Tai took out the Taiyi Ever-Brightening Lamp, and with the help of the wind, he used the Ever-Brightening Lamp as a guide to create a subtle resonance with the scent of lanterns from all over the place, and then brought together every blessing and small wish of this festival.
Especially in areas with emerging local legends such as the lantern-holding water master, the stove lantern fairy, and the Midu fire god, the lanterns can easily be associated with the Taiyi Changming Lantern in Chu Tai's hand.
Chu Tai flicked his long sleeves, and inexplicably recalled the Nuo dance he saw last year when he and Guo Shan were gathering energy during the transition from the old to the new year. The movements of his hands also changed, taking on a bit of the ancient sacrificial atmosphere.
Wu Chaoxi, who was originally standing on Chu Tai's shoulder, could not stand any longer. The Crow Immortal flew into the air and looked at Chu Tai and other places in the State of Chu.
At this time, lights that are invisible to ordinary people’s eyes rise up, and as the wind turns, they gather together many blessings and wishes, forming an illusory golden crow above the magic umbrella.
As the auras blended together, Feifei, who was dancing with Chu Tai, showed certain changes in the movements of turning her magic umbrella. As she raised and lowered her hands and feet, she drove the light on the eternal lamp, absorbing the lights of lanterns from all over the place and letting them converge on the Golden Crow, forming a light blue glow that looked like the morning light.
As Chu Tai rose into the air, the magic umbrella swept around. The light was like rippling water, which hit the lanterns and caused ripples. Between the ripples, there were waves. Fires splashed and fire danced, sweeping away the filth, foul air, hostility and evil spirits everywhere.
Wu Chaoxi, who was also under the light, was shocked and felt that he should dance along with the rising golden crow.
At the same time, waves of prayers inexplicably rang out in Wu Chaoxi's heart.
"The Emperor came out of Zhen, and the gods assisted him. Today is the beginning of spring, the beginning of farming..."
The Crow Immortal looked around and seemed to see a man wearing a mask similar to that of the Green Emperor, and then his vision became blurred.
'What's wrong with me? '
Happy Lantern Festival! Then I will report the results. The first order is less than 1, there are two leaders, and the monthly tickets have reached . Now I should owe more chapters. I would like to thank Aihao and Xuanlingjun for their rewards. Finally, "The emperor came from Zhen, and the gods assisted him. Today is the beginning of spring, the beginning of farming..." is from the prayer to the god Gou Mang.
