My mythology is different from yours

The ghosts and demons near Xiye Town were subdued and dispelled overnight. The divine power of Erlang Zhenjun remained in the mountains, and the light of the Monkey King Buddha melted in the valleys of the plain. For a long time, there was no need to worry about evil spirits and ghosts making trouble.

After this incident, people also discovered that the gods are not so far away, they can receive the incense and fire gods, even in a remote place like Xiye Town, Empress Xuancheng still remembers it in her heart.

Thanks to the blessings of the gods, the people in the town rebuilt the temple of Xuansheng Yuanjun, and added a new day of worship to the gods in the old calendar.The gods of Waterman and Tiger were no longer there, and they could no longer have their own temples independently, so the residents of the town added two niches in the temple of Grand Duke Nguyen Thien, hoping that the incense could help them to cultivate again.

Xuanzhi was exhausted too much, and after three days in the spirit-guiding formation set up by His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, he finally stabilized the spirit foundation and did not fall to the foundation-building stage.When she left the customs, she heard that the residents of the town hoped to build a temple on the site where the Yuanjun Temple was located, and build two temples to worship the Erlang God and the Great Sage respectively.

It's good for them to have such a heart, of course Xuanzhi would not refuse, but when casting the portrait, he encountered the same problem as when he was in Jiuli City.

The portraits fade quickly, and the statues of gods cast from jade will show cracks immediately when they are completed.

However, this did not dampen people's enthusiasm. If the portrait faded, it would be recolored, and if the statue of the god was cracked, it would be repaired again.The residents of the town did not despise the two gods who saved Xiye Town just because the portraits faded.

For the rest of the life after the catastrophe, a god sacrifice is also needed to calm people's hearts and place their faith.According to the custom of Daxuan, when the gods enter a place, there will be sacrifices to the wandering gods.

When worshiping the gods, the gods will be put on the sedan chair, parade around, accept the people's incense and worship, hold some activities related to the gods, and finally send the gods who have been sacrificed by everyone to the main temple Make incense offerings.

After Xuanzhi heard about this local custom, she understood the purpose of what Empress Xuancheng said to her in her dream. If she wanted to praise the deeds of the gods, she could just use this tour to worship the gods.

She heard from Qu Yinliu that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven sent down thunder to kill demons, and True Monarch Erlang split mountains and rivers. These two events will be compiled into scripts and operas to be sung and performed while wandering the gods.

Xuan Zhi thought, these two things are not enough.She asked Qu Yinliu to invite the gentlemen who were in charge of the Wandering God's sacrificial performance to form a temporary creative team, and planned to tell them about the deeds of these two gods, and then they would compile them into scripts, operas, and ballads such as.

His Majesty the Ghost Emperor came back from his travels in Xiye Town. As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Xuanzhi talking about monkeys again. She was standing among a group of people, her eyes were shining brightly, her voice was clear and clear, and she spoke happily, as if she didn't feel tired at all.

In the middle of her talk, someone asked: "I only heard that the fairyland is ruled by twelve righteous gods and has twelve courts of gods, and the gods of the fairy world are all under the jurisdiction of the twelve courts of gods. I don't know which one is the master of the Jade Emperor?"

Xuanzhi explained: "The Jade Emperor does not belong to any divine court. He has nothing to do with the twelve righteous gods in the fairy world. Gentlemen, you can treat this as a completely independent divine system. The Jade Emperor is the master of the Heavenly Palace. , the three realms of heaven, earth and man are under his management."

"The land that the girl mentioned is probably the Beiming Ghost Realm. Does the Beiming Ghost Emperor also belong to the Jade Emperor?" Everyone was full of doubts, and felt that this kind of overturning cognition was a bit outrageous.

Xuan Zhi looked up, and saw Shen Tutao leaning against the door, looking at her with a half-smile.

Xuan Zhi: "..." The Jade Emperor doesn't care about the Ghost Emperor, but the Jade Emperor cares about the King of Hades.

The Chinese mythology system is too complicated, and she can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. Just a "Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace", this troubled Heavenly Palace is completely different from the structure of the fairy world in this world.

For people in this world, the god system like the twelve righteous gods is as deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people as the Chinese gods like the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and it is the consensus of everyone.

Even if they were asked to separate the two and look at them independently, it would be difficult to do so.

Xuanzhi thought for a while, and decided not to tell the story in the order of Journey to the West. She told the story of the great sage who was born from the fairy stone, who learned the skills of mastering the sky by crossing the sea, and chose a few stories about the great sage who subdued demons on the way to learn the scriptures. Telling them, it's like the great sage killing demons in Xiye Town. Now the gentlemen are much more excited, and their pens are shaking fast.

When talking about God Erlang splitting the mountain to save his mother, Xuanzhi also ambiguously explained the Heavenly Court, saying only that God Erlang's mother went down to the realm to combine with mortals, violated the rules of heaven, and was crushed under Taoshan Mountain.

There is no need for Xuan Zhi to explain this story, because in this world, the combination of gods and humans in the lower realm is also not allowed by the rules of heaven.But often the more impermissible the shackles, the more they will be eager to break. This law exists no matter which world it is in.

Therefore, there are also legends of fairy falling in love with mortals in this world.Such a matching point made everyone feel that this heroic and filial god is not so strange.

Xuanzhi sent away the creative team of Wandering God Sacrifice, and his throat was almost hoarse.She looked down and saw the teacup Shen Tutao handed over, took a few gulps of Gulu Gulu, gently rubbed her throat with her fingertips, and asked, "Where has your Majesty been these past few days? I don't seem to feel you Back to Beiming?"

Shen Tutao came to the human world through the ghost order, if she wants to go back to Beiming, she, as the bearer, can feel it.

After Xuanzhi woke up, he didn't see much of him, of course, because she didn't have much free time.

"Walking around." Shen Tutao said vaguely.

Xuanzhi looked at him suspiciously, his eyes moved slightly, "Did Your Majesty go to see the fruit of the mountain peach tree?"

Shen Tutao: "..." He was silent for a moment, his expression turned cold, "There is no fruit." By saying that, he admitted that he had watched it.

Xuanzhi was very speechless and said: "Your Majesty, the flowers will not bear fruit so soon after they wither, it may take until May and June to see the fruit emerge, and it will take longer for the fruit to mature. It is useless for you to worry."

Shen Tutao wished to engrave a formation that would speed up the passage of time on that peach tree. Of course, if he wanted to, he could make any formation, but he couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if he used the formation.

Seeing that he was really in a bad mood, Xuanzhi comforted him and said, "We still have a few days to prepare for the sacrifice of Youshen, we can go back and look at your tree."

"No, I can feel how it's growing." After the flowers withered, they just went to grow leaves.

"But I can't feel it." Xuan Zhi let out a breath, and said with her hands on her hips, "At any rate, I can be regarded as your majesty's pollinator, and I have the responsibility to pay attention to the growth of peach trees."

Shen Tutao thought for a moment, and felt that what she said made some sense.He really didn't have any living experience, and he didn't know whether the peach tree branch, which was like a strand of hair to him, was growing well. Just like at the beginning, he didn't know that peach blossoms also need pollination to bear fruit.

"You feel it directly." Shen Tutao stretched out his hand towards her.

Xuanzhi didn't expect to get this response at all, she subconsciously touched the slender palm of the paper figurine, and then opened her eyes wide and said, "Can I feel it directly?"

His Majesty the Ghost Emperor said solemnly: "Split a wisp of divine consciousness into my body."

Xuanzhi looked around, they were still standing in the courtyard, this was the residence of the monks behind the Xuansheng Yuanjun Temple, and monks from Xuansheng Sect came in and out from time to time.She took Shentu Tao's hand and pulled him into the wing where she lived.

Because it is a place for monks to clean up, the arrangement in the room is very simple, a square table, four small stools, a dressing table for nuns, a shelf by the wall, and a hard bed.

Xuan Zhi directly pulled him to the edge of the bed and sat down, then pressed his forehead to him, "Then I came in?"

Shen Tutao was already being pulled back and forth by her, and she was very impatient. He felt the warm breath on his face. He didn't want to get so close to her when he had time to breathe. Shen Tutao stretched out a stick Putting her fingers against her forehead, "What are you doing here?"

Xuanzhi blinked, "I don't know how to release my consciousness, I have to stick it to my forehead." When she contracted the talisman before, she pressed the talisman on her forehead again and again, and the lines on the talisman were almost burned to the ground. On the forehead.

What she is most proficient at now is probably to absorb spiritual energy into her body, and then refine it into her own true essence. Except for rubbing small flames and lighting incense, she really doesn't know anything about other techniques.

After building the foundation, you can practice exercises and learn spells.Xuan Zhi also asked monk Xuan Sheng to ask for a few basic exercises, but he didn't have time to study them carefully.

Shen Tutao had never met someone as lowly as her before, and His Majesty the Ghost Emperor pushed away the person who came past him and said, "Come by yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Zhi felt a chill between her brows, a ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated into her altar, first wrapped her entire spiritual consciousness, then pulled out a ray, and retreated from between her brows.

Surprisingly, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor was so cold that he was dying of cold, but through the entangled consciousness of the two, the aura directly transmitted to Xuanzhi's senses was very warm, like a warm spring breeze, making her a little comfortable and refreshed .

Xuanzhi trembled all over, tightened his fingers suddenly, grabbed his hand forcefully, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it feels so strange..."

Her strand of consciousness was tightly entangled by Shen Tutao, and she was brought out of the Lingtai, and then there was another scene in front of her eyes.

It was as if her soul had floated into the air, and she had an additional God's perspective. She saw her slightly undulating chest, her breathing was chaotic, her eyelashes kept trembling, her cheeks slowly turned red, and her eyes were dizzy with mist. Eyes blurred.

She raised her wet eyes to look into the air, and glanced at herself—yes, she glanced at herself.This feeling was too weird, so Xuanzhi immediately lowered his eyes again.

Opposite her, His Majesty the Ghost Emperor didn't respond, his paper figure body was as motionless as a mountain, and he looked at Xuan Zhi's reaction suspiciously.

His eyes swept across her flushed cheeks and eyes full of tears, she looked really uncomfortable, Shen Tutao hesitated a little.His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has never used his spiritual sense to get so close to others, so he never thought about the impact of being connected with his divine sense.

"I, I don't want to see the peach tree anymore, Your Majesty, please let me go..." Xuanzhi bit her lower lip, trying to control her breathing and said.

"Be patient, it will be over soon." Shen Tutao flatly refused, closed his eyes and stopped looking at her, his spiritual consciousness was entangled with Xuanzhi and quickly dragged into his body, and sent it to his own body.

Xuanzhi could only close her eyes passively, her spiritual consciousness was pulled into darkness by him, her senses were instantly overwhelmed by the coldness, at this moment, Xuanzhi thought that she had turned into that dead giant tree on Duxu Mountain From the inside to the outside, there is a rotten, cold and dead air, and the whole Beiming is heavy on the body.

But this feeling was only for a short moment, Xuanzhi was dragged into the thin peach branch in Huiying Hall, the end of this section of the big peach tree was alive, Xuanzhi felt relieved, and felt that he was alive again come over.

"A lot of leaves have grown." Shen Tutao let go of her consciousness and said.

Xuanzhi took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating senses, and felt through his spiritual sense that His Majesty the Ghost Emperor has indeed grown a lot of leaves, which can be called luxuriant.Every branch, every inch of bark, every green leaf is watery, tender, full of vigorous vitality, and has a fresh woody fragrance.

There are more formations around the courtyard, like an indestructible shell that separates the world from the earth, protecting this precious single seedling layer upon layer.

"How?" Shen Tutao asked again.

Xuanzhi's consciousness flowed through the branches of the peach tree, and after seeing the tiny buds on the branches one by one, Shen Tutao said unhappily, "Don't run around."

"I always have to look carefully before I can answer you." Xuan Zhi said unconvinced, and asked again, but no one was allowed to look.

Shen Tutao was silent for a moment, and was about to throw back her consciousness, when Xuan Zhi let out a sigh and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this bud seems to be different from others, maybe it will bear fruit."

Shen Tutao immediately went to check the place she mentioned, but he really didn't feel any difference.

Xuanzhi's spiritual sense carefully inspected every branch of the peach tree, "It seems that there are five buds that are different from others. If this is the fruit, then congratulations, Your Majesty is pregnant with five buds." What about the fetus?"

But quintuplets seem to be too few for fruit trees.

Your majesty's fruit setting rate is really low.
