I Am Immortal

Chapter 683 The last game of chess

This stone monkey was completely ignorant when he was born, but only because he was tempered at the beginning. He understood the Taoist sect and understood the language. He went to bid farewell to the four directions. The most superior Taoist sect, with the golden light inside, was the enlightenment of one method and the enlightenment of all methods. accessible road.

The foundation of this stone monkey is so strong that even if it does not practice cultivation, it has a lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years.

And because he didn't know how to restrain himself, the majestic golden light only circulated in the body and gradually leaked out. Two golden lights shot out from his eyes, soaring into the sky and crashing into all directions. At this time, the Jade Emperor was He summoned two gods, Clairvoyant Eye and Shunfeng Er, to come here.

These two generals were anxious when they heard that the Jade Emperor suddenly summoned them personally. When they came here in a hurry, they happened to catch up with the two golden lights rising into the sky and shining in all directions. They also received the order from the Jade Emperor. Not daring to neglect, he immediately used his magical powers to take a look, and discovered what was happening on the Fairy Mountain on the bank of the East China Sea.

Although he was surprised, he still turned around and reported back to the Jade Emperor: "To the great emperor."

"The two golden lights just now were transformed from a stone monkey on a mountain in the East China Sea in the lower realm. However, they seemed to have a connection with the Tao. They worshiped from all directions there. They had a good foundation and contained golden light, so they collided with each other. Previously, The golden light in his eyes shoots towards Doufu. Now if he takes bait, water and food, the golden light will subside."

“Do you want me to go and capture this monkey?”

When the Jade Emperor heard this, the excitement just now gradually disappeared, and he was a little less interested. After hearing the reports from the two **** generals, he felt a little bit in love with Wu and Wu. He just waved his hand and said: "The creatures in the lower world, Since it is a mutant species born from the essence of heaven and earth, as long as it is not an obstacle to the innate gods and demons, let it be."

 “Just a monkey.”

 “You guys, let’s go down first.”

The two divine generals, Thousand Mile Eyes and Shunfeng Er, noticed that the Jade Emperor seemed to be in a bad mood. They looked at each other and both said: "Yes." Then they stepped back and evacuated from here. The Jade Emperor sighed and said to the side. Yang Jian said: "I thought it was Yu Jing who had returned. It seems that it was just my delusion after all."

Yang Jian always knew that the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Zhenwu was very good, so he replied:

"With the emperor's strength and means, the final calamity will definitely not be able to do anything to him. The emperor will return one day."

Jade Emperor smiled and said, "That's natural."

"That's all, there's no need to mention him. When you came back this time, you just mentioned those evil things. Now, you want to talk to me about it."

Yang Jian responded and began to slowly talk about the situation of the innate gods and demons today - since the war two thousand years ago, these innate gods and demons have indeed been arrogant for a period of time.

It is also because of the existence of these innate gods and demons that they have become Yang Jian's rivals and enemies on the path of cultivation. He has fought countless times and made breakthroughs in battle more than once. It can be said that Yang Jian became famous by stepping on the corpses of these innate gods and demons. of.

Although these gods and demons are still extremely wanton and arrogant today, their scope of activities is constantly being squeezed out by the six realms.

 The trend of its decadence is extremely obvious.

"According to this, with hundreds of more years of suppression, the six realms can join forces to strangle and pacify these remnants of gods and demons in one go!"

Yang Jian spoke calmly, analyzing and explaining the current situation for the Jade Emperor.

　　…………

In the Ruizhu Palace, Empress Houtu opened her eyes and looked at Emperor Wa. Empress Wa held her child in her arms and asked. Empress Houtu sighed and explained helplessly: "It's not that Wu Huo has returned. Previously. Such a big movement happened outside the East China Sea, on an immortal mountain, an immortal stone burst open."

"This immortal stone itself is on the node of my earth's veins. It has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, the light of the sun and the moon for thousands of years. Today, for some unknown reason, it suddenly burst open, laid an egg, and turned into a monkey in the wind. Speaking of which, this monkey... It has something to do with Wu Huo."

Emperor Wa was puzzled.

The Empress of Houtu Emperor told the story about what happened to the demon clan that year, such as the demon emperor Taixiao, Qing Jingwei, and the raising of the holy fetus. Finally, she said: "This monkey himself is the original saint. The fetus has been created many times before it turned into this appearance. With its brave feet and natural understanding, its future achievements may be limitless."

Empress Wa nodded. Bixia in her arms had fallen into a deep sleep. In her dream, her little hands were still tightly grasping Empress Wa's clothes, and she was whispering something in her sleep. Empress Wa's eyes showed some pity and pity. Said: "It's a pity that her father is not back after all..."

 The Empress of the Empress Dowager sighed.

 But it is in a mountainous place.

The green mountains are faint and the sky is blue. Smoke rises from cooking fires at the foot of the mountain. People come and go, but it is a lively town. It has been said since ancient times that people rely on the mountains to eat mountains and the sea to eat the sea. Since ancient times, this town has relied on these green mountains behind it. Those who lived had nothing to eat. They hunted and gathered fruits in the mountains. When they got sick, there were medicinal herbs in the mountains.

When it's cold in winter, even the tall mountains can block the cold wind and wave from the north for the town below. There are also many trees growing there. The woodcutter comes up the mountain, chops trees and firewood, and carries them back down the mountain to burn. They turn the wood into charcoal and then sell it along the street. Some woodcutters are too lazy to do this step and just send the firewood directly to the charcoal seller.

Although it was decades ago, the Mohist masters paved government roads into this town.

 Name is the official way.

Iron horses galloped back and forth. Since then, the town that has lived in seclusion in the mountains for generations has also had external contact. People went out and brought back books, scrolls, jade slips, and delicious food from the outside world. The town gradually became prosperous, and some The old professions have disappeared, but the woodcutter still exists.

There is also spirituality in the mountains. Three hundred years ago, there was a mechanism created by the Mohist master, which uprooted all the spiritual grass on the mountains and left no trees, creating a large area of ​​barren mountains and wild ridges, which made the earth angry. , after many conflicts that year, an agreement was finally made.

The gods of the mountains allow the human world to pick things from the mountains without destroying the balance of the entire earth's veins. In the human world, when cutting down, new trees need to be planted; when picking elixirs, the roots cannot be dug out, only the roots must be dug out. Take medicinal fruits, branches and leaves. All living things, people walk among them. Today, the woodcutter Zhao read the post that he needed the branches of a certain kind of spiritual tree as a medicine. He recalled it in his heart and remembered that he had seen it on the other side of the mountain in the past. This tree received this post, carried the basket on its back, and spoke to the parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law at home.

 Lifting the smooth and sharp axe, he shouted towards home:

 “Dad, Mom, I’m going up the mountain!”

The old man was tending the two vegetable gardens without looking back.

He and his youngest son, Zhao Qiaofu, had a big quarrel over the marriage. The father and son were just getting angry here. His old wife glared at him, picked up the food box and handed it to him. The son, who was about to go up the mountain, said: "Take it, this mountain is not small, your feet are so strong that it will take you a whole day to walk."

 “Oh, mother, I don’t need it, it’s a lot of trouble to carry this thing.”

"It doesn't matter! Just take it. Don't think that you are young and in good health. If you don't pay attention now, when you get to your age, you will suffer. Just take it."

"Have you put on the warm clothes inside? Don't carry it on yourself. Spring has just begun, in March and April, and it will still be cold for a while. Don't get sick from the cold."

The old woman muttered for a long time, and the woodcutter felt a little annoyed. He quickly stuffed the food box into his cotton-padded jacket, waved his hand and said, "I know, I know, it's true. Mom, it's windy outside. You Go back soon, stop talking."

 “I’m leaving!”

He waved his hand and ran from the door of his house to the mountain road as if running away. The old woman watched her son go away. When she came back to her senses, she saw that her old man was still sitting there holding a small stool and said: "You It’s you, you’re so old, why are you arguing with him?”

"He likes the butcher's daughter who sells meat. Just go and talk about it. Is it possible that the things you did when you two were young will affect your children?"

The old man had no choice but to say: "Then I have to ask this kid to talk to me properly. How can any son talk to me in a loud voice?!"

The old woman knew that he was actually a little resigned, so she smiled and said: "You two, one is competing against the other for your stubborn temper. OK, OK, I will go to Butcher Zhang's house to cut off two pounds of front leg meat, and then go to beat one pound." Wine, tonight, you two will have a good meal and two glasses of wine, and just talk about it."

The old man didn’t say anything, but when his wife went out, he said stubbornly:

 “Go and buy that Shaohuodaozi wine.”

"Ah? Didn't you say that this wine is too expensive and you are reluctant to drink it?"

The old man said in a muffled voice: "It's still cold in spring. He went up the mountain all day. His hands and feet will be numb from the cold when he comes back. Buy him some good wine to warm up."

His wife understood what her old man meant and said with a smile: "Okay!"

I was immediately happy and carried a bamboo basket to Butcher Zhang's house. When I was buying meat, the daughter of Butcher Zhang's family was watching beside me. She looked at Wen Wen quietly. She liked it no matter how much she looked at it. The smile on her face couldn't stop. Just thinking about it, after my children come back today, they will talk about everything at this dinner table.

 The marriage will be decided this year.

Zhao Ji carried his ax up the mountain. Yesterday, he banged the table with his old man and yelled. He was very depressed. He later regretted it, but he was a young man with thin skin. He didn't know how to apologize to his old man. He was so depressed. After a while, he roared a few times and struck the tree next to him with the ax in his hand, causing the tree to rattle.

After scaring away several fat rabbits, the woodcutter practiced a Zajia technique. His body was light and he caught up with him in a few steps. He didn't know the direction and just ran after one of them. Suddenly, with sharp eyes, he fished for the moon under the water and raised it. His hand caught a plump rabbit. The rabbit was struggling in his hand, but how could he get out of it?

Zhao Ji **** the rabbit and threw it into his bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "By the way, the old man likes to drink wine the most. I went back today to make this rabbit and talk to him about it. The relationship between father and son As long as we talk about things, what can't be said?"

He thought about yesterday when he was shouting with his father, and when he got angry, he slapped his hand on the table and roared. At that time, he suddenly found that his father, who was so tall in his memory, had become much smaller. When he stood up, he could almost cover him. On fire.

 “I’m getting old too.”

With emotion, he picked up the ax and looked around, only to find that this area was unfamiliar. He had been coming and going on this mountain before, but he didn't even know where he was. Although this mountain was said to be a back mountain, in fact, It is also huge, and the terrain is complex. Even the most experienced old hunter and woodcutter cannot be said to be able to visit every place and recognize them all.

Fortunately, I saw a stream in front of me, so I am not afraid of the water. If I follow the stream, I can always find the exit. Even if I am not near my town, I can always find out if I encounter a mountain village and ask the people who live in the mountain. Wherever he went, there was an exit.

Zhao Ji'an calmed down and walked forward, humming a tune from the mountain. He didn't know how far he had walked, but he became a little confused. Although the mountain was not small, was it really that big? Gradually, I felt worried, and my expression became solemn. After walking for a full hour or two, it was already midday, and I still couldn't find the exit.

  turned around a few more times, only to find that the view ahead was wide and they saw two people.

A Taoist wearing a black robe with hanging black hair; the other is a tall and powerful man with a majestic spirit. The two are sitting opposite each other by the stream. There is a stone table in front of them, with a chess game on it, and they are playing chess.

The woodcutter was overjoyed when he saw the man.

Without caring about anything else, he walked quickly.

　　Strode to the front of the chess board.
