Chapter 231: Lady of the Nine Heavens: How Could I Make a Mistake
According to the information collected by Cao Jie, Lady of the West can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor period.
Legend has it that in ancient times, when Huangdi had been on the throne for twenty-two years, he treated the wise and humble with respect, cultivated himself and accumulated virtue, but Chiyou was cruel and brutal.
In order to save the people, he rose up to fight against Chiyou.
Huangdi fought fiercely with Chiyou in Zhuolu. Although Huangdi had the help of two sages, Fenghou and Limu, he still failed to win after nine battles.
Chi You relied on his sorcery to change his ways, calling the wind and rain, blowing smoke and spraying mist, causing thick fog for three days and three nights. The soldiers could not see the sky and had difficulty in distinguishing the directions of mountains and rivers. He trapped Huangdi under Mount Tai in Jinyang.
Huangdi saw that his soldiers were unable to fight, so he led them back to the hilltops of Mount Tai, where he slept in worry at night.
So Huangdi prayed devoutly on Mount Tai, and finally the Queen Mother of the West was deeply moved.
The Queen Mother of the West sent an envoy to first grant the true talisman to Huangdi to wear, and then ordered Xuannv to come and teach him the Three Palaces and Five Meanings, the strategy of Yin and Yang, the art of Taiyi Dunjia, Liuren Bu Dou, the mechanism of Yin Fu, the text of Lingbao's Five Talismans and Five Victories, as well as military talismans, seals and swords.
At this point, Lady of the West became the master of Emperor Huang.
In order to defeat Chiyou, the Queen Mother of the West ordered the soldier Zai Kui Niu to make eighty war drums. After getting the assistance of the Queen Mother of the West, Huangdi led his troops to fight Chiyou in Zhongji.
After Huangdi set up the "Qi Men Dun Jia" formation, he ordered his soldiers to use the bones of thunder beasts to beat eighty huge drums made of Kui cow hide. The drums sounded loudly, with one hit shaking a radius of five hundred miles, and consecutive hits could shake a radius of three thousand eight hundred miles.
The entire battlefield was shaking, the sky was spinning, and the shouts of killing reached the sky, making Chiyou's soldiers dizzy and unable to charge. They were defeated like a mountain.
"Chiyou had a copper head and ate stones", that is, he ate stones as food, and could "fly through the air and take risks". However, with the sound of Kuiniu drums, "nine strikes stopped him, and he still couldn't run, so he was killed.
After this bloody battle, the world finally gained stability.
Huangdi's military strategies for victory and the art of ascending to heaven were all taught by the Lady of the Nine Heavens in the Nanshan Mountains. These included the Yin-Yang bedroom art of "controlling three thousand women and ascending to heaven in broad daylight."
Although Cao Jie felt uneasy after accidentally entering the realm of Xuannv, he was actually more expectant.
He followed Song Jiang here just to try his luck.
Whether there are dates or not, just play a shot!
It's worth taking a small risk and sapping some energy!
Taking a deep breath, Cao Jie strode into the Lingxing Gate.
The first thing you see is a dragon terrace, with red pillars under the two corridors, all hung with embroidered curtains. In the middle is a large hall, with bright lights and candles.
The girl in green led the way from the dragon steps to the platform step by step. There were several more people in green in front of the steps of the palace saying, "The Queen invites you. Star Lord, come in!"
When Cao Jie arrived at the main hall, he felt his skin trembling and his hair standing on end.
The man in green entered the curtain and said, "Please go to the steps where the Star Lord is."
Cao Jie walked to the steps in front of the curtain, bowed, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said steadily and forcefully: "I am a lowly commoner, and I don't know Your Majesty. I hope that God will be merciful and show me mercy!"
A voice full of imagination sounded from behind the imperial curtain: "Please ask Star Master to take a seat."
Cao Jie couldn't see the scenery behind the curtain clearly, so he had to sit down on the brocade cushion.
The next second, someone in the hall shouted "Roll up the curtain!", and several people in green rolled up the red curtain like the flying fairies of Dunhuang and hung it on the golden hook.
"Star Lord, are you alright?"
"It's okay!"
Cao Jie's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw the hall ablaze with gold and jade, with dragon lanterns and phoenix candles lit. On both sides were girls in blue, holding tablets and sceptres, and attendants holding banners and fans. In the middle, on a seven-treasure nine-dragon bed, sat the Goddess of the Nine Heavens.
But I saw: her hair was tied in a nine-dragon flying phoenix bun, and she was wearing a golden thread crimson silk dress. She wore a long blue jade belt, and a white jade scepter on her colorful sleeves. Her face was like a lotus calyx, her eyebrows and eyes were naturally like clouds; her lips were like cherries, and her body was naturally snow-white. She looked like the Queen Mother feasting on peaches, but also like Chang'e living in the Moon Palace. It was difficult to describe her dignified appearance, and it was difficult to paint her majestic image.
hiss!
'Don't look at anything indecent, don't look at anything indecent!'
Cao Jie immediately calmed himself down, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, hiding his charming thoughts deep in his heart.
But just as he was about to open his mouth, the empress on the seven-treasure nine-dragon bed looked over at him intently.
In the unknown and illusory place, in the fairy palace of the thirty-three heavens, the real body of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady cried out: "Hey!" 'Who is this? Why is he not the Star Lord who taught the Dharma last time?'
'Did you invite the wrong person?'
The Lady of the Nine Heavens sat cross-legged and counted with her fingers: "There is a method of returning wind and returning fire in cultivation, and there is also the way of dual cultivation. This is indeed the Taoism I taught! How..."
Across infinite time and space, Xuannv looked at Cao Jie through the barrier of chaos.
In just a moment, countless information was obtained.
The man is indeed not the same person as before, but he is surrounded by stars and corresponds to the stars in the sky, so he is undoubtedly the star master.
If it's right this time, then it was wrong last time.
The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly. Although it was only a small calamity in the mortal world, it only concerned the response of some small stars in the heavenly court to the calamity. Even if something went wrong, it would not affect her real body.
But...when Emperor Huangdi unified the nine provinces, nothing went wrong. How could something go wrong in this small reincarnation?
The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.
This slight change immediately made Xuannv take it seriously.
The divine consciousness passed through infinite time and space and landed on the clone.
All this happened in a flash, and Cao Jie just relaxed his mind a little, not daring to let any wild thoughts run wild.
The lady became lively instantly, and it was as if a vast starry sky appeared in her eyes. She said, "Since the Star Lord is here, let's have a drink first."
Two girls in green came holding a golden vase with rare flowers and brought wine over to pour into the jade cup.
A girl in the lead held a jade cup and offered wine to Cao Jie. Cao Jie stood up, not daring to refuse, and took the jade cup and drank a glass to the empress.
Cao Jie felt that the wine was fragrant and delicious, like a sudden enlightenment and sweet dew that filled his heart.
Another man in green clothes brought over a plate of fairy dates and went up to persuade Cao Jie.
Cao Jie accepted all the food that came to him and ate it, holding the core in his hand.
Qingyi poured another glass of wine to persuade Cao Jie, and Cao Jie drank it all in one gulp.
Before I knew it, I felt a little intoxicated and dizzy by the spring scenery.
Xuan Nu looked at him with great interest, thinking to herself: This star master has a unique fate, and is protected by many stars. He has the potential to conquer the nine states and compete for the throne of the world. Could it be that something unexpected has happened in the lower world? This is good too. After some experience, he will have made great progress when he returns to his position in the future.
After carefully calculating the star master, I felt that the wind and rain were blowing and the starlight was dim.
Thinking of this, Xuannv threw it aside.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since she has failed in the training, is it still up to her, the great Lady of the Nine Heavens, to change her fate?
The laws of nature are subject to change.
Everything is changing.
Therefore, Xuannv did not pass on the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to Cao Jie. Seeing that he was already drunk, she said, "Because the Star Lord's evil heart has not been eliminated and his Taoism has not been completed, he is temporarily punished to the lower world and will return to the Purple Palace soon. You must not forget anything. If you are punished to go to Fengdu in the future, I will not be able to save you. Today, the immortals and mortals are separated, and it is difficult to stay for long. You should return quickly."
Cao Jie was a good drinker, so he thanked the empress and followed the girl in green clothes down to the palace. He went out of the Lingxing Gate and was escorted to the stone bridge.
Qing Yi said, "Star Master, look at the two dragons playing in the water under the stone bridge."
When Cao Jie leaned over the railing and looked, he saw two dragons playing in the water.
The two men in green pushed him down.
Cao Jie screamed, his soul crashed into his real body, like a dream.
