Chapter 131 Game (Part 1)
Since it is a "game" rather than a sword fight, it means that it is not about comparing one's ability to fight with others, but more about testing one's mind. For Zhang Yuelu, the advantage is that Xuanji will not rely on her realm to defeat ten people with one force, but the disadvantage is that the rules are set by Xuanji, Xuanji sets the questions, and Zhang Yuelu solves them.
Zhang Yuelu pondered for a moment, did not turn around and leave, but walked towards the alley.
Because of the snow, the sky was originally gloomy, and the alley was even darker. At the end of it was a black lacquered door with two door knockers with green rust on it.
Zhang Yuelu came to the door and first stretched out her hand to push it, but the door did not move. She had to reach out and grab the door knocker and pat it.
After a while, accompanied by the creaking sound of the door hinge turning, the door opened by itself, and behind the door was a dark hole, and nothing could be seen clearly, even if Zhang Yuelu used the "Immortal Vision Technique".
Zhang Yuelu wanted to say "playing tricks", but then he thought, the Purple Light Society believes in ancient immortals, and is originally a kind of ghost and god, so there is no need to play tricks.
Zhang Yuelu simply took off his cloak, revealing the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes", and took out the "Wuxiang Paper", and then stepped into the gate.
After passing this gate, there are two worlds.
Behind the door is not a dirty brothel, but a wilderness, with a large lake in the distance and a starry sky above the head.
Just like the poem that often appears in the storybook - after being drunk, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the clear dreams on the boat are overwhelming the starry sky.
However, Zhang Yuelu did not have the leisure and elegance to appreciate the scenery at this time. He looked solemnly and observed the four directions, with purple air flowing in his eyes.
But the "Immortal Qi-Seeing Technique" returned in vain.
This surprised Zhang Yuelu very much. It is not surprising that the "Immortal Qi-Seeing Technique" cannot see through the reality of others. This is the case when encountering people who are much higher than himself. But at this time, the "Immortal Vision Technique" was not impenetrable, but fell into the void. There was nothing in front of him, so what could he "see"?
This was something he had never encountered before.
At this moment, Xuanji's voice sounded from all directions, ethereal and unpredictable: "Zhang Gaogong, since you have entered this place, the game has officially begun."
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "Please tell me the rules."
"In fact, the rules are very simple." Xuanji still only heard the voice but did not see the person, "Children's trick, hide and seek. I am hiding in this small world. If Zhang Gaogong can find me within an hour, then even if Zhang Gaogong wins, our Ziguang Society abides by the agreement and fulfills its due responsibilities. If Zhang Gaogong cannot find me within an hour, then even if Zhang Gaogong loses, from now on, we can be sisters and work together for the same master."
Zhang Yuelu pursed her lips and looked around again.
She found that after Xuanji announced the rules, a bronze tripod appeared on the night sky. It could be clearly seen from a distance. A giant pillar-like incense stick was inserted into it. The green and red incense head flickered and purple smoke curled up.
Xuanji continued, "Of course, it is really difficult for Zhang Gaogong to find such a large place out of thin air. I will also give Zhang Gaogong some hints. I guarantee in the name of the queen that these hints are true. The next is the first hint."
Zhang Yuelu did not try to find Xuanji's location through some magical powers. First, she occupied the geographical advantage, and second, the difference between their realms was too great, so she chose to concentrate and listen.
"Three, four, five, like a bow, fifteen and sixteen are majestic. Everyone says that I live thirty years, and twenty-eight or twenty-nine will see me off." Xuanji said, "It's not difficult to guess."
After the voice fell, she was silent. I don't know if she has gone far away, or kept quiet, and continued to observe Zhang Yuelu in secret.
Zhang Yuelu just frowned and thought for a moment, and then guessed the answer.
This riddle is about the moon.
At the beginning of the month, it is like a bow, which is a crescent moon. In the middle of the month, it is a full moon. At the end of the month, it is a full moon again.
She looked up and saw the night sky was full of stars.
The appearance of Zi Guang Zhenjun is slightly inferior to that of Qingdi and Siming Zhenjun, who are in charge of life and death, but Zi Guang Zhenjun is the master of all stars. At first glance, it seems a bit contradictory, because Qingdi and Siming Zhenjun are in charge of the Southern Dipper and the Northern Dipper respectively, and are both star masters, and even Taiyin Zhenjun and Taiyang Zhenjun are also considered star masters.
Strictly speaking, Zi Guang Zhenjun is the mother of all stars, also known as Madam Zi Guang, and is higher in seniority than other star masters. It's just that the achievements of later generations are not necessarily lower than those of their predecessors. In addition, Zi Guang Zhenjun died too early, and naturally he was surpassed by others after his death. This is not surprising. When Zu Tianshi was still a child, Wu Luo was already a high-ranking witch goddess. Together with other great witches, she led the ancient witch cult and was worshipped by people. The gap between the two was more than the difference between heaven and earth. But in the end, Wu Luo died under the sword of Zu Tianshi, a junior, and even the entire ancient witch cult was destroyed by the Tianshi cult founded by Zu Tianshi.
It is precisely because of the turnover of human affairs that the past and present are connected.
Zi Guang Zhenjun is the master of the stars, symbolizing the stars in the sky, so the bright moon is Taiyin Zhenjun.
Now Taiyin Zhenjun is no longer in the world, is there still a cave left by Taiyin Zhenjun here?
Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, then soared into the air and flew towards the bright moon.
After all, this is not the real world, maybe she can try to stand on the moon.
Soon, a bright moon was in sight, as if she could touch it with her hand, and she could even faintly see a looming pavilion and palace on the bright moon, which should be the legendary Guanghan Palace.
Zhang Yuelu was wearing the "Taiyi Cloud Clothes" with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if she was the Guanghan Fairy flying to the moon.
However, Zhang Yuelu soon discovered that after the initial period of time, the distance between her and the moon seemed to be constant and never got closer. The bright moon that seems within reach is actually out of reach, like a phantom.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu suddenly woke up. This was simply a false illusion. It was impossible for Taiyin Zhenjun's Guanghan Palace to appear here. She was misled by Xuanji's riddle.
At the same time, Xuanji's voice also sounded in Zhang Yuelu's ears, with a hint of smile: "Zhang Gaogong, you woke up a little late."
Zhang Yuelu immediately glanced at the blue-red incense head.
The key to the game is not guessing, but time. The reason Xuanji wants to mislead her is to waste time.
She wasted nearly two moments trying to fly to the moon.
However, Xuanji promised at the beginning of the game that her hints were true.
Since the prompt is real and the moon in front of you is fake, it means there is a real moon.
Where is the second moon?
Zhang Yuelu is an extremely smart person, and he immediately thought of the allusion about the moon from the Confucian Neo-Confucian sage: The moon is reflected in thousands of rivers, one moon hangs high in the night sky, but countless moons can be seen in the rivers and lakes of the world, and countless moons will eventually return to the world. A moon means that heaven is the origin of all things.
She looked down at her feet.
There is a moon in the sky and a moon in the water.
Normally, the moon in the sky is real and the moon in the water is fake. If the moon in the sky is fake, then the moon in the water is naturally real.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu stopped "running to the moon" in vain, let go of his body, and fell directly towards the lake below.
Xuanji's voice sounded at the right time: "Zhang Gaogong is indeed Zhang Gaogong, you can guess right."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuelu fell into the water and hit the shadow of the moon in the water.
There were no waves, and in an instant, the entire lake surface and the moon shadow in it became fragmented.
Zhang Yuelu sank to the bottom of the lake, as if he had entered the second world.
For heavenly beings, they can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and naturally they can also hold their breath.
The water of the lake is very clear, without any turbidity, which does not affect the sight.
At this time, there were many vague figures in the lake, like drowning people whose feet were entangled in water plants. The buoyancy of the lake kept them rising, but the fetters on their feet prevented them from floating on the water. They could only float in the lake. Floating and sinking.
In the middle of the circle surrounded by many figures, there was a dark round stone, with a person sitting on it. Different from the blur of those figures, this person's face was clearly visible, but it was not Xuanji, but a strange man.
Sensing Zhang Yuelu's arrival, the man slowly opened his eyes.
Xuanji's voice sounded again: "Second reminder, I vowed to wipe out the Xiongnu regardless of my own safety, and five thousand mink brocades were lost to Hu Chen. The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream."
Zhang Yuelu frowned. She knew this poem. The first four sentences were: "The Lord of the Han Dynasty sealed the east to report peace, and no one came to Jinque to discuss the border troops. Zong Rao captured the forest and Husai, and the mulberry and hemp seeds could not grow in the moraine." "
This reminded Zhang Yuelu of the experience of her uncle Shi Bingyun. She had voluntarily given up the fight for the position of successor of Cihang's lineage for a man, but the man died on the battlefield in the Western Regions.
The man said in a deep voice: "I am the remnant soul of Zhenjun Gouchen, and I can show you the future."
After saying that, he reached out and made a move, and a black shadow was pulled over by him, turning into a dreamy bubble, shrouding Zhang Yuelu in it, and making Zhang Yuelu immersed in the scene.
That was in Yujing Zixiao Palace.
Real people gathered in the hall, and there were countless Taoist priests outside the door.
Zhang Yuelu bathed in the mountain call, walked into the Zixiao Palace, walked up the steps step by step, and walked towards the position that symbolized the master of the Tao Sect.
Master Cihang was by her side, only half a body behind.
After that came the three deputy headmasters, Da Zhenren.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly felt as if someone carelessly patted her shoulder, and she vaguely saw a sleeve corner from the corner of her eye, which flashed away.
She stopped suddenly.
Master Cihang and the three deputy head masters also stopped.
They were a little confused and didn't understand why Zhang Yuelu stopped.
Zhang Yuelu turned his head hard and slowly and looked behind him.
She saw Master Cihang, the three deputy head masters, and then the other masters Pingzhang, thirty-six masters Shenzhi, and hundreds of other masters.
Everyone looked at her in awe.
Only the figure she expected to see was not there.
Is it an illusion?
Master Cihang asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yuelu hesitated: "Nothing."
She turned her head and continued towards the supreme place.
