Chapter 438 The Seven Arrows Book, This Monkey Wouldn't Think We Are His Parents, Right?
West Kunlun
Kunlun Fairy Mountain is transcendent from the mortal world.
There are many demons and immortals in the mountains, who harvest the essence of the sun and the moon, seize the creation of the heaven and the earth, live forever, and remain immortal.
Nine Heavens, the Capital under the Emperor, Yuxu Palace, Yaochi, Tianyong City, Qionghua Palace... countless strange and small worlds have become part of this sacred mountain and the cornerstone of the entire Eastern mythology.
"Half of the immortals in the world originated from Kunlun. Back then, I concealed my name and acted as a guest of Kunlun. This cave was the place where I enlightened and meditated."
Lu Ya personally poured tea for a white-faced and long-bearded Taoist: "A vulgar place is not as good as the Kunlun Yuxu, which made fellow Taoist Shen laugh."
"The prince's words are wrong! Although the Yuxu Palace is said to be golden on the outside, the whole sect is full of chaos. The old Antarctic dog is fighting against others all day long, showing off his power."
"Pindao felt uncomfortable when he saw them, but he feels much more comfortable here."
Shen Gongbao held the tea in both hands and drank it all in one gulp boldly: "Hahaha! I never thought that one day I, Shen Gongbao, would be able to drink tea cooked by the prince himself."
"Now that the human race is flourishing, the glory of our race has long since faded away."
Lu Ya's eyelids twitched slightly: "You and I have known each other for many years, so we might as well treat each other as fellow Taoists. The word 'prince' will make others laugh, so don't mention it."
"Since the prince doesn't want to listen, then I just need to change my mind."
Shen Gongbao twitched the corner of his mouth: "My friend Lu Dao has been dormant for thousands of years. Today, he suddenly came to the poor Taoist. I wonder what you are doing?"
"In the past, in the heaven, we and other demon saints and demon immortals all swore an oath in front of the Eastern Emperor to share weal and woe."
"After all these years, no matter what others think, I don't dare to break my promise."
Lu Ya smiled and said: "So the reason why Xiaodao invites me today is actually to make fellow Daoist Shen feel bad."
"Tell me something bad?"
Shen Gongbao was stunned for a moment: "I am afraid that Fellow Daoist Lu may have misunderstood. By chance, Pindao became the master of Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of Yuqing Cult. Nowadays, not many people in the Three Realms and Six Paths dare to cause trouble for Pindao."
"Among the Three Realms and Six Paths, there should be very few people who dare to provoke fellow Taoists."
Lu Ya's smile did not change: "But what about explaining the teaching?"
"Within the teachings?"
Shen Gongbao was silent for a moment, and his face gradually turned gloomy: "What do you want to say, fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Fellow Daoist Shen was originally a great demon who attained Taoism. He has been teaching and cultivating Taoism for thousands of years. He has already achieved the status of demon immortal. He is no less generous than those great Luo gods."
"I originally thought that fellow Taoist Shen had accumulated a lot of experience and was already one of the top figures in the teachings. I have been silently happy for fellow Taoist Master all these years."
"Who would have thought that Pindao met Yun Zhongzi recently and learned that the leader of Yuqing was so blind that he didn't even know how to reuse talents like fellow Taoist Shen, but instead allowed Jiang Ziya, a little kid with a yellow mouth, to occupy the magpie's nest and steal a high position."
Lu Ya's face was full of anger: "You and I are both old people in Heaven. Since we know that Fellow Daoist Shen is not living a happy life, how can I just sit back and watch?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu turns out to be so righteous..."
Shen Gongbao used to be just a younger brother in the ancient demon court. He had little chance of contact with Lu Ya and didn't know much about his behavior.
Seeing Lu Ya's indignant look, Shen Gongbao was quite moved: "I am using my villain's heart to judge a gentleman's belly."
"It doesn't matter. We are all our own people, so why bother about such trivial matters."
Lu Ya smiled: "Let's talk about Jiang Ziya."
"Hmph! That Jiang Ziya didn't stay in Kunlun for long, and I was just an acquaintance with him."
"But I think that man is good at flattery, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy he poured into the headmaster Tianzun. The headmaster not only gave him a lot of benefits, helped him assist the Xiqi Zhou family, but also made us all... He calls him 'senior brother'."
"By the way, when the headmaster Tianzun left, he made a special trip to let that old dog teach on his behalf, and ordered us all to obey his orders and deal with the catastrophe."
The more Shen Gongbao talked, the more annoyed he became: "Who do you think that Jiang Laogou is, and he dares to preside over such a big event? Don't you know that if morality is not matched, there will be disaster!"
"Oh? What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Shen?"
"Hmph! The headmaster Tianzun attaches great importance to that old dog. He thinks that the old dog can help Ji's country and the country for 800 years, but the poor Taoist will not accept this trick."
Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth: "When the headmaster left, I planned to buck the trend and help the Yin Shang defeat Xiqi, so that the old dog Jiang would be backlashed by cause and effect, and both heaven and man would be abandoned. This would also make the headmaster understand that Jiang An old dog is incompetent and has little wisdom, and is of no use at all.”
"This..., it turns out that Fellow Daoist Shen has this plan..."
Lu Ya was speechless for a while: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Shen has such great ambitions and acts so grandly. Once he takes action, he will control the whole world."
"Hey. Fellow Daoist Lu, what you said is wrong. I hate that old dog Jiang so much that I can't wait for these many days."
Shen Gongbao sighed and said: "But Jiang Laogou has won the trust of the headmaster Tianzun, and now even the Wuji apricot-yellow flag is kept by him. This is the flag of innate soil virtue and cannot be invaded by anything. I am really powerless, so I have to abandon the near and seek the far away."
"Although the Wuji Xinghuang Banner is famous, it cannot be said to be invulnerable to all attacks."
Lu Ya said with a smile: "But I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has ever heard of the Book of Seven Arrows?"
"This is the supreme magic spell created by the ancient demon saint. I have heard about it a little bit, but I heard that this technique has been lost long ago..., huh?"
Shen Gongbao suddenly realized: "Does Fellow Daoist Lu know the whereabouts of this method?"
"Hahaha! Without this skill, how dare I dare to come looking for my Taoist friend."
"Here, there are talismans and incantations on it. You and I will go back and set up a Dharma stand with it, light up the sky lanterns, tie two straw men together, write the names of 'Jiang Ziya' and 'Lin Xuan', and worship three times a day."
Lu Ya opened the flower basket and took out a scroll of talismans: "When the talismans are sealed and burned, these two people will be separated from their souls and will not enter the reincarnation. This catastrophe is imminent and the way of heaven is in chaos. Even the saints are afraid and it is difficult to know the cause."
"So simple?"
Shen Gongbao looked at the talisman carefully, his eyes flashing with strange light: "It seems that the old dog Jiang is unforgivable, and he deserves to end up like this."
"Actually, it's not too simple. Once the book of Seven Arrows is opened, it cannot be left without permission. Moreover, every visit consumes spiritual energy."
Lu Ya smiled bitterly and said: "My magic power is low. I have been depressed these years, and my cultivation has been declining. If not, I wouldn't bother Daoist Shen to take action."
"Brother Lu, don't belittle yourself! Leave such trivial matters to my younger brother."
Shen Gongbao hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask Brother Lu, who is this Lin Xuan? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"This person is a casual cultivator with little ability. But he is full of tricks and has a high status in Xiqi. He has ruined my affairs many times."
Lu Ya Tianhuo said: "To be honest, Ji Fa worships Jiang Ziya as his father-in-law, and it is this person who introduced him."
"That's it. No wonder I have never heard of this person's name."
"Hehe, a catastrophe is imminent, and even a mere casual cultivator dares to get involved. He is also a person who does not know whether to live or die!"
Shen Gongbao smiled and said: "Since fellow Taoist disciples don't like this person, then I can just get rid of him as well."
"We have fellow Taoist Lao Shen."
Lu Ya's eyes showed emotion, he saluted Shen Gongbao and smiled.
***
In the depths of the endless sea, a small boat rides through the wind and waves like an arrow, leaving a pale white mark.
At the end of the sky and sea, there are strange cliffs, strange rocks, and strange peaks, and a huge island is looming.
"Are we here?"
Lin Xuan perked up and reached out to pat Huang Rong's shoulder.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian also sent Daji to the Wa Palace, bringing news about Yao Yue.
Roughly speaking, Nuwa asked her to sit in the Wa Palace and command the demons.
But now there are several spiky-headed monsters who see her young and impetuous, and always want to make big news.
Although Yao Yue has no desire for power, she is extremely competitive. When encountering something like this, she will naturally compete to win.
All in all, now she needs to deal with the challenges of the demon clan and has no time to spare.
After a few months, after all the monsters have been defeated, it won't be too late to meet again.
Lin Xuan thought about it and realized that Yao Yue's assessment task was to dethrone the Shang King Zhou as the agent of Emperor Wa and reestablish the throne of the Chinese people.
Now that the demon clan is dissatisfied with her, the identity of the Emperor Wa's agent needs to be compromised.
Moreover, the catastrophe is imminent, and the position of the demon clan is also very important, and no hidden dangers can be left behind.
So Lin Xuan replied a letter to Yao Yue, and asked Jiang Ziya to pay attention to the whereabouts of Ao Xue and A Qing, and then went to the sea with Huang Rong.
I have been wandering on the road for more than half a month, but overall it went smoothly.
I also encountered a prehistoric megalodon sea shark, and two or three groups of evil cultivators who were killing people, stealing goods, and imprisoning souls at sea.
The megalodon was knocked to death by Huang Rong with a stick, while the evil cultivator used his remaining heat in the banner of the Human Emperor.
Everyone has a bright future.
"If nothing else happens, it should only be here..."
Huang Rong took out the sea map given by Empress Houtu and looked at it for a few times before exhaling a sullen breath: "This ghost place is really hard to find! Fortunately, I am smart. If I had been replaced by the Dragon King in Purple Shirt, I would definitely have died on the way. "
"Someone else taught you some navigation skills, so it's not good to curse them like this..."
Lin Xuan smiled: "But you are right. This place is really not easy to find. If I had to go there alone, it would take at least a few months."
When sailing in the sea, it is difficult to find the target accurately.
Even in the age of technology, if you deviate slightly from the mainstream route, various accidents may occur.
Although the Conferred God Plane is not as vast as the Jambu World, it is at least ten times larger than the Earth.
After the plane is raised, the area of the ocean will naturally increase dramatically. Even with accurate charting instruments, it is difficult to find an isolated island in the depths of the ocean.
Oh, Empress Houtu has never been to the plane of gods at all, and the marked sea map itself is a bit abstract.
Lin Xuan feels that the difficulty of finding Huaguo Mountain through this thing is not much easier than conquering the Grand Route and finding the great secret treasure...
No wonder in legends, it often took more than ten or decades for ancient immortals to go overseas.
I probably spent most of my time getting lost...
Speaking of which, these heavenly systems are not detailed enough and have not paid enough attention to the ocean.
Among the four emperors, Emperor Ziwei is the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, in charge of the heaven and earth.
The Antarctic Changsheng Emperor is in charge of the Nine Heavens Thunder; the Gou Chen Emperor is in charge of the two extremes and the three talents, and the military revolution between the masters; and the Queen of the Earth is in charge of the mountains, rivers, mountains, and the netherworld.
It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty, when Zhu Lin Moniang, a witch from Meizhou Island, became ‘Mazu’ that there was finally a deity in charge of maritime shipping.
Due to the problems of the times, Mazu's popularity is not very high, and in many planes, the shadow of the Queen of Heaven cannot be seen at all.
How can I put it, Poseidon is still very valuable.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Mazu contributes to the Conferred Gods Plane, we can enter the Age of Discovery ahead of schedule.
Therefore, since this time it involves conferring a god, we can also find another way to find a way to create a "Poseidon"...
Well, gaining control of the sea two thousand years ago must have had a huge impact on the entire Chinese civilization.
Lin Xuan felt that even King Wu's defeat of Zhou might not be comparable to him.

While talking, the boat had traveled more than a hundred miles and stopped steadily on the island.
The island has excellent greening, with jasmine and exotic flowers blooming, and forests of green pines and cypresses.
Longevity deer, fairy fox, and spiritual bird black crane can be seen everywhere in the forest. There are also macaques jumping around and picking wild fruits.
"It's true, it should be this thing."
The two of them walked around and took a look. After a while, they came to the top of the mountain and saw a huge fairy stone.
The immortal stone is three feet, six feet and five inches high according to the number of stars in the sky; it has nine orifices and eight holes, according to the nine palaces and eight trigrams.
There are no trees on all sides, and the scenery is so innocent that all the sun and the moon shine into it.
"Well, put the talisman on it."
Lin Xuan glanced at Huang Rong: "Don't hold back on your stick. If you break the stone, you'll be in trouble."
"Don't talk nonsense, how can I be so indifferent..."
Huang Rong shortened the golden cudgel into a short stick and inserted it on her waist: "Is this the talisman to stick on like this? Do you want to choose a good and auspicious day?"
"Empress Houtu didn't explain it, so there shouldn't be such a theory."
Lin Xuan laughed and said: "Besides, what kind of good and auspicious day is suitable for the birth of a stone monkey?"
"This monkey was born from the essence of heaven and earth. It must be unique. I made a mistake..."
Huang Rong shook her head, put the talisman on the fairy stone, and bowed slightly: "Brother Monkey, come out."
The moment the talisman came into contact with the fairy stone, a dazzling bright yellow flame suddenly burst out.
The flames of light flowed and slowly seeped into the fairy stone.
A thunderous explosion sounded, and the ground cracked and mountains collapsed.
The air wave surged, and the extremely solid fairy stone turned into powder, revealing a stone egg the size of a basketball.
The stone egg grows when the wind blows, turning into a stone monkey with all five senses and four limbs.
"Zhizhi?"
Stone Monkey stretched his muscles, looked at Lin Xuan and Huang Rong not far away, then lowered his head and looked carefully, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"Why is this monkey so stupid?"
Huang Rong's thoughts moved slightly, and she whispered: "Brother Lin, you said that small animals have some kind of 'imprinting effect', and they will regard the first living creature they see as their parents. This monkey will not think that we are its father." Mother?"
"The imprinting effect usually occurs in newborn ducklings. I haven't heard that monkeys also pay attention to this..."
Lin Xuan smiled: "Besides, this stone monkey was born from the aura of heaven and earth, and is probably much smarter than you."
"Huh! That's not necessarily the case!"
Huang Rong rolled her eyes and turned to look at Stone Monkey: "Little Monkey Ji, can you speak?"
Stone Monkey blinked, rolled his eyes and turned away, imitating Huang Rong.
"It's quite similar to what I learned..."
Huang Rong was a little helpless: "Brother Lin, what should we do? We can't learn monkey language here, can we?"
"It's not like..., that talisman contains the earth essence of Queen Houtu. Since the stone monkey has absorbed it, it has become spiritually self-contained."
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Stone Monkey, if you want to learn to speak, it will take you several months. Now that time is running out, I would like to teach you the method of transmitting thoughts from heart to heart. Please take note of it..."
"Squeak!"
***
Penglai Island
"The essence of heaven and earth turned into a stone monkey and was born in response to the calamity. It is not unusual at all."
"But...why was this monkey born a full thousand years earlier than I originally estimated?"
A young Taoist in his early thirties, wearing a Taoist robe, frowned and looked into the depths of the East China Sea with extremely penetrating eyes.
The temperament of youth is vast, not as unattainable as mountains and cliffs, but as boundless and unpredictable as the sea.
"Heaven's heart is unpredictable, and the same is true for things in the human world..."
After a long time, the young Taoist shook his head: "It's not appropriate. Just now, the golden flames shot into Dou Mansion. I think there is a spiritual creature appearing in the depths of the East China Sea. You pass on my decree and order Duobao to go to investigate the cause and effect of the matter, and by the way, bring that Bring the spirit creature to see me.”
"You should not take orders!"
A cold and melodious female voice sounded, and a woman with auspicious colors, a crown of clouds on her head, and her temples neatly combed appeared in front of the young Taoist.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Master, just now a woman broke into Biyou Palace, and Senior Sister Gui Ling lost a fight with her. When the disciple came, Senior Brother Duobao personally took action to meet the enemy, and asked Master Show me."
"Is there such a thing?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the young Taoist's eyes: "Come with me and have a look."
"yes!"
