Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1566 The sky is boundless
All the decorations in the main hall are dominated by red.Civil and military officials stood on both sides, all dressed in red.

It seems that the worship of fire here is extraordinary, and everything is red.

This suits Ji Xiaoxiao's taste, and she also prefers red clothes. At this time, she also has a red cloak draped behind her, looking heroic and elegant.

On the throne of the main hall, an old man with a red face stood up and smiled at Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao.

The old man was of medium build, far less burly than Gonggong.But the old man looked very majestic, and as he exhaled, there seemed to be a faint fire flashing in his mouth and nose.

"Ding Ermiao, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, Maoshan, and his wife Ji Xiaoxiao, met the Red Emperor Tianzun." Ding Ermiao slowly stepped forward and bowed his head in salute.

"Maoshan disciple? So, the human world comes from the lower realm?" Zhu Rong walked down the hall with a happy face, stopped in front of Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao, and asked: "Is the lower realm okay?"

"Let's be safe together." Ding Ermiao was a little surprised and asked: "The emperor doesn't know the feelings of the lower world?"

Zhu Rong shook his head and said: "There is no communication between the lower realm and Taiming Yuwantian under my jurisdiction. And Huang Zengtian, the emperor who guards Gonggong, has not reported to me for many years, so I really don't know the feelings of the lower realm."

"That's it." Ding Ermiao nodded slightly.

"I have been missing this person for thousands of years. I feel happy to see these two Taoist friends today." Zhu Rong smiled and said, "Come here, let's have a banquet at Huoyun Pavilion."

It's really nice that there is a banquet.Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and thanked them.

As its name suggests, Huoyun Pavilion is surrounded by red clouds, which are dazzling and dazzling.

There were various dishes and fine wines arranged in rows. Ding Ermiao, his wife and Zhu Rong went to their own places and sat down separately for guest and host.Xiao Tianlong, the general who patrolled the sky, accompanied him, and the goddess held the pot.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhu Rong asked: "Two fellow Taoists, why are you here?"

"Looking for my master's soul and an old friend." Seeing Zhu Rong's kindness, Ding Ermiao didn't hide anything, and roughly told the story about Qiu Sanpou and Gu Qinglan.

Zhu Rong looked at Xiao Tianlong and asked, "Did you ever see the souls of these two people when you were patrolling the sky?"

"Nothing." Xiao Tianlong shook his head without hesitation.

Ding Ermiao felt sad and unhappy.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, if you don't believe me, you can patrol my heaven domain with the general who patrols the sky." Zhu Rong said.

"No, no, Emperor Zun will not deceive me." Ding Ermiao smiled bitterly, raised his wine glass, and said, "I just miss my master and friends, so I am depressed."

Zhu Rong and Ding Ermiao drank a drink, and then said: "To be honest, in my opinion, the souls of Master Ling and others are not within the six days of the desire realm."

"Six days in the realm of desire?" Ji Xiaoxiao was puzzled and asked, "What's the explanation for these six days?"

"So you don't know much about it? Well, listen to me." Zhu Rong smiled, pointed in all directions, and said:

"The six heavens of the Desire Realm are tangible and colored heavens, roughly similar to the human world. Men and women have food and drink, yin and yang marry, and people give birth to offspring. But here, regardless of humans or animals, the reincarnation of souls must also go through the Netherworld Path. Let's be clear. , this is not a place where souls are left. On the contrary, the characters here came to the world and were sent from the Netherworld."

Ding Ermiao held the wine glass and murmured: "It turns out that the power of Netherworld Dao is so great. What is hateful is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who still refuses to reveal the place where my master was betrothed."

"Emperor, in your opinion, where should their souls be?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"The sky is infinitely high and boundless. It's really hard to speculate." Zhu Rong frowned and said, "Perhaps, the most likely place is the eight heavens in the upper realm outside the three realms."

"How can I enter the upper realm for eight days? Please teach me, Emperor Zun." Ding Ermiao said hurriedly.

Zhu Rong smiled bitterly and said: "With my humble status, how can I know the way to heaven? It has been hundreds of years since I last ascended to heaven. That was also someone from the Lingxiao Palace who sent people to guide me."

Ding Ermiao suddenly felt disappointed. In this way, Zhu Rong could not transcend his level and go to heaven.

"But you two don't have to be discouraged. If you can wait, I can report to the Lingxiao Palace and ask the heavens for a thorough investigation. If the Jade Emperor is merciful, then this matter will be settled." Zhu Rong said.

"I'm very grateful. May I ask, Emperor, how many days will it take for a reply from Lingxiao Palace?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Zhu Rong thought for a while, and said: "The shortest is seven days, and the longest is half a month. Whether it is accurate or not, there will be an answer."

"Ten days and a half, we can still wait." Ji Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Heavenly Lord, please report to Lingxiao Palace immediately."

Ding Ermiao also nodded with gratitude.

"No need to thank you. I can help with this matter, but success or failure depends on God's will." Zhu Rong smiled and said: "God's grace is indeed great, but God's will is unpredictable. Don't have too much hope. "

"Understood, no matter whether it succeeds or not, we are all grateful and will bear it in our hearts." Ding Ermiao stood up and bowed his head.

Zhu Rong also stood up and returned the gift, saying: "After the banquet, I will place the incense table in front of the Jade Emperor's stage in Lingxiao Palace."

Ding Ermiao felt happy and drank happily.

After drinking and eating, Zhu Rong got up and took Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao to the altar outside the city.

There were already deacons who had prepared incense tables, paper and pens.

Zhu Rong changed his clothes on the spot, burned incense and purified his hands. After three bows, he wrote a letter.

After a while, the memorial was finished. Zhu Rong prayed again and again, presented the memorial in front of the case, and bowed to the sky.

After the ceremony, Zhu Rong ordered people to remove the altar, turned to Ding Ermiao and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, stay here in peace and wait for God's will to come."

Ding Ermiao thanked him again and again, and returned to the royal city with Zhu Rong.

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly said: "Er Miao, I feel something is wrong,"

"What's wrong?" Ding Ermiao was stunned and asked.

"The time is wrong." Ji Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky and said, "We came to the heaven, and on Gonggong's territory, it was the scene in the morning. From Gonggong's territory to Taiming Yuwantian, we passed through such It’s troublesome, why is it still morning?”

"Yes, the days here seem to be very long." Ding Ermiao reacted and hurriedly asked Zhu Rong for advice, "Excuse me, Emperor, how long is a day and night here?"

Emperor Zun also slapped his head and said: "I forgot to tell you that people here live very long, and the time of a day and night is also very long, which is completely different from the world."

"So, how long is it?" Ding Ermiao was stunned.

Zhu Rong smiled and said: "The lifespan of people in Gonggong is 500 years, but they are calculated based on 1000 years in the human world as one day; here, the life span of people here is a thousand years, and [-] years in the human world is calculated as one day. calculate……"

Bang, Ding Ermiao fell to the ground, whining incessantly.

1000 years are one day, so Zhu Rong's memorial will not be heard until at least 7000 years later!
