I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 499: Fetching the Lantern from the West

The Jingchu area on earth has hundreds of thousands of mountains and a changeable climate, which is known as the weather being different every ten miles.

The sun was still shining brightly on the hillside over there, but after passing through a jungle a little, it started to rain heavily, and further away, there was thick fog again.

Thunder and lightning, rolling dark clouds, and the blue sky and white clouds and refreshing scenery can be seen almost at the same time.

But today, the sky above the Ten Thousand Mountains is filled with golden clouds, the sound of heavenly drums, and the sound of horns can be heard in the distance.

The celestial net is hung high in the sky to prevent any methods of hiding from the clouds.

The ground network penetrates underground to prevent any underground escape.

On the Motian Cliff, in front of the Ziyun Cave, a red-haired boy who looked only four or five years old was holding a golden spear with a red tassel and glaring at the sky.

The child had very cute facial features, delicate skin and tender flesh. He wore a red bellyband, a small tutu with a colorful belt, and gold bracelets on his hands and feet, which made him look even more smart and strong.

But his red hair was as fierce as fire, and he was furious, with a gnashing-teeth expression on his face, which made him look even more ferocious.

"The Four Heavenly Kings!!"

The child's voice was tender but extremely high-pitched, echoing among the mountains and penetrating the clouds.

"You running dogs of the Heavenly Court are really overestimating yourselves. Do you think you can stop me with just the four of you, plus the five hundred Arhats and the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals?"

The Four Heavenly Kings on the clouds, each holding a sword, a pipa, a treasured umbrella, and a marten, smiled coldly.

"Back then, the Heavenly Court ordered your father to chop off the head of your mortal body, forcing your real body to lose its balance and be captured and sealed. Afterwards, your father was promoted to a higher position and commanded the Heavenly Soldiers for many years. Speaking of dogs, your father is a truly good dog!"

The Four Heavenly Kings laughed out loud in unison.

"It's a pity that he went insane and stole you away when the Heavenly Court wasn't prepared. You're no match for me, even a dog."

"Now only the four of us can reenact the grand occasion of that year."

Nezha sensed something was wrong and angrily asked, "You captured my father?!"

"Your father's divine power was originally given by your mother. After he escaped from heaven, he consumed a lot of it. When we surrounded him, his soul flew away. How could we catch him?"

The Four Heavenly Kings waved their hands, and two handsome young men were escorted out from the ranks of the Five Hundred Arhats behind them. They were both tied up with ropes.

The two Arhats held crescent-shaped shovels at the necks of the two young men, ready to shovel off their heads at a command.

"We arrested your two brothers."

"Hahaha, forget about how much impression you have of these two brothers. They are the children that your mother raised with untold hardships and efforts. When Li Jing went to steal you, they also put in some effort. They are also two dogs that can never be tamed!"

While the Long-browed Arhat was speaking, he threw down a precious sword. After several breaths, the sword finally fell from the sky onto the cliff and pierced into the rock with a clang.

Small cracks spread directly to the foot of the mountain.

"If you don't want your two brothers to die miserably, take this sword, cut your own tendons, and stab it into your heart!"

As Long-browed Arhat spoke, he raised his hand.

The two arhats holding the crescent-shaped shovels immediately frowned and pressed the crescent-shaped shovels on Jinzha and Muzha's necks, leaving bright red blood marks.

Nezha's teeth were chattering with a popping sound, and flickering sparks popped out of his mouth. He stared at the sky.

The red hair that flew up into the sky seemed to be wilting. One strand of the hair was blown across his eyelids by the strong wind.

The Four Heavenly Kings pointed at Nezha and laughed, "Look at him, he really looks like a...dog!!"

"Don't you have any other insults here? Or are dogs particularly unwelcome here? Why do you keep saying the word 'dog'?"

On the hill behind Nezha, a woman in orange-red robe suddenly appeared. She looked unhappy and had her hands folded across her chest.

"Since you are from Heaven, you should understand the cultivation of Heaven's immortals. Why do you speak and act like a scoundrel hated by everyone in the countryside?"

The Four Heavenly Kings were stunned and asked in surprise: "Who are you?"

Behind the woman in the orange-red robe, several other women flew over, their robes were of different colors.

One of the green-robed women said, "We are the Seven Fairies."

The Four Heavenly Kings and numerous Arhats looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Seventh Fairy, isn't that the one in charge of the Heavenly Palace's Peach Garden?"

"Yes, the land of the Peach Garden is unfamiliar with the means of killing babies. If the peaches are not planted properly, the Seven Fairies will have to do it. They are also very good at processing the souls of those babies, which can add luster to the peaches."

The eldest princess was very observant. When she heard this, her face turned pale and she said, "Using babies to grow peaches, what are you talking about?!"

The Sixth Princess's eyes showed a strange double pupil, and she said in horror: "These, these people... have all eaten babies..."

The fifth princess was the calmest: "Do you mean the Four Heavenly Kings, or do you also mean the Arhats?"

"No, it's not just the Four Heavenly Kings and the Five Hundred Arhats..."

The Sixth Princess could hardly describe the scene she saw. Her face was pale and her lips trembled as she said, "All of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals have eaten babies, many times!"

After hearing this, Changmei Luohan and others were completely confused.

"Looking at the demeanor of the seven of you, you are indeed not ordinary people."

The long-browed arhat said, "As immortals, everyone knows about cannibalism, especially the Seven Fairies, who are experts in this field. Why do you have to pretend to be so?"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt something was wrong. His limbs seemed to be out of control. He lowered his head and saw that his head had fallen off his chest.

The Four Heavenly Kings nearby could barely see a flash of fiery red light.

The long-browed arhat's limbs were suddenly broken off and his head and body were separated.

There is also a large fan-shaped area behind the Long-browed Arhat, with tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, all of whom have fiery red lines appearing on their body surfaces.

boom! ! ! !

The tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals were blown to pieces, their broken bodies turned into ashes, and the red-hot armor pieces flew everywhere, killing and injuring a large number of heavenly soldiers.

The raging fire exploded the clouds, and the golden glow was destroyed in an instant by the flames, turning it red as blood, dyeing the sky through.

When the Arhats saw the power of fire, they thought it was Nezha who did it and they all roared in anger.

The two arhats holding crescent-shaped shovels were about to kill Jinzha and Muzha on the spot. Their golden arms were as thick as buckets and their muscles bulged, but the crescent-shaped shovels could not move forward at all.

A slender woman in purple stood in front of them, with her hands apart, each holding a crescent shovel.

stretch!!

They seemed to hear the sound of the crescent shovel breaking, but the sound was so light, as if a flower or grass was pinched off.

Before they could react, the two broken crescent shovels were turned over by Su Bai's hands and cut into their chests.

"How can the Seven Fairies eat people?"

The fourth princess seemed unable to accept the reality. She covered her ears with her hands and screamed.

"We, the seven fairies, are obviously kind people, kind-hearted, delicate and beautiful."

"Ah! People who eat people don't deserve to be called the Seventh Fairy. I want to restore the reputation of the Seventh Fairy!"

Her screams transformed into slender golden dragon shadows that tore through space and crashed into the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Wherever these golden dragon shadows passed, it seemed as if they passed through the body, but the effect they caused was actually a headshot and death.

Blood-colored light mist floated everywhere, and before the golden dragon circled and disappeared, its lips would inevitably lift slightly, revealing a perfect smile.

In front of Ziyun Cave, the red-haired Nezha stared blankly at the scene of massacre in the sky.

His cultivation was not comparable to that of ordinary arhats or heavenly soldiers and generals, so he could naturally see that the fastest killing fiery red light was actually the seven long swords.

The seven swords themselves are not of the same color, but when used, they all exude a warm and pure color like fire.

However, the most powerful one was not the seven swords, but the woman in purple.

Although her punch was ordinary, with one punch, hundreds of Arhats were shattered into pieces without even having time to bleed, as if they were wiped out and turned into nothingness.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Four Heavenly Kings tried to escape, but the purple-clothed woman punched through their pearl umbrellas with three punches and broke the green sword with one punch.

The marten wanted to swallow her, but she hit its head on its front teeth, and its entire body exploded like an inflated body.

The last Heavenly King's pipa was also snatched away by the purple-clothed woman. She also grabbed a spear and used the pipa string as a bowstring, drawing the bow like a moon.

Since ancient times, practicing boxing must include practicing bow, and the power of the bow is the power of the fist.

This arrow was shot out like a sudden and powerful punch, with the power of thunder breaking through mountains and wind shaking the sea.

It directly pierced through the body of the Heavenly King and blew up the huge Dharma image that appeared behind the Heavenly King. The remaining force also blew up the precious Tianluo treasure floating in the sky.

To restore the image of the Seven Fairies, what image? Killing people can no longer make you happy. Do I have to kill the heavenly soldiers and generals to make you smile?

Nezha pursed his lips and came back to his senses. He shook his spear and a golden line appeared like a spirit snake, floating in the void and winding away.

In an instant, the other three Heavenly Kings who had lost their magic weapons were all skewered on guns and taken back.

The size of the Heavenly King shrank as the spear shortened, as if three small gourds were pierced on the red tasseled golden spear.

At this time, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals had been killed completely by the seven long swords and burned in the raging fire, leaving not even their corpses.

The seven swords returned, floating behind the second princess and spread out like a fan.

"Kid, where are the seven fairies in this world?"

The second princess turned her head to look at Nezha, veins bulging on her forehead and her voice was cold.

"I want to have a good talk with them!"

The Seventh Princess then carried Jinzha and Muzha back to the top of the mountain, and quickly said in her heart: "Second sister, please be patient, something is a little strange." "Before we came, Master clearly told us that the greatest disaster in this world is the Tianhe falling into the human world, and the Four Seas Dragon Kings who came from the three realms of stars and led countless soldiers of the Guixu Dragon Clan to cause chaos."

"The mortals have been rescued by Erlang Shen and San Sheng Mu and taken to heaven. The immortals in heaven, led by Marshal Tian Peng, are helping them resist the evil spirits."

"But in this world we have arrived, the human world has not been submerged by the flood, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are all so evil and guilty. This does not match Master's description. It is better to be cautious."

The second princess' chest heaved a few times, and she barely suppressed her anger.

Of the seven emotions, pride is the easiest to turn into anger. If she calmed herself down, the other princesses would naturally be able to do the same.

They still had contact with the Seven Emotions of Creation, so they immediately tried to contact Su Hanshan.

Nezha looked at them with a somewhat unfriendly look: "You seven, are you going to capture Jinzha and Muzha too?"

The Seventh Princess smiled slightly and threw the two people away.

The third princess couldn't help but take a few more glances at this time. In the world of the Seven Fairies, the third princess was in love with Li Tianwang's eldest son Jinzha.

But the Jin Zha in this world looks much younger, but his brows are tightly furrowed, and he looks bitter and vengeful, and his temperament is completely different from the previous world.

At this moment, Su Hanshan's mind slowly came to light.

"Strange, I sent you there following the connection between Sun Wukong and Kinnara. You should have ended up in the same world as them."

Su Hanshan calculated the traces of this world, his eyes fell on Nezha, and murderous intent was revealed in his words.

“So this is the world!”

With the experience from the world of the Seven Fairies, Su Hanshan was familiar with the calculations this time.

This world also has an existence similar to the seven emotions of creation, called "Taichu Lingyun".

Soon after the world was settled, the primordial spiritual essence gave birth to the gods. Each of them possessed great power and was immortal, so they should have no worries.

However, the primordial spirit is extremely active, allowing new species with unique powers to continuously evolve in the world.

The gods that existed earlier felt seriously threatened. They originally believed that the primordial spiritual essence would continue to flow into their bodies, continuing to support the growth of the gods and making themselves stronger and longer-lasting.

When the primordial spiritual essence evolved into other things, it seemed to them that something that should have belonged to them had been snatched away.

The gods collected things that had no intelligence and weak resistance, and when these things were divided up, they began to rob other gods of their collections.

With conflicts, there are factions, which are divided into the Eastern Gods and the Western Gods.

God is originally immortal, or it is impossible for him to begin to decay during that period of time.

However, due to excessive wars, some low- and middle-level gods found that their spiritual energy was overdrawn and became weak and powerless.

They gathered together, hoping that the leaders could share some spiritual things with them, but what happened instead was slaughter and expulsion.

Some weakened gods fled to low-lying, desolate and abandoned places. They lost their divine powers but gained another means of inheritance, allowing them to survive and reproduce in a limited time.

These weakened gods, later called the Ancestors, gave rise to countless mortal people.

The gods did not care about these mundane things at first, until the high-ranking gods discovered that they themselves were showing signs of decline.

They were too greedy and used the spiritual essence that symbolizes life for killing, causing countless spiritual essences to deteriorate in the long war.

Even those spiritual treasures they collected had lost many of their effects. Although swallowing them would give them greater killing power, it would not replenish their vitality.

Fortunately, or unfortunately.

The primordial spiritual essence is great after all. Even if the created world is polluted by the gods, the spiritual essence's instinct still has a self-purification power and a tendency to recover vitality.

However, this trend of recovery was not reflected in the gods, but rather in those humble mortals whom they did not take seriously.

At that time, the number of mortals had become huge. Their lifespan was less than a hundred years. They could not fly, burrow underground, or make mountains and rivers bow to them. Whenever there was a slight change in nature, they could only try their best to adapt.

Mortal babies born in such an environment actually contain a bit of uncorrupted spiritual energy.

Although it is extremely weak, its purity and self-purification tendency are even better than those of the fallen gods.

The gods cannot tolerate such a good self-purifying spiritual essence being wasted in the process of mortal growth.

They plundered babies and used them as supplements for themselves. They also learned some lessons from previous wars and were unwilling to easily launch large-scale battles. Instead, they kept humans in captivity.

These old guys have become outright evil gods!

But they created countless beautiful legends about God that spread among the human world, giving humans more motivation to reproduce and even gaining worship from mortals.

The death of a large number of infants was seen as the result of the infants' inherent weakness, which was supposed to be the case. The idea that the dead infants were innocent and more likely to be reborn or even ascend to heaven also became a self-comforting statement for mortals.

Only a very small number of mortals realized the truth. They used their wisdom to create a method of "killing gods".

They tried every possible means, including poisoning, ambushing, uniting, and sacrificing, just to kill the weakest god and seize his power.

The same divine power can be used in different ways of fighting in the hands of different people.

They used this to kill stronger divine soldiers and divine officials and gained more and more powerful strength. Their physical appearance also became more and more different from that of ordinary people, and they were called "monsters"!
Unfortunately, the monsters are also greedy. After gaining divine power, some monsters began to eat humans. Some monsters wanted to take revenge on the gods, but were killed, suppressed, and tamed by the gods.

Red-haired Nezha is a demigod born in such a world.

His mother was a deity, the Goddess of Good Fortune. Because she seldom took part in battles among the gods, her spiritual essence had hardly changed.

But when the Goddess of Good Fortune fell in love with a mortal and lived in the mortal world, the remaining pain of countless babies in the human race throughout the ages gathered in her body.

If it were an ordinary god, he would have fought back and evaded at this time. However, after giving birth to two children, the Goddess of Good Fortune understood the babies’ pain, took on their cries, and gave birth to a third child.

That is Nezha.

It has the spiritual essence of the Goddess of Good Fortune, which has not been corrupted, and also has the spiritual essence of an infant, which is full of pain but can still purify itself.

He became a being that was difficult for the gods to kill, or that the gods were reluctant to kill.

Both the East Heaven and the West Heaven named him a great god or a prince. They wanted to understand the form of his power, but were also afraid of his growth and revenge.

Therefore, they used an ancient lotus pond to coexist with him, sealed his body, and directed his power to the lotus root, creating a large number of puppets.

Until a hundred years ago, all gods and demons received teachings from Master Tongtian in their dreams.

The primordial spirit brought so many gifts to the gods of this world that it gave rise to a large number of beasts with narrow vision and even narrower minds.

They realized it for the first time after witnessing the secret magic of the evil stars.

It turns out that in addition to spiritual energy, which is something that is naturally endowed with extraordinary vitality, there is actually a path of cultivation that can transform ordinary natural forces, or even the violent and harsh energy of the stars, into one's own vitality.

In any other ordinary world, even a fourth-rank warrior, or even a researcher lower than the fourth rank, should understand this principle and be excited about it and study it in depth.

These evil gods who have enjoyed too much have never been willing to put any thought into those aspects throughout the ages.

But Master Tongtian’s secret method was indeed too miraculous, so after they obtained it, they couldn’t help but go into seclusion.

Li Jing, who was separated from his wife and children and endured humiliation to sneak into the heaven, finally found an opportunity and rescued Nezha's real body in one fell swoop.

Not long ago, Li Jing let Nezha's real body recuperate here, and he took Jinzha and Muzha to contact the allies who had ambushed him in earlier years.

"The Li Tianwang of this world is actually such a person. He is such a good man."

The Seventh Princess felt the calculation results that Su Hanshan shared with them and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Li Tianwang's soul has been scattered."

She couldn't help but look at Nezha.

Nezha's eyes were slightly red, but he did not cry. Instead, he stared at the three heavenly kings strung on his gun.

The cultivation of the three heavenly kings was refined, emitting red streaks that merged into the gun bodies, and they screamed in agony.

"Over the years, the gods of the East and West Heavens have been busy in seclusion and have no time to care about us. Why are they suddenly making such a big fuss and sending you to take action?!"

Nezha scolded, "Tell me, what's going on!"

The Four Heavenly Kings of this world were not mortals who had cultivated into immortals, but natural gods. They had never suffered much and could not stand this kind of torture at all. The three kings rushed to confess.

"Not long ago, a general from the Dragon Palace sent a message to the East and West Heavens respectively, instructing us to arrest the two anomalies in the world as soon as possible and escort them to the West Heaven to retrieve the lantern."

There are two anomalies in this world, one is Nezha with fiery red hair, and the other is a monkey with black and red fur.

The monkey had an extraordinary origin, being a piece of spirit stone immortal fetus that had been formed at the time of the primordial creation. It possessed a strong primordial spiritual essence, but its shell was very ordinary, and the gods did not discover its existence.

If the world evolves normally, a great god should be born in the stone after a long time. However, the actions of the gods caused the spiritual essence to deteriorate and the aura between heaven and earth to change abnormally.

As a result, the immortal fetus of the spirit stone, as soon as it was born into the world, was filled with enormous anger. It was unruly and refused to be bullied by the gods.

Unfortunately, he was no match for those evil gods. Eight hundred years ago, he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed. Three hundred years ago, he teamed up with Jin Chanzi to go to the West to cause trouble, but was suppressed again and has been missing since then.

"I thought the monkey had been caught by you guys a long time ago."

Nezha muttered to himself, the spear in his hand trembling, "What is the origin of the Dragon Palace General? With such a status, he must not be those old loaches I know."

"Also, what kind of lamp do you want to take from the west?"

The three Heavenly Kings said quickly: "We didn't ask too many questions, and we don't know what the so-called taking the lamp is all about."

"But we know that the Western Paradise where we get the lamp is not the Western Pure Land, but a place farther away than the Western Paradise!"

Su Hanshan's calculations had reached this point.

"It turns out I was not sending you to the wrong place. You are now in the same realm as Kinnara and the others."

"Because this world is adjacent to the world that Kinnara and the others went to."
