I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 135: Yao Chi Jin Mu, Xiao Xiao's mother

The young Taoist stood behind the middle-aged Taoist and spoke loudly.

With a choking cough, the middle-aged Taoist glanced at the reckless man with a reproachful look:
"How can you be so vulgar?"

Zhou Mu's mouth twitched and he felt a little toothache - it was you who tricked me!
However, the Emperor of Heaven, who was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, on the imperial throne, had no change in expression and remained calm.

The destruction of the worlds flashed through his eyes, his divine robe trembled slightly, and he stared at the "young Taoist" quietly.
It seemed as if it wanted to see through the light of the illusory green lamp and the cover of the auspicious clouds and see its true face.

A long time passed.

When the Emperor of Heaven spoke, his voice was like a million bells being struck at the same time, shaking the entire Lingxiao Palace and the entire Yuxu Palace.

"Interesting little fellow, where do you come from and where are you going?"

The Emperor of Heaven gazed at the 'young Taoist', but due to the Yuanshi Qingyun and the green lamp blocking his view, he could not see through him, nor his past, present and future.

He then said:
"Yuanshi, is this the one you left behind? Is his true body at the end of the era [now]?"

"Interesting. I knew you couldn't stand loneliness."

The Emperor lowered his eyelids:

"I will find him."

The hairs on Zhou Mu's body suddenly stood up and the back of his head felt numb, but he still refused to give in and glared at the Emperor of Heaven fiercely.

The middle-aged Taoist's expression returned to calm, and he squinted his eyes:
"Oh? It seems that Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor has indeed begun to interfere in the universe? Interesting, how did you manage to get your thoughts out of the suppression?"

Zhou Mu's heart moved - the Emperor of Heaven was being suppressed?
He wasn't that scared anymore.

But there are still many mysteries. Why did the legendary Lingbao Tianzun convey the message to Yuanshi Tianzun himself?

What is going on with the Emperor of Heaven?

Just as Zhou Mu was thinking about this,
The Emperor of Heaven smiled sarcastically and stared at the middle-aged Taoist:

"you guess?"

The middle-aged Taoist pondered, gently stroked the jade ruyi, and glanced sideways at the solemn Buddha.

The latter also had a smiling look on his face, looking calm and composed.

For a moment, the huge Yuxu Palace and the vast heavenly palace within the Yuxu Palace, which was countless times larger than the Yuxu Palace, were all silent.

The Supremes remain silent.

Time passed by little by little, the stalemate continued, and I didn't know how much time had passed.

Or a day, or a month, or even longer.

Zhou Mu began to feel uncomfortable all over. It was just a trace of true thought. He couldn't practice and was bored.
He looked around, his eyes fixed on the dim green lamp.

He quietly reached out his hand again, trying to grab a wisp of the auspicious cloud under the middle-aged Taoist's butt.

Within the auspicious clouds, there are endless living beings, the sun and the moon are shining everywhere, seventy-two colors of light color the heavens, and sixty-four immortal music resounds throughout the world.

Zhou Mu tried to catch a wisp of cloud, but just as he grasped it in his palm, the cloud slipped out from between his fingers.

He didn't believe it, so he squeezed again, and the clouds continued to flow out. He continued to squeeze, and the clouds continued to flow out.

Zhou Mu got serious about it. The Yin and Yang energies densely filled his palms. He visualized the magnificent scene of [Heaven and Earth falling down]. All the internal orifices in his body moved together. He could see clearly the cause and effect with his eyes, and suddenly he grabbed it!
‘Boom! ! ’

He grabbed nothing, but there was a loud noise when he clenched his fist.

The three supreme beings either turned their heads or glanced to the side, all staring at Zhou Mu silently.

The latter shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly:
"You continue, you continue"

The middle-aged Taoist laughed, and the Emperor of Heaven snorted:
"There are countless impolitenesses and no rules."

Zhou Mu glanced at the Emperor of Heaven, gritted his teeth, and waited for himself to find the Lingxiao Palace.
He memorized the appearance of the Emperor of Heaven deeply in his mind.

The Emperor of Heaven did not want to continue the stalemate at this moment, and was too lazy to say anything. He just moved his mind, and the boundless sky floating in the Jade Void Palace became slightly blurred. The middle-aged Taoist raised his eyelids:
"Leave without telling me."

The middle-aged Taoist said calmly:
"There are countless impolitenesses and no rules."

He gently tapped the Jade Ruyi in his hand forward, and the Emperor of Heaven suddenly stood up, clenched his fist, and struck back!

The fist and the jade ruyi collided.

Zhou Mu only saw a vast expanse of white light.

Wait until the light fades.

The vast heaven disappeared, the solemn Buddha shook his head and sighed, there seemed to be cracks on several large pillars in the Yuxu Palace, and the Yuhuan essence dimmed slightly.

The middle-aged Taoist reached out his hand and gently wiped the dark blood stain on the jade ruyi. Zhou Mu swore that the blood stain was clearly freshly stained.
But it looked as if it had existed for countless years. It was extremely black, without any precious light or brilliant clouds. It looked like a ball of old blood.

But in this black blood, one seems to be able to see a rolling [black tide].

"This"

The middle-aged Taoist stared at the dark bloodstains on the jade ruyi that could not be wiped off, frowned slightly, and his expression gradually became solemn. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

I don't know when that majestic Buddha left.

Another long time.

The middle-aged Taoist put away the jade ruyi and looked sideways at the 'young Taoist':
"You are quite courageous, little fellow."

Zhou Mu was silent for a moment, but couldn't help himself:
"Weren't you trying to trick me just now?"

"I was just speaking the truth. Who would have thought you would be so vulgar?"

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head:

"No matter how dangerous our fights were, no matter how costly they were, we never used foul language like you did - even for Brother Jade Emperor, I'm afraid this is the first time in his life that he has been treated like this."

"This way, He will truly remember you."

Zhou Mu felt his tooth aching again. After thinking for a while, he bravely asked:

"Senior, was that person suppressed by you in the past?"

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head slightly:

"It was repression in all the past."

Zhou Mu was stunned, and his imagination ran wild.

"Okay, can my Yuxu Palace compare to the Tushita Palace?" "Uh, I can't say."

"Oh?"

"Nothing can be moved." Zhou Mu said honestly: "In this respect, it is not as good as Tushita Palace."

The middle-aged Taoist fell silent and lost in thought.

He didn't know what to say.

"Can we still go shopping?" Zhou Mu asked cautiously.

The middle-aged Taoist raised his head and looked at him deeply:
"If you want to walk, then go ahead."

He took Zhou Mu's hand again and led him out of the Taoist palace. As soon as he went out, Zhou Mu saw the six or seven majestic creatures he had just seen waiting outside the door.

Seeing the two men coming out of the palace gate, they all bowed:

"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Uncle Shangqing."

The middle-aged Taoist nodded slightly, and did not introduce anything to Zhou Mu. He just took him to continue to tour the Yuxu Palace - this Taoist palace stood on a mountain. There was not only a Taoist palace on the mountain, and the Yuxu Palace was not just a Taoist palace.

It was dazzling all the way.

A beautiful fairy, a solemn golden boy, a jade bridge, and a pond full of lotus flowers.

Zhou Mu was overwhelmed by the sight, especially when he passed by the lotus pond, he stretched his neck to look.

He saw that each lotus flower had twelve layers of lotus leaves, with fairy light flowing on the leaves, and an even brighter light reaching into the sky from the lotus roots!
If I could catch one,
Zhou Mu was ready to make a move, but found that he could not break free from the middle-aged Taoist's hand.

He suspected that the middle-aged Taoist priest held him back because of this.
After circling most of the mountain top, the other half of the mountain top was shrouded in mist, so the middle-aged Taoist deliberately avoided it.

Zhou Mu was curious:

"Senior, why don't you go there?"

"That is not my Yuxu Palace." The middle-aged Taoist said calmly, "That is the residence of Taoist friend Jinmu."

"Golden Mother?"

Zhou Mu's heart moved. Could it be the Queen Mother of the West?

In mythology, the residence of the Queen Mother of the West is also in Kunlun.

He asked curiously:
"Is it the Queen Mother of the West?"

"Of course."

"Senior, I have heard that the Queen Mother of the West is half human and half beast, with a ferocious appearance, and in charge of plague and execution. I have also heard that she is the leader of all female fairies, and that she is the goddess who nurtures all things - which one is it?"

The middle-aged Taoist glanced at Zhou Mu:
"In the First Era, Fellow Daoist Jinmu had not yet attained enlightenment, and was just as you said, half human, half beast, in charge of plague and killing. At the end of the Second Era and the beginning of this Era, Fellow Daoist Jinmu attained enlightenment and became the leader of all female immortals, as..."

He smiled:

"As for the God of Creation who nurtured all things, we will have to wait until someday in the future when fellow Daoist Jinmu attains the Tao."

Zhou Mu was thoughtful. The myths and legends of his previous life were very confusing. Now he was sure about the legend of the Queen Mother of the West.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, I'm afraid it's not good to talk about it behind your back, right?"

Suddenly, a teasing female voice with a smile sounded, and in the hazy fog on the other side of the mountain, a figure loomed.
Then the fog dissipated a little, and a solemn woman walked out accompanied by a phoenix. The two walked side by side, without distinction of height or front or back.

Zhou Mu shuddered violently - not because of the solemn woman, but because of the phoenix - he had seen it before, in his own bloodline inheritance!

My sister’s biological mother!
My own half-godmother?

Zhou Mu felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"It's not really talking behind someone's back." The middle-aged Taoist smiled and said, "I'm just helping a young friend to clear up his confusion."

The solemn woman and the phoenix bowed to the middle-aged Taoist priest, then glanced at Zhou Mu curiously.
The former laughed and said:
"I was discussing Dao with Taoist phoenix, but I heard Taoist Yuanshi talking and saw some small movements."

Zu Fenghuang bowed again:
"Meet Senior Yuqing."

And the solemn woman continued:

"But I would like to ask, who is this courageous young man?"

Zu Fenghuang cast a curious look at her. Obviously, she and the solemn woman had both seen through some of the little movements just now.

I also heard those two vulgar scoldings.

The middle-aged Taoist smiled:

"He is my little friend - but he is also a descendant of Phoenix. We can talk about each other on our own."

"My descendants?"

Phoenix was surprised, and looked carefully at the brave warrior who had the face of Senior Shangqing and had just scolded the deposed emperor, with a strange look on his face for a moment.

Could it be a little phoenix from many generations ago?
A smile appeared on her face. The vulgar words of this unknown person could be regarded as the "father" of the deposed emperor. Hmm.
Zu Fenghuang's smile widened.

She not only asked:
"Yes, Phoenix?"

With the protection of a middle-aged Taoist priest, he couldn't see clearly, and naturally couldn't sense whether they were related by blood.

The middle-aged Taoist thought for a moment and nodded:

"It counts."

The Golden Mother was surprised, Zu Fenghuang smiled, and Zhou Mu bowed obediently:
"I've met two seniors."

Zu Fenghuang stared at Zhou Mu's Shangqing face and became more and more pleased the more he looked - he scolded the deposed emperor, but he was still his own descendant, good, good, good.

She said:

"Since you are my junior, and now you are able to see me thanks to Senior Yuanshi's kindness, I should show my respect to you."

The Ancestral Phoenix had a thought and opened its mouth slightly. A drop of blood surrounded by yin and yang, five colors, five auras, and five lights floated out and landed in front of Zhou Mu.

"Why don't you take it?" The middle-aged Taoist smiled and said, "A drop of blood essence from the phoenix can refine your meager blood."

Zhou Mu hurriedly thanked him respectfully, and carefully used his hands to use the drop of blood essence with five colors, five qi and five lights.
But as soon as he held it, the blood and essence disappeared, and no one knew where it went.

"Since Fellow Daoist Fenghuang has seen this gift, I cannot pretend I didn't see it."

"You should also give a greeting gift."

The Golden Mother smiled and said so.
