Chapter 164: Ascension to Immortals(1/2)
(It takes hundreds of years to cultivate the Tao of Trance, but once you are on the same level, you will be able to wait for the blue clouds)
Du Kang patted his butt and stood up, only to see Lan Feng staring blankly at the flowers beside him.
He smiled and put his hand on Lanfeng's shoulder and said, "Why, have you never seen these morning and evening flowers? These flowers withered every day, and the shadow of the heavy building blocked the light, making this patch of flowers always think they were at night.
So when they see the light, they immediately wither and bloom again."
"Chao Xi?" Lan Feng whispered.
Du Kang poured the wine into the gourd and said: "In ancient times, there was a pair of lovers with paper and pen, which separated the two places.
During this period, there were endless letters in Yushu, which lasted for hundreds of years. As a result, the two did not get married.
It's a pity that we didn't get to meet them until their death."
Lan Feng was puzzled: "Even though we are thousands of miles apart, we can still see each other in ten years. Why don't these two people see each other?"
Du Kang saw that not a drop of wine could be poured out of the wine gourd, so he simply sat down.
He said: "Young people, you always think that if you love someone, you have to be with them.
However, have you ever thought about whether he will still be the same person you love after you are really together?
You love him, but you just imagine him to be the perfect person in your heart.
Just like the moonlight in the sky, pure and flawless.
However, these two people have never met, and many years of correspondence have perfectly mapped out each other's voices, looks, personalities, and temperaments.
In this case, it is better not to see each other than not to meet..."
Lan Feng seemed to have some realization: "Then this flower..."
"It's a pity that both of them were selected to become immortals, but they met in Yingzhou.
This flower was planted by them together. The man sowed it and the woman watered it. The day when the flower bloomed was also the time when the two of them parted. This flower also represented what they were thinking.
If we meet again one day, we should be like this morning and evening flower. What we see today, we should forget to see again tomorrow, so as to preserve the heart of the first meeting."
Lan Feng frowned: "According to what you said, this flower blooms once a day. Then it will still bloom tomorrow."
When Du Kang heard this, he hit Lan Feng on the head with the wine gourd: "Confused! Although flowers bloom every day, are the flowers that bloom today the same as yesterday?!"
Lan Feng was stunned. He seemed unable to fully understand this level.
"Okay, let's get the things and prepare to call to the Immortal Platform!" Du Kang straightened up, and the dancer, the wine gourd, began to perform the exercises.
Only then did Lan Feng see from a distance that the wine gourd dug out by Du Kang had the word "call" engraved on it and was glowing slightly.
"My name is Du Kang, and I am calling the gods to summon you to become immortals!"
As soon as the sound fell, the word "Zhao" on the wine gourd suddenly lit up with a white light. However, after a while, there was no movement at all around.
There was neither a teleportation formation nor a way for the heavenly soldiers to descend. Lan Feng and Du Kang just stood there and stared at the wine gourd...
"My name is Du Kang, and I am sending this order to the gods, please summon the immortal! Please summon the immortal!!"
Du Kang was a little anxious. He was afraid that he had been drunk by the Yuxi River for a thousand years, and the heavenly soldiers above were impatient to wait and crossed out his name...
Their eyes met, and Lan Feng also expressed that he was helpless. He said: "Old senior, you are not good at this gourd. Your superiors don't recognize you."
After hearing this, Du Kang puffed on his beard and said, "How is that possible! When I first arrived in Yingzhou, the gatekeeper asked me to take out the magic weapon and wrote the word "call" on it with a pen.
He said that if the word "summon" appears in the future, if he recites this mantra, the heaven will lower the Immortal Platform to carry me to heaven! How can this, this, this... be false?!"
Lan Feng secretly smiled, regardless of whether the magic weapon was real or not. He got the words out of this old boy's mouth in advance, so that he could have a complete explanation when the time came.
After all, I don’t have a magic weapon with the word “call” engraved on it.
Just when Du Kang began to suspect that his gourd had been tampered with, the two of them saw a pillar of light piercing the sea-blue light above their heads.
This ray of light penetrated from the dome, covering Lan Feng and the two of them head-on.
The light is divided into eight directions and gathered into the Eight Diagrams. The universe and the earth are separated from each other, and the clouds and waves are shaking.
There are yin and yang in it, gathering energy and not dissipating, attracting four golden threads, yellow dragons and jade, and splicing them together to form a three-foot-long round platform!
Immediately afterwards, three heavenly soldiers descended from the sky, all wearing bright silver helmets, silver armor, and white robes.
One person in the middle holds a three-foot tiger-headed bronze whip, and the remaining two each hold a halberd.
The whip-holder said: "Please tell me your name, immortal."
Du Kang said: "My surname is Du, my name is Kang, my name is Jiu Sheng."
The person holding the whip said again: "Show the calligraphy instrument."
Du Kang took out the wine gourd and handed it to the whip holder. The whip holder glanced at it, returned the gourd to Du Kang and said: "Come up..."
He turned to Lan Feng and said, "You have the same name and magical weapon as him."
Lan Feng said: "Boy Lan Feng, there is no magic weapon..."
"Bastard!" the whip wielder yelled: "How can there be an immortal cultivator who doesn't have a weapon? If he doesn't have a weapon, how can he summon the Immortal Platform?!"
Lan Feng said quickly: "Shangxian Mingjian, I was originally the civil and military fire in Laojun's elixir furnace. Thousands of years ago, Qi Tian caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace and kicked me down to the lower realm.
It took me thousands of years of cultivation at the Flame Mountain to gather this furnace soul body.
When we arrived at Yingzhou, we saw that the place was completely deserted. Only the Wine Saint Du Kang was still there, so we borrowed his summoning weapon to summon him to the Immortal Platform.
If you three don’t believe it, look at this…”
As he spoke, Lanfeng snapped his fingers and lit the civil and military flames on his fingertips.
The civil and military fire appeared, instantly raising the surrounding temperature. Seeing this, the whip wielder frowned and said, "Wait a minute."
After saying that, he turned to the two halberd holders and said, "How do you say that?"
A halberd holder said: "I'm afraid this kid is not here to fish in troubled waters. Laojun's Bagua furnace was kicked partially into the lower world, but I have never heard of any furnace soul."
Another halberd holder said: "Hey, since this kid can enter Yingzhou, it means that he has been recognized by the Ni Bodhisattva and has reached the point of becoming an immortal, and he is not an evil person. Sooner or later, he will also go to the Immortal Platform.
Moreover, after the end of the journey to the west, no immortal cultivators have entered Yingzhou for many years.
If he is really Laojun's Alchemy Furnace Soul, we have gained a favor. After all, Laojun is one of the Three Pure Ones, and he is much more noble than us.
To say the least, even if he is not a furnace soul, we have nothing to lose..."
As soon as these words came out, the whip holder also nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth. That's all, since everyone has arrived at Yingzhou, let him go up together."
The one holding the whip cleared his throat and said to Lan Feng and the others: "God's grace is so great that he has ascended to the Immortal Platform here to carry you two to heaven.
You, please follow the footsteps of the three of me and go to the South Tiantai to collect the soul. During the flight to the Immortal Platform, you will see your past and present lives.
If you still have nostalgia, you should end it by yourself before falling to the Immortal Platform.
After receiving the soul, if you want to turn back, it will be considered a violation of heaven's rules.
As for the outcome, I will tell you in detail slowly."
Lan Feng and the other two nodded and followed the three heavenly soldiers to the Immortal Ascension Platform.
The whip holder knocked the tiger-head copper whip on the table and shouted "Get up!" The Immortal Platform slowly rotated up in the columnar ring of light.
Lift.
Strange to say, after the Immortal Immortal Platform was in the sky, Lan Feng and the two could no longer see the scenery outside the Immortal Immortal Platform. Only the blinding white light blocked their eyes.
Halfway through the journey, Na Du Kang suddenly looked at the white light in the distance and burst out laughing. Lan Feng was afraid that something had changed in him, so he stepped forward to ask.
Unexpectedly, this guy just pointed at the white light and smiled. He saw himself in the white light and accidentally fell into a tree hole filled with food.
There are forgotten rice and barley stored in the tree hole, which have accumulated over time and turned into distiller's grains.
It was here that Du Kang discovered the world's first glass of wine...
It's just that Lan Feng heard what he was saying was strange, but what he saw was still a vast white light.
Everyone is different, and there are millions of paths to take. Only the end is inevitable for all mortals.
Because of this, there is reincarnation and immortality.
Lan Feng was on the Immortal Platform this time, listening to Du Kang telling his past events. This was actually considered as participating in the life of this wine saint.
"Little brother Lanfeng, just what I'm talking about, as the furnace soul of the Old Lord's Pill Furnace, you must have seen much more exciting things than me. Why don't you two relieve your fatigue with me?" Du Kang said.
When Lanfeng heard this, he turned around and saw the three heavenly soldiers standing aside, paying no attention to them.
He then said, "What's there to say? Fire creates the world, and is trapped in the furnace. I stay with those golden elixirs all day long. In the blink of an eye, it lasts for a thousand years."
Du Kang said: "Then why do you still want to go back?"
Lan Feng sighed: "It's a pity that after I went down to the realm, I destroyed hundreds of miles of green mountains and green waters, and everything I passed was turned into ashes.
There is really no place for me in this world.
Instead of poisoning all living beings in the world, it is better to return to the furnace and purify yourself."
Du Kang said: "I didn't expect that Laojun's soul in the furnace can still have such a heart. He is willing to give up his freedom and bring peace to the world. Yes, yes..."
The two were chatting here, but the three heavenly soldiers on the other side moved.
The three of them spread out and stood at the triangle of the Immortal Platform. The two halberd holders stood on the Immortal Platform, clasped the halberd pole with both hands, and drew up and down with their left and right hands. Only then did they see two feet of red flags growing horizontally under the halberd blade.
