Chapter 77: The Birth of the God Cauldron
In Yanding Mansion, there is a building that looks like a Taoist temple and an official office.
This is Si Tianjian's official office in Yanding Mansion. This institution used by the Zhou Dynasty to manage astronomical divination, religious personnel, deities and gods, etc. seems to be inconspicuous and does not have much power.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a place for recording horoscopes, issuing ultimatums, and managing secular beliefs. It has nothing to do with ordinary people.
However, in the eyes of ordinary Buddhists, temples and gods, this Si Tianjian is very powerful. Everything they have is under their control, and the people who come out can torture them to death.
Not to mention that although the Zhou Dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago, Si Tianjian has been passed down for several dynasties and hides many secrets.
At this moment, in this official office, the Taoist priests in the main hall are busy transcribing various scriptures. The Taoist priests in the left room are sorting and collecting various rare medicinal materials.
The workshop of things.
At the end, there are older Taoist priests teaching some young Taoist boys how to practice martial arts and meditate.
The Taoist robes they wear are light-colored and the style is somewhat similar to official robes. The crowns and scarves they wear on their heads are much more solemn than the common ones.
At this moment, a voice like Hong Zhongdalu suddenly came from the distance, and the first person to be alarmed was the Taoist in the Si Tianjian Office.
"The sound of the tripod and chime can be heard in all directions, hundreds of miles away."
A few veterans with whisks rushed out in a hurry, jumped to the roof in a few moments, occupied several important positions, and looked in all directions.
In the end, the direction of the sound was determined.
"Could this be the birth of the Kunlun Divine Cauldron?" One of the Taoist priests with a full beard stared at him and thought of something.
Although he said this, there was some disbelief in his words.
"Senior Brother Lingxu, wasn't there anything unusual when we came to visit a few days ago?" It seems that these people have long known about the existence of this cauldron and have even been paying attention to it.
"Could it be that the two Taoist priests from the Immortal Temple found out how to activate the Kunlun Divine Cauldron?" Lingxu, the thin-faced Taoist with a whisk and long black beard, was the one who was really in charge.
Taoist Master Lingxu flicked the fly whisk and said with a solemn expression.
"The Kunlun Divine Cauldron has exhausted its power and fallen silent, turning into a mortal thing."
"This time he is born again, it is very likely to attract those demons who practice strange arts. Report to Shenjing as soon as possible!"
Several pigeons immediately flew to the direction of Dazhou Shenjing.
Several Taoists still felt that it was hard to calm down, so they decided to go and have a look at night to see what kind of changes had happened to the Dengxian Temple, which actually caused the Kunlun Divine Cauldron to revive again.
——————
Inside the kitchen of Dengxian Temple.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen outside, and Zhang Xibai and Zhang Qiuchan inside the house still felt in a trance.
"Gongzhou Sword Immortal!" Lifting the lid of the cooking pot, Zhang Qiuchan was still thinking about the scene she just saw and the rumors she heard in the world.
"Wandering Taoist priest..." Zhang Xibai thought of the Taoist's attire.
"That person outside? Is it really the Immortal Kongchenzi?" Zhang Xibai looked at Zhang Qiuchan and asked.
This feeling is similar to that of their ancestor suddenly walking down from the painting. It is really unbelievable.
"You can make the earth shake with a slap, can you release a fire dragon from your sleeves?" Nu Guan tied up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists, holding chopsticks and carefully testing the saltiness of the food.
However, they diligently prepared a table of food, only to find that the person eating with them was a donkey.
The two looked at each other.
General Donkey, who was familiar with the situation and did not regard himself as an outsider, sat down on the main seat.
The two front hooves were propped up on the rungs under the table, and the donkey's head rested entirely on the table.
The two long donkey ears were whirring, and upon hearing the movement, they immediately lifted the donkey's head from the table.
"What are you looking at? What are you two looking at? Hurry up and serve the food!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, they were so frightened that they almost threw the plates in their hands on the ground. They stood stupidly at the door, not daring to say anything.
"Do you have any wine? Get some wine for General Donkey!" General Donkey will not be polite.
"Really...really can talk! Can a donkey speak with his own mouth?" Zhang Xibai almost bit his tongue when he said this.
"Child from the field, I have never seen the world. What is a donkey? It's called Grandpa Donkey." General Donkey stretched out his hooves and slapped the table.
A simple meal was served on the table, along with a pot of home-brewed fruit wine.
The Zhang brothers and sisters have never eaten such a weird meal, and they didn't even dare to move their chopsticks while sitting on the table.
The talking donkey's eyes widened, and wine flowed out of the jug and fell into the donkey's mouth.
Open your mouth wide, roll your tongue, and a plate of food disappears.
After another roll, the rice in the bowl was gone.
While the two of them were still confused, General Donkey had already licked his mouth and finished the rice, vegetables and wine.
After eating, General Donkey slapped a piece of silver that had recently been rewarded by the Stingy Immortal on the table.
"What is this food? It's really hard to swallow!"
"Get something good tomorrow!"
Zhang Xibai immediately woke up from the state of shock, and pocketed the money with a flash of his hand: "Don't worry, Grandpa Donkey, just tell me what you want to eat tomorrow!"
Even the title was changed immediately.
General Donkey was stunned. Where is the money that I took out to show off and was about to take it back? I finally got it from the Stingy Immortal.
General Donkey stared at Zhang Xibai, but was too embarrassed to ask to go back.
I didn’t realize it, but this sharp-mouthed monkey has very fast hands!
Two streaks of white air came out of my nostrils, and I will definitely eat it tomorrow.
The Great Immortal Kongchen is currently sitting cross-legged on the lid of the Kunlun Divine Cauldron outside. The fire is flowing inside the cauldron, as if he is undergoing a final recovery.
"Grandpa Donkey! What on earth is the great immortal doing?" Zhang Qiuchan finally asked.
"Get ready to make elixirs!" General Donkey answered casually as he lay lazily at the gate of the temple after eating and drinking.
The Zhang brother and sister's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Qiuchan immediately spoke up, filled with surprise: "Is the immortal going to make elixirs in our place?"
Zhang Xibai looked at the cauldron that was constantly vibrating and buzzing from time to time, and immediately asked cautiously: "Does the Immortal want this cauldron just for alchemy?"
What General Donkey is best at is seeing into the hearts of these cunning people.
He snorted contemptuously: "We immortals have moral integrity! Do you want any treasures? How can we covet your trivial cauldron?"
"After refining the elixir, your benefits will be indispensable, and Ding won't want any of you."
"But..." At this point, General Donkey started to lie again.
Zhang Xibai immediately asked: "But what happened?"
General Donkey said hehely and maliciously: "If you put such a big tripod here, you can't move it or take it with you."
"It is estimated that the entire Yan Ding Mansion and Dazhou will know about it soon, and countless demons, forces, and demons will follow."
"It's hard to save the lives of both of you!"
The Donkey General showed a terrifying smile, just like the monster it spoke of: "When the time comes, it won't be enough to snatch the tripod. I also need your family's inheritance."
"I don't feel at ease after taking away the inheritance. I'm afraid it's incomplete or there are traps, so I have to use secret techniques to lock the soul and search for it."
"After that, we must kill people, silence them, crush their bones and raise ashes, in order to kill the enemy and eradicate the enemy, otherwise we can't feel at ease!"
Sitting at the door of the Taoist temple, General Donkey talked about the various terrifying methods of those monsters and demons, which made the two Zhang brothers and sisters, who had never even left Yanding Mansion and had been living in the peaceful and prosperous times of Gyeonggi, tremble with fear.
, I guess I’ll have nightmares tonight.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will sew your mouth shut."
Kong Chenzi sat cross-legged on the top of the cauldron cover, and followed the donkey general without opening his eyes.
General Donkey, who kept talking about the horror of the outside world, immediately shrank his head and fell to the ground in resignation.
Kong Chenzi raised his hand at this time, and a wisp of green energy originating from the incense and fire god picture appeared in his hand.
Suddenly, the entire Kunlun Divine Cauldron seemed to be boiling and frying.
The incense and green energy was pressed by the Taoist and blended into the Kunlun Divine Cauldron.
The lid of the cauldron, which was originally tightly sealed, finally showed its cracks and rose up.
Chapter completed!
