Extra 4: Clouds are like dreams, and the fragrance of spirits is everywhere (Part 2)
The little deaf boy was still lost in thought when he saw a group of fairy children running in groups of two or three towards the main hall, chattering loudly, and no one knew what they were arguing about.
In the past, the little deaf boy would definitely not join in the fun, but perhaps because he had seen too many interesting things in the world, this time he joined in for the first time.
After all, he was still a boy from Tushita Palace, wasn't he? What if something good happened?
The little deaf boy was making excuses for himself as he followed the crowd into the main hall.
In the main hall, Laojun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and remained silent, with two young boys, Jin Ling and Yin Ling, serving on his left and right.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Jin and Yin looked at each other and then explained the reason for gathering everyone together.
It turned out that Laojun was trying to refine a rare elixir, requiring the use of the Three Talents Formation. As a result, the two of them were too busy to handle it, so they had to choose another boy from among the group to carefully watch over the fire.
This is a rare opportunity. If the elixir is successfully refined, maybe I can become a servant in the main hall like the two boys, gold and silver.
If one can become a servant in the main hall, he will have the status of an immortal, and it is possible that he will become a god in the future.
No wonder a group of boys were trying so hard to squeeze in. The little deaf boy curled his lips, drooped his head, and looked dejected.
The little deaf boy was not keen on becoming a god or an immortal. He felt that his current life was good enough and there was no need to fight for anything. It didn't matter even if he was a cleaning boy for the rest of his life.
After hearing what Jin and Yin said, all the boys perked up and looked serious, each of them looking as if no one else could do the job except themselves.
In comparison, the little deaf boy looked much more awkward. He sat there with a downcast look on his face, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
Jin and Yin looked at each other helplessly: This job is really not easy!
But in the end, this task still fell on the little deaf man...
In the words of Jin and Yin, the little deaf boy is too lazy on weekdays and it's time for him to focus on his studies.
The little deaf man said nothing, but he had no idea that this was the excuse that Jin and Yin had racked their brains to come up with.
So, after three days of meditation, the little deaf boy reluctantly entered the alchemy room.
Although he is said to be watching over the fire, that is not entirely true. Most of the time he just fans it casually to fool people.
The Bagua furnace uses the Liuding divine fire, which is mostly controlled by Laojun himself, with the two children, gold and silver, assisting him on his left and right.
What the little deaf boy needed to do was to add materials, and what to put in and when were all ordered by Jin and Yin.
So the job is not very difficult.
But it's boring.
So it was natural that the little deaf boy would be in a daze again.
But every time at this time, either the Golden Spirit would order to add more firewood, or the Silver Spirit would remind him what medicine to add. In any case, they would never let the little deaf boy have any time to rest.
It wasn’t so troublesome to watch the fire in the past, why is it so troublesome today?
Just when the little deaf boy was about to give up again out of doubt, Laojun suddenly spoke.
"It's time..."
The low murmur of these words unexpectedly woke the deaf boy up.
Is it time? When?
Laojun flicked his whisk, and the lid of the Bagua furnace flew up. Then he raised his hand and a green grass floated into the furnace.
It’s spiritual incense!
Perhaps because it had left the soil, the fragrance did not look as fresh as before, but it was still green, with scattered small flowers blooming wantonly, as if unaware of its impending fate.
Looking at the incense getting closer and closer to the Bagua furnace, the little deaf boy looked dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, with an inexplicable impulse, the little deaf boy jumped up, hugged Lingxiang and held it in his arms.
All these happened in a split second, and Laojun didn't seem to have expected it. After he reacted, his snow-white beard flew up into the sky.
"Yunxu! What are you doing!"
Jin and Yin also came to their senses and shouted to stop them.
I have never seen Laojun like this before, he is obviously very angry.
The little deaf boy was startled, but he stammered and couldn't explain what was going on. He looked down at Lingxiang with a determined look.
He still remembered that Laojun once told him that all plants and trees have spirits, and their final destination is to return to dust and mud, and the same is true for all things.
But since it has spirituality, it should not be slaughtered so casually!
The little deaf boy seemed to have made up his mind. He found strength from nowhere and broke through the palace door and rushed out.
Before he left, he could still hear Laojun beating his chest and stamping his feet in the hall, but the little deaf boy didn't care about that.
He didn't want the spiritual incense to be refined!
Although I don’t know where this emotion comes from, Laojun once said, "Follow your original heart, and then talk about achieving enlightenment."
So he wanted to run and take Lingxiang away from here.
The chaos in the main hall soon spread throughout the entire Tushita Palace. Upon hearing the news, a group of boys joined the team to catch the deaf boy.
The little deaf boy had nowhere to hide, so he took advantage of the other boys not paying attention and quickly ran out of the Tushita Palace.
But they were still seen by Jin Ling and Yin Ling. They shouted to catch the man, and a group of people rushed out to chase him.
If we catch him, it would be a great achievement and it would definitely be recorded in front of Laojun.
The little deaf boy had never left the Tushita Palace, so how could he know where to run? In a panic, he ran for an unknown amount of time before arriving at the gate of a temple.
The plaque on the door reads "Tianfu Palace", which is the palace of the Star God of Life.
I heard that this person is not easy to deal with!
The little deaf boy hurried to leave, but when he turned around he saw Jin Ling and Yin Ling. He had no choice but to rush into Tianfu Palace.
Tianfu Palace is different from Tushita Palace. It only has a main hall, a pond and three trees, one with gold leaves, one with jade leaves, and one with glazed leaves.
The colored glaze leaves were like cicada wings, with a few sparse and tinkling leaves and clear visible lines.
Under normal circumstances, the deaf boy would definitely stop and watch, but now that someone is chasing him, how could he care about these things?
But there is nowhere to hide now!
You can't just go into the main hall. If you meet the Star Lord of Life, won't you have to hand him over to Laojun?
The deaf boy was extremely anxious, but the people behind him had already caught up with him, and Yin Ling even grabbed his robe.
The deaf boy made up his mind, tore off his outer robe, and jumped into the pool.
This frightened Yin Ling, who immediately shouted "little deaf boy" and pretended to rescue him, but Jin Ling stopped him.
"He's already jumped, why bother putting on a show?"
Yin Ling rubbed his nose in frustration - he finally had such an opportunity, why wasn't he allowed to show his talents?
The water in Tianfu Palace is called Zhuoguang Pond. It is not an ordinary pond water. It is used by the gods in heaven to experience tribulations and attain enlightenment. It is said that it is connected to Zhuoguang Mountain in the lower world.
As the deaf boy sank, two rays of divine light flashed, they were Laojun and Ziwei Emperor.
"Oh my, I finally tricked this kid into going down." Emperor Ziwei spoke impatiently before he even stood still.
Laojun looked indifferent, completely devoid of the angry look he had just shown in the Tushita Palace. He just picked up a leaf that had fallen on the ground.
It's the angelica leaf.
It was probably wiped off by the deaf boy in a hurry when he was trying to break free.
Laojun sighed, a look of pity on his face.
That fragrant grass is also pitiful!
"When you first brought Yunxu here, I was worried that his Yang soul was missing and he would become stupid and rude in the future. I never thought you would find his Taiguang soul and bury it in my palace."
Laojun sighed as he spoke, but Emperor Ziwei did not answer him, but only looked at Zhuoguang Pond.
The little deaf boy is exactly the remnant soul that Emperor Ziwei brought from the underworld to the upper world, and this remnant soul is exactly the soul of the descendant of the human king Di Xin.
In the Shang Palace, the concubine who was beheaded was pregnant with twins, one of whom was a deaf boy.
After the Battle of Muye, Emperor Ziwei foresaw the chaos of the future, so he secretly went to the underworld, trying to find the souls of the two children.
But unfortunately, he had already left the underworld at that time, so it was inconvenient for him to interfere too much, so he only found one of them later, the little deaf man.
This is probably the balance of power of heaven.
Just like the black and white of Tai Chi, if there is one, there will be two. The way of balance applies to all things.
The wrath of the king must ultimately be resolved by his descendants. How can others interfere? Otherwise, the chaos of King Zhou of Shang will be repeated.
As for the fragrant grass, it was a ray of yang soul that Emperor Ziwei had gone through great pains to find.
That's why the little deaf boy always liked to sit under the sacred tree in the Tushita Palace and daydream.
Fortunately, over time, the soul and the spirit have become one.
However, he did not expect that the remaining soul could actually transform into a magical herb and become intelligent, which led to the current plan.
The Emperor of Ziwei was indeed not mistaken. The little deaf boy was indeed kind-hearted, which was naturally inseparable from the subtle teachings of Laojun.
"The road ahead is long and difficult!" Emperor Ziwei also sighed helplessly.
Laojun picked up the leaf, pondered for a moment, then took out an object, merged the leaf into it, and threw it into Zhuoguang Pond.
The object was none other than an incense burner used as a basin for burning incense.
As soon as the stove entered the water, it turned into a golden light and flew towards the underworld at a high speed following the place where the little deaf man disappeared.
As soon as the little deaf boy entered the water, he felt extremely suffocated, but even so, he still held the herb tightly.
Just like that, it keeps sinking...sinking...
Until a flash of golden light caught the deaf boy off guard and scared him, and the fragrant grass slipped out of his hand.
The deaf boy tried to grab the fragrant grass again, but the more panicked he became, the harder it was to catch it.
Gradually, the little deaf boy lost his strength.
As darkness fell, a voice faintly came to my ears:
"Yunxu, Yunxu, when you reach the lower realm, you must find me..."
The deaf boy didn't know whose voice it was, he just thought it sounded beautiful, but he couldn't open his eyes. The chaotic feeling, like the water around him, was getting heavier and heavier... heavier and heavier...
A few years later, a baby boy was born in the Nanhuailong family. Two years later, a baby's cry was heard in Xianyunju on Qingwei Peak.
There were also two more leaves on the tree in Tianfu Palace, one jade leaf and one glazed leaf.
The strange thing is that these two leaves overlap each other, connecting the jade branch and the glass branch together...
