Chapter 482 Queen Mother's Golden Hairpin
Before this.
In order to deal with the anti-heaven army's "fire attack strategy", Marshal Tianpeng once dispatched the weak water of the Tianhe River to put out the fire.
Who would have thought that the weak water of the Milky Way would give rise to the seven emotions and six desires? Not wanting to be trapped in the Milky Way, the soldiers split into several groups and fled to the lower world like wild horses.
Even though Yang Jian and Yang Chan had great magical powers and tried their best to send two streams of Weak Water to the upper world, that was only one-fourth of the Weak Water.
The Weak Water of the Milky Way is known to have a terrible reputation as “not even a goose feather can float on it, and even a mortal body can hardly cross it”, and ordinary immortals cannot cross it.
But most of the Ruoshui had escaped, and the originally impregnable Tianhe Ruoshui defense line outside the Thirty-three Heavens had lost its meaning of existence, and its defensive capability had become extremely weak.
The anti-heaven army had taken advantage of the situation and flew directly across the Tianhe River. They were unstoppable all the way and reached the outside of the Tongming Palace.
The 80,000 Tianhe navy was originally a powerful force guarding the Tianhe defense line, but they suffered heavy losses in this catastrophe.
The anti-Heaven army used the "fire attack strategy" to ruthlessly burn and kill 40,000 Tianhe navy soldiers.
But above the Tianhe River, there are still 40,000 Tianhe navy.
then.
"Abandon the Tianhe defense line, and head to Tongming Palace to protect His Majesty!"
Marshal Tianpeng acted decisively at this moment. He knew very well that the Tianhe defense line outside the thirty-three heavens could no longer be held, so he simply gave up this defense line.
Marshal Tianpeng quickly gathered his old subordinates and concentrated all 40,000 Tianhe navy troops outside the Tongming Palace, preparing to engage in a thrilling life-and-death battle with the anti-heaven army.
Outside Tongming Palace.
With the addition and support of 40,000 Tianhe navy, the offensive of the anti-Tian army slowed down slightly.
The defenders of Tongming Palace were also able to rest and recover temporarily.
The Tianhe navy served as the main force of defense.
However, the Tianhe navy has always become stronger when encountering water.
When fighting in the water, the Tianhe navy is like a dragon entering the sea, displaying their magical powers and astonishing combat power.
But once they reached land, the Tianhe navy was like a tiger leaving the mountains, unable to exert their full combat strength, and the power of their spells was greatly reduced.
The water of the Milky Way surrounds the outer periphery of the Thirty-three Heavens, not far from the Tongming Palace.
So at this time, Marshal Tianpeng came up with a plan. He wanted to dispatch the water of the Milky Way and the power of the Weak Water to come to help again and "flood the anti-Heaven army."
But Marshal Tianpeng was worried and had many concerns.
He knew very well that Weak Water was difficult to control, and once he took the opportunity, it would most likely escape to the underworld again.
After all, “flows to lower places”, this is the law of nature.
Once the water of the Tianhe River leaves the Tianhe River, it will be like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and will be difficult to restrain.
Prior to this, the Human Emperor Dayu had been very angry about the Weak Water incident and had come to the Heavenly Palace in person, causing quite a stir with the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace.
It wasn't long before.
If the water from the Milky Way were to flow down to the mortal world again, would the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors let it go?They will surely rush out of the Fire Cloud Cave in anger and unleash their wrath like thunder.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have extremely high prestige and considerable strength in the Three Realms. Once they take action, the Heavenly Court will inevitably fall into a more passive situation.
Until then.
Not only did the Heavenly Court have to face the attack of the anti-Heavenly army, but it also had to deal with the questioning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race. It was like being attacked from both sides.
However, there are many magical weapons in the heavens, and each of them contains endless power.
Coincidentally, the Queen Mother of the West had a "golden hairpin" in her hand, which was a magical tool for controlling water, with great powers and endless uses.
The Queen Mother's golden hairpin can separate the essence of heaven and earth and determine the veins of the four rivers.
Back then, Gong Gong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, causing the pillars of heaven to break, the earth torn apart, and the water from the Milky Way to pour down into the human world.
It was the Queen Mother of the West who used her golden hairpin to split the Milky Way and diverted water to surround Mount Buzhou, temporarily slowing the water level and buying precious time for "Nuwa to mend the sky".
The Queen Mother's golden hairpin is incredibly powerful. With just a light stroke, it can create an indestructible barrier that isolates space.
You can “draw the sky across with a hairpin”.
Wherever the Queen Mother's golden hairpin draws, the barrier of the heaven is like a crystal dome that can prevent the stars from falling; the barrier of the earth is like a giant bronze lock that can suppress the movement of mountains and rivers; the barrier of the human world is like a glass barrier that can block the miasma of the mortal world.
"The Queen Mother's golden hairpin..."
Marshal Tianpeng had an idea that if he could borrow the Queen Mother's golden hairpin, perhaps he could use the water of the Milky Way and the power of the Weak Water to repel the anti-heaven army and prevent the Weak Water from escaping to the lower world.
Thinking of this, Marshal Tianpeng dared not delay for even a moment.
His figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the Lingxiao Palace.When he arrived in front of the palace, Marshal Tianpeng steadied himself, straightened his clothes, walked into the palace with a solemn look, and respectfully asked the Jade Emperor:
"Your Majesty, the current situation is critical. The anti-Heaven army is coming fiercely and unstoppable."
"Our Tianhe navy is good at water warfare, but it is difficult to display its abilities on land, just like a dragon trapped in a shallow beach, with sharp claws but no way to use them."
"I dare to ask Your Majesty to lend me your golden hairpin."
"Use the power of the golden hairpin to lock the boundary between heaven and man, so that the weak water cannot descend to the world to cause chaos, and calm the waves of the Milky Way."
"In this way, our Tianhe navy can use the power of the water to resist the enemy with all their strength and blunt its edge."
"Queen Mother..."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor slightly raised his eyes, his gaze was as deep as the abyss, and his expression was unfathomable, difficult to tell whether he was happy or sad.
When the world was first created, the Queen Mother of the West was transformed from the innate Yin energy, cool and beautiful, while the King Father of the East was transformed from the innate Yang energy, strong and hot.
In the past, the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East were a pair of gods, like the two poles of yin and yang, complementing each other and could be considered a pair of Taoist companions. They jointly managed many affairs between heaven and earth and maintained the balance and order of the three realms.
The Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother of the Yaochi used to be the main body and the good corpse, just like two sides of the same coin. Although they have the same origin, they have subtle differences.
But later, the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother of the West became independent.
Among the three corpses, the good corpse, the evil corpse and the obsessive corpse, the good corpse is pure and kind by nature, gentle and upright, like the warm spring sun, giving people warmth and hope, and is the most suitable to be the mother of the world.
Moreover, the nature of a good corpse is good, and it is the easiest to separate it from the main body.
The good corpse of Queen Mother of the Yaochi inherited the divine duty of "harmony of order and harmony of yin and yang" from the head of the female immortal Queen Mother of the West. In the heavenly palace, she is the mother of the three realms, in charge of various important matters in the three realms such as marriage, childbearing, and longevity.
It has become completely independent.
The Queen Mother of the West looks like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth. She is good at roaring like thunder, has disheveled hair and wears a crested bird crown, symbolizing the power of killing.
The Queen Mother of the Yaochi is kind and peaceful, with natural beauty, an enchanting appearance, and graceful and elegant demeanor. She is like a rich peony blooming in heaven, and is a stunning goddess.
Although the Queen Mother of the West and the Queen Mother of the Yaochi have become completely independent, they share the same origin and are still inextricably linked.
It is understandable that the current Queen Mother of Yaochi is the beautiful younger sister of Queen Mother of the West.
In fact, the two now call each other sisters.
But emperors are always suspicious.
Of course, suspicion is almost a common quality of emperors.
Now, Dong Wangong has reincarnated as Donghua Emperor and led the anti-Heaven army to invade. The situation is confusing and confusing.
The Jade Emperor still had some suspicions about the Queen Mother of the Yaochi in his heart. He was worried that the Queen Mother of the Yaochi would make some unusual moves at this critical moment.
There is a saying: "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."
This time, Marshal Tianpeng requested to borrow the "Queen Mother's Golden Hairpin" from the Queen Mother of the Yaochi, which was a perfect opportunity to test the waters.
If he, the Jade Emperor, had not lacked the golden hairpin on the Queen Mother's head, he would not have been able to defeat the enemy.
That's not the case.
Mainly, the Jade Emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Queen Mother of the West.
He wanted to see whether the Queen Mother of the Yaochi was on the side of Heaven, and was in the same boat with Heaven and him, the Jade Emperor, or did she have other plans?Think about this.
The Jade Emperor glanced at the general beside him, his eyes were deep and meaningful, and he spoke slowly:"Juanlian, send someone to Yaochi to borrow the Queen Mother's golden hairpin."
"Just say that we are trying to resist Donghua's anti-heaven rebels. The situation is urgent and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
The general immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said:"Yes, Your Majesty! I will follow Your Majesty's instructions and make proper arrangements."
At this time, Zhang Tianshi, who was standing by, did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately picked up the red brush and wrote on the white silk, and in a moment he had written a letter. Afterwards, Zhang Tianshi asked the Jade Emperor for the Jade Emperor's seal and solemnly stamped it.
After the Jade Emperor reviewed it, Zhang Tianshi handed the order to the General who Rolled the Curtain.
General Juanlian received the imperial order, strode out of the Lingxiao Palace and came to the outside of the Tongming Palace.
"Who should we send to Yaochi?"
With his sharp eyes, he slowly scanned the group of heavenly soldiers who were ready for battle nearby, selecting a suitable person to deliver the letter.
Suddenly, General Juanlian's eyes lit up and he spotted Xiao Chen in the crowd at a glance.
after all.
In the battle at Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, this heavenly soldier named "Yang Guoshan" showed his extraordinary abilities. His cultivation had even reached the realm of Xuanxian. Such strength was actually not inferior to that of ordinary heavenly generals.
Moreover, Yang Guoshan had once revealed his true feelings to General Juanlian, speaking sincerely, hoping to be transferred under his command to serve him.
The general in charge of the Curtain also secretly paid attention to him at that time, and had some appreciation for him and intended to promote him.
However, due to the major event of Emperor Donghua's rebellion against Heaven, the martial arts competition originally planned by Heaven had to be delayed.
At this time of turbulent times and critical situation, General Juanlian naturally had no time to consider promoting Xiao Chen.
At this moment.
As the Curtain-Pulling General, his primary responsibility at this critical moment is to closely protect the safety of the Jade Emperor and ensure the stability of the Lingxiao Palace.
However, the important task of delivering a letter to Yao Chi now requires a capable and reliable heavenly soldier to carry it out.
First, Yang Guoshan’s strength is quite impressive, far superior to that of ordinary heavenly soldiers.
In fact, Yang Guoshan's martial arts are quite good, and his actual combat power is even stronger than that of ordinary heavenly generals.
Secondly, Yang Guoshan is also his "confidant" and worthy of trust.
General Juanlian thought for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling Xiao Chen to move forward.
He stared at Xiao Chen with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice:"Yang Guoshan, please step forward. I have an important task for you."
Suddenly hearing the general calling him, Xiao Chen hurried forward and clasped his fists, saying:"What do you want, General Juanlian?"
The general nodded slightly, with a look of expectation in his eyes, and then said:
"The Tianhe navy needs the help of Queen Mother Queen's golden hairpin."
"You must go to Yaochi quickly and convey His Majesty's order to the Queen Mother. Be sure to borrow the Queen Mother's golden hairpin to help the Heavenly Court solve its urgent problem."
"Queen Mother...the golden hairpin..."
"Yaochi Fairyland..."
When Xiao Chen heard what General Juanlian said, he was also moved.
After all, the Queen Mother has many treasures.
The "Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum" they are looking for is one of the treasures of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother usually lives in the ethereal and dreamy fairyland of Yaochi.
If the search for the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum in Tongming Palace is fruitless, then Yaochi might be the hiding place of the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.
However, the fairyland of Yaochi has always been an important place in the heavenly court. On weekdays, it is an honorable place where the Queen Mother entertains the gods of the three realms.
Every time there is a Peach Festival, celestial music fills the air, the table is filled with fine liquor, and all kinds of immortals gather together to celebrate the event.
However, on normal days, the Yao Chi fairyland is heavily guarded, like a solid wall of steel, and with great deities like the Queen Mother in charge, no one dares to trespass without permission.
And now, this is obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Firstly, he can take this opportunity to go to the Yao Chi fairyland to look for clues about the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.
Secondly, the golden hairpin of the Queen Mother is actually a very extraordinary magic weapon in mythology.
It is said that the golden hairpin of the Queen Mother has a "golden handle and a jade core that shines brightly", symbolizing a "golden marriage" and having infinite power.
In the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, it is said that the fact that the Weaver Girl came down to earth and did not return to heaven alarmed the Queen Mother.
The heavenly soldiers and generals were ordered to capture the Weaver Girl and escort her back to heaven.
In a hurry, Niulang flew up to the sky wearing the skin of an old cow, carrying two children on his shoulders, and was about to chase Zhinu. Niulang might have intended to use the children to impress Zhinu and keep her in the world.
In order to uphold the rules of heaven, the Queen Mother took off the golden hairpin on her head and drew a picture in the sky.
Suddenly, the Milky Way surged out, and the waves surged, separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. From then on, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by heaven and earth, and could only look at each other across the river, and it was difficult for them to meet.
This is the widely circulated story of “The Queen Mother draws a line through the Milky Way with a hairpin”.
This plot evolved in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji" into: "The hairpin turns into surging waves, and love is separated by stars on both sides."
This hairpin of Queen Mother of the West is very famous.
Wang Anshi, a famous official in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem called "Jade Hairpin", which specifically describes the hairpin of the Queen Mother: "The fairy in the Jade Pool feasted in the flowing clouds, and when she was drunk, she left her hairpin and it turned into a flower."
Huang Tingjian's poem "Jade Hairpin" also wrote: "After the banquet at the mother's house in Yaochi, the tender jade flew onto the purple cloud carriage. The jade hairpin fell to the ground and no one picked it up, and it turned into the most beautiful flower in Jiangnan."
……
This golden hairpin of the Queen Mother must be a very precious magic weapon.
If King Jinjiao could take advantage of this opportunity to successfully get his hands on the magical golden hairpin of the Queen Mother.
This really kills two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen hurriedly clasped his hands together, stood upright, and said respectfully:
"General, I will definitely fulfill my mission and handle this matter properly, and live up to your expectations."
General Juanlian nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and handed the imperial edict to Xiao Chen solemnly, and said in a deep voice:
"On the way to Yaochi, there may be rebels blocking your way. You need to be careful and don't delay this important matter concerning the safety of the Heavenly Court."
Xiao Chen took the order with both hands and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, General Juanlian. I will do my best."
Xiao Chen was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered that this was his first time stepping into the Thirty-three Heavens and he had no idea about the exact location of the Yao Chi.
There are clouds and mist all around, and it is difficult to tell the direction. If you don't ask clearly, you will probably get lost in this vast sky.
So Xiao Chen turned to the Curtain General and asked:"General, where exactly is Yaochi?"
The general raised his hand and pointed to the west, and said in a loud and clear voice:
"From here to the west, more than 90,000 miles away, is the Yaochi fairyland."
Xiao Chen nodded, took the imperial edict, raised the spear in his hand, and with immortal power surging around him, he rode on the clouds and mist, and rushed towards the direction of Yao Chi like a meteor.
The military situation was urgent at the moment, so there was no time to consider any flying taboos.
This order was issued personally by General Juanlian, who appointed him to go.
Naturally, he couldn't take Princess Halloween with him.
Before leaving, Xiao Chen had to use the "Mosquito Brand Wireless Phone" to hurriedly instruct Princess Halloween to make sure she takes good care of herself.
Princess Halloween responded softly:
"King Jinjiao, don't worry. I will take good care of myself. You should also be careful."
……
They have all reached the realm of immortals, and riding on clouds and mist is just a basic skill that they can do with ease.
Xiao Chen's figure was as fast as lightning, moving freely among the clouds and mist.
The journey was not peaceful either, as several teams of rebellious immortals tried to block his way.
Xiao Chen was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, waving the spear in his hand like a dragon emerging from the sea, and easily killed all the immortals who blocked his way.
He walked for a while in the direction due west.
Xiao Chen came to the dreamlike fairyland of Yao Chi.
