The sky has thirty-six layers.
Nantianmen is the main entrance to heaven. After passing through Nantianmen, you can enter the first heaven.
Thirty-six days, each heaven is considered a world.
Ordinary immortals, whose cultivation is not advanced enough and who do not have powerful magical escape skills, can generally only fly on clouds. Riding on the clouds and controlling the wind is a common way for immortals and gods in the three realms to travel.
Fairies riding auspicious clouds and spirits riding the wind are just like ordinary people traveling on horseback.
But there are also some special gods.
Immortals with high status do not need to ride on clouds and wind when traveling, because such immortals have mounts. The Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism have mounts, the powerful immortals have mounts, and the saints and leaders also have mounts.
If the Jade Emperor is traveling to inspect the three realms, he will even be summoned by nine dragons to show his supreme status as the ruler of the three realms.
Of course, not all immortals have mounts, and ordinary immortals are not qualified to own mounts.
Zhenyuan Immortal is an innate divine being who was born when the world first opened. He is the top supernatural power in the three realms. However, Zhenyuan Immortal has always been relatively low-key and simple, and does not engage in those vain things. Therefore, Zhenyuan Immortal has always been relatively low-key and simple. There is no mount when going out.
What are mounts used for?
To put it bluntly, mounts are used by powerful people to show off their appearance. To be honest, going out on a horse is not as fast as those with great magical powers who use escape techniques. Those with great supernatural powers can reach the horizon with their thoughts, but shrink to an inch with their steps. Therefore, the mount is only used to decorate the scene.
Unless someone can capture the Kunpeng Ancestor and use him as a mount.
You can only think about catching the ancestor Kunpeng as a mount. No one in the Three Realms has this ability. Not even a few saint leaders can do it. A person like Patriarch Kunpeng would probably die together and not be used as a mount for others.
Li Zhige and the Great Immortal Zhenyuan rode the auspicious cloud heads up to the sky to the Nantian Gate.
The sky in the eyes of mortals refers to the sky above our heads.
In fact, above the thick clouds, there is the Nantian Gate. Behind the Nantian Gate is the real sky, and it is divided into thirty-six layers.
The driving speed was not very fast, so it took Li Zhige and Zhenyuan Immortal most of the day to arrive outside the Nantian Gate. This is still Li Zhige and Zhenyuan Immortal. Even a low-level immortal would not be able to reach the Nantian Gate in less than ten days and a half.
One day in the sky and one year in the earth are divided by the Nantian Gate.
Entering Nantianmen, one day after Nantianmen, one year outside Nantianmen.
At the gate of Nantianmen, there are many majestic and solemn heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate. The leader is the West Heavenly King, namely, the Heavenly King Zhiguo, the Heavenly King Zengzheng, the Heavenly King Guangmu, and the Heavenly King Duowen.
This Heavenly King of the West was originally the Western General of the Demon Family. He was born in the Jiejiao Sect and was a third-generation disciple of the Jiejiaojiao. In the past, General Xi of the Demon Family came out to help the Yin Shang Dynasty, but he was defeated by the immortals of the Chan Sect headed by Jiang Ziya. He ended up dead, and his true spirit was listed on the list of gods.
The war between Yin Shang and Xiqi was a battle between Chanjiao and Jiejiao, and a game between several sect leaders.
Obviously, the Sage of Shangqing lost, and the Jiejiao disciples who were involved in the battle to become gods were on the list of gods one after another.
Later, Jiang Ziya presided over the conferment of gods, and Xijiang of the Demon Family was conferred the title of Heavenly King of the West. He reshaped his body and soul. From then on, he had no freedom, his path was cut off, and he could only guard the gate of heaven.
The names of the King of Control, the King of Growth, the King of Broad Eyes, the King of Hearing, and the King of the West sound majestic and domineering, but in fact they have a low status in heaven. To put it bluntly, they are the security captains guarding the west gate.
Li Zhige and Zhenyuan Immortal came hand in hand.
The King of Xida did not know Li Zhige, but they knew the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
Seeing the Immortal Zhenyuan arriving in front of the Nantian Gate, the leader, Lord Chiguo, Mo Liqing, greeted him with a respectful expression, "It turns out that the Immortal Zhenyuan has arrived. Is the Immortal Zhenyuan here to participate in the peach feast?"
Immortal Zhenyuan smiled kindly, without any pretense, and nodded gently, "I have been invited to attend the feast, and I also asked several heavenly kings to let me go."
Mo Liqing was a little flattered and quickly said, "The great immortal will not try to defeat me."
Looking at Li Zhige, who was half a step behind the Immortal Zhenyuan, Mo Li Qingchao asked the Immortal Zhenyuan, "Immortal, is this your old man's disciple?"
Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and shook his head, and explained to Mo Liqing, "King of the Kingdom, this little friend Li Zhige is not a disciple of Lao Chan. Little friend Li Zhige was invited by Lao Jun and came to the banquet with Lao Chan. "
In front of the Nantian Gate, the Western Heavenly King, including all the heavenly soldiers and generals, all turned to look at Li Zhige.
Laojun invites you, this is not a light weight!
Ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals may not know who Li Zhige is, but the Western Heavenly Kings have heard of Li Zhige, and their eyes when looking at Li Zhige suddenly became much softer.
Li Zhige didn't say anything more. He took out the immortal gold invitation and handed it to the King of the West for inspection.
Immortal Zhenyuan had a special status, and the Western Heavenly King did not have the guts to check the invitation card from Immortal Zhenyuan, but Li Zhige did not have as big a reputation as Immortal Zhenyuan.
Mo Liqing just glanced at it casually, then handed the invitation back to Li Zhige, and said to Li Zhige with a smile, "Since you have been invited by me, you should have a place at the peach feast."
"Great Immortal, Fellow Daoist Li, please come in."
Mo Liqing got out of the way, and the heavenly soldiers and generals behind him followed suit and opened a passage.
Li Zhige followed Immortal Zhenyuan and entered the Nantian Gate with him, curiously looking at the surrounding scenery.
After entering Nantianmen, Li Zhige clearly noticed the change in the flow of time.
Looking at the brilliant and majestic buildings in front of him, Li Zhige couldn't help but curiously asked Zhenyuan Immortal, "Immortal, since there is Nantian Gate, there must be West Tianmen, East Tianmen, and North Tianmen. Why should we start from Nantian Gate? Come in?"
Immortal Zhenyuan was not surprised at all by Li Zhige's question. He explained with a smile, "The earth has the west, and the sky has the west dome. Heaven also has the West Gate, the East Gate, and the North Gate. But the Nantian Gate is the main gate of the Heaven. Going to the Heavenly Gate from the Heavenly Gate is a sign of respect for the Heavenly Palace. The immortals generally enter and exit the Heavenly Gate through the South Heavenly Gate."
Li Zhige nodded to express his understanding.
It was not the first time for Immortal Zhenyuan to come to Heaven. He was familiar with the way and took Li Zhige to Yaochi Wonderland.
On the way, Zhenyuan Immortal explained to Li Zhige, "There are thirty-six levels in the sky. The Lingxiao Palace is on the thirty-second day. Going up from the thirty-second day is the thirty-third Lihen Heaven. Laojun's Tushita Palace In the Thirty-three Lihentian."
Li Zhige asked in confusion, "There are thirty-six levels of heaven. When Laojun left the Hentian in the thirty-third day, can anyone live in those thirty western days, thirty-five days, and the last thirty-six days?"
Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head and said with a smile, "The last three levels of heaven have collapsed, so the thirty-third level of Lihentian where Laojun is located is the highest heaven."
Li Zhige wanted to ask something else, but Immortal Zhenyuan changed the subject and said, "What we are going to now is Yaochi Wonderland. The Queen Mother holds a peach feast in Yaochi Wonderland every thousand years, and many gods and gods are invited to go. Yaochi Wonderland It was originally above West Kunlun, but later the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor came to rule the Heavenly Palace, and the Yaochi Fairyland was also moved to the Heavenly Palace. Once you enter the Yaochi Lake, you will know what the real fairyland is."
"Yaochi is different from Laochan's shabby Longevity Mountain. Don't be dazzled by it later."
Li Zhige smiled and shook his head, "The mountain is not high, but it is famous if it has immortals. The place where the great immortal is is the most spiritual place in the world, how can it be shabby?"
Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and said nothing, obviously he took advantage of Li Zhige's words.
Li Zhige and Immortal Zhenyuan went to Yaochi Fairyland without any hurry.
In the fairyland of Yaochi, there is a clear fairy pool with sparkling water. The fairy pool is surrounded by a sea of flowers. There is a banquet in the sea of flowers. Many immortals are sitting in it, whispering to each other in twos and threes, and the atmosphere is peaceful and lively.
There is a glazed bridge at the entrance to Yaochi Wonderland.
On both sides of the Liuli Bridge are the female fairies from heaven. The task of these female fairies is to welcome the powerful immortals who come from all walks of life to attend the feast.
On the Liuli Bridge, the Baihua Fairy in a pink fairy dress stood on the bridge. She looked outside from time to time, with expectation in her eyes as if she was waiting for someone.
Next to Baihua Fairy, Yang Chan was wearing a goose yellow fairy dress. She had sly eyes and sighed, "All the gods and gods that should come are here, even Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva are here. I'm afraid Sister Baihua won't be able to wait for Li Zhi today." Goro.”
After Yang Chan finished speaking, Baihua Fairy's face turned pale. She shook her head repeatedly, her voice soft and delicate, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, "No. The Supreme Immortal said that we will meet again at the Yaochi Banquet, and the Supreme Immortal will not make a mistake."
Yang Chan sighed, "Well, they say that one day in the sky and one year in the earth. We have been back for a few days, and it has only been a few days. Sister Baihua is naturally thinking about Li Zhige. But for Li Zhige , He has been in the mortal world for several years, and he may have long forgotten who Sister Baihua is."
"Poor sister Baihua came to Yaochi Fairyland early this morning. She was waiting for the great immortals and the Bodhisattva Buddha to come, but she couldn't wait for her sweetheart."
Baihua Fairy did not refute. She looked forward firmly and said calmly, "The Immortal told me that he would come to Yaochi for a feast. The Immortal will not lie to me."
Yang Chan shook her head and smiled at the fairies on the side, "Let Sister Baihua wait here by herself. We'd better go in quickly and don't miss the feast."
A group of female fairies were singing and singing, looking at Fairy Baihua with a lot of teasing eyes.
Among the female fairies, the youngest fairy walked up to Fairy Baihua and asked curiously, "Sister Baihua, are you really moved by the world? Sister Baihua, can you tell me what it feels like to be moved by the world?" ?”
Fairy Baihua shook her head and said nothing, not paying attention to the teasing of the female fairies beside her.
Yang Chan glanced at the youngest female fairy and said with a smile, "Why, our Fairy Caixia has also moved her mortal heart and wants to secretly come down to the mortal world to experience what love is?"
Fairy Caixia nodded and looked at Yang Chan, "Isn't Sister Yang Chan curious?"
Yang Chan's face stiffened. Her mother, Yao Ji, was moved by a mortal heart and secretly came down to the mortal world to fall in love with a mortal and gave birth to their brothers and sisters. Therefore, she violated the rules of heaven and was suppressed under the Peach Mountain. Her eldest brother and father He also died as a result.
Fairy Caixia's casual words brought back Yang Chan's sad past.
Yang Chan's face was stiff, she turned to look at Fairy Caixia, and threatened fiercely, "Caixia, are you not afraid that I will tell the Queen Mother that you seven fairies sneak away to earth every day?"
As soon as Yang Chan said this, the seven fairies all changed their expressions and looked at Yang Chan pleadingly.
Fairy Baihua shook her head and said helplessly, "Okay, Yang Chan is scaring you."
On the Liuli Bridge, the seven female fairies looked at Yang Chan angrily and started chasing each other on the Liuli Bridge.
There are seven fairies in heaven who are favored by the Queen Mother. These seven fairies wear red clothes, green clothes, plain clothes, green clothes, purple clothes, yellow clothes and colorful clothes. Therefore, the seven fairies are also called Hongxia Fairy, Qingxia Fairy, Suxia Fairy, Green Fairy. Fairy Xia, Fairy Zixia, Fairy Huangxia, Fairy Caixia.
Fairy Caixia is the youngest of the seven fairies.
Having had enough of the chasing and fighting, Fairy Hongxia looked at Fairy Baihua who was quietly beside her, "Sister Baihua, it's already this time, so Immortal Li Zhige probably won't come."
Baihua Fairy shook her head stubbornly, "No. The Immortal said he would come, and I believe he will definitely come."
The youngest Fairy Caixia pulled Fairy Baihua's sleeve and asked curiously, "Sister Baihua, I have heard of Immortal Li Zhige. I heard from the Giant Spirit God that Immortal Li Zhige is very fierce, even more ferocious than the God of Justice. , is a ferocious immortal. Sister Baihua, have you ever seen that Immortal Li Zhige, can you tell me what Immortal Li Zhige is like?"
On the side, Yang Chan rolled up her sleeves and interrupted with dissatisfaction, "Caixia, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart. My second brother is not cruel. My second brother is the gentlest person in the world."
Fairy Caixia curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "The God of Justice is very fierce to begin with. He always has a straight face. I have never seen him smile."
Yang Chan was really angry and looked at Fairy Caixia with an angry expression, "Caixia, I don't allow you to say anything bad about your second brother!"
Yang Chan and Yang Jian, brothers and sisters, depend on each other for life. Only Yang Chan knows that her second brother Yang Jian is the gentlest person in the world.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Fairy Hongxia quickly opened her mouth and said, "Although Brother Yang is stern, that's because Brother Yang is in charge of the rules and regulations of heaven, which is his responsibility. Caixia doesn't know Brother Yang's difficulties. Yang Chan, don’t be angry.”
On the side, Fairy Zixia suddenly said, "Look, is the person who came with Immortal Zhenyuan the Immortal Li Zhige?"
The seven fairies turned their heads one after another.
On the Liuli Bridge, Baihua Fairy looked at the approaching Qingshan. The flowing water in her eyes contained endless tenderness, and the shallow pear dimples on her cheeks seemed to fit into the Western Sea.
Fairy Caixia looked at the approaching old man and Immortal in Tsing Yi. She did not forget her duties, and with an excited voice, she sang loudly, "The Great Immortal Zhenyuan is here!"
"Li Zhige has arrived!"
Fairy Caixia had just finished shouting, and the expressions of the other fairies on the Liuli Bridge became strange.
The duty of the seven fairies is to welcome the gods and goddesses who come to attend the peach feast. Before, Caixia's voice was not so loud when the Tathagata Buddha arrived.
In the Yaochi Fairyland, in front of the palace, the Queen Mother in full dress obviously heard Fairy Caixia's excited singing, and she couldn't help but frown.
Beside the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor turned his gaze to the entrance of Yaochi, with a subtle smile on his face.
Below, the immortals all looked sideways, each with different expressions on their faces.
The World Honored Tathagata was sitting on the lotus platform with an expressionless face. He seemed not to have heard Fairy Caixia's excited singing.
But the Guanyin Bodhisattva next to the World-Honored Tathagata did not have such good concentration, and there was a touch of coldness on his charming face.
