Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 15: The Four Divine Cauldrons Suppress the Luck and King Yu Refines Treasures to Protect the Nine Continents

x

It turns out that there are nine divine beast cauldrons in the four directions. They were forged by the sage Taishang Laojun and Si Wenming to suppress the luck of the Nine Provinces. This Jiuding continuously extracts the earth fire spiritual energy from the vast wilderness of the universe and provides it to hundreds of millions of living beings, forming a barrier of nine continents to protect the nine divine continents from falling apart and flying into the vast universe. If Zhu Ganglie takes away the Sifang Ding in Xiniu Hezhou, the spiritual energy of the entire Xiniu Hezhou will dissipate, and the sky full of gods, Buddhas and countless living beings will be swept into the universe.

Zhu Ganglie hesitated for a moment and said: "Senior, I only know that there are four major continents, Shenzhou in the east, Shenzhou in the south, Niuhezhou in the west, and Luzhou in the north. I don't know which nine continents these nine continents are?"

Si Wenming smiled and said: "These nine continents are the Southeast Shenzhou, the due south Yingzhou, the southwestern Rongzhou, the due west Yanzhou, the central Jizhou, the northwest Zhuzhou, the duebei Xuanzhou, the northeastern Xianzhou, and the duedongyangzhou. The southeastern Shenzhou is Dongsheng Shenzhou, the due south Yingzhou is Nanfanbuzhou, the southwest Rongzhou is Xiniuhezhou, and the northwest Zhuzhou is Beijuluzhou. Because they were all called in ancient times, they have been renamed now. There are countless other small continents outside this continent, endlessly connected to the sky.”

"Senior, I still have a question, where are the other five continents?"

The giant laughed and said: "Central Jizhou was originally the land of the Central Plains, the foundation of the world. Because of a battle to confer gods, the Sifang Ding was damaged, and the entire continent was broken into pieces by those ancient monks and scattered into the universe. The refinement of Lihuo As a star, the essence of Gentu turned into nine planets. Those human monsters scattered to the third planet to multiply and live, and their fate is unknown.

The Sifang Ding on Taizhou in the west was borrowed by Amitabha, and Taizhou became the Western Paradise. It has not been returned yet. I often asked him for help, but I just hesitated; the Sifang Ding in Yangzhou in Zhengdong was borrowed by Emperor Haotian and turned into the Thirty-three Heavenly Realm of Lihen, where the three hundred and sixty-five pure, blessed, and righteous gods lived and managed the world. Three realms of man.

The Sifang Ding in Xianzhou in the northwest was taken away by Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun, the ancestors of Tongtian Sect, and turned into the Holy Land of Shangqingtian and Yuqingtian. The Xuanzhou in the north was taken back by Taishang Laojun and turned into the Holy Land of Taiqing. Therefore, only four major continents are left among the nine major continents. "

"If you take this Sifang Ding in Hezhou, Xiniu, I'm afraid Sakyamuni Tathagata will steal it from you. He has borrowed it from me for a long time and wants to turn Lingshan into another paradise. I have learned from the past. Just don't let him. If it falls into your hands, he will snatch it away. "

Zhu Ganglie understood that the gods had been scheming for more than a day or two. Man said that he might not be able to hold the Sifang Ding. Even if he could, if Tathagata randomly sent a Bodhisattva, Lao Zhu would obediently give the Sifang Ding to others.

"Senior, may I ask if I can practice here?"

The giant twisted his beard and said with a smile: "You must be good. However, outsiders are prohibited from coming and going here. I can't make an exception to avoid being punished by the Sanqing. It's rare that we are destined, so you can put the magic weapon in the cauldron and wait for it to be tempered and mature, and it will naturally fly to you. Around me. I think the Tathagata Buddha has great supernatural powers, and Xiniu Hezhou is not short of half a star of spiritual energy."

Zhu Ganglie was a little disappointed, but it was a rare opportunity to temper the magic weapon, so he put the mace and the explosive chrysanthemum needle into the cauldron, then slapped his forehead, and the little golden pig jumped out and also sent it in.

Si Wenming hurriedly said: "The soul is not allowed! Li Huo is fierce, be careful to refine your soul in a moment!"

The fat man looked honest and said with a smile: "Senior, I don't know something. This second soul of mine is also a magic weapon. It just needs to be calcined with the essence of the ignorant fire."

The giant looked at the little golden pig that was swallowing the essence of Lihuo, and suddenly said: "Could it be the crow's method? No wonder it can break the barrier. Not long ago, the crow borrowed a cauldron from me and forged it with the sun's gold essence. One hundred and eight cypress gold wires. I remember that he came here once after becoming a god and forged three thousand wires, but I didn’t think they were enough..."

The giant has been here for who knows how many years, with no one accompanying him, and he talks a lot.

"Master Lu Yadao has also been here? I wonder if that guy has left?" Lao Zhu shuddered and smiled quickly: "Senior, I will leave now and won't disturb your cultivation. I dare to ask, senior, how can I be in the mortal world? Is there anything you need to do, kid?"

Si Wenming thought for a while and said: "There is indeed something. If I have the chance to pass by Tushan, help me take care of the Sky Fox Demon Clan there, and greet the Nine-Tails Clan leader, and say that Si Wenming was unworthy of her." He seemed unwilling to talk more about this matter and said with a smile: "Little friend, let me take you out."

The giant waved his hand gently, and Zhu Ganglie felt that the world was spinning. Even with his cultivation of Daluo Jinxian, he had no resistance at all. When he opened his eyes, he had already reached the ground. In front of him was a lively street with people coming and going. I couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Where did you send me?"

Zhu Ganglie stopped a passerby and inquired. It turned out that it was the border of Qingping, which was a hundred miles away from Liusha River. At that moment, he did not care about shocking the world. A Lihuo Changhong came to the sky above Liusha River, separated from the water surface, dived to the bottom of the water, and went straight to Shuiyue Cave.

When they reached the sky above Shuiyue Cave, Zhu Ganglie landed directly in front of the main hall. In front of the main hall, there were eight little demons patrolling with steel forks. When they saw a smiling guard flying down, they immediately surrounded him and shouted: "Hey! You fat man, why did you break into my fairy house for no reason?"

These eight little demons were all newcomers. They didn’t recognize the ancestor Zhu Ba, and Zhu Ganglie didn’t blame him. His consciousness scanned the Shuiyue Cave, but he didn’t find Sha Wujing’s breath. He said: “I am your ancestor, where is the ancestor Jinwu?” ?”

The eight little demons were hesitant, and one little Zhuanfeng said boldly: "Ancestor Jinwu and Ancestor Xionghui are fighting in the Liusha Cave today. The two kings went to help, and only the two kings guard the Immortal Mansion."

"The second king?" Zhu Ganglie thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Li Yu?"

Eight little demons pointed behind Zhu Ganglie and said, "The Second King is here!"

Zhu Ganglie looked back and saw Li Yuzheng rushing towards him. He bowed before he came to him and said happily, "Master, you are out of retreat?!"

The eight little demons heard that it was indeed the Eighth Ancestor Zhu. Their legs went weak with fear and they knelt down and shouted for the ancestor to spare their lives.

Zhu Ganglie gave him a false support and said, "Ignorance is not a crime, everyone stand up." Seeing two small horns popping out of Li Yu's head, he smiled and said, "Tianhao (Li Yu's name), have you turned into a fish dragon?"

"That's right. Three years ago, I broke the golden elixir and refined the Nascent Soul, and was able to transform into a dragon. I have to thank Master for his cultivation."

"Hehe, I accepted you as a disciple, but I didn't fulfill my teacher's responsibility. Instead, it was your uncle Jinwu who taught the skills. If you want to thank someone, thank him."

Li Yu said respectfully, "If it weren't for Master's promotion, how could Tianhao be here today? Master's great kindness, Tianhao will never forget it."

Zhu Ganglie nodded and said, "I'm glad that you know the general situation. Come, tell me what major events have happened since I was in seclusion."

The two strolled in Shuiyue Cave Heaven, looking at the scenery everywhere. Zhu Ganglie saw that Shuiyue Cave Heaven was in order and the defense formation was neat. He nodded secretly. Sha Wujing did a good job here. Li Yu bowed and walked behind him, slowly describing the changes over the years.

It turns out that Zhu Ganglie has been in seclusion for a hundred years without knowing it. In the past hundred years, Shuiyue Cave has expanded its power and has occupied a two thousand li water area. It has 100,000 little monsters and opened three caves, each with three disciples as the king. Fifty years ago, an ambush killed the giant pig demon king. Thirty years ago, a counter-espionage plan was used to destroy the alliance between the water corpse demon king and the dragon snake ancestor and kill the dragon snake ancestor. Not long ago, the water corpse demon king was forced to leave.

"Before leaving, the water corpse demon king said that he would go to Baihu Ridge to ask for reinforcements from his sister. Uncle Jinwu was afraid that his reinforcements would unite with the Xionggui ancestor and become more difficult to deal with. Therefore, today he had a decisive battle with the Xionggui ancestor in the quicksand cave. Brother Xie Wei and Brother Yuanhua have profound magic power and went to help. Only I am useless and stay here to guard the gate."

Zhu Ganglie was surprised. He didn't expect that after he came out of seclusion, even his disciples became demon kings. Zhu Ganglie was just considering whether to go and help Sha Wujing, when suddenly a little demon ran up to him with a look of joy and shouted from afar: "Second King, great joy! Great joy!"q.
