Chapter 1158: Passing the Five Gates

Translator: 549690339

Xia Ping ‘an easily passed through the Mirage God’s illusion. He had originally wanted to subdue the Mirage Beast in the Mirage God’s illusion to help him, but he didn’t expect the Mirage Beast’s soul to be locked in the Imperial Palace. It was one of the guards of the Imperial Palace and couldn’t leave, so Xia Ping’ an gave up.

Xia Pingan stepped out of the illusion and the scenery before him changed. He saw a clear blue sky and a picturesque scene. A beautiful lake surrounded by blue waves came into view. A square pavilion with three eaves and a pointed roof was beside the blue waves. There was a platform around the pavilion, and the surroundings were filled with plum blossoms. The south side of the pavilion faced water, and it went down to the ground through seven steps. The entire platform was made of limestone stone, and the top was covered with stone slabs. It was magnificent and exquisite.

This was…

When Xia Ping ‘an saw this building, he immediately thought of a place. The more he looked at this building, the more familiar it became. In his previous life, he had explored ancient places. He had basically personally explored all those famous places of interest and historical sites. Among the famous buildings and historical sites in China, this one was considered famous.

Looking at the surroundings of this space, Xia Pingan realized that there were no other entrances and exits other than the attic.

Just as Xia Pingan arrived at the pavilion, the door of the pavilion suddenly opened. A thin and spirited old man dressed in plain clothes floated out from the pavilion and smiled at Xia Pingan.” Please forgive me, Young Master. I will guard this pavilion here. If Young Master wants to leave, you will have to go through me!””

” May 1 know your name?” Xia Ping ‘an asked politely.

“My name is not worth mentioning. I’m just a commoner among the ten thousand plum blossoms!”The old man said humbly.

Ten thousand plum blossoms, a commoner’s name, this was Sun Ranweng’s self-title. Xia Ping ‘an immediately had an idea.

“I wonder how you can pass this test?”Xia Pingan continued to ask.

“Do you see anything missing at the entrance of this pavilion?”The old man pointed at the attic and asked Xia Ping ‘an.

Xia Pingan looked at the entrance of the pavilion and smiled.” There are two shiny black wooden boards hanging at the entrance of the pavilion. However, there is not a single word on the wooden boards, and they are missing a couplet!”

The old man clapped his hands and smiled.”That’s right. I’ll give you the first line of the couplet. If you can match the second line, as long as you can match it neatly and have a standard of 60 – 70%, I won’t make things difficult for you. You’ll pass this test. Once you enter the building, you can leave this world. What do you think?””

“Thank you for your generosity, sir. Please write the first half!”

“Young Master, look carefully. This is the first half of the couplet!”The old man turned around and a brush suddenly appeared in his hand. He flew in the air and wrote wildly on the empty plaque on the right side of the pavilion door. Golden words appeared on the empty plaque.

Five hundred miles of the Dianchi Lake ran into the eyes of the two. I put on my lapel and turban on the shore, happy to see the vast and boundless sky! Look: the east is the god, the west is the spirit, the north is the winding, the south is the plain. High people rhyme scholars, why not choose to climb the mountain, take advantage of the crab island snail island, comb wrapped in the wind fog hair; The sky and reeds are decorated with green feathers and red clouds. Don’t let down: fragrant rice around, thousands of hectares of clear sand, nine summer hibiscus, three spring willow.

It was indeed the world’s number one long couplet!

Xia Pingan smiled in his heart.

After finishing the first half of the couplet, the old man turned around and looked at Xia Pingan.” This is the first half of the couplet. If Young Master wants to come up with a second half, you can write it at any time. If you can’t think of it at the moment, Young Master can also slowly think about it here. Looking at the boundless beauty here, perhaps you will be inspired!”

“Thank you, sir. I already know how to write the second half of the couplet. Please lend me your pen! “Xia Ping ‘an smiled and took the brush from the old man. Under the surge of divine power, the brush moved like a dragon and snake. Golden light flashed and he left the second line on the left side of the pavilion door.

– – I drink wine to the void, sigh for the hero who is here? Think about it: the Han Dynasty used to build ships, the Tang Dynasty used iron pillars, the Song Dynasty used jade axes, and the Yuan Dynasty used leather bags. Wei Lie Feng Gong, exhausted his efforts to move mountains, all bead curtains painted beams, rolled up in the evening rain and morning clouds, then cut off the stone tablet remnants, all handed over to the blue smoke. Only won: a few pestle sparse bell, half of the river fishing fire, two rows of autumn geese, a pillow clear frost.

As soon as Xia Ping ‘an finished writing the couplet, the door of the pavilion opened automatically. Inside the door, there was already a different world.

The old man looked at Xia Pingan’s couplet, and his expression changed slightly. He seemed to be a little emotional.” I didn’t expect the descendants to still remember!”

“Sir, because of this world’s number one couplet, you left your name in the future generations. This couplet made the 500-mile Dianchi Lake famous in the sea.”Xia Pingan said.

“I dare not!” The old man shook his head.” 1 came back for the sake of fame and profit. After all, I was muddle-headed!””

“That’s it!” Xia Ping ‘an replied,”It’s a good thing to go this time. When did I owe anyone a debt of poetry and wine?””

The two of them smiled at each other and bowed. Xia Ping ‘an walked up the seventh step and stepped into the door of the Grand View Tower. The scenery in front of him changed and he was already in another space.

There was nothing in this space except for a twelve-sided prism-shaped jade pillar. The pillar was hollow and the top was not exposed. There were forty-five talisman spots on the twelve-sided pillar that flickered with golden light.

Xia Pingan circled around the pillar and thought for a moment. He raised his hand and left a 45-word talisman on the pillar.

– – The sky is above, and the earth is below. If you obey, you will live. If you don’t obey, you will die. (Note 1)

This was the [Qi Circulation Jade Pendant Inscription!, the earliest Qigong cultivation literature in China.

As soon as these forty-five words were said, the huge pillar shone with a golden light in the next second. It actually turned into a ray of light and entered Xia Ping ‘an’s secret mandala. It stood tall in High Firmament City, attracting many people in High Firmament City to watch and learn.

As for Xia Ping ‘an, the moment the giant pillar disappeared, a door appeared at the spot where the pillar had disappeared. Xia Ping’ an stepped into the door.

Behind the door was a strange world. There were flames in the sky and sea water on the ground. Between the water and fire, there were powerful fire dragons circling in the sky.

Xia Pingan smiled when he saw this. He thought that the fifth stage would be very difficult. He did not expect that the fifth stage would test one’s attainments in array formations. The array formation before him was formed by the fusion of the Heaven Earth Convergence Array and the Water and Fire Two Elements Array. There were also some other changes mixed in. To him, it was not difficult to walk out of the life gate of the array formation.

An hour later, Xia Ping ‘an stepped out of the formation and finally arrived at a magnificent hall.

” Congratulations. You are the first person to pass through the five stages of the Ultimate King Palace after me in the past tens of thousands of years…”

That familiar voice appeared in Xia Pingan’s ears again..
